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.
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.
-
Conveniently left Russia out. I wonder why.
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.

Figured out where these fake tariff rates come from that Trump is claiming. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us.
So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.

I checked and this does seem to fit for Switzerland.
Trade deficit of US to Switzerland: 38.5 B
Exports from Switzerland to US: 63.4 BRatio of the two: 61%
Half of that as "reciprocal" tariff: 31%

The corporations thought they own the government. They bought Trump into the White House. They should have known that he is mad.
Nope they should have realised that even though they "own" this government, the president is communicating with a foreign server they don't own.

The glue eating rageaholic is doing the opposite of this. He's going to tarrif farming EXPORTS from the US.
Never in our history has america had such a stupid president.
Wait, what?

Boycott the USA. Do not consume American products. Do not travel to the US. Cancel your subscriptions, find alternatives or pirate their software and media. Make Americans tourists feel unwelcome.

The owners of the corporations own the govt. They are loyal to no company and no country. They can take their money anywhere, but so long as they are in the us they would prefer that the tax burden be shifted onto the people and off of them, with as few restrictions as possible on their own behavior.
The owners are still quite happy with trump. It's all of the littler con voters who are hopefully now reconsidering their vote.

It will have an effect on other countries, but fuck up the US economy the worst. Other countries have the benefit of having 190+ other countries to do trade with. Over the next few years, they will increasingly go for alternatives to whatever they've previously traded with the US. Thanks to the stable genius, the US will permanently be left poorer, while other countries will soon have economic growth again.

I have to get bigger bootstraps.

Like the EU?

The corporate sponsors are only needed for elections. No elections, no sponsors...

Russia and North Korea.
It's official. We are the baddies now.
If we can't buy anythibg from North Korea, what would be tariffed?
-
As I understand it, that “rest of the world” is actually a base tariff, and the rest of these are ON TOP OF that.
So China is actually 44%, etc

Trump will be remembered as the most influential US President.
