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 corporations thought they own the government. They bought Trump into the White House. They should have known that he is mad.
wrote 6 days ago last edited byThe 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.

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.
wrote 6 days ago last edited byIt 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.

"Death to America" is no longer a call to action; now it's just remarking on current events.

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.

US dollar in absolute freefall. Thursday is going to be a bloodbath when the market opens.
wrote 6 days ago last edited byIt's 8D chess. By crashing the economy and the dollar he can then increase the price of gold and liquidate Ft Knox at the perfect time. Then he can replace the dollar with trumpcoin. Truly a genius and a patriot.
Is /s needed?

Russia and North Korea.
It's official. We are the baddies now.
wrote 6 days ago last edited byIf 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

I think they don't get it either. -

Fuck Cambodia specifically. Trump probably got a bad VD from there at some point.
wrote 6 days ago last edited byThe horrible cruelty regarding Cambodia is that the reason they have such a high trade deficit is that most Cambodians are too poor to be able to begin to afford anything that America has to offer.
It's one of the poorest countries in Asia, they could cut their tariffs to 0% and the net effect would be less than the measurable rounding error on total American exports.

China and Vietnam are producing a lot of the low cost every day items people use. It's going to hit the lower income people the hardest. Thank goodness I'm in Canada.
wrote 6 days ago last edited byShit might hit the fan harder and faster in USA, but don't be fooled: Canada and every other country in the world will be gravely affected: less trade, prices inflate, some goods become hard to find at all at any price, etc. US $ after all is the big reserve currency and all international trade was de facto protected by US military hegemony. Probably countries like North Korea or Iran will see least influence from all this.. It's insane to watch this happening. Their main goal really just seems to be to create chaos. And from chaos... rises whatever authoritarian state they want to create after declaring some state of emergency shit and after the superwealthy gobbled up all the failing companies at bargain prices. It's like they're organising a reenactment of the "shock therapy" that crashed the Russian economy on a speedrun after the soviet union fell apart.

bamboozle them with bullshit

What the current administration is doing tracks with this video fairly accurately. Basically, "Network States" are what they want. It's basically what exists in Honduras right now in the form of "Prospera, which is a network state that operates in that country.

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.
