Trump doesn’t seem to know why he launched a giant trade war
-
Market manipulation .... upset the system .. make it dive ... buy cheap ... sell them high
Keep doing this for the next four years until you become king of the world!
-
The same moron who sunk casinos somehow
-
Funny, isn't that the exact amount of the stimulus checks he handed out during his first presidency?
-
That is... less than I'd have guessed.
-
Playing stupid games.
-
Mr Trump actually said "I don't know who would have signed this thing. It's so bad!" about nafta2.
-
...willl cost the typical US household more than $1,200 a year...so far.
-
Stocks have gone up though. I don't understand it
-
It's also because the rest of the people in charge (mainly Republicans) aren't doing anything to stop them. It also has to do with Americans being largely stupid.
Most republicans aren't going to do anything because if they go against Trump ... Trump will skewer them and they'll lose their seat because their voters are stupid too.

Godspeed friend, hope this place will be worthy of you again someday
-
At the time he was extremely proud of it. It was the best deal ever made.
-
Part of the agreement allows for a review next year and his complaints could have been addressed them, but apparently negotiated such a lousy deal he can't wait that long.
-
If you don’t mind, how are you pulling it off? Just trying to get ideas too.
-
They are tanking markets for both the fire sale bargains and to hurt the poor more, so they can direct the resulting anger towards projects like territorial expansion and government privatization.
-
Because Trump is going to buckle on the tariffs. He will come up with some reason they aren't needed, or they're severely reduced, and he pretends he's the hero in the story.
The MAGA will lick his anus and everyone else will be like "Dafuq old man?"
-
Just my opinion as a layman: the tariffs give his corporate backers all the excuse they need to jack up prices even higher.
-
Work transfer through my day job. I will note I'm taking a 50% pay cut for this, but the mental security and new friends will be worth it
-
That, plus it seems very likely that he and friends are just manipulating the market to trade on the predictable moves he's causing. Ya know, the kinda stuff that earned Musk some mild hand slaps and theatrical pearl clutching (in addition to giant financial benefits) in recent years.
-
He had the idea to raise tariffs, and he believes all his ideas are really good, so he followed his own good advice and raised tariffs, dead simple.
-
It's basically how Musk got rich. Intelligent market manipulation.
