    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.

                Those numbers on his poster are made up and don't reflect actual tariffs that exist and can be cut.

                    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.

                    UK is also 10% like the rest of world. Why was it mentioned seperately? It's not like Russia is a small country.

                      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.

                      The crash in 2020 was twice as deep as it should have been. The markets were spooked by a president repeating conspiracy theories instead of reassuring people while health organizations were scrambling and panicking.

                        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.

                        The overabundance doesn't just vanish. When the poor have less, the wealthy have more. There may be more homeless people fighting over food but the billionaires will be able to get a fleet of yachts.

                          BRICS will take over, which will benefit Russia and China. Putin is getting his money's worth out of pimping Trump.

                            Yep, they just took the trade deficit to each country and turned it into a tariff 😆

                              Did you happen to notice the one country not on the list?

                              Here I’ll give you a hint it’s name starts with an “R” and is run by a man who’s name starts with a “P” and is currently at war with a country that starts with a “U”…

                                Most of the kit that is made in US uses parts distributed by other countries... So even domestic sales of US created products are likely to be impacted. Gotta give it to Krasnov, he's doing a bloody good job at the task he's been set.

                                      Imagine people in 2150 praising the visionary and benevolent president Trump who courageously lead our world to the only possible path in order to save the environment:
                                      "He fooled them all with his "drill baby drill" and they fell for it, they elected him. Of course some were suspicious that something was off, but he had a grand plan for nature to finally be restored..."

                                      I would love to read this fiction, because reality is quite sad at the moment.

                                      Trump will be remembered as the spark that caused the old world order to blow up, causing a lot of changes in the way things are done. China becomes the manufacturer of clean energy and uses their new status as having the reserve currency to stamp out all fossil fuels.

                                        Most of the kit that is made in US uses parts distributed by other countries... So even domestic sales of US created products are likely to be impacted. Gotta give it to Krasnov, he's doing a bloody good job at the task he's been set.

                                        Could you imagine if Biden declared what essentially amounts to a 10% sales tax?
