You put your tariffs in, you pull your tariffs out, you put your tariffs in, and you shake it all about. You cannot run the country ‘cause your brain is not engaged. That’s what it’s all about.
So, so stupid. It's not about the tariffs, it's about manipulating the stock market. Prices drop, oligarchs buy. Prices rise, oligarchs sell. Repeat and rinse.
Trump's tarriff policy goals might be a yoyo but consumer prices will increase with each implementation. Those prices will not come down on their own, consumers confidence as well as spending will drop as they wait for the inevitable bottom to drop out. Market reactions are immediate.
They’re probably making lots of money on stocks as they predictably go down when tariffs are applied, and up when they are undone (delayed). They do that until it stops working then shift to another scam.
Well the good news there is that it’s not going to be the world’s largest economy for very long. The Trump/Musk destruction of the executive is going to crash us into the 2nd great depression.
Why let the asshole at the bar who wants to fight you go try to get more friends to come back and fight later. We need to take it to them NOW. He is on the ropes (not the ropes he set up at the Capitol for Pence).
Trumps decisions are
We do
We don’t
We do
We don’t
We… no more petals 😑
Markets reactions are
We trust you
We trust you not
We trust you a bit
We trust you not
We trust you not
more petals but they trash them 😑
Complete bullshit. We are supposed to go through this every 30 days? NO! Retaliation stays until the tariff threat is dropped completely and shithead agrees to abide by the agreement HE SigNed in his first term!
Of course everyone knew Trump would become another lap dog and he always backs out. He never keeps his word. Trump is a complete liar and nobody can trust him. This is why nothing is stable when he is around.
What a surprise. The bully is not getting his way and is afraid of the consequences. That is how you treat bullies. Don’t accept his terms and stand up.
It's great that he is absolutely rag dolling both economies with this indecisive garbage, not to mention the general state of mind of every person impacted. Not that he gives a rat's ass about either.
I'll bet $20 Trump changes his mind for the sixth time and reimposes the tariffs Monday. The tariffs were originally intended to counter trade imbalances. Then they were due to Fentanyl and illegal immigration. I sometimes think Trump has a brain lesion. He is increasingly erratic and impulsive.
True, businesses will always look out for their bottom line, but should policy just cater to that? If we accept price hikes as inevitable, we let corporations set the rules while consumers pay the price. Maybe it’s time to ask who really benefits.
The "Flip-Flop POTUS" is chaotic and unreliable- worse, he's destroying global relations with our allies and hugging up to our enemies. Great leadership if you want to destroy an enemy....and that is what America is to him and his "bosses"
Hey Trump - to fuck yourself. As a Canadian I hope we keep the reciprocal tariffs on. We aren't going to live under the threat of your tiny orange thumb every 30 days.
Waste, Fraud, and Abuse=the money spent for trump and lackeys to golf every weekend, time to get back at people who made him mad.Ever. Money spent to scare and propagandize.Running home to mommy SCOTUS too often, and all the money spent to get more money for himself.
Also, worst band name ever.
The ACTUAL story is president Trump is too stupid to understand how tariffs work and what the consequences are of them. And now he's backtracking because the stock market is crashing.
A to think I've been told my entire life that women can't be leaders because we are emotional unstable. I'm so sick and tired of old men running the world like this.
Threaten, back down without getting anything...the art of the deal. The whole global economy is being driven off a cliff by a moron enabled by a bunch of pathetic sycophants.
The repeated announcing, pausing, announcing, pausing of tariffs has resulted in a ~5-10% decline in equities (depending on index) and close to $3 trillion loss to Americans! And today the market didn’t even bounce back w/the pause. The market has NO CONFIDENCE and does not believe the President.
The only way they will learn is to punish him, Canada should front it up now and say they will keep tarrifs on for a year, if the US play nicely then they will be removed in new year.
Agreed. Take a hard line, prove you’re not scared of him.
There’s nothing inevitable about US preeminence in the world, so let Trump burn his own house down (it might be the only hope for internal pressure within the US to oust Trump)
We need to keep the tariffs we had planned against the USA. He asked for the fight, and now wants time to prepare for the fight. We need to take the fight to him now. Why wait 30 days for him to come back and try the same fight?
Ford will, and he won’t take tariffs off electricity until there is no threat of more tariffs. Trump just guaranteed NY, Michigan and Minnesota higher prices.

other then manipulating the markets to make money.

Do we protect industries or keep prices fair for everyone?
Trump negotiated and signed the USMCA treaty himself.
Failing to live up to its terms makes him a lying cheating weasel.
Don’t forget why the Fool First
Felon wants tariffs; to pay for his tax cuts to the rich….
And he does it again, and again. Will we ever learn?
Insider Trading by now is sanctioned for Trump Cabal members.....

DUMBASS CAVED,AGAIN!
Trump The Flaccid.

My Premier said we will show you HIW PISSED OFF WE ARE.

We are seeing corruption on a scale unrivalled in (admittedly a relatively short) American history.
He’s an idiot. He doesn’t know what he’s doing. The problem is so many millions can’t bring themselves to see it.
Make him pay for his idiocy

@nytimes.com quotes official saying it's only 10% of Mexican imports.
So which is it?
