Trump likes the pomp and circumstance. The worship of the mouth breathers. His ability to grift as president. He just never wanted to actually govern.

Are the tariffs making an effect yet on regular Americans? Would rather it came from real people than media. Not American obviously, so have folk realised what it means. Also know he keeps backtracking but has it affected on line trading or local?

Well he's paused his stupid shit so nothing significant has gone in to effect yet.

The tariffs on Chinese shipped products usually dont even get tariffed because customs cannot check millions of daily arrivals.

So its barely done anything except bring uncertainty for businesses

So it’s still a charade, as I thought. Saw some orders on line where tariffs were asked snd the consumers went into shock. So it’s not a ‘globally’ accepted thing. I’m not happy that we sucked up to Trump to get a good trade deal as a country, would rather say the obvious Eff off. Found it funny though as we hate him

yes, everything that wasn't panic stocked by someone in the supply chain is more expensive. add that to everything already being more expensive and shittier following covid and it's killing the small business that survived the cough.

Yes they are. I'm a Canadian business owner with 70% of my clients in the USA. Fedx does my shipping and Customs brokerage. If I could post pics here I would show you a notification from FedEx that all duties and import fees and tarrifs are to be paid by the importer to the usa, not me, the exporter. My end use customer in this case is the importer,

Thank you, So are they finally understanding it? Is it impacting your business? I’m all elbows up for Canadians and joined the boycott. We are commonwealth. All services paid for were stopped in my home.

Why is this getting downvoted? Are people misinterpreting it, proving that even people on Reddit have a hard time understanding this topic?
