Trade Wars and Tariffs

[overseasorange2]

I would normally agree with this, because Trump is guided by his ego, but this feels different.

Trump seems to genuinely believe that these tariffs will lead to the restoration of American manufacturing. There are so many variables at work here, it's impossible to know how this will play out.

The fact that Trump knows his name will never be on another ballot, seems to have emboldened him to take some bigger risks that he didn't take during his first term in office. He doesn't care if his approval ratings plummet. Republicans are too scared to publicly oppose him due to his vindictiveness, and his White House inner circle is comprised of nothing but "Yes Men."

I read an interesting article the other day questioning why we are trying to bring back the manufacturing jobs. He stated that today's youngsters have no aspirations to work in a factory environment 8 hours a day. They want high tech, AI, jobs and/or jobs they can work from home. Maybe resurrecting these jobs is like bringing back the Blockbuster stores of the 80/90s or the dinosaurs. Their time has passed. The chances of a recession has gone way up since the tariffs with no end in sight for worsening inflation. Yes the American government will benefit from the increased revenue but will they pass this down to the average American who will suffer from further increases in cost of living? If so, OK. However, a lot of money has been erased in the stock market in the last week, and no the stock market isn't just rich people. There are allot of middle class people hoping to supplement their retirement with it. Try living on a Social Security check!

But that cackle! Plus, she was Indian then Black. Also, they're eating the cats and dogs.



Enjoy your racism, goobers. Hope it was worth it.

This is all a really slick trick by the Democrats. Run the worst possible candidate, disgust voters enough to elect Trump, let him and his mindless minions crap all over anything and everything, and voila! Democrats win the next elections (if they tone down the fringe silliness that is).

Except for the brilliant part.

Are all these sycophantic influencers so hysterical?

 

[headhunter15]

Not the biggest stock or market guy. What do you all think?

Yang, the same candidate that wanted to pay Americans $1000 a month. That’s what I think.

Trump has to go. He's killing the economy. I personally will have to work two more years now to retire. In my early 60s.

Seriously, he has to go.

 

[FLVOL_79]

Should just fall back to a Tudor BB57.

Beautiful on the wrist, cheaper than both the Speedy (which you will only wear on Tuesdays, of course) and the SM.

I don't like Tudors. Tariffs gonna force me to go back to Seiko.

 

[General Jack]

Trump without guardrails, who could have seen this coming?

Maybe less time worrying about Trump on a message will help speed up the process. Just a suggestion if you’re looking to retire earlier.

He has his moments.

where was the left when Clinton caused one of the biggest market selloffs in 2008 with his subprime mtg disaster? hypocrisy
where was the left when the market went down 1000's of points due to biden's incompetence? more hypocrisy

only morons listening to the lies, the doom and gloom of liberal media are stupidly selling their stocks and will take the biggest losses and rightly so. I haven't lost a dime in this selloff and will come out on the other side BETTER than what I went into it.

Trump has the economy in good shape as seen by the numbers and the stock market is not an indication of how well the economy is now doing under Trump. the current drop on the market is an indication of how guillible some investors are.

Trump's 3 main goals are to lower interest rates and oil prices (accomplishing BOTH right now) and bring manufacturing back to the US that will take time. Trump has got interest rates to fall without Powell. 9 trillion of the debt will have to be refinanced this year BUT at lower rates due to Trump thereby saving billions of dollars.....save billions in trade deficits,

100% correct 10 year bond was 4.89 % Jan 20 last I looked around 4.05% today we need to refi 9 Trillion every 50 bps we save 500 billion in interest cost.




billions in tarriffs will soon pour in, higher paying jobs, energy prices will fall and as soon as people see they have been lied to by the tarriff "experts", they will slowly get back into the stock market.

The problem lies with Congress doing the right thing.

the leftists are delusional thinking they know more than Trump.

So are they all hysterical or not?

the woman in the video speaking is a former Dem. if she was 'hysterical' it was over the hypocrisy and ignorance of her former party.

 

[hUTch2002]

I'm guessing you were also whining about $3.99 eggs during Biden but you're now telling people to toughen up when there's an unnecessary $9000 bump for new home construction price.

Is that any different than you glossing over Biden’s issues only to complain now?

Yeah, that's it, sure. Do you think just maybe it's to get the target audience riled up?

 

[hUTch2002]

Utter disaster.

If that was intentionally after the post right before yours it would be funny but you’re a Gator so you aren’t that clever or funny.

My dog knows more about the economy than Trump. Trump has a long history of bankruptcies.

 

[jmacvols1]

I don't know her motives but she was dealing in facts

 

[jmacvols1]

My dog knows more about the economy than Trump. Trump has a long history of bankruptcies.

---Trump cannot bankrupt the country because it's already bankrupt. I think Biden added another 10 trillion to this bankruptcy

--Trump probably has more successes than failure in business ventures else he would have been out of business long ago.

--what Trump is doing is saving and or making the country MORE money, more wealthy...he has companies investing trillions in the US

--Trump is lowering interest rates and energy prices....lowering inflation

---the only problem here is a lying media and if Congress does the right thing on reducing spending.

 

[lawgator1]

$9 trillion had been lost since Trump took office.

Poof.

Gone.

 

[volbound1700]

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

I mean ye probably has shares selling off, we all do. There is an entire industry around it. Most of us just invest in these firms and they do all the work.

Seriously, he has to go.

This is an interesting article.

Seems like a whole lot of moving parts to get it all to work out, but it does give greater insight into some of the strategy at play.

As the article asks, “Will it work?”

I hope so, because that would be good for all of us.
