    Werewolf HOOVERISM?? Trump Rebuffs Demands to Lift Tariffs as Economy Falters



    WASHINGTON — President Trump continues to resist calls from hundreds of companies to drop tariffs he has placed on foreign goods, arguing that the levies do not impose costs on American companies, despite economic evidence to the contrary.

    The Trump administration has been weighing an executive order that would defer tariff payments on some imports, though not cancel the levies outright. But Mr. Trump said Tuesday evening that he had yet to approve the measure, and it was not clear if the administration would ultimately proceed with it.

    “That might be, but I’m going to have to approve the plan,” Mr. Trump said of lowering tariffs. He pushed back on news reports that he had made a decision, saying, “I approve everything and they haven’t presented it to me, so therefore it’s false reporting.”

    People familiar with the deliberations say the administration has been weighing such a deferral, which would apply to the “most-favored nation” tariffs the United States has long imposed on goods from around the globe, rather than the levies Mr. Trump has imposed on Chinese products or foreign metals.

    While the administration previously considered a 90-day deferral, recent discussions have included a 30-day deferral, and people with knowledge of the situation cautioned that the plans remain in flux.

His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    nothing to do with Trump's "ego" how would it save lives?
    Tariffs haven't added any costs to consumers -look at the inflation rate

    The tariffs got us phase 1 -good by itself.
    If Trump is re-elected a comprehensive bilateral agreement becomes most probable -most excellent

    ??? I think it was only last week he was asking the public about lifting tariffs on medical supplies!!!!!!

    Maybe just for the hell of it.

    The Trump administration cracked open the door to removing tariffs on medical supplies from China as the White House scrambles to address a shortage of masks, ventilators and other tools needed to subdue the coronavirus outbreak.

    I wonder if seeking public comments on any tariffs is normal by a US Trade Rep?
    ( it was Lighthizer -not Trump who asked for that)

    I worry about recouping all the monies handed out/loaned to them, especially since it seems appropriate for many of the companies asking for a hand-out will pay out bonuses while maintaining armies of tax attorneys working 24/7 to beat us out of every nickle in taxes they can get....
