Can the 34 or whatever “felonies” be dropped? He hasn’t even faced sentencing yet for those has he?

In all likelihood, he will pardon himself from those felonies once back in office.

That said, if Marchan and Bragg insists upon proceeding with the sentencing, it will cause a Constitutional crisis...

Those were state charges and convictions he might not be sentenced to anything major but those won't go away and he cannot pardon himself for those

Shaggy is correct here that they are state charges and he cannot pardon himself. However, the fact that the trial and charges are a mockery of the political and judicial systems, they will likely be thrown out upon appeal.

I’m so tired of hearing he’s a felon from shtlibs. It’s literally the only thing they have left. These charges need to be dropped from where they came from.

I stand corrected, and I agree.

He can pardon himself of the federal charges though.
 
I've watched a lot of rallies and read a lot of Trump's proposed policy.

I heard him say the other day in Michigan that if you buy a car manufactured in the USA, you will not pay taxes/get a tax credit for doing so.

Will it work so easily, I don't know. Just passing it along.

You can reduce the tariff burden by utilizing the inverted tariff structure. Import all of the parts/raw materials into the US, assemble the finished goods within a US FTZ then sell the item domestically with only a single tariff placed on that single good vs tariffs imposed on all goods used. This keeps the COGS down on items vs the ballooning effect of having to pay a tariff on all parts of the whole. Personally I don't think we see a flat tariff without some type of adjustments to taxes to offset income vs outputs or there being some other type of offset.

I wouldn't be shocked if a flat tariff never happens. There are still a lot of unanswered questions around the 10-20% that was said imo that I haven't found the answer to. Is it a +10% on the existing tariff or is it only to 10. In a lot of cases if it's only going to 10% that's not a significant increase since many items have existing tariffs in the 5-8% range. What is going to happen to items like clothing that generally average over 10 do they come back to 10? That would be a big win for non domestic producers. What happens to antidumping tariffs? If they go back to 10 that would likely make non domestic producers cheaper.

The original trump tariffs on China didn't have as huge of an impact since many American producers were already looking at other SE Asian suppliers so they are werent single sourced anyway. In a backward way it probably helped with the covid lockdowns since many businesses had started to source from other countries which meant they were able to still import goods while China was locked down.

I know this is a TLDR post but I think that getting more info on how any tariff would be imposed is what we really need before drawing conclusions
