Wealthy nations will attempt to maintain exports against President Trump tariffs by subsidizing their industries. Corporations have deeper pockets, and the politicians are used to the bribes, we call it “lobbying.” Therefore, the government responds by subsidizing the corporations [ie. the WEF business model].
Canada will subsidize their export industries, Germany will subsidize their auto industry, the EU will provide subsidies to their manufacturing powerhouses, and China will once again start subsidizing their manufacturing industry. Each of these nations will in turn devalue their currency.
However, poorer nations will be faster to lower import tariffs on USA goods because they have lower lobbying (bribe) income from corporations to govt. That’s what we should expect to see.
VIETNAM – Vietnam said it plans to cut import duties on a range of goods including cars, liquified natural gas and agricultural products.
[…] The announcement on the finance ministry’s website late Tuesday came less than two weeks after Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh said the country was reviewing duties in order to encourage increased imports from the United States.
Vietnam represents the United States’s third-highest trade deficit, behind China and Mexico.
According to the finance ministry statement, import duties on some cars will be cut by half and the tax rate for liquified natural gas will drop from five percent to just two percent. Duties will also be cut for a number of other products including frozen chicken thighs, almonds, sweet cherries, raisins and wood. (more)
During President Trump’s first term, many companies proactively moved manufacturing operations from China to other nations in Southeast Asia. Vietnam was a big benefactor of the manufacturing shift. It is smart for them to respond to the reciprocal tariffs coming April 2nd by lowering their tariff rate.
President Trump has instructed the Commerce Department and U.S. Trade Representative to calculate both the tariffs and the non-tariff trade barriers as part of the reciprocity equation. The non-tariff barrier calculation is the factor many foreign governments are anticipating with great interest.
This overall dynamic is a major reset in global trade as the U.S. market is the crown jewel for entry. We are the customers that everyone wants access to. President Trump is leveraging that access to trigger internal GDP growth.
Remember, even the GDP calculation is a factor of the value of products we generate, minus the value of the products we import. If we lower the import side of the equation and simultaneously increase domestic production, the GDP expands significantly more than just increasing production.
MAGAnomics is a beautiful thing! Oh how I love PDJT. MAGA = Man Asked God Answered — and did he answer!!! Terrific time to be alive and a Trump supporter. Be of good cheer as Sundance has told us 👍😊
YES!!!
Just in Judge Boasberg put nationwide Temporary Restraining Order on MAGAnomics. Declare MAGAnomics unconstitutional because it is working. Can’t have that! (sarc)
Yes, Democrat Judge Boasberg will issue an Injunction ordering Trump to vacate the White House, so Illegal Migrants can move in.
Pass the Winnamins!!
Love and Blessings to All!!
MAGA 👊👊🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
Excellent explanation of how tariffs can work. Some people just refuse to understand this.
The eternal question posed when trying to map Leftist behaviors, it always comes to the proportion of stupid:evil.
Some refuse to understand, others simply lack the mental circuitry and horsepower to do so. Can’t teach a house cat to do algebra.
The common denominator throughout the past and present, where communism / socialism exist can be summed up in one word:
Cruelty: One administers the cruelty, or one is subjected to the cruelty. Either way, neither escapes the cruelty.
If you missed Howard Lutnick in this interview. It is well worth sending to friends to help them understand MAGA.

A fascinating interview! I wholeheartedly recommend it to all. Very positive, informative and entertaining. Praise GOD!!! Fight! Fight! Fight!
I follow a handful of financial experts that don’t always agree with Wall Street. A few have not been infected with TDS. They have been right about 65% of the time.
On tariffs, all of them say it’s going to destroy our country and economy.
Sundance is the only person who gets this right.
Except for my wife…
We were listening to radio and talking head said something like “tariffs are horrible and Trump is the devil”
she actually said “didn’t Trump put tariffs on stuff in his first term, then inflation went away and stock market shot up?”
MAGAnomics.
The only way we beat the world back from trying to steal everything we have of value.
Thank you God for this man at this time. Maybe I can retire before I die..
Wealthy nations will attempt to maintain exports against President Trump tariffs by subsidizing their industries
And how will they subsidize their exports? With government money collected from taxpaying citizens! Again the burden falls on the taxpayer, , not the US buyer, not the seller, and not the ‘government’. Stupid idea.
I wondered the same thing. I watched a press briefing by Pierre Polievre here in Canada last night after the tarrifs were declared by President Trump.
PP promised to ensure affected auto workers would receive supplemental income. Canadians are already taxed to the breaking point. Taxes can’t increase without causing considerable damage. Everyone is barely making it now.
All I can see as an option is to print more money. This is why Sundance says our dollar will plummet in value. Our stupid liberals have had a decade to destroy our economy. This could be very serious. We actually deserve it for voting libs for a 10 years. Stupid people.

I may be misunderstanding your statement. Sundance says “Each of these nations will in time devalue their currency.” That means the dollar will increase in value compared to their currency and that it will plummet in value. Seems to be the tariffs and threats of tariffs is working.
Dan is in Canada speaking about the Canadian dollar.
Thanks. Makes sense now
Dan is referring to the Canadian dollar.
You had politicians taking bribes.
I was happy to see this, meaning Vietnam. They want to be a good world neighbor, I think.
Vietnam is letting the Christian faith be proclaimed.
Always remember, every nation has a DS…every single one.
Vietnam is still a communist country.
Maybe they are communist…they are letting the Christian faith be preached freely.
It’s the people I am happy for…
Technically, it’s more of tyranny, but with the opening up of religious freedom and capitalism, it should evolve along the same pathway that Taiwan did.
In the 1980s, it was hoped that our engagement with China would produce the same result. Unfortunately, the CCP doubled down on tyranny.
Europe and the USA (until very recently) are also examples of how if too many Self-hating Marxists and Traitors infect your nation, it can all go into reverse as well.
There are many Catholics in Vietnam, and big Catholic Churches all over the place . Surprised anyone would bring it up
What is a DS? Really tried to figure it out–no dice…
Deep State
Again!

True, the oligarchs of these wealthy nations have always considered taxpayers their personal “slush fund” to cover unwanted disruptions affecting their ongoing wealth accumulation structures.
To them, good government is owned government.
Nothing new here, its the way of the world.
Viet Nam makes the most beautiful pottery on the planet. Planters in all sizes & shapes. Their colors are amazing. The pots from Mexico; just the opposite.
Everything in Mexico is cheaply made, they don’t care about quality or longevity. The labor pool have a saying here, “If you want to pretend your paying me , I will pretend to work”.
It seems most Canadians are clueless why the Canadian Government is doing this.
Donald Trump took away the big pot of tariff money their GOVERNMENT got from American Tariff’s. Allowing free trade would put the profits directly in the hands of the Canadian businesses instead of passing through the GOVERNMENT.
Sundance explains it so well.
“Corporations have deeper pockets, and the politicians are used to the bribes, we call it “lobbying.” Therefore, the government responds by subsidizing the corporations”
The Canadian citizens and smaller business owners will be screwed by devaluing currency and selective subsidies.
Trump is reshaping the face of the earth before our eyes. Economically and politically.
Now if we could just get Pam & Kash to follow the money laundering, the direct stealing from the American taxpayer which is a crime and finding specifically who and where this money is going to, we might just find we have people in robes possibly in on the steal.
FOLLOW THE MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, the price of imports goes down due to exporter subsidies and the higher relative dollar value. Providing additional revenue from tariffs to lower taxes while balancing the budget via DOGE and a refocus of our military on self-defense vs a WEF stooge producing never-ending wars.
Sounds like a win-win situation to me.
I think a general rule is that anything the ‘global’ uniparty stooges of the WEF want is terrible. Thus, the opposite is good by definition.
“…for a number of other products including frozen chicken thighs, almonds, sweet cherries, raisins…”
I don’t know about anyone else, but I do not want to buy food that has been imported from other countries.
Chicken thighs from Vietnam? Really? We can’t grow enough chickens in the U.S. to feed ourselves?
Oh, that’s right, the government slaughters them all ’cause of the ‘vid and stuff.
Vietnam imports chicken from the USA not vice versa
What about the 330 million plus pounds of beef We import from Canada? You going to cut beef out of your diet?
Because of drought and high feed prices. The The US must import beef to meet our needs. The 25% tariffs should help increase Our already high Meat prices nicely. If you like fresh vegetables. We import 40% of our needs as well. Much of those greens come from Mexico.
Expect a nice spike in food prices after all these Tariffs kick in fully. Grocery stores will be the first to show the effect of tariffs on our economy and your wallet.
There is no reason why the US can’t farm enough beef to meet our demand. Just take a look at the factors that are driving cattlemen out of business and eliminate those that have no real value.
Smart move, Vietnam!
GDP = (total products and services) – (imports-exports)
… I believe
Question for the Democrats: If tariffs are so bad for the people of America then why are there so many countries that have imposed tariffs on our goods for decades? If tariffs cause inflation, why don’t those countries have inflation, and why do their people not make an issue about the burden on the people that THEIR countries’ tariffs are causing? Why isn’t there a world of NO TARIFFS?
Wow!
So people actually believe in free-er trade! Who woulda’ thought? ☺
