Trade Wars and Tariffs

[evillawyer]

LMAO. Trump blinked. Less than 48 hours after he said he wouldn’t.

I'm glad he blinked. In fact, I hope he goes blind (metaphorically). Congress needs to yank this tariff power back with a veto-proof majority ASAP.

Hearing that what forced Trump's hand on the pause was really the bond market.

Such a weird way of phrasing this. This either means:

A. Your source is too laughable to name. “My best friend’s barber, his sister lives in DC and she told me…”
Or
B. You made it up

 

[utvolpj]

Declaring victory because you're the only one willing to wreck the world economy is classic Trump. It's about time to stop electing senile old men

Scott Bessent and I sat with the President while he wrote one of the most extraordinary Truth posts of his Presidency. The world is ready to work with President Trump to fix global trade, and China has chosen the opposite direction.

I actually wonder if Thune and Johnson have had some very unsupportive discussions with the Orange one on referencing exactly that.

Love, please don't embarrass yourself.

I read a few days ago there is a very large tranche of US debt coming up for refinancing in the next 90 days. So it isn’t completely out on the list of possibilities but I’d like to see some sourcing.

LMAO

It must be exhausting to have to change your opinion as soon as the policy changes.

Senile and egomaniac are two separate categories. Biden was senile. Trump is an egomaniac. Not the same.

 

[evillawyer]

LMAO

Exactly. Wash and repeat. The "he's a genius" goobers fall for it every time.

 

[Vol8188]

Love, please don't embarrass yourself.

So your source is someone who seems very much to be guessing? And in no way is claiming any knowledge of why Trump paused this?

Yeah, this is a laughable source.

glad I bought a few hundred shares on the dip. Those who were selling are buying back in.....they used the 'sell low buy high" strategy.

You believe we needed to nearly collapse the global economy to prove China is a “bad actor”?

Did you not know that before this week?

This should’ve been the day one plan. The way this all went down was horrific.

But the way it did go down got the attention of everybody. The results of doing it slowly and quietly is probably probably just ends with more of the same kicking the can down the road.

It’s also keeping Trump busy. Wait until his attention gets redirected to Medicare and Social Security.

Eh I’m willing to apply both labels to Puddinhead. No I don’t think Trump is senile.

Better than the cackling lady and the cankles lady.

Better than the cackling lady and the cankles lady.

Parsing degrees of ****** governance and policy making still results in ****** governance and policies.

Trump's not senile but that megalomania really affects his judgement.

Up +2500 and liberals are spinning it negatively from where they were on Monday.

How about where we all were Monday March 31st?

 

[bamawriter]

For the second time in as many days we get a preview of what will happen when Trump wins.

Horses.... Something something.... Water....

Trump did what he swore he would not do by backing down without any new trade deals. If this is winning, what does losing look like?

 

[lawgator1]

Pause announced

I'm not going to even make fun of him for "blinking first," or the like. Just glad he has realized the way this was done was a mistake and he's going to correct course.

Sent a message that they’re either with us or against us. Can’t fight China one on one and too many trading partners would want to stay neutral.
