What makes you think this is okay.
Americans are acting like abused women who are happy that the slap they are getting was only a light one.
Still 10 percent tariffs that you will have to pay.
You allow your leader to insult and abuse the rest of the world with shake downs.
Idiots all
Oh, c'mon, Adam, he's a brilliant strategist. It only looks like he backed off the original tariffs because the Chinese told him to go pound sand. And the 90 days condition is so that he can once again threaten tariffs, crash the stock market and have all of his friends profit from insider trading.
My daughter has been doing quite well - she’s home on FMLA so lots of time to do research. She’s talked about donating some of the proceeds to Dem causes.
Deliberate and Sickening roller coaster ride for our 401k's. Felon 4547's market manipulation is illegal and yet another example of his deteriorating mental state. #TrumpIsUnfit
"We are firing hundreds of thousands of federal workers, but it's ok. They'll get imaginary high-paying jobs working in imaginary factories we aren't building as our current manufacturers are shutting down. And your family will work in these nonexistent factories for generations!"
The Republicans are determined to see the US turned into their dream/nightmare empire even if it costs all of them their positions, their careers and their families.
Step 1) apply HUGE tarrifs
Step 2) watch markets fall
Step 3) buy the dip (cause you already rich)
Step 4) play diplomacy game and “pause tariffs”
Step 5) sell the rise, take money and…
Step 6) buy shorts on select stocks
Step 7) increase rhetoric on “unfair trading partners”
Step 8) see step 1
Remember, it's only a 90-day pause, & it will probably take 90 days to get the supply chains more or less up & running again. And they keep talking about the high tariff on fentanyl components. How the heck do you tariff something that comes over the border ILLEGALLY? Stock Market Manipulation.
Agreed. But, in a country with $339M people, there will never be NO demand of anything. So, if you eliminate the supply, the addicts will only switch to another drug.
true but the fear mongering is with fentanyl so key is to address addiction behaviors and mental health but that won’t happen bcuz they all have a vested interest to make $$ and use it to be the boogeyman topic to monger the fear.
That takes courage to say and I’m proud of you.
People need real help not one off solutions. The WH cutting programs that used to supply Narcan to EMTs, hospitals, schools and LEOs will only add to the death toll. They cry about the fentanyl crisis & deaths but do the opposite of helping.
So mental health care is the solution which GQP has refused to address. Reagan started to close down mental health care hospitals and they have been on course. Failure to address population with mental illness is a failure of our society.
Totally agree. A LOT of the mess really ramped up during Reagan years. Most p are too proud to get help for many reasons but they need safe places to address issues. We can’t solve all issues w/1 solution. It’s complicated but not impossible. Drugs & guns are the GQP (gotcha) tools to maintain fear.
Exactly!!! it is not a one and done solution. Very few ppl in power take the time to really address root causes & address them. Long term it would cost less to help ppl. It is a multi-pronged approach. Education but we know GOP want uneducated population bcuz that means easy to manipulate.
Don’t be ridiculous. You will never eliminate demand for drugs. There has never been a time in all of human history when people did not choose to alter their consciousness. If you want people safe, legalize & regulate all drugs. Provide free, evidence-based treatment for those who do seek treatment.
never said it would eliminate it 100%. that is stupid to think but being honest & addressing root causes is a start & again it is a multi-pronged solution. the less demand then those selling will find something else & cuts into $$ of those selling.
criminals will always find the next thing ppl want
All the war on drugs does is increase drug ignorance, encourage market adulteration and exploitation, and put marginalized groups at risk for all sorts of abuse & oppression.
so basically you confirm it is multi-pronged solution. again the point to also address mental health, financial disparities, job skills, wage disparity too ans etc. also help address causes.
Precisely.
Raise tariffs, accomplish nothing but turmoil, then pause and lower tariffs to basically the same status as before and now try to claim it as a "win".
The entire world see us as truly idiots, but us!
There is too much corruption and incompetence to even discuss on this site. The Orange Dictator has dumped a mountain of actions & facts that support an impeachment of Trump & his administration. He should be in jail already!
The monumental load of BS (lies) and open corruption of the Trump government is disgusting. If the Opposition doesn’t stand up and shout the truth out then we’ll all be accepting an ignorant dictatorship. WTF where is everybody!
I am a tax economist PLUS I have the Internet! This stuff is good for only two things, textbooks and the classroom. But the faithful will praise and pray.
Doubtful. It's over.
That "90 days" declaration is just a cop-out of not having to say that it's over.
Fact is, in 4 weeks nobody will want to talk about the previous madness of 145% tariffs again. Especially when the slump from this now past exercise is hitting the stores.
And of course they will spin this as a huge win and make us look like the assholes and say that we’re rooting for the destruction of the American economy. The mindfucking that is happening here from this administration just astounds me.
Let them say what they want..China still wins the trade war!!! 30% gets the cargo ships sailing again. 🤭🤭 #DonnieNoDeals intimidation tactics lose again!! Get that bully something to kneel on! 😉
And they’ll be in and docked with cargo off before the 90 days and we go through another tariff debate because trump is too stupid to keep quiet and let it go away. Dam narcissist
I'm happy they recinded 115% for 90 days, but the optics &subseqyent praise for djt for setting two economic pyres alight, without a plan, commitment from Xi nor proper communication, is not something to be lauded, ever. He played w/people's livelihoods, & considering the delay to ramp up, still is.
Watching Donald sniffle his way thru his press conference while reading his script all I can think of is #LAL (lie after lie). If it weren’t so pathetic and disturbing I would #LOL.
The tariffs now in place are still awfully high and the MN (malignant narcissist) still does not understand that we Americans pay for the tariffs he imposes, and he still does not understand that trade deficits do not indicate that the US is being ripped off. MN is still a sadistic ignoramus.
I expect a sell-off by Wednesday and then a Truth Social post from Trump saying the deal is off with China by Thursday.
I wish I was in Pete's Signal chats. I like to breaking law too.
And they think it's a beautiful thing, because this sort of fuckery is what US "business" has been degrading into for decades. Not production, but number and image play.
Americans are not willing to pay the price. They’re scared, lazy, weak, think they are privileged. This is gonna go where it’s going to go. Full blown authoritarian fascism.
I understand you. But, don't forget that not all Americans voted for Trump. Only 70 million lost, confused and misguided Americans voted for the Orange monster.
Many Americans are good, smart, hardworking people. They are even more discussed when they look at the news, than you or me. #FreeTheUSA
I think we’ll see that in the next quarter or two (Q3 and Q4) as low profits as well into next year when durable equipment purchases and overall consumer purchases down in higher $$$ categories since everyone is panic buying big purchases
As long as it's not my nearby Mammoth Cave.
Oh wait, that might be perfect for demonstrating how "mammoth" tRump's caving to China is. I will accept a temporary renaming. :)
It’s funny how he’ll tell his base he won because 30% is greater than 10%, but China already did the math and believe they will come out ahead. Especially if we increase our demand for Chinese made products.
Before this all started the consumers were paying a 10% tariff on Chinese goods. Now after this debacle the US consumer is paying 30%? And China only has to pay 10%?
We were at 10% under Biden. Things were fine. Then Trump jumps them up to 145%. Market turmoil, retirement accounts plummet, businesses suffer. Then Trump drops them down to 30%. What did we gain? Where is the big win he touted? We LOST 20% and gained nothing.
I just read 1984. MAGAs do some amazing doublethink.
We never had high tariffs on China. We are friends with China.
Bad part, how many deals did China already make with countries to avoid the high US import tariffs in China. Lost business.
Yep he capitulated. And in true fashion he’s still leaving a cloud of uncertainty over everything. Even before 90 days are up Navarro could convince him to raise the tariffs back where they were. And 30 percent is still very high for importers.

The EU is doing very well since that orange nutcase started tariff wars.
I am very sorry for all Americans that export their products and services to the Netherlands. I am no longer buying anything made in the US, many people do the same.
GET THE ORANGE TERROR CLOWN OUT OF THE WHITE NUTHOUSE!
In de jaren 90 woonde ik voor een tijdje in Nederland;
Toen ik daar was, kwam ik een neef tegen, die laat me weten dat mijn overgrootoom werkte toen om de Nazis te vermijden en Nederland. Hij was en kunstenaar, die zorgde om mep-papieren te maken, voor de Nederlandse weerstand in Bergen op Zoom
I know my Dr would agree that my lifespan is shortening bc of this regime. For every day in ofc it's like 3-4 days less that I have to live. The stress, no sleep, constantly being upset, and my extreme anxiety makes me feel like suing his ass
So the winner of this specific trade war between the US and China is China, what a surprise. Wanna bet the cult are going to trumpet this as a win.
If China accepts, this would only be on to allow the cult to save face, somewhat.
Bingo! Seems to me we're right back where we started in January. But now...absolutely no country trusts us, and they're all busy behind the scenes figuring out how to live without us.
I'm not celebrating anything until we have DUE PROCESS FOR ALL, and no threats of removing it. Until a mayor responsible for the welfare of persons incarcerated in his city isn't detained overnight, and Congress members shoved around, for trying to determine conditions. Until no citizen children..
are deported to foreign countries. Until ICE agents NEVER lie to those they're contacting. Until an honest Congress in which every member lives up to their oath of office and defends the Constitution and with it the rights of the American people. If lower tariffs restore trade, that's good.
But by no means good enough until the rabid right is no longer ripping away at the Constitution. Until its clear, as it was in my childhood, that criticizing the government & its agents is fully protected speech/writing and not a crime. Until our highest court remembers its own oath,
and the words in the Constitution for its term of office: Not "for life" but "during good behavior"....and taking bribes and lying under oath to Congress are NOT, by any measure, good behavior. Justices resistance to an ethics code with teeth is evidence of their tolerance of bad behavior. IMO.
Psh, we all know if he wasn’t full on fascist you’d be right there with him on everything. This is all just what the GOP has wanted to do for decades, you know the party you aligned with until someone came and fulfilled their wish list. If it wasn’t Trump, I suspect you’d be cheering this on.
Trumps Taxes, let's call them what they are. Taxes paid by we the people, imposed by the lying felon President who admitted he stole the election with help from Musk. No one to stop them....
Ever wonder why everyone is so afraid of China out doing us? We are so far behind them it is mind blowing. Just take a look at some of the video's of China's newest subway system in Shenzhen.
The talk is going on in the EU about that you know that Trump is sitting up to his neck in deep shit because he doesn't know what he's doing, and that you should let him roast In his own fat, and whether you should also give him a spanking- after all, he has also put his ass in a good position…
It must be a new negotiating tactic to negotiate with oneself. That great "Art of the Deal" negotiator went from 145% tariffs on Chinese goods to 80% tariffs - prior to sitting at the table with China. Negotiating with oneself--the new Trump style of negotiation. 🤡
Tariff war created by USA, the world retaliates, made up negotiations, USA reductions (of what we unilaterally started), claim "we win" (against ourselves). Republicans, are you worried now?
30% tariffs only seems compared to the ludicrous levels that Trump imposed when he was trying to measure his dick against Xi.
Notice Trump reduced the tariff for ninety days without admitting that he's the LOSER of the tariff war.
30% tariff (and by the way, I can’t keep track of the idiocy that Trump is still doing) is still 30% more tax than a president is allowed to apply under any conditions; short of our Congress passing a bill and they didn’t pass a bill. So a 30% tax is still illegal. I’m restricting what I buy.
Felon Krasnov created this mess that never should have happened. Now he expects to be praised for bringing China to its knees and saving the economy he screwed over. Hell no.... fuck felon Krasnov and his gop magat goons
From what I hear it’s temporary pending “negotiations”. Enough time for the cockroaches to lock in profits & line up the next short. From his presser he clearly learned a new word relative to 145% tariff, decouple. You’ll see virtually no increase in manufacturing, just higher prices & blather.
I’m certainly celebrating! If first felon can manage 2 kp his inane, chaotic policies out of the economy/market for 2 months, I mt b back 2 where I was under Biden. 👍
I was review congress stock purch last night. MTG md abt 15 purch that I saw since abt May 6. certainly looks like insider trading.
Sec.of transportation, Duffy wants to talk about air traffic issues. Will he say anything about all the traffic controllers fire by “Doge” and Trump?… I think he will find the way to blame the past administration and take NO accountability from his party!
Not one active air traffic controller has been fired.
In fact no one with a critical job involving safety has been fired. Look it up! Joe Biden slacked and ignored the problems in the Aviation Industry.
Trump went back to the same house he set on fire 5 years ago and started another fire. So should we be celebrating the arsonist decided to only burn a portion of the house ? But arsonist still has the torch and will be visiting that same house in 90 days. Brilliant.

Start, stop, start, stop, start stop...
Canada and Mexico still have 25% tariffs and that is more than half our trade!
We have to fight back like it's 1789 they are telling us "let them eat cake"

He’s an idiot but he still knew to sell his stocks day before he announced the tariffs …..

He is the literal worst !

Yup!
Want a solution to the fentanyl problem? Address the drug addiction problem & income disparity issues.
NO DEMAND = NO SUPPLY = NO ONE MAKING $$$
People need real help not one off solutions. The WH cutting programs that used to supply Narcan to EMTs, hospitals, schools and LEOs will only add to the death toll. They cry about the fentanyl crisis & deaths but do the opposite of helping.
Illegal fentanyl isn't being tariffed!

10% tariffs on US imports to China are HUGE tariffs
celebrating this trump BS is moving The Overton Window.
Don't be a damn fool
Then pat himself on the back .
And still, he has no friends and will die alone .
There are WAY more normal citizens than any of these fascists.
America needs to grow a pair and start supporting, planning, and creating infrastructure for the #GeneralStrikeUS movement.

Maar, als ik weet dat het Trump aanhangers zijn, dan negeer ik ze helemaal, zoals mijn grootouders de NSB'ers en Nazi's probeerden te vermijden.
Wie op die gek heeft gestemd, wie hem steunt, is naar mijn mening niet welkom in Nederland.
Toen ik daar was, kwam ik een neef tegen, die laat me weten dat mijn overgrootoom werkte toen om de Nazis te vermijden en Nederland. Hij was en kunstenaar, die zorgde om mep-papieren te maken, voor de Nederlandse weerstand in Bergen op Zoom
Trump feeds entertaining lies
from his White House “Reality Show”,
to his voter cult Base, that wants to
burn down the federal government.
Trump is a circus barker con-man.
Donald Trump is the great Oz
speaking from the mouths of his
Fox News appointees Administration
“Reality Show”

The markets are going back to 11/8/24 & 1/19/25 numbers when MAGA said it was was the worst markets and worst economy ever.
If China accepts, this would only be on to allow the cult to save face, somewhat.
No one knows if he is in or out.
Three months ago it was 10%.
30% is outrageous, but we focus on his nasty sausage-making style of negotiating and say, "Whew! 30% is way better than 329%!!"
Lucky us!
Plump Tariff Capitulation celebrating
Also, happy Market Manipulation Monday.
The Us is shooting itself in the head.
