Trade Wars and Tariffs

[SpaceCoastVol]

Too soon to go chicken little.

He went chicken little in November

I lost $100,000 this week and it's looking to be even more after today's over. And for what? A dunbass thinking he can bring manufacturing back to the rust belt? Lol.

Grow a spine. I'm down way more than that.

 

[StarRaider]

(Yup, yup)
You could be a big pig too.

Stop defending the indefensible. He's an idiot and the people around him don't know what they're doing.

I’m not disagreeing with you on that but it’s still way too early to be acting like the sky is falling.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Congratulations to your parents. Everyone's situation is different. My parents are retired and own their homes. That doesn't mean I want others to suffer because they may have made a bad decision. Do you people listen to the **** yall spew?

Yeah the other way of just increasing the debt year after year was working so well.

 

[hog88]

Imagine if he would have put journalists under surveillance?

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

They do produce the most beautiful people on the planet though

That's debatable

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Imagine what will become of us if the US dollar is displaced as the world’s reserve currency…

Worldwide depression.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Maybe we should kill the tariifs, take the $6 trillion in planned tax cuts and cut it in half, and use the other $3 trillion to subsidize factory building here.

Government building the factories? That'll work out well. I'll bet the nail factories will produce one big nail per day easy

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Not if you’re 61 with your birthday coming up in May and you didn’t adjust your portfolio. If you’re under 50 this is a great buying time.

I doubt anyone in this thread is closer to retirement than I am.

I ain't worried.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Seeing progressive hand-wringing about the stock market is hilarious to me. They told me it was just some playground for the 1% that isn't connected to the "real economy" at all, and just because it is doing well (or poorly) doesn't mean that the economy is doing well (or poorly).

Vastly underrated post ^^^^^^^^^

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Anyone not worried at this point is a serious tw@t

Lol. Chickenshit

 

[Majors]

Pat Buchanan to me was the perfect conservative, except the protectionism. I would have gladly taken him as POTUS when he ran.

You got conservative Bill Clinton instead.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Stop defending the indefensible. He's an idiot and the people around him don't know what they're doing.

So different compared to the last administration

 

[C-south]

Lol. At this point? Guess you just conveniently ignored the rampant inflation the past 4 years.

 

[85SugarVol]

Sorry, I misread. Tariffs are for sure taxes. I do find it odd that those who supported Biden’s global corporate tax idea are opposed to this.

But either way, it’s a tax

I’ve been bitching about Trump’s retarded reindeer games wrt Tariffs for 8 years now…

But I just couldn’t resist lol

 

[Dergibvol]

Gimme a fkn break. I know plenty of people who don't have cable/streaming because $70/month is too much. An extra $10k = $65/month over 30 years. There are people that think that money matters believe it or not.

You continue to miss the point. Using the increase in new home prices isn't a good use or a win for the left. Those who are building new homes will find the extra 10k whether it be thru financing or cash in the bank (likely the latter). Tariffs are stupid and nothing but a tax and I don't see manufacturing returning to the US in drives. With that said, I'm not the least bit worried about those who need to spend an extra 10k on a new home.

 

[85SugarVol]

If only the right had been this vocal about tariffs for the last 8 years.

Ooof… when Ben Shapiro is taking them to task lol

 

[85SugarVol]

That’s rich coming from him. Imagine the reaction if the Trump administration did some of the same things that happened during the Obama administration. I guess Barack forgot what happened to journalists under his watch. Hacking the Associated Press, bugging Sharyl Attkisson’s computer, labeling James Rosen an unindicted co-conspirator just for doing his job, and issuing subpoenas to countless other reporters to force them to reveal their sources and testify in criminal cases. His administration prosecuted nine cases involving whistleblowers and leakers, compared to just three by all other previous administrations combined.

Trump deported an Illegal Alien to El Salvador, and the Left is melting over it.

Obama ordered the assassination of a US Citizen, and they still defend it.

Can you imagine the press if Trump ordered the extrajudicial execution of a US Citizen in Ukraine? Whoa, Nellie.

I ain't worried.

Well I turned 70 in January and not ready to hand the business over to Sonny just yet. But more than 80% of the products we sell are manufactured in the EU, so we are facing some headwinds. Fortunately our financial position and market positioning is pretty solid, so I ain’t skeered.

 

[CagleMtnVol]

Instead he spied on their reporters.

 

[MontyPython]

So you think that Donald Trump is who’s selling all of those shares? Or are you just kind of slow with comprehension?

Donald caused the market to crash.

Not globalists. Not China. Not weak hands. Not ass monkeys.

And of course there were just as many buyers as sellers.

F that. Trumps a moron, plain and simple. This is how the Republican party loses votes. Mess with peoples money. They are going to get decimated in the midterms.

 

[FLVOL_79]

Sorry brother.

Trump is a disaster. Hang tough.

I'll be fine. Ain't the first time I've had a six figure loss..but it is the first time its happened in 2 days lol.

This is 100% on Trump. The same way the post housing market crash sluggish recovery was on Obama and his obamacare policies. Except this time Trumps decisions are even more dumb.
