The leader of our country has declared bankruptcy nine times and I'm starting to hear from people who are suspicious and are saying things like what he's really trying to do is drive the dollar down so he can personally borrow more money at a lower interest rate. Now I don't know exactly what that means, but when a person is suddenly losing a lot of money they're going to become more and more skeptical about EVERYTHING. I guess that's me right now.

What is the point of these tariffs and will they realistically actually work??

I'm not asking for people to sound off on Trump and for others to respond by sounding off on woke. I just want to know what the ultimate end goal here is and whether or not this will actually make things better in the long run. If it doesn't, I don't see why ANYONE would want this guy to remain in office for another day unless they are just completely brainwashed. That's the kind of thing that happens to people that get sucked into cults. They give all their money to it and continue to think it's this great and wonderful thing.

It’s all a bunch of hope. That’s literally all it is. Hope that other countries will just drop their tariffs and then we will do the same. Hope that this means the American public will just start buying American products. Hope that companies will start manufacturing here instead of on foreign lands and do it immediately.

This is the idea. Maybe we will start seeing some roi on it in 20 years after a nice big recession. Should we really trust someone with financial sense that’s literally bankrupted a casino?

3. improved services for veterans and Native Americans
4. evaluated scientific evidence of climate change and chose to try and alleviate its' planet-wide problems
5. dramatically changed viewpoints on women so they are now in the work force in senior/leadership positions in the armed forces, for profit and non-profit entities

So, ya whine all you want about "leeches." Your generation (which ever one is yours) will have its chance.

You lost me at climate change which is not real from a human made standpoint.

Okay, what have you dug up? I’m listening. Am I and everyone else going to recoup our losses before this is all over???

Not that this shocks anyone, but this has absolutely no substance at all.

Do your own research for crying out loud. Think for yourself.

He won’t say because what I posted is 100% what the hope is. It’s all hopes and prayers. Our economy was in a great spot months ago, but lead it to trump to fuck it up and act like he’s fixing things. Yeah we have a massive deficit, his answer to that are tariffs and using them to pay for the tax cuts. Genius. I’m sure with all the doge operations we will see a balanced budget in no time. Not going to hold my breath.

Hey Ville, what's UofL's NIL? I'm sure Josh was more than happy to open the books up to you at one of those PTA meetings!

LOL!!

I can't believe the people on this board haven't caught on to your bullshit.

lol see brew. No substance as always. I don’t think the guy has ever answered a direct question on here, ever. Remember though he can have a conversation with anyone lol. I’m excited for the YouTube or video link he did his own research with to accompany his next post. Tried to insult me, but doesnt even know how nil works. Hilarious.

What's UofL's NIL, Mr. Expert? Were you lying, when you tried to infer that you know Josh Heird so well that he let you in on what the number was? Funny thing, you didn't give that key piece of info away, did you?

Oh yea, did you think I forgot about your UCLA claim? Let me guess, ole Mickey has kids that go to the same school as your kids, and he whispered in your ear that they just don't have the best NIL support.

LOL! What a fucking fraud.

Come on over to the bb threads lou. We can discuss lol

So you really don’t have any fucking clue at all. You’d be the worst interview subject of all time. “Well I’m not gonna answer that! Do your own research!!”
