Tariffs...what to make of them.
- Thread starter Dave Taylor

JD.com is like a Chinese Amazon
They are buying up 27 billion worth of typically exported goods that are now going nowhere bc of tariffs... They are planning on finding new markets for this stuff....even their own domestic market... Meantime, orange Mussolini can't go 15 minutes without renegotiating trade deals in his own head.... The Chinese also banned the shipment of several rare earth materials we need.... And now we are at the mercy of the bond market... So never mind zelensky not having any cards... Looks like Trump doesn't have many either
Dumbest fucking trade war ever..

With China we will make a deal! Look at those monster 100pt move candles just on the mention from china of making a deal. 
He's bringing back manufacturing....we can build factories that just made Trump trinkets....Like portraits that we all have to hang in our dining rooms, trump watches for everyone....he really should go the Hitler route and have Elon make him his own Trump people's car like the VW bug......of course it would have to be a more opulent version

This will be so much fun for us being we’re in a really heavy Trump Voting Town. Just point to the price tag and say you voted for this, but at least eggs are more expensive and your Au Pair was deported 😂

Also Gibson, the actual US Company they’re ripping off already sells Asian versions for like $500 and they help keep Gibson USA Employees employed.

Not a fan of AI or photoshopped pics. Reality conveys the same message more honestly. But this is reality as we know it now:
Brief recap of top news headlines in just the last month. Each story seeming to have the same shelf life in the media and public, before pivoting into the next one.
1. Musk chainsawing government agencies, with trump smirking on the sidelines.
2. Zelensky media massacre, sending shockwaves around the globe.
3. Mistakenly texting war plans to a journalist.
4. trump tariff seesaw sending entire world markets and economies into freefall. (musk critisizes and is now MIA)
Now 5. News feeds have pivoted to trump ignoring his own Supreme Court, leaving Garcia in El Salvador. And at the same time extorts Harvard to attempt a take over the oldest educational establishment in the US.
No matter what side you're on, this is exausting. I wake up everyday worried what may have happened while I was sleeping. This isn't normal.

Watching CNBC they keep on talking about uncertainty, but they don't realize there is certainty that there is a MORON in the White House that doesn't understand economics. He could be Herbert Hoover who had a trade war and brought on the Great Depression. We are definitely heading for a recession.
tRUMP took over an economy that was heading in the right direction by Sleepy Joe. The only thing different Joe had the right people in place who guided us out of Covid. tRUMP has loyalist who tell him he is doing a great job. Also, the Republicants don't have a spine to take back Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution.

I'm trying to avoid any news media outlets. This is exhausting. Is this really what we facing for next 4 years??

Ouch…that’s what you all think of anyone who didn’t vote how you liked?
I’m a big fan of the tariffs and. This is a part of the correction for decades of psychotic politicians using the US and the world as tools for corruption, disguised by telling desperate and gullible believers the exact things they want to hear.
A lot of folks (about half, I think) drink the political cool-aide and minimal benefits they use to (just) keep the believers on the hook.
And they use hate to rile-up their followers because they eat it up and are looking to be self righteous and hateful

Ur right that not everyone who voted for tRUMP fits in these baskets, but among my friends, the ones who do are far more likely to be fooled by a grifter who has no respect for the laws of my country.
I see people above comparing Dr. Anthony Fauci to the Unabomber and I think that maybe THEY didn't graduate #1 from Cornell Medical School like he did.
I'm not calling you stupid, but the the stupidest people I know voted for tRUMP and continue to excuse every lie he tells and every 91 felonies he was indicted or convicted of beyond a reasonable doubt.
Whataboutism is not logic. It makes me want to ask you what ur letter grade was in Philosophy 101.
Any questions or do you want to go run to the mods?
