Brave, bold, and ballsy-- I'm thinking still, that there is more 'method to the madness' than meets the eye with Pres Trump's lightning speed moves.

Brave, bold, and ballsy-- I'm thinking still, that there is more 'method to the madness' than meets the eye with Pres Trump's lightning speed moves. Yes, we can survive, for a short while, the inconveniences to obtain the place our country needs to be globally. We don't have decades to get there if we are to be and maintain our countries status in this world. I'm sure there is more than meets the eye here, and yes, Trump is treading dangerous ground- I sure hope he knows what the hell he is doing. I'm leaning towards the US will bounce back. Thou, very skeptical.
I have little doubt that we will bounce back. But the questions are when and under what conditions? I too doubt that President Trump's move will result in any gains worth the damage he is wreaking. He's a gift to the Democrats, but I fear that his tariffs are a bane to the nation. Like you, I'll take a wait-and-see approach. What else can I do?
I hope our economic picture improves much and quickly. Millions of Americans depend on their 401k's or their IRA's for survival.
I know Mr. O'Reilly says he thinks Putin is insane. Maybe. From what I gather, Putin is extremely cagey and manipulative. But apparently, he's not immune from miscalculating.
Taking President Trump at his word (i.e. assuming he's not on a power trip), his plan is three fold: 1) Get all the foreign makers of goods and services to relocate here and 2) for domestic business to flourish, and 3) to get countries to eliminate tariffs on American goods. Even if this happens to a large degree, by that time our economy might crater.
Getting factories to locate or relocate here does offer us additional tax revenue but not so much in employment. factories are highly mechanized. Mechanization probably takes away far more jobs than with factories leaving the country.
Foreign products are cheaper, hence the moving out of the US. Trump has never revealed his full vision in detail- we will be in a 'rough patch' for yrs to come. Our daily lives will feel a shift and change ( esp.the younger generation) to adjust to the plan, as well as the middle class taking the brunt of the pain. It's inevitable, to get to the place Pres Trump wants this country to be in such a short time, and that it is to be #1 on the planet in all things. Never a loser, always a winner.
There is no "plan" unless the plan is for everyone in US to pay more for everything, just a blow hard with empty rhetoric and it sounds like you've fallen for it.
What "place" does Trump want the country to be in? Because right now it's headed towards the toilet.
The 'place' he wants is to be the #1 superpower in the world, even using Imperialist maneuvers if needed. And I'm sure purging the scum out of society will maybe be carried to far, more than any expected. It is how far he carries it out is my concern.
Im absolutely not delusional in any manner,dude. I'm just stating, where did I mention I believed what I wrote? Your assuming- I wrote what seems to be happening according to what Trump speaks. What then is your analysis?
There is always a plan, a plan A, B, and C. Good, bad, or ugly, but a plan. We will head 'towards' the toilet maybe, but not go into the toilet. And go up from there. Crossing our fingers. No one else has/ had a plan lately. It is dicey, granted.
Anyone who still thinks he's playing chess or something only needs to look at the lazy, half-assed way he and his economic advisors calculated the tariff rates. They couldn't be bothered to sift through all the data and figure out exactly how much each country was charging for each product. They just divided US imports into US exports for a given country, converted it to a percentage, and divided it in half.

Putin is insane, Iran has a nuke (will soon), and Europe is scratching its head. Trump made a move with a plan in mind-- the game is on.

You are delusional or never understood America's standing in the world up until now if you believe that nonsense you just wrote.

Not brave, just stupid.
There is no method (that has already been proven) just insane vindictiveness.
Trump and his advisors have no idea what they are doing, because if they did, it means they deliberately set out to make people's lives worse.
