Not the cost of all his golfing trips,but the loss of defence contracts and foreign trade.
Canada alone has cancelled fighter deals and it's submarine order went to Germany.Bourbon sales alone have dropped by almost 1 billion dollars.
Farm exports have plummeted and cropsare rotting in the fields.
NATO members are turning away from US arms contracts due to worries about supply chain issues etc.
It is not easy to find exact figures but the loss of revenue must be in the $ trillions.
 
add the long-term costs that haven't been bundled up yet, the future cost of the debt, loss of trade revenue (see the arkansas farmers and others), labor shortages in basic industries. enjoy the 'tax cut' while you can because there will be yuge bills to be paid in the near future.

Prior to the tariffs the US was hemorrhaging wealth from our economy and that trend cannot be sustained indefinitely.

Perhaps the Trump solution is imperfect but at least he is getting people to discuss the problem.

the US was not losing wealth. those imports built an economy for cheaper american consumerism. the tariffs are an added tax paid the importer and are being passed along to the end-user. some companies are eating the tariffs but that remains to be seen for how long they forego profits.

and don't forget reshoring. nothing says come and invest in the USA like a raid on a korean georgia auto plant.

The Trump solution?
😂
That ... person can't speak a straight sentence and describes the world like a five year old using his favourite crayons (except brown, he's eaten that one thinking it's chocolate) and you think he has solutions?
🤣
He needed less than a year to destroy every friendship the US had and works really hard to destroy the economy and the state but you want to trust ... that?
😂
Sorry, afk. I peed myself laughing.
 
In this order Trump is working for himself, his family, his rich friends, and rich people in general. The poorly educated, low income people he pretends to love are being taken for a ride. He thinks they are suckers.
So many suckers. And they do worship his ... tiny hands.
Or something like that.

Gents, please stop posting stuff like that. My stock of unpeed panties is pretty limited by now.
