Well , let’s ask AI .

Question :

Are Tariffs creating great wealth in the US economy

AI Overview

No, the consensus among most economists and a vast majority of economic studies is that tariffs do not create overall great wealth for the United States economy as a whole; instead, they generally lead to reduced economic growth, higher consumer prices, and job losses in many sectors.
While the U.S. government has collected billions in tariff revenue, the economic costs largely outweigh this benefit.

Abstract of an article i read today.

"In the Q3 GDP report, growth was driven by consumption, government spending, and net exports, while gross private investment made a broadly flat contribution. At this stage of the cycle, a flat investment contribution is not neutral — it is a warning."

"Government consumption and investment added roughly 0.5 percentage points to GDP growth. This contribution is unlikely to be repeated. The federal deficit is already near its effective limits, and sustaining growth via fiscal impulse would require an even larger deficit.

Net exports also contributed positively, not because exports surged, but because imports fell sharply. This decline is closely linked to tariffs and trade frictions. A tariff-driven fall in imports mechanically raises GDP, even when it reflects weaker domestic demand."

Also if imports are dropping so would the tariff revenues. As always Sleepy TACO wants it both ways.

But you didn't ask TrumpAI. The answer from that LLM is a combination of all caps, poor punctuation, and littered with the phrase "...maybe ever!" proving tariffs are the solution to more problems than 'tussin.

Can i ask.. is it a clout thing? You can stop messaging at any time. As we discussed i haven't initiated any contact with you. And yeah this clout thing doesn't work btw, it doesn't make your social status like mine, give any of my qualities. I just love the "Magic" qualities of it all, that by knowing someone you somehow gain that person's influence or success. It doesn't work like that mate, no freeriding.
Meanwhile the said qualities:
Online sex offender ️
Never posts a trade ️

Nothing perverted with love you should try it, everyone loves it! Be true to your kinks. I can unfortunately not turn off my magnetism, just some people get jealous or want more than they can get
Deal with rejection Ferna. Suck it up and try your chance elsewhere. And stop using this forum like a dating app.

And remember, only a shit attracts flies...

It ought to go without saying that most taxes, without more, are wealth depleting.

A tax on what are known as "bads" is an exception, in the aggregate. Tobacco and alcohol, for example. I could name something else, but it is too politicised in the US.

Sources of change for real GDP

Real GDP increased at an annual rate of 4.3 percent (1.1 percent at a quarterly rate) in the third quarter, reflecting increases in consumer spending, exports, and government spending that were partly offset by a decrease in investment. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, decreased.

Hmmm with unemployment on the up - https://www.forexfactory.com/calenda...5#graph=142588 it looks like you are trying to sell us cheap chinese crap there Mr. Trump.

5 to 5 life… markets always react to these big claims. Tariffs may show short-term numbers, but traders know the real test is sustainability. 4.3% GDP sounds strong, yet the question is how long momentum can hold before global flows rebalance. Watching the deficit shrink is interesting, but FX pairs will tell the truth in price action

Trump: I think the Zelenskyy meeting will be good. I expect to speak with Putin soon - Politico

Trump: I think the Zelenskyy meeting will be good. I expect to speak with Putin soon - Politico. Trump: Zelenskyy ‘doesn’t have anything until I approve it’ President Donald Trump on Friday cast himself as the ultimate arbiter of any peace deal between Ukraine and Russia, in an exclusive conversation with POLITICO. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is expected to meet with Trump in Florida on Sunday and told reporters he’s bringing with him a new 20-point plan for peace. The framework includes a proposed demilitarized zone and the meeting is expected to focus on U.S. security guarantees. But in an interview, Trump appeared lukewarm to Zelenskyy’s latest overture and in no rush to endorse the Ukrainian president’s proposal. “He doesn’t have anything until I approve it,” Trump said. “So we’ll see what he’s got.” Still, Trump believed he could have a productive meeting this weekend. “I think it’s going to go good with him. I think it’s going to go good with [Vladimir] Putin,” Trump said, adding that he expects to speak with the Russian leader “soon, as much as I want.”
