1. Cuestionamiento de la Lógica: ¿Pueden los Aranceles Detener el Fentanilo?
Muchos posts expresan una profunda incredulidad sobre cómo los aranceles, aplicados a bienes importados legalmente, podrían afectar el tráfico ilegal de fentanilo. Se argumenta que los traficantes no declaran su mercancía en la aduana, lo que hace que la medida sea ilógica e ineficaz.
- How the hell could tariffs possibly reduce the amount of fentanyl that comes in through mexico? that man is an idiot, and he is going to be in charge again.
- Wtf?! we are not importing fentanyl! what the fuck will a tariff do to stop fentanyl?! please, answer the question.
- To even think that tariffs would have anything to do with fentanyl being smuggled in illegally is absurd. It’s not like they say here put a tariff on this it’s fentanyl. It’s insane!
- The idea of "tariffing fentanyl" doesn’t make sense because fentanyl smuggling isn’t a legal import/export issue—it’s an illegal drug trade issue.
2. El Fentanilo como Pretexto para Otras Agendas.
Una opinión recurrente es que el fentanilo es solo una justificación falsa para imponer aranceles con otros fines. Las teorías incluyen financiar recortes de impuestos para los ricos, desestabilizar economías vecinas o simplemente satisfacer un deseo personal de aplicar aranceles.
- Fentanyl is his false justification for the tariffs. He has never made any concrete demands about stopping fentanyl to mexico or canada.
- It has never been about fentanyl. Trump wants tariffs to fund his tax breaks for millionaires. Taking down the economies of the world to do so. Evil in real time.
- He's just using fentanyl as an excuse for tariffs, which are illegal on our trade partners.
- These tariffs have nothing to do with fentanyl or immigration. They are about raising money on the backs of consumers so that he can justify tax cuts for the wealthy.
3. La Responsabilidad Interna: Estadounidenses como Traficantes.
Varios comentarios señalan que la mayoría del fentanilo es introducido en EE. UU. por ciudadanos estadounidenses a través de puertos de entrada legales. Esta perspectiva sugiere que los aranceles a México y Canadá están mal dirigidos y no abordan la raíz del problema.
- His tariffs will never result in less fentanyl coming in because most of it is smuggled into the country at legal ports of entry by americans.
- Americans are smuggling fentanyl. Is he going to put tariffs on made in the u.s.a. Items?
- The overwhelming majority of fentanyl is smuggled through mexico by us citizens at legal points of entry. Tariffs on china will not help at all.
- Since most fentanyl is brought in by american citizens at border crossings maybe he should fixate on that instead of tariffs on our allies.
4. Consecuencias Inesperadas y Sarcasmo.
Las publicaciones también exploran con sarcasmo las posibles consecuencias no deseadas de la política de aranceles. Algunos sugieren que, irónicamente, podría incentivar la producción nacional de fentanilo, creando "nuevos empleos" en un sector ilícito.
- Trump's tariffs will incentivize import substitution for fentanyl. We're going to make opioids in america again.
- I’m sure we’ll all be so much better off when all those new domestic fentanyl jobs spring up!
- Maybe this whole tariff thing is bc he wants to build fentanyl manufacturing plants right here in the good ol' us of a, where they belong. !
- Sounds like he wants americans to buy the fentanyl made in the usa, not outside. I mean, that's the concept behind tariffs, right?
