Summary:The President should have the authority to impose tariffs for national security purposes, similar to the power to stop all trade or license foreign countries, as tariffs are beneficial for US businesses and the current inability to tariff other countries is detrimental.
Sentiment:Policy-Advocating and Critical
Key Claims:
  • The President is allowed to stop all trade with and license foreign countries, an action more onerous than a tariff, with full Congressional approval.
  • The President is not allowed to impose a simple tariff on a foreign country, even for national security purposes.
  • This situation deviates from the intentions of the Founders.
  • It is 'ridiculous' that other countries can tariff the U.S. but the U.S. cannot tariff them, which is seen as a 'dream' for other countries.
  • Businesses are investing in the USA specifically because of tariffs.
  • The United States Supreme Court appears to be unaware of these economic realities.

Summary:China is reportedly initiating hostile trade actions by proposing export controls on rare earth elements and other production components to countries globally. These actions are described as unprecedented and designed to disrupt global markets, drawing anger from other nations. The U.S. views this as China leveraging a monopolistic position, prompting the U.S. President to declare that the U.S. will respond with financial countermeasures, including significantly increased tariffs on Chinese products, despite a previously positive relationship and a planned meeting with President Xi now being uncertain.
Sentiment:Confrontational
Key Claims:
  • China is exhibiting hostile behavior by sending letters to countries proposing export controls on rare earth elements and other production components.
  • These proposed export controls are unprecedented and would disrupt global markets and make life difficult for many countries.
  • Other countries have contacted the U.S. expressing anger over China's trade hostility.
  • China has been secretly amassing a monopoly position on certain elements, including 'Magnets.'
  • The U.S. possesses stronger and more extensive monopoly positions than China, which have not been utilized until now.
  • The U.S. President will be forced to financially counter China's move.
  • A massive increase of tariffs on Chinese products imported into the U.S. is one of the countermeasures under consideration.
  • The timing of China's action, coinciding with peace in the Middle East, is suspicious.
  • The relationship with China was good over the past six months, making this move surprising.
  • A planned meeting with President Xi at APEC in South Korea is now unlikely.
  • The U.S. countermeasure, though potentially painful, will ultimately be beneficial for the U.S.A.

Summary:The post asserts that the movie-making business has been taken from the United States by other countries, negatively impacting California due to the state's Governor. To address this, a 100% tariff on all movies made outside the United States is proposed.
Sentiment:Directive
Key Claims:
  • The movie-making business has been stolen from the United States by other countries.
  • California, with its 'weak and incompetent Governor,' has been particularly hard hit by this situation.
  • A 100% tariff on any and all movies made outside of the United States will solve this long-standing problem.
