I suggest you read the article again and then think about it, because if you don't understand it you are beyond help.

I've read the article and I'm at a loss as to how increased tariffs paid to the US along with added exports would have a downside impact.
Obviously demand is still there so price point is not an issue for the consumers.

Exports from Vietnam to the US has risen since donny brought in tariffs, which donny hoped would create more jobs for Americans, which in this case it hasn't happened, and in other cases it hasn't happened either.
I don't where donny got his economic degree from, but the standard can't be high, or perhaps i should say the bar isn't very low.

But they are at least getting a return for it in the form of tariffs which they were not getting before?
That statistic is telling me that the tariffs aren't high enough in that instance.

And the market is saying that there is still demand at the price (even if tarriff is being passed on the end consumer).

But employment is only one part of the equation. Tarriffs were implemented to stop the flood of cheap goods into the country that the US was not getting a net benefit from.

At least now they are getting a 'fee' wheras before they received nothing and were locally uncompetitive.

There are no penguins in the northern hemisphere so that would truly be a penguin colony.

Oh really?

Don’t you mean a tax imposed on US consumers?

The people who have lost jobs are not getting a fee.
donny's tariffs policy is causing unemployment to rise that's a fact that even a donny lover like you can't ignore

Not always passed onto consumers. In any case exports have risen so that tells me demand for that product remains high and that the price being paid at the retail end is still considered fair. If the price was not considered fair, then demand would drop off meaning less of a need for the exported good.

How is the example you posted causing a loss to US jobs?

Who's paying the 'fee'?

There’s still a need because funnily enough, people still need to buy shit. Especially cheap shit from Asia.

Why are you condoning an extra tax on ordinary Americans who can least afford, while tax cuts to billionaires are rammed through?

Everybody but MAGAtards knows this

The importer.

Haha - exactly. How is it even possible?

If the price was too expensive then it stands to reason there would be less demand. In the example posted, exports had risen.

Again, ignoring the fact that this is an extra tax on the working class, while slashing taxes for billionaires.

Not even relevant in the example you posted.Is it true that unemployment has risen in the US since donny brought in tariffs

With Vietnam's exports rising in the US, the US consumer shows that they prefer products from Vietnam rather than the US
I point out rightly that tariffs are not working in the US and unemployment is rising, which even you as a fan of donny would have to admit.

i think it was prof sachs who said the demagogue has the mentality of a 4 yo - so!

The importer.

US importers in this case?
