Trump Admin Gave Tariff Exemptions to Companies that Donated to Republicans: Study
US firms may be looking at a specific method by which they can avoid the impact of tariffs levied on major trade partners by the Trump administration: donating to the Republican Party.
With President-elect Donald Trump set to assume office this month, many local companies are preparing themselves for the impact of the 47th president's tariff plan, in which he has promised to levy 25% tariffs on all goods sold to the US from certain countries including Canada and China, and Mexico.
Pay to play. America is entering the next level of corruption.
And I’m sure those companies will still raise prices publicly to “offset the costs of the tariffs” they aren’t paying.
It's the goal. Raise prices to match others and make a profit; pure capitalism.
Need to lower prices? Knowing republicans we will see a push for more "prison labor" aka slaves.
How to get more prisoners? Gather the immigrants knowing they will need to be kept somewhere.
Republicans voted in a president who doesn't support the constitution , thinks a president is immune to the law, and is a sexual predator who props up other sexual predators. There is no low for these people.
People overlook the rampant "prisoner leasing" occurring nationwide because they're criminals, and even minor crimes in America are enough that the public doesn't care how people are abused in prison & coerced to work with the state taking wages, imposing fees, and threatened with extended sentences for missing work. Alabama got 73% of it's revenue from convict leasing in the 1800s. In past five years, more than 500 businesses have leased incarcerated workers from Alabama, including Best Western, Bama Budweiser, and Burger King. The state has generated more than $250 million from this labor since 2000.
If people are okay with the slavery forced on incarcerated Americans, they certainly won't have any problems ignoring enslavement of non-Americans in prison. Well, not unless wages were even more depressed by companies easy access to plentiful slaves.
This is Trump’s grift. He doesn’t have to offer anything good to get things in return. He just announces terrible plans, and then exempts people from the effects of those plans if they pay up.
