The young want things "instant"
To be patient on "tariffs" is not in the DNA of most under 30. You just wait.
Main Street will win. Trade deficit will get much better which will give companies time to reset in US

Yep. Young people feel that the American dream is dead. Does staying the course fix that?

Does fighting trade wars and incurring recession fix that?
Most manufacturing jobs cant be economically done here. Those that can are going to be automated. The world changes. Dreams of returns to the 50’s are much worse than our current economic reality. We live much better lives than any generation has lived before.
It's slowing the over-stimulated economy and allowing a reduction in interest rates with possibility
of some degree of repatriated work. Lower rates also allow the US to refinance its debt, which would be crushing to future generations.
Oh please. It’s causing a recession, not slowing an overheated economy. It will cause stagflation as
prices will stay high especially with rate cuts and high prices for goods. Get your head out of your arse. Your clown leader is fighting a backwards looking war instead of preparing for the future economy. He has burned down many bridges. Just a bomb throwing chaos agent.
Prices are down and hiring is up. Trump Train!!! Toot Toot!!! Kamala would have been better? Sure.

Yes the young should learn to trust the dumbest people in the country

Please spare us all any comments about trusting dumb people to run our country.
You voted for this.
Not even in the same realm of stupidity as this administration
The morons voting for a galactic imbecile have zero room to discuss any stupidity but their own
Just know Trump and his team are working hard for you to get you a better life. I know
you hate him but he is still working for you. Try and have a good day and enjoy the fruits of his work.
Only you would think cheating at golf and embarrassing himself everyday would benefit the country
No one with any semblance of intelligence believes you
If you ain't cheating at golf, you ain't trying. I like to use my foot wedge to improve my lie.

Of course you do
You should try developing skill like everyone else but that wouldn’t be the MAGA way would it?
Got a good chuckle out of this one. Yes, that is exactly what he is doing! He is so giving!
Imagine how far up your own ass you'd have to be to believe that Trump cares about anyone but himself.
Ah, the i-know-you-are-but-what-am-I response
Popular among 8-year-olds and MAGA.
That’s an insult to 8-year-olds, and I apologize all who are offended.
Or maybe some self-awareness on your part. I know it's a lot to ask but I figured you were
intelligent enough for that. Silly me, I know.
Seems to be your goal. That is why many oppose you.

A number of Seniors don't feel comfortable with change and wish things would stay the same...
...the U.S. economy has changed with time and we are now the leading economy in the world, thanks to our outstanding position in Service Industries. AI and Quantum Computing will drive the future...if we care at all about our young, we'll make sure they can excel in Industries that provide such leadership.
Note that while we used to be strong in manufacturing, such exports now represent less than 10% of our GDP...now other countries are where we used to be in that arena, and typically get 30, 40, 50%...or more of their GDP there; it would be foolish to go backwards and try to compete with them without a low wage workforce.
Watch Conor's linked video segment with GOP Senator Lankford talking about this very issue...
More of the same means the Republic dies under its own debt.
Trying anything other than what the 2 parties have been doing is better. At least there is a chance the Republic will survive. An unknown is better than a certain evil. More of the same is just stealing from future generations while sending their employment opportunities over seas.
Do future generations dream of stitching together $3 T-shirts?
There are almost 500,000 manufacturing job vacancies in the US right now. I don't wonder why.
We have 500K unfilled manufacturing jobs right now in the nation.

The Debt solution is clear...do the very same thing Clinton/Gore did with GOP Legislators...
read what they did...thoughtfully work together to find spending cuts that respect affected federal workers, while at the same time amend the tax code to ensure revenue is fairly sourced. That time it resulted in a Surplus...Reduced Debt...and a 99-1 Senate authorization.
Dems haven't changed their approach, but the GOP vows to never increase taxes...even on Billionaires. There you have it.
As for Trump's fallacious rationale for outrageous Tariffs...there is no way we can or should try to go back in time and compete for basic manufacturing items...Stupidity Personified. Frankly, I think he knows that...and is just following orders. Doesn't matter to him so long as he gets to enjoy the good life.
Not sure if you realize it yet, but you are just as much a victim as anyone else with what Trump is up to.
Ha! This is all going to result in much more debt.
None of this will decrease the deficit.
One trillion for the DOD.
Five trillion in new tax cuts.
MUCH less capital gains tax revenue.
And if we have a recession - and there’s a damn good chance of that - MUCH less income tax revenue.
Fans of debt will be thrilled.
Don’t forget the cost of dealing with an Ebola pandemic or another 9/11 ….
…. because DOGE fired all the folks that prevent such things.
$1T every 100 days.
