I am so shocked at this outcome. Totally shocked. If only economists warned us about this in the last six months leading up to the election and called him out
The same people who screamed any increase to minimum wage will cause devastating price increases somehow managed to convince themselves an increase in cost of doing business via tariffs would not be passed on to the end consumer.
Can't reason people out of places they didn't reason themselves into
And this surprises who, why? Our closest allies, attacked for no reason other than to cause more strife, stress, and hide what the regime is really up to.
These tariffs will really kill the economy (especially if they last awhile) but how much of the increases will be American corporations "sticking it to the people because we can"?
My thoughts exactly. The corporations artificially inflated prices when Americans were pre-occupied with staying alive. donny-T wants people to be worried about egg and gas prices while he turns America into a feudal state.
You ain’t seen nothing yet. Wait until US automakers furlough workers because they cannot get parts. Until the Fed has to raise rates to combat tariff related inflation. Until US farmers cannot sell their products abroad(assuming they have labor to harvest them). God’s milk grinds slow but sure.
I have a feeling that the labour for harvest is currently serving a sentence in one of those for-profit prisons they’ve got there. With the largest prison population in the world, what’s a dictator to do?
You must do better at reporting what this actually means to the average American citizen. The extent to which our government is being overtaken, the constitution is being ignored, and our finance is now on the hands of a billionaire and some college age kids. Do better.
Not faux outrage. Just outrage. You are correct. They have not been completely remiss in reporting it. However, legacy media needs to to be better aware of their semantics and headlines that can be misconstrued.
I disagree. Headlines mean nothing. Particularly accompanying a social media post. Read the articles. I don't think it's necessary, or productive, to dumb EVERYTHING down to reach people. Maybe people should come "up."
I have to laugh about the part about wanting the likes. I’m not sure how that would help me. I’m just a citizen. Not a reporter. Not looking to sell a book. Not running for office. Don’t care if anyone follows me or not.
That’s the question isn’t it starting with just more balanced reporting. Posting on all social media platforms. People either sharing on their platforms or actually showing it to family members or friends who might be less inclined to read it.
Ultimately, I think we have to remember many are in a cult state of mind and simply presenting information is not enough. But we have to start somewhere. What are your thoughts?
Lesson for Canada is to educate your kids early. Otherwise this could be you too as our idiots in Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Idaho, West Virginia, Wyoming and other Grifting Red States are just too stupid to understand how badly the GOP billionaires are using them to enrich themselves further.
I lived there. Van and Vic are socially liberal, though very economically conservative. BC interior is just an extension of Calgary. Calgary is just Texas with extra step. And Saskatchewan could be a proud member of the Westboro church.
Ban American billionaire owned right wing media ASAP. They are all in on disinformation in order to undermine democracy and consolidate power with oligarchs. The Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Fox News, Newsmax, Facebook, X, and soon Tik Tok are you worse enemies.
искали китайских воров что все водоросли укали танкерами и обманывает что нефть разлилась.
мы видели как ночами тралили водоросли катерами
свалили на Кеннеди что им надо яхты и крабы чтобы чтобы сдохли( крабы тоже Хрущёв кажется воровал или Сталина времена.
Макдональдс тоже разоряют упаковками как и многих.
Блюда были иные, минимум бумаги.
тоже были вопросы( сколько людей работает ради бумаги?
всем лес рубит и что нам же надо и нам тройной цены упаковки чтобы сдохли от голода. и работали и что Китай никого кормит
This is a masterclass in how to destroy the global economic dominance of a nation in a span of two weeks. It may also end up being the singular biggest gift to China on the global economic stage. Even bigger than the US including them in the WTO.
Let’s make enemies of our allies, shall we? Greatest nation in the world led but the most short sighted. We didn’t need to put in tariffs (on our neighbors), we didn’t need to cut humanitarian aid to countries in need (we can help at home and abroad.) We will feel the economic and societal impact.

How can you be shocked by something Felonious Asshole said he was gonna do all along? Haven't the smart players already shorted the global Trump recession? And played in accord with the massive market shortages and inflation? So you're talking about idiots then, like you usually are.
Who would have thought? Airplanes crashing, economy crashing, our partner relationships crashing, Treasury Department theft…and we are only 2 weeks in. Congrats America.
When stocks go down there are a few words to describe it: Pullback, Drop, Tumble, and Plunge.
Today's "tumble" won't move the monied class to become seriously concerned until it becomes more apparent that the wealth effect is being hit in a sustained manner.
This is part of their strategy. Trigger a stock market drop so that the oligarchy can buy hordes of stock cheap and rake in even more of the global wealth. Do you get this, NY Times?
Elect a clown, you get a circus. Most Americans that voted for him probably don't own any stock, or understand how the markets work. Probably think they're "sticking it to elites" right now. Obama and Biden must be the cause of any price increases at the Piggly Wiggly.
Trump, Musk, Thiel, and other members of the #AmericanFascistParty are shorting the markets.
They now have the ability to direct entire financial markets down or up, whilst also being able to take massive advanced positions on those directional shifts.
I would say that Trump never picked up a history book to see what isolationism does but he’s acting to hurt US interest on behalf of Russia. If you look at all he and Musk’s moves in that light it all makes sense

Show up at your state capitol, city hall, or town hall and make your voices heard.
Let’s show the world that the American people will stand up for their democracy.
Thanks a lot...
Well now is the time. Americans are outraged about the COUP happening at OPM & Treasury.
Show some backbone. Make some noise. Take lessons from Canada. They are cancelling Starlink.
The faux-outrage against the wrong "enemy." I'll never, ever understand it.

Only then will the knives come out.

This is corruption on a breathtaking scale.
