Don't let facts sway you though, thinking of you Ted. wink

Tariffs have hit myself and my clients hard, very hard.

Wow. Sucks to be you.

Best,
Ted

Yeah, me and my clients. We have been screwed by this illegal and illogical tax. It cost me a sh!t load of money in the last year, a shocking amount really.

Trump and his policies have cost me more in the last year than every other POTUS of both parties combined.

Piss poor policy that makes absolutely no sense what so ever. Keep in mind that trade SURPLUS the UK has with us.

Still a ball O sunshine I see... Ted "get off of my lawn" Schefelbein.

I hope not. Mr. Trump our ''Grizzly Bear'' will get around the SCOTUS ruling. The word out is He increased the ''Tariffs'' 15%.
Go Mr. Trump Go.

P.S. Mr. Trump, our Greatest President.

Certainly appears that a few more hard hits are coming:

They admit to debanking the president of the United States. That probably won’t end well.

Best,

Most people went happily on with their lives never knowing or caring that we’ve been screwed by tariffs for decades.

Hey Ted, feel free to send the IRS a bit extra this year, you can join me in subsidizing the tax breaks for tech billionaires. You don't want to miss out on all the fun wink

I love these pro-tax(unlegislated and illegal tax) "conservatives", morally flexible I guess wink

When was the last time you had something positive to say Ted? Around the time of the Nixon Checkers Speech?

and then the tariffs/duty on shotguns went from 3.5% to 18.5% and business and consumers felt it.

The number of manufacturers to fold in 2025 was huge, terrible growth in the 4th quarter, a weak job market, a weak dollar.

We are getting screwed alright, by the POTUS. These tariffs have cost me and my clients dearly.

This is terrible policy, pure and simple and many other small businesses have been negatively impacted as well.

Ignorance might be bliss but it is damn hard to be ignorant when your bottom line is being hammered by an illegal tax.

I thought the facts say that you have adjusted and thrived. When conversation devolves, it's what you have written.

Some day, we will see a chief justice aoc, and the court stacked with ilhan omars, then what. Don't worry, the strategy applies to wider trade partners, and not just our favorites. Everyone feels the pinch of more expensive chinese plastics and pot metals.

What's your solution to tipping the trade scales away from big oil, to home town USA. Besides the pp knee jerk comments.
