TRUMP'S BEST MOVE SINCE TAKING OFFICE

By Howie Katz

 

Left: Out - Right: In

 

 

President Trump has removed Barack Obama's portrait in the White House and replaced it with a picture of himself pumping his fist after he got shot in the ear during an assassination attempt.

 

This is, without a doubt, the best move Trump has made since taking office.

THOSE CRAZY 104% TARIFFS ON IMPORTED GOODS FROM CHINA

 By Howie Katz

 

  

Car parts imported from China

 

Trump's 104% tariff on goods imported from China will cost Americans a pretty penny. Especially hard-hit will be the American car industry.

The car manufacturers, including Ford, General Motors, Stellantis (formerly Chrysler) and Elon Musk's Tesla, will have no choice but to keep importing foreign car parts because without them they would be left with only the shells of cars. That also applies to the foreign brands like Honda and Toyota that are manufactured in the United States.

That 104% tariff will cause the price of cars to rocket sky high. Most Americans will not be able to afford a new car.

 

Elon Musk's Tesla is made up mostly of Chinese-made parts

 

Because of the tariffs which he opposes, Elon Musk personally lost billions in the market. He called Trump's top trade adviser Peter Navarro a "moron" and "dumber than a sack of bricks."

Trump expects that his tariffs will establish new plants and produce many jobs in this country. But experts believe it will be two years before that can happen. Meanwhile Americans will be stuck with higher prices on just about everything they buy..

And those sky rocketing car prices will force the car industry to cut way back on the production of cars. That will cause thousands of American workers to lose their jobs.

That 104% tariff is crazy or Trump is crazy ... or both. 

TRUMP INCLUDES THE HEARD AND MCDONALD ISLANDS ON HIS TARIFFS LIST ... THE ISLANDERS ARE REALY PISSED OFF

By Howie Katz

 

 

President Trump included the Heard and McDonald islands in the Indian Ocean among the counties subjected to his tariffs. The trouble is that the islands do not have any human inhabitants and are populated only by penguins.

 

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick explained that “So basically he (Trump) said, ‘Look, I can’t let any part of the world be a place where China or other countries can ship through them.’ “

The only humans to set foot on the islands are the occasional tourists who stay no more than a couple of hours while they pose for photographs with the penguins.

 

The Heard and McDonald islanders are really pissed off and declared that because of Trump's tariffs they were going to take their business elsewhere.

TRUMP'S 25% TARIFF ON IMPORTED CARS AND AUTO PARTS

 By Howie Katz

 

 

Auto parts on American cars that are imported mostly from China

 

Trump's 25% tariff on imported cars and auto parts is designed to get Americans to purchase American-made cars instead of foreign imports and to boost jobs in the auto industry. But it ain't a gonna do that.

That tariff is going to cost Americans more, not just for foreign imports, but for American cars as well. That's because most of the auto parts on American cars are imported, mostly from China.

The tariff on auto parts is not going to impact what there is of the auto parts industry in this country. With the high cost of labor, it is far cheaper to import car parts from China than it is to manufacture them here, the cost of shipping and the 25% tariff notwithstanding.

For example, take the container cranes in our ports. It costs a small fortune to ship these huge cranes to the United States from China.

 

A special freighter carrying container cranes from Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries Company Limited is pictured on a 72-day voyage headed for Houston's new Bayport Container Terminal, July 2023

 

Yet it costs far less to manufacture these cranes in China and ship them to the United States than it would cost to make them in this country. And the 25% tariff won't change that.

It's the high cost of labor in this country that has led to auto parts being made in China and for some American-brand cars and trucks to be made in Mexico. 

With an expected price increase of $6,000 for a Japanese or Korean import, President Trump says that Americans will switch to buying American-made cars. That may be wishful thinking.

Brand-loyalty will probably keep Honda, Toyota, Hyundai and Volkswagen drivers from switching to American brands. They'll just wait longer before buying a new car. 

It should also be noted that foreign carmakers have plants in the United States while American carmakers have plants in Mexico and China.

So, all that Trump's 25% tariff on imported cars and auto parts will do, as well as the other tariffs he's imposed, is to raise the prices for what Americans purchase.

THE LEGALIZATION OF MARIJUNA HAS DANGEROUS CONSEQUENCES

By Howie Katz

 

Note: In Texas marijuana is now legal for medical use

 

According to the AAA, after nicotine and alcohol, the legalization of marijuana has made cannabis the third most commonly used substance in the United States.

Some form of cannabis consumption is legal in 38 states. According to AAA, 24 states allow recreational use, while 14 states permit medical use only. 

In addition to the deleterious effects of marijuana on the individual users, the legalization of cannabis has threatened public safety. In states where the recreational use of cannabis is legal, there has been a significant increase in the use of marijuana. With the rise in cannabis use, researchers say impaired driving has become more common, leading to a heightened risk of crashes, injuries, and fatalities.      

The legalization of marijuana has consequences, none of which are good.
