Tariffs and sky high audio prices.


With the Chinese tariffs taking hold on 100% of the imports and maybe even on Mexico forthcoming, the audio industry is going to see another big jump in their sky high prices. Anyone making purchases ASAP to get lower prices from existing inventory before post tariff products enter the marketplace?

Trump has business interests in Ireland, Scotland, Panama, Canada, Turkey, South Korea, United Arab Emirates, India, Russia and quite possibly, a few more than publicly stated.


Okay. Well then we have different definitions of globalist. My understanding of globalist is one who is working towards the goal of one world government. You seem to think having private business interests internationally makes one a globalist.

In this case it would seem I get the better of the argument. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/globalism
Would you consider revising your previous statement? And endeavor to be more accurate in your use of language going forward?


glob·al·ist/ˈɡlōbəlist/Learn to pronouncenoun
  1. 1.a person who advocates the interpretation or planning of economic and foreign policy in relation to events and developments throughout the world.
adjective
  1. 1.relating to or advocating the operation or planning of economic and foreign policy on a global basis.

Pretty hard to not be one as defined these days. Maybe Kim Jong Un. Some aspire to be globalists but only if they get to call all the shots which can never happen. Sound familiar?
IT’s not at all at odds with America First. One always looks out for themselves first in any interaction. However good deals tend to be mutually beneficial.  You can’t just look out for yourself and expect a "good deal" Maybe with a gun to the other persons head but you will likely regret that later.



Okay, I think I see the confusion now. You guys seem to think globalist is the opposite of isolationist. Like the minute you do or even think about anything outside your own borders you're a globalist. Totally missing the point.

Read the definitions again. Two key elements: advocates; and "on a global basis."

Where has Trump ever advocated doing anything "on a global basis"? Not a day goes by he hasn't repeated that he's working in the best interest of America. For American's. Of course at any given time he can be talking about any country on the planet. Duh. That is not the point. If it was then the term would lose all meaning.

Which on that score there's actually a really fascinating reason why you guys so often misuse language in a way that is imprecise and blurs reality.

Maybe we get to that one later. For now, again, it should be obvious Trump is the opposite of globalist. Trump is the anti-globalist. And it would be nice to know that fact is acknowledged.
