Guys do you think Trump feels the markets are going in the right direction since everything is hitting a bright red?
He probably thinks if the stock market is in the red it means they are MAGA. 😮‍💨

Who handed Peter Griffin the nuclear codes?

Most human or businessmen will willingly refuse more profits and more money.
Most business people who are honest will gladly pay less taxes. It is natural to want to keep more.
Apple will not willingly bring manufacturing to America to pay $10 per hour when he can pay $0.75 per hour in India and China

What happens to the millions here who need jobs, both educated and uneducated? They should just go and die so that other countries don't get upset?

How can we be in a world where all our manufacturing is done by a country like China, we saw what happened during covid when the American supply chain ground to a halt because we were s dependent on China.
Hypothetical war with China and they just shut off the manufacturing to America. Way to self sabotage your country

civil service jobs are mostly bloated and not efficient, Its just where people go to get free money and retire to fat salaries. They were subjected to 4 weeks of private sector practices ad they are all groaning

How many posts have you authored on homosexuality just today?
Ask yourself why a good percentage of your posts are related to that topic and why homosecuality seems to be at the forefront of your mind every day.

This is serious. I pray it is short term and not lead to extreme recession.

Trump also tariffed our own Military Base.
Olympic levels of stupidity.

Which lie you don't believe 😂😂

Among the more bizarre tariffs were a 10 percent levy against the uninhabited Heard and McDonald Islands, and an identical tariff on British Indian Ocean Territory.

A chunk of British Indian Ocean Territory is the remote Chagos archipelago, embroiled in a long-running dispute between the U.K. government and Mauritius.

The largest Chagos island hosts the joint U.S.-U.K. Diego Garcia naval and air base.
...
But experts say the fresh tariff on British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT) is unlikely to have any meaningful impact, as it boasts no permanent residents, barring the military and associated personnel stationed at Diego Garcia. The British government evicted all Chagossian residents in the 1960s and 1970s to make space for the Diego Garcia base.

"The tariffs will have no practical effects on the British Indian Ocean Territory and Chagos Islands as overseas military bases are exempt from the tariffs," Dr. Eric Golson, an economic warfare specialist and associate professor of economics at the University of Surrey, U.K., told Newsweek.

2018. Chuck Schumer after Trump proposed tariffs on China.

Like many Democrats, he speaks a little differently when he's not on MSNBC or CNN.pic.twitter.com/NKwnp93hJg

😂😂😂😂

IjeBos:
You seem to be getting worse with this English thing.

You see the words "uninhabited", "boasts no permanent residents", "evicted all Chagossian Residents", means the only people there that would be exporting things would be the military base.

Lol.. He said.. but look at the headline.
It's a headline dumbass.
The headline presumes you will read the article to understand what a "territory" is, who basically is responsible for that territory and the tariffs impact or non impacts.
And the article flushes it out.
That you somehow think that an article's headline is the end all and be all of that article proves how much of an idiot you are.

When you accept you're not very bright life will be easier for you.
You may actually take time to read full articles rather than just the headlines.

bemeruca:
The headline did not specify trump tariffed our own Military Base. That's your homo lies 😂

IjeBos:
Lol
I don't have patience for stupid people like you.
FInd someone else who does.

Take this like VAT in the UK, except VAT is wicked

IjeBos:
I believe If it was less than 20% he just made it 10%.
But, i think he already started negotiations with them.

Much as this hurts the global economy , Trump is the first one to take a gigantic step to cut the trade deficit

My initial impressions. It'll be short.
1. Elated about the historic pivot.
2. Execution is irrelevant.
3. A textbook win-win situation is pacing beautifully.
4. Trump succeeds and phenomenal growth is assured. Trump fails; Democrats step on the brakes in 2027 after taking the House. In 2029, they return with their signature tax and spend policy. Either way, asset prices will go to the moon.
5. Sometime back, Candy quoted a post of mine anticipating a crash. Well, Christmas came early.
6. -10% from highs is a rookie number. I hope it sinks to the 20s. And get as close to breaching 30. That's recession territory but this is a go big or go home sitch.
7. High-quality names will be fine. They can take the walloping.

I'll share a more detailed note on the economy mid next month when I find the time.
I'll also answer yours and raumdeuter questions. We're entering a target-rich environment. Opportunities yakpa.

Lastly, the universal natural law is adapt or perish. America is vending trinkets--freedom, rule of law, open markets and trust--that are past their use-by date. The post-cold war world has attained the age of majority. It does not believe in Santa Claus anymore.
A pivot (or at least an attempt) is unavoidable. A pivot is inevitably painful. A pivot will create wealth for savvy capitalists.

I told you guys, the Rapist trump's fate will be worse than Ghadaffi. Nude model Melania must have secured her passage to quick exile when the shit starts. I'm telling you, the Rapist trump will run away from the white house. This chaos is not sustainable.
