Trump ❤️ Tariffs
Trump_is_Mentally_fit replied to The Frankish Reich's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Yup, some of the parts cross back and forth acorss the border several times, just chaos https://www.mediaite.com/news/costs-and-chaos-ford-ceo-warns-trump-tariffs-will-blow-a-hole-in-auto-industry/ Ford CEO Jim Farley warned that President Donald Trump’s tariff threats will “blow a hole” in the auto industry and manufacturers faced a spike in “costs” and “chaos.” Speaking at a Wolfe Research conference on Tuesday, according to Axios, Farley warned that Trump’s tariff-heavy trade tactics, whether targeting neighbors like Canada and Mexico or raw materials like steel and aluminum, are poised to wreak havoc on his industry. -
https://www.newsweek.com/gas-prices-soaring-trump-2029770 Gas prices are once again inching up across the country, delivering a fresh blow to American drivers already shouldering higher price tags for new and used cars, rising maintenance and repair costs, and skyrocketing insurance premiums. Climbing oil prices are partially driving this increase, as recent sanctions imposed by President Donald Trump raised concerns over Russian and Iranian supplies and uncertainty continues in the Middle East as the fragile Israel-Hamas ceasefire starts showing signs of collapsing. The unexpected boost in inflation could dampen some of the business enthusiasm that arose after Trump’s election on promises to reduce regulation and cut taxes. Dow futures tumbled 400 points and all major markets are likely to sell off at the opening bell. Bond yields rose, a sign traders expect inflation and interest rates to remain high.

He's making things worse https://www.cnbc.com/2025/02/12/cpi-january-2025.html. Inflation perked up more than anticipated in January, providing further incentive for the Federal Reserve to hold the line on interest rates. The consumer price index, a broad measure of costs in goods and services across the U.S. economy, accelerated a seasonally adjusted 0.5% for the month, putting the annual inflation rate at 3%, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Wednesday. They were higher than the respective Dow Jones estimates for 0.3% and 2.9%. The annual rate was 0.1 percentage point higher than December. Excluding volatile food and energy prices, CPI rose 0.4% on the month, putting the 12-month inflation rate at 3.3%. That compared to respective estimates for 0.3% and 3.1%. The annual core rate also was up 0.1 percentage point from December.

Just stupid https://archive.is/tEMBM#selection-2459.0-2459.175 Traders in the US are paying much higher prices for copper, aluminium and steel than their European counterparts as they rush to buy the metals ahead of President Donald Trump’s tariffs. The high US premiums reflect a “distorted” market, said Tom Price, an analyst at Panmure Liberum, reflecting fears about a “starvation of supply” rather than the more usual reason of increased demand. Higher US premiums are a reflection of “the expectation that prices will be higher in future as a result of tariffs”, said Daria Efanova, head of research at Sucden Financial. “Markets are pricing that before it actually hits.” “The uncertainty creates a skittishness,” said Al Munro, an analyst at Marex. “It creates a lack of investment. You just sit there and you don’t do anything.” The potential tariffs on steel and aluminium are likely to have a particularly big impact on Canadian aluminium smelters, which supply about 44 per cent of US aluminium needs.

This is Trump's America, poorer, fewer options for consumers, heavier taxes, higher prices and shortages. How about backing the CDC so they can find ways to stop the bird fu from wiping out the chickens? https://www.ibtimes.com/costco-trader-joes-impose-limit-egg-purchases-avian-flu-hits-supply-3763221 An egg shortage triggered by avian flu has prompted several grocery stores, including Costco, and Trader Joe's, to limit purchases. Trader Joe's, with about 600 stores across the U.S., has a one-dozen eggs per day limit. "We hope these limits will help to ensure that as many of our customers who need eggs are able to purchase them when they visit Trader Joe's," a Trader Joe's representative said Monday, CNN reported.

His supporters would still support him, even if he dumped sh it over their heads Steve Bannon, the confidant of President Donald Trump, pleaded guilty Tuesday to defrauding New Yorkers who donated to "We Build the Wall," an online fundraiser for Trump's signature project during his first term, in exchange for a sentence without prison time. "The parties have worked out a plea agreement. Mr. Bannon will plead guilty to count 5 of the indictment, which is scheme to defraud in the indictment. He will receive a conditional discharge," prosecutor Jeffrey Levinson said. The guilty plea to the felony charge represents Bannon's second criminal conviction after he served prison time for contempt of Congress. -
He was so drunk he probably didn't notice them https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/hegseth-protest-dei-transgender-germany-military-rcna191636 Military families protesting the Defense Department's anti-DEI push heckled Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on his arrival at United States European Command headquarters in Germany on Tuesday. On a visit to the U.S. military’s key European military hub in Stuttgart, Hegseth was booed by around two dozen people who live at the base in an apparent demonstration against the policies currently being implemented by the Trump administration. The demonstrators at the short protest repeatedly chanted “DEI,” apparently in a reference to the recent ban Hegseth has placed on some books in defense department schools. Hegseth last week ordered the restriction of learning materials covering subjects that included psychology and immigration in DOD schools.

Feb 11 (Reuters) - Gold prices hit a record high on Tuesday, spurred by safe-haven demand as U.S. President Donald Trump's new tariffs on steel and aluminium imports heightened concerns about a possible global trade war. Spot gold hit a peak of $2,942.70 per ounce in Asian trading hours before easing to stand 0.1% lower at $2,904.59 as of 1118 GMT. Bullion's eighth record high of 2025 has brought the glittering $3,000 milestone into view as investors navigate growing uncertainties over the repercussions of U.S. trade policies.
