Live updates: Trump announces sweeping tariffs
-
this is just going to fuck up the US economy rather than meaningfully affect any other country. you don't fucking produce anything worth a shit anymore.
-
In 2020, I thought Covid might call the economy. You know, history repeats itself. But oh, was I wrong; it'll all be caused by a single fuckwit which deserves to be tortured.
Fuck anyone involved in making the world a worse place. I hope they all die in fucking agony.

Probably got a surprise when he went to grab a ladyboy by the pussy.
-
Own your president Trump. Even if your theory was true, and I won't qualify it, nothing of this could have been possible without a ruined education system and mindless propaganda. All of this starts way before 2013.
-
Conveniently left Russia out. I wonder why.
-
Together, we can make that happen
-
Russia and North Korea.
It's official. We are the baddies now.
-
He is gambling on the fact that Us economy can hold off longer than other countries and they’ll cave
It’s like two people holding their breath bad for both but neither wants to lose
-
I hope Euro takes over
-
US dollar in absolute freefall. Thursday is going to be a bloodbath when the market opens.
-
Lots of good cheap building materials and cloth come from Vietnam. Trump publically thinks that by cutting off these it will bring the rust belt back. Absolute lunacy.
-
this would have worked in 2016, I doubt it would now. the oligarchs who put the administration in power want their pound of flesh, and they will get it regardless of whose name is in the daily headlines.
hundreds of thousands of federal workers have been fired, research and education slashed, unprecedented damage done to institutions and civil rights violations not seen in peacetime on a generation. no, I'm afraid ignoring Trump isn't going to solve anything.
the oligarchs must be stopped. one way or another.
-
The architects of clowndom. Seriously reading this stuff makes me feel like I am losing brain cells at a rapid rate.
-
"The corporations own the government" made sense for a while, but Trump has done enough to hurt said corporations lately that I'm actually starting to question that idea (it's definitely true for the majority of Democrats though).
-
in addition to buy low, sell high... perhaps even more lucrative, the crash will be used as an excuse for another massive corporate bailout benefiting the wealthiest business owners and will accelerate the transfer of wealth from govt (taxpayers/poors) to private interests (oligarchs and bankers). this happened in 2008, during Covid PPP, and it will happen again.
-
wealthy people are not a monolith. some, those with advance warning (insider advantage) will benefit while others lose out. this is not just about rich vs poor, it's also ultra rich vs ultra rich, cabals of powerful elites vying for control of global markets in the chaotic aftermath of global financial restructuring.
-
The corporations thought they own the government. They bought Trump into the White House. They should have known that he is mad.
-
Trump has no idea how the economy works, his wealth is propped up by Russian oligarchs laundering money through his assets.
This move is almost certainly being directed to him through foreign agents the traitor has as advisors (though they consider themselves handlers) on behalf of Putin and other regimes hostile to the US who back door'd their way into the situation through his greed and lack of morality.
-
I think you're reading too much into that.
They're either under "Rest of world" like the EU, or the US doesn't import anything from it, which as it's under sanctions, it shouldn't - nor export to.
