Hey George be in Washington DC on April 19th for protests. People need to walk the talk and join fellow Americans.

This article is rather undermined by the fact that Trump said any country that "didn't retaliate" would see their rates go down, except Canada, Mexico AND the EU have retaliated, so it isn't just China.
Notice there's been no slur of 𝘎𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘰𝘳 Carney or Canada becoming the 51st state lately... or a trade tariff change (or even 𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 of one)?
The orange demagogue may think more pressure will help Carney win (He's 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 to win, it's just a matter of by how much).
Regardless, Canadians 𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯'𝘵 fooled!
Refresh my recollection are avocados & tequila under the 2017 dt negotiated trade agreement or the new dt declaration?
Buy back to school clothes for 9/2025 from Vietnam because dt has declared war against them now that he is old & in WH safe from the draft he avoided in the 60s. Dt = tariff hawk
Reading this paper right now. Digestible explainer by someone sympathetic to Trump, but certainly suggesting that the approach he has taken carries very high risks.
It certainly does. Australia had a treaty that was zero tariffs. An objection could be that we don’t allow American beef into Australia. That’s because of the risk of CJD but I believe the CSIRO were investigating to see if it’s still the case. Even if cleared there will be concerns about hormones
The real mix is what will ship and what will not ship.
China is effectively closed. The price increases will come from scarcity and a reduction in overall purchasing power as unemployment goes up in multiple sectors.
The rest of world will ship into 10% tariffs and that will get passed on.
And as we learned in Covid … once China sells off the excess inventory and that supply capacity gets diverted, even if the issues came to some miracle resolution 6 months from now, we’re out to Fall of 2026 for supply chains to catch up.
Consider, 19% of US citizens are Asian (descendants). Many will pay Trump’s taxes on daily groceries. China produces 25% of mobile phones. Export restrictions on rare elements (car batteries). 350 million packages p/day. Guess the biggest destination? US export $144B +125% now cost $326B thus gone!
A large increase in tariff rate on a country you trade a lot with outweighs large symbolic/tactical reductions for countries you barely trade at all with.
This is complicated by substitutability of what you trade but to a 1st order fine
Don’t stand in fear. Get loud, show up and every day call your reps and
Mike Johnson (202) 225-2777
John Thune (202) 224-2321
Chuck Schumer (202) 224-6542
Hakeem Jefferies (202) 225-5936
Call for impeachment or treason charges. Use 5calls.org if you need help.
In my life, lawyers have long been the butt of jokes and looked at with suspicion. This is the Age of Lawyers! They appear to be the only protection against tyranny other than open rebellion of the masses. Pro bono work to defend those targeted by Trump will be worth a golden future!

“Made in America” is essentially trading cheap prices and dock worker jobs, etc. for factory jobs.
How exactly is that winning?
We are an 80% service industry with the 2nd highest GDP(PPP).
We’re buyers. We’re supposed to have trade deficits.
Regardless of what corporate media says, the trump/GOP cabal's trade war continues!

With no regard to consequences as long as Trump's the Headline.
Interesting honest conversation:

STOP CALLING IT A REVERSAL WHEN IT'S A PARTIAL PAUSE
Words have meanings. Journalists more than anyone should know this and act accordingly.
This again means that the interest goes up, the stock marked go down and US is closing in on devaluation of the dollar and possible bankruptcy.
And non want USD Currency.
So much for "Make America Great Again"
Imagine someone lending you a hand to get out of this.
Xi of China just offered the European Union to work together against the US
Never thought this would happen.

I imagine many countries will use the “tariff pause” to make other trade plans.
Why are the big retailers silent about having to double their prices? Is there a secret deal? Post your best guess!
Anyone who would destroy the greatest nation, economy, science, polity etc INSANE & UNFIT.
He is non compos mentis.
Not a stable genius. Cognitive decline.
NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND acts like this
Paranoid & delusional=not well
And the MAGAs? Also unfit. End the cult

Republicans need to be banned from all levels of power. Permanently.
They've proven themselves to be either incompetent, or maliciously anti-American.
