Live updates: Trump announces sweeping tariffs

[ragepaw@lemmy.ca]

Stop calling them reciprocal.

[maplebar@lemmy.world]

Why the fuck is our media so bad that they blindly accept Trump's bullshit line that the tariffs are "reciprocal"? Are they just stupid or have they been paid off? Do they not know the meaning of "reciprocal" or are they just too fucking lazy to question the White House's rhetoric even a little bit?

The state of the United States makes me sick. We're being robbed blind buy the oligarchy in broad daylight while the media gleefully amplifies the administrations lies.

That, or he might actually like Mark Carney. The entire tone seemed to change after they spoke.

Talk about no brains.

Everyone should be boycotting the US, especially those inside of the US.

[tabarnaski@sh.itjust.works]

Never underestimate the destruction that stupid people in position of power can do.

Tarrifs are a Trump Tax on ordinary Americans so they can give tax breaks to billionaires.

[kinggordon@lemmy.world]

Like he would even know what that is.

[buffalox@lemmy.world]

“our country has been looted, pillaged, raped, plundered”

by other nations selling their goods to us cheaply, and by them accepting our Dollars that cost us nothing to make for it!!

I don't think Trump understands the benefits and privileges for USA of having the top international reserve currency.
But maybe if he ruins it quick enough, he may find out?

Play stupid games and win stupid prices.

I wonder how fast and much daily fashion will change. Like, no more knitted or crocheted items, or their resale value will go way up.

[renohren@lemmy.today]

Luxury goods are not really hit by tariffs nor taxes the same way more basic goods might be. A $ 4000 that goes to $ 4 500 is way more manageable for the kind of people who want to and can buy it (it may even make it more desirable for those who want and can't buy it).

[captainpedantic@lemmy.world]

He doesn't understand anything. Here's what he said about income taxes and tariffs today.

They established the income tax so that citizens, rather than foreign countries, would start paying the money necessary to run our government

[zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

For people inside the US doesnt paying for the tarriffs just means more money going into this administration? Better to only purchase things if you absolutely have to

[doorbook@lemmy.world]

Does that mean oil is also 10% up?

[renohren@lemmy.today]

They are already building one in Dresden, others are planned to follow. The CHIPS act is at last having an effect.

You can't get close to orange fuck for anything like that. You gotta hope for a natural luigi to show up and say "time's up bitch"

[transplantedsconie@lemm.ee]

Only ones "looting, raping, and pillaging our country" are billionaires.
