🤔 maybe his actions will be highly profitable for Amazon and Walmart because they buy so much that the supply chain interruptions will actually yield them higher profits because for the next month or so, they will be the only places to buy supplies. 🤯
Hurts the American brand? The felon has destroyed our brand at every level leading with diplomacy, economics, and humanitarian rights. I loath that orange blob .
trump, GOP, and MAGAts ended "The American Century"; they'll be no recovery for the US from their unmitigated disaster. Nothing but failure & loss ahead as far as the eye can see, for Americans
Not to mentioned it is still a 30% tax on American consumers, and it would take 3-4 weeks before any goods ordered now would show up at the port plus time to distribute.
Nutlick defended Drumpf’s 145% China tariffs like it was gospel, now that it’s slashed to 30%, he’s probably calling it “strategic flexibility.” Next week he’ll say 10% is “even stronger.” He’s narrating a clearance sale. 😂
Ok!WE ARE mad at China because they take away our FACTORY JOBS!As of 2023–2024 factory workers assembling Apple products at major suppliers like Foxconn in China typically earn between 19and 26yuan per hour (about US$2.76 to US$3.63per hour)Americans who want a factor job Raise your hand!Ah Silence?
MAGA keeps yelling ‘bring factory jobs back,’ but the $2.76–$3.63/hr reality doesn’t add up. Maybe they should do d math, or tour Foxconn. I hear work permits r easier than explaining global supply chains to a red-hat rally crowd who think tariffs r magic.
Oh, there was a reason. It’s called market manipulation and insider trading. How else does the REAL crime family make $2.9 billion in less than five months?
He has no clue what he’s even doing—this corrupt, evil man in the WH is on Alzheimer’s meds and the 💩Republicans should make sure he takes it daily so he will quit doing ridiculous deals like this one!🤬
It's 30% inflation! And they were complaining about 4% inflation under Biden! It's also a national sales tax on every consumer without congressional approval to fund another tax cut for the wealthy.
Just initiating these trade wars have raised prices.TOTALLY UNNECESSARY.These small businesses have been stock piling which will cause shortages and then higher prices.It’s infuriating!
Much less than nothing, actually. Businesses worldwide need to be able to plan for many years out. Trump has created massive uncertainty; if we escape a recession it will be a miracle.
It’s all for ATTENTION. He thinks everyone will now believe he’s the big “deal maker” which is laughable. He’s a loser. He’s an idiot. He’s corrupt. He’s ruining our country with no end in sight.
The problem is, Trump doesn’t care about America’s “brand”, only his own “brand”.This vile megalomaniac doesn’t care about anything but himself. He has shown throughout his history, he will destroy anything or anyone that he thinks gets in his way & that includes our beloved country and our people.
He’s taking a victory lap like he rescued the kid at the bottom of the well
…and the finance bros are all cheering with him and cashing in on the stock market… today
It's because he has no plan. China came into the meeting and told the US we will continue to not back down or ship anything to your country. The US said we will lower the rate to 30% and pause it for 90 days. China said who gives a shit, our position hasn't changed. The US said, great we have a deal
Want to know whether Donald Trump or Xi Jinping will win the trade war? China just signed the world’s largest free-trade agreement with Japan and 14 other Southeast Asian Nations. These 16 nations hold $ Trillions in USA Treasury Bonds. How much of their long-term debt is the USA holding? None.
30% is substantially lower than his threat but is very far from nothing for consumers. I am concerned how we are presenting this is normalizing these (still) high rates and the impact they will have.
It is not a wash... He is STILL imposing a 30 % tariff... He has been running Pump and Dumps with his pals in Congress and at Mar a Lardo since he rigged the election with Musk!
He's a product of PR mentality, where "no publicity is bad publicity." That can work for Alice Cooper but not a president. One conservative historian called JFK a show biz president. He was basically defining Trump, all show and no substance. Plus he's a damn liar.
You’ve been tariff-scammed again
Some cronies made some big $$
Who’d want to invest in the USA with this tariff roller coaster?
Innocent children abandoned at a gas station 😢
A gifted jet but less toys
A king’s bday military parade
He breaks things and blames Biden for it. Then he shittily glues things back together and pats himself on the back for a job well done. Idiots praise him. ICE kidnaps more people.
I agree look at the money people lost in their retirement accounts,look at our standing in the world now the instability, all for him to bully the rest of the world for nothing.
A financial crisis the The Lying King creates,
Now he says China and he are mates,
No orange felon a victory you do not get to claim,
The crisis you created is completely totally yours we do blame!!
After all that, what incentive do any other country have in "making a deal" with this administration vs. simply waiting them out. Methinks it is option B.
Not for nothing - to manipulate the markets. And it's only temporary, and even then it's a devastating 30% tariff. Leaving him room for more fucking around later on.
He hurt the American brand far more than that, without needing the tariff fiasco to do it. We’re a pariah of a country now. Only allowed at the table because of our military, because no one wants to trigger the orange gorilla in the room.
Lost in the noise is tariffs on both ends are higher than before Trump assumed office and we are still going to pay more for everything anyway. And wall street with celebrate.
All his EO have to be Sanctioned by Congress. To my knowledge, they haven't
He has cost, not just those that didn't vote. Those who voted for a Competent woman. And those that voted for trumpie and trumpies political party candidates.

Canadians Led the way.
600+Million People in the EU Canada and Mexico have decided Voluntarily to Avoid/Boycott American Made. Regardless of what the Parliaments in Brussels Ottawa or Mexico City decide to do regarding tariffs imposed by Potus trumpie. For the Duration of MAGA.

What did America expect of this loser.... he has failed at every business endeavour he has handled...this idiot is a total loser....but he is white and that was enough to elect him to the most powerful office in the nation...Own it America you are not blind or stupid....but you are a racist nation.
The problem isnt gone, lowering the tariff doesnt settle the markets. This unhinged dildo who has no right to even fuck with Tariffs, is still able to do so which is the SOLE SOURCE for the Market INSTABILITY. Trump is UNSTABLE, thus the MARKETS are UNSTABLE. FUCK congress, losers.
There will still be a period of empty shelves. The ships aren’t just going to instantly appear at the ports. Many small businesses have already had to close or pay much higher prices for the things they need. Just so this traitor in diapers could throw a temper tantrum.
And the 90 days doesn't give any manufacturer confidence to plan ahead, not least American farmers. They should be the first lot to be marching on Washington.
Any chance the mid terms would give America the change in the house / senate that could lead to impeachment? I really want to see him impeached and then arrested before he pop his clogs.
We don’t even know what will happen in the next 10 minutes. We could be under martial law by the midterms and not even have a vote. Or we could have a vote and it be completely rigged. It’s there is a vote and it’s fair, the democrats should take the majority and be able to impeach.
But he probably didn’t “lose”…at all. His family has reportedly earned $4.9 billion during all the chaos. And his worthless bitcoin is overflowing with “kind gestures”…like that plane.
Because WE THE PEOPLE don't do anything about it. We let all this happen without a fight. Dems literally handed over the keys to fascism and said good luck.
It’s just like the playbook from the oil companies. They take and or create some crisis that jacks up the price of gas to astronomical figures. As they record record profits for a while they gradually bring the price of gas back down, but it settles at about a 20% higher price than it was.
Small US businesses probably already failed, distrust from global trade partners that the US government is unstable and continuing high tariffs on US biggest trade partners. But at least him and his cronies probably made a buck on the stock market so its all good right?
Since the political memory of MAGAs goes back about two weeks, they will feel like this is a tremendous victory for Trump. They will totally forget that Trump caused the problem in the first place.
It will all be for nothing. The art of the deal is to tank our economy and then the worlds. He'll blame Joe Biden. He was handed an economy that WAS the envy of the world. He's destroyed it in 4 months.
And for America's best customer Canada, tariffs continue to hamper trade and have caused a loss of trust that will take decades to heal. Worse yet the rhetoric towards Canadians has created a hatred towards Canadians that may take even longer to heal. Canadian tourists to US are not welcome by some
But Trump still made a good chunk of money off the tariffs in the meantime. The businesses that paid those tariffs paid them straight to Trumps government.

A big win, if your iq is below 90.
Those prices will remain high, watch.
Win/win, (in his tiny transactional mind).
Who’s in 🙋🏽♂️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏻MAGA?
Trump's intention is to establish an authoritarian oligarchy, and to that end he is doing extremely well.
We need to stop underestimating our enemy....now!
So we continue with inflation and farmers still get screwed.
What a buffoon.
How many more days?
30% is still a tripling over Biden-era. This is still incredibly damaging.
…and the finance bros are all cheering with him and cashing in on the stock market… today
Before the escalation of the trade war, average tariffs on US exports to China were 8.0%. (They pay)
Now 10% ( they pay)
The initial U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports were 10% + 20% added for fentanyl =30%( we pay)
Now it’s 10% +20% Fentanyl
30%_ (we pay)

won't solve anything for ordinary blue collar people
wouldn't ever have
didn't ever make any sense.
Until the next round of the Emperor’s new tariffs…
Which reminds me, weren’t we all surrounded by libertarians just a few short months ago??
At least not until our capitalist problem is under control.
Period.
The teachings of Christ are the antithesis of the values & agenda of trump
You can’t follow both, anymore than you can walk East & West at the same time
One cancels the other
Choose wisely
What does Christ expect from us??
The US is now dying a slow death... and as long as Trump and his party are in charge, it will continue to die.
If you alienated your friends, they'll move on without you and leave you isolated.
