Live updates: Trump announces sweeping tariffs
-
Well well well, we finally fell off the cliff, didn't we?
Starting a trade war with the entire world, easy to win, right?
If the entire world reciprocates, which they will, you will literally wish you had just a recession to worry about. I wonder how Trump's approval ratings will be about a month from now
-
Well technically R would fall under the category "rest of the world", no?
-
Absolutely, just like Hitler was the most influential German leader ever
-
, at least like put any effort forth if you're going to steal a joke and make it shittier. -
Russia is missing from the chart:
Overview In January 2025, United States exported $34.9M and imported $196M from Russia, resulting in a negative trade balance of $161M.
-
The goal is to start a fire and to attend the fire sale.
-
Trump doesn't care about approval ratings. He has a "golden parachute" waiting for him and his buddies in Russia after he destroys America.
-
Curious that Russia is missing
-
This is really not true. The wealthy aren't playing 4D chess with the economy, they are just as short-sighted behind closed doors. The Great Depression fucked a lot of wealthy people up and turned the entire nation against them. It can happen again.

I knew I’d get the ol’ switch-a-roo comments. Please enjoy one internet point sir.
-
I see we have a dirty tankie in our midst.
-
Lol, didn't even click the links, I kinda assumed it was Russia-Ukraine and just googled "countries that start with R"
-
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if Russia was it's own case, comrade Krasnov will make sure of it
-
Is he acting salty about the Vietnam war or what?
-
I don't think these are reciprocal. I think these are unilateral, and when countries respond, their tariffs will be reciprocal. The distinction is very important. This is a problem created by Trump, not by other countries. You don't get to choose false language to describe it that shifts the blame.

Own your president Trump.
People need to own up to anonymous no-identity social media addiction. The egomania they get chasing junk (drugs) off of Apple iPhone / iPad / Samsung / machine devices. Donald Trump is entirely an Apple iPhone addict in egomania off machine lust, as too is Elon Musk.
nothing of this could have been possible without a ruined education system and mindless propaganda.
Nothing is more mindless than the education people get off of Lemmy memes, Reddit memes, Bluesky memes, Fox News HDTV, Joe Rogan. That's the education that creates an audience for Donald Trump. Self-centered eoomania, like the Middle East gets with one religion vs. another religion. Fiction addiction problems are raging in USA.
Even if your theory was true
My theory:
“When a population becomes distracted by trivia, when cultural life is redefined as a perpetual round of entertainments, when serious public conversation becomes a form of baby-talk, when, in short, a people become an audience, and their public business a vaudeville act, then a nation finds itself at risk; culture-death is a clear possibility.”
