He could have just did the 125% on China and 10% across the board from the start...then we'd have fewer countries at the negotiating table and a market well below where it ended today.

 

Again, if you're freaking out about weekly fluctuations of the market you're doing it wrong.

You're the one that brought up the stock market and this wasn't your average weekly fluctuation.  We had a two day crash the biggest since Covid and had the biggest one day gain going all the way back to 2008.  You're also the one speculating how the market would've done if he didn't go scorched earth on his tariff policy including a country with an island of penguins.

I suspect we had near calamity in the bond market.  He was told.  He finally listened.  And he tried to save face and the US economy by capitulating.  This could have been worse than too big to fail 2008 near disaster (which also added trillions to the debt).

That's the problem. MAGA likes blunt talk, so I'll deliver it here.  It's a group made up in significant part of low-information, and poorly educated voters.  They simply don't understand that tariffs are a tax that, in what what will likely be vast majority part, are paid by Americans and specifically American consumers.

Yup they are sold stories of days past and returning grandeur, not actual policy.  Has everyone forgotten the concepts of a plan, yet?  Nothing they ever propose passes even the slightest scrutiny.

I couldn't agree more.  Why they didn't grease the skids with our allies and partners (Canada, Mexico, EU) and then hammer down on the Chinese is a complete mystery.  No clue what they're doing.

Now we know.  Lol.

if they're paying $1/hour for labor in  China (likely much less), you need a tariff of somewhere near 1000%. for manufactured goods.  This isn't rocket surgery...

[nedboy7]

When President Trump abruptly fired the head of the National Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command on Thursday, it was the latest in a series of moves that have torn away at the country’s cyberdefenses just as they are confronting the most sophisticated and sustained attacks in the nation’s history.

 

Seems like a bad idea while pissing of China to no end.

You have been lamenting swings in the market for the past week. So no, you brought up the market. 

 

What did you do this week with your investments Buy? Sell? Nothing? Are you currently drawing on retirement accounts?

 

I speculate about the markets here , not with my actual investments based on daily news reports.  I'd be better served going to Vegas if I wanted to speculate.

 

Finally the islands with penguins tariff has already been explained. It's to close potential loopholes that countries like China use.

Bro, the only thing cheap enough for me to afford(including eggs) is DJT stock.  Luckily, I bought some when he told me to.  Unfortunately, that 'bargain price' only lasted a day.

he's just following the example of the paid propagandists he so admires

https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/economy/ar-AA1CFsiR

 

Justin Amash, a Republican former congressman, said on X that the about-face showed how some Republicans’ political beliefs had morphed under Trump to a view they once staunchly opposed. Though the GOP platform once called to “stop the socialists,” he said, it now preached: “The conveniences of modern life are overrated. … Your losses are a small sacrifice for the glory of the nation!” 

On Wednesday, after Trump’s pause jolted the markets, Johnson — who had just finished preaching about how losing money builds character — reshaped his message for a new phase of the Trump political cycle. 

“It’s a glorious moment to be an American,” he said on his live broadcast. “So many people just got filthy rich. President Trump, an absolute master.”

 

Renée DiResta, an associate research professor at Georgetown University and author of “Invisible Rulers: The People Who Turn Lies into Reality,” said the shifting stances showed how the influencers strained to protect their brands by bending with the political winds. 

“They have a connection with their audience that is distinctly different from the media of eras past, and that makes them uniquely persuasive and charismatic and able to command attention,” she said in an interview. “At the same time, a lot of their power comes from their proximity and favored status with the president. … It’s very rare for someone with that kind of influence to go hard against the political movement that helped them rise, gain a following, monetize and make a living.” 

The split-screen contradictions of MAGA influencers have not gone unnoticed online, where people like Stephen Findeisen, a financial YouTuber known as Coffeezilla, have criticized them for disingenuously trying to score political points. 

“So when the other side, they lose you money, it’s terrible, people need to speak up now,” he said in a video Monday. “When it’s your guy that you shill for, all of a sudden it’s: ‘Hey, this builds character, have you really even lost money when you’ve lost money?’”

And what have I posted repeatedly prior to that?  Nobody should be getting anxiety/euphoric over short term stock market swings in EITHER direction

 

So I posted it to mock people like you who freak out over hourly stock market swings in EITHER direction.
