More or less to strong arm other companies and organizations, creating a reward for those who comply by lifting their tariffs on them, at the cost of his own country (which is fine since he can just detain any dissenters who act up)
For the next four years the economy will be a wild ride.Okay for the next year it will be a wild ride.I think people will just get off the ride and with no people the ride will stop. We will get to see what that looks like. Choose your own adventure they said. No one would choose this. But they did.
Buy cheap near the bottom of the market, then pour billions of taxpayer money into stabilization, then sell high and become the richest man in the world - probly.
Doesn't take a genius to look around and see NO SIGN of anyone wanting to stabilize the markets. Vultures hanging on the edges waiting for their chance to make their killings.
Bet lots of quick 'tips' for a quiet payoff as things roll topsy turvey.
Who'll have time to investigate in chaos?
He will become king in his mind.. honor me and do things my way and I will relieve you of your tariff.. he already toyed with that with Canada and Mexico.. now he’s after the world.
He will grant concessions to hurting US businesses IF they pledge allegiance.
It's a protection racket. This is designed to force American corporations and foreign states/corporations to bend the knee and pay extortion to get exemptions and carve-outs.
We'll then be treated to Mango Messiah bragging about said "deals" and claiming he fixed the global economy.
Pretty much how every protection racket works. "Look at this thing I am threatening to break or already broke...what'll you give me not to break it or to fix it, as the case may be?"
That one's even worse because you are GUARANTEED to need that "protection." That's the nature of the beast when it comes to life and a complex and fragile machine like the human body.
Oh it’s very clear. This is just very wealthy people and their puppets deliberately trashing the economy (and ruining many lives) so they can scoop up stocks and property and companies “on sale” and be even better off after whatever recovery eventually happens, maybe.
His move is so try and crash the economy, create the techno-HRE, and institute a permanent underclass. Now they're still fucking stupid but they have a game plan and it explicitly involves making people suffer
Exactly. They said it. I really don't understand why people are confused. VC is salivating for sale prices, and Techbros billionaires are laying ground for their network state... People are not even real for them. We are numbers, consumers, data, not humans.
IMO if they were smart they'd slowly walk us all into the sea, not start WW3, Civil War 2, and Great Depression 2 all in one go. Fundamentally, as it stands, they're playing Paradox Interactive political power fantasies with people's real lives.
The more those who voted for him suffer the more they will be convinced that there must be some grand unseen purpose in it. They can't be wrong, therfore they won't ever admit they were wrong
Whatever that move was, I am sure to castle with the bishop is illegal, as for claiming the King is transgender. That is definitely a No-No and certainly doesn't get Queen moves.
Let me empanel four, maybe five, d-list luminaries from a hodgepodge of organizations that are only tangentially qualified to comment to discuss the finer points for four to six weeks of a 24 hour news cycle
ITS A SCAMMMMM HE IS NOW GOING TO EXTORT EVERY COUNYRY & COMPANY & MAKE THEM PAY HIM THRU HIS BIT COIN & HIS FAMILYS BIT COINS ...SO NO $$$ CAN BE TRACED ...NOW OFF TO GOLF ON A SELF IMPOSED LONG WEEKEND @ A COST TO USA OF $10 MILL EA WEEKEND IN 4 YRS THATS $ 1.920.000.000.00 ..YES BILLION.IN 4 YRS
Can you help me understand your thought process behind this move?
What are the potential benefit you’re hoping to achieve, and how do you think this will impact different country and industries?
It’s by design. Tank the economy, corporations beg him to exempt them & they’ll do favors, oligarchs will buy up American businesses at fire sale prices that’ll create monopolies. A total dystopian nightmare for everyone else.
I understand your concerns about the potential economic collapse and its consequences. Have you considered the potential benefits of economic diversification or regulatory measures to prevent monopolies? I'd love to discuss this further and explore ways to mitigate these risks.
I think the point is to break the working class, force them to work for less. Undermine their education to ensure they are more controllable. For a while to many workers were asking stupid questions like "is it a good ideal to help people rank each other based on looks?"
Read these books by Dr. Bandy X. Lee: The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump and her follow up book: The More Dangerous Case of Donald Trump. Psychiatrists discuss his severe mental illness. He is unhinged and can’t function in the real world. What Trump is doing is madness. Please tell people!
Weeeellll..., not *every* country.... I see Russia is not on the list. But hey, Tuvalu and some penguins owe us ... I dunno... feathers mebbe? Seashells?
Lickspittle: "You see the almost a backroll sets us up in a strong negotiating position while the, uh, fish-flop toe touches I guess? Well those are because the rest of the world is jealous of our beautiful beef while theirs is weak."
If there is an embargo but you're building policy around tariffs, you set the tariff up in preparation for when the embargo can be lifted. Embargoes are never intended to last forever because they are expected to work.
I have a theory as to why he is doing this, ego and money. You see he and his rich buddies are going to buy up everything that goes under during this chaos. Later when the economy recovers (under a Dem pres) they all get rich as hell. Ego-bc he is incapable of admitting he’s wrong
One of the things going on is market manipulation. The other is to strangle farmers and ranchers into bankruptcy so that people like our Vice President can buy up that land for pennies on the dollar.
If this pain in the pocketbook is supposed to make it great later, for all of us - what is the later great going to be? What is the goal in this bro budget?
This is Illiterate Econ 101
(Or maybe the Kremlin Plan carried out by Agent Krasnov?)
He's trying to force every country to sign a currency agreement so he can call it the Maralago Accord and get in the history books. That's really all it is, except all he managed to do was give everyone extremely strong incentive not to use USD as the reserve currency.
Wondering if there was some kind of fallacy of the heap in play, where they thought that if the US had the advantage in a trade war with any individual country it would therefore have the advantage in a trade war with every country at once.
Looks like Trump is planning to hand our country to Putin. While the US is planning to lay off 90,000 soldiers, Putin just drafted 160,000 soldiers. DOGE work is preparation. "We will take America without firing a shot." (Krushev)
No folks, the penguins will acquiesce and 🍊 💩 🤡 will feel good because the penguins acquiesced and this will all be over. Right! Not until you call your senators and Rep as often as you can! Tell them this is bullshit and will wreck the economy.
I thought of Stewart too! A child begging for attention, thinking what they're about to do is the most brilliant thought or act conceivable, and when they get it they do the stupidest shit.
Because when they've been convinced to do an objectively stupid thing the media tells them they are the victims of every one pointing out that objectively stupid thing and rightfully calling them stupid.
All those mean people calling them names. They'll show us.
When you can control markets at gunpoint and can pick winners and losers with a pen, you and your friends stand to profit if they know what to buy before you do it.

Has Got To Go.
This is all Obama's fault. Or is it Biden's? No, I've got that wrong. The collapse of the US economy is the result of Hillary emailing. No, wrong again. It's the fault of the Brits not buying US cars. The French have got some explaining to do failing to buy US wine. And Greenlanders. And penguins
He blames this on woke or Biden or Hillary's emails or whatever.
This gets repeated on right wing propaganda.
Then "legitimate" news repeats it.
Then the cult believes it and keep supporting him.
I mean, that's how republicans have stayed in power for decades, why change what works?
hard sad truth.
Kinda fitting how a most obvious conman fraudster came down the escalator and hi-jacked their whole operation,
decades in the making,
and they were all feckless and helpless to stop him.
Consumed by their carefully disinformed base living in the alternate reality they crafted.
States still buy stuff from russia. They buy 6 times more from russia than from Ukraine but Ukraine got tariffs and russia didn't get any.
Moldova buys about the same amount as they sell to the US. And they got fucking 30% tariffs. But they are pissing off russia a lot recently so that's why I guess
my idiot brain has been thinking about how convenient it would be for the AI bubble to burst during a global recession, then i think perhaps Trump is doing it on purpose, but then i remember that he is fucking thick as shit. https://bsky.app/profile/pileofgarbage.net/post/3llvcehd2ss2s
Hearther Cox Richardson covered it this morning--it's a page out of George III's playbook, bend the knee & he'll lift the tariffs for your lawfirm, your industry, you personally if you're a business owner/investor--it's a way to make everyone and everything beholding to him. He crowned himself today
Billionaires buy up the foreclosed land, houses, and small businesses that go bankrupt. Billionaires offer low wages to those desperate for a job. Billionaires control all government contracts that are issued to do the jobs federal workers used to do. It's their plan.
I think he's trying to make us dependent on imports from Russia—like steel, iron, and aluminum—to maintain supply. In the end, I bet he'll remove sanctions on Russia (ending Ukraine's independence war) but also drop tariffs on steel, iron, and aluminum from Russia to rebuild Putin's position.
You should read @chrismurphyct.bsky.social take on this. According to Sen Murphy, autocrats do stuff like this so each business has to come crawling to the autocrat and ask for an exemption. The autocrat exacts loyalty pledges and tolls. This is how autocrats control their countries.
But it IS clear what he's trying to do. It's just incredibly stupid and heartless because it's not going to do what he wants and tons of people are GOING to get hurt. Would be better if he knew tanking the economy on the whole tanks crypto too.
It's the intentional crash move. What he doesn't talk about is that all his rich buddies buy up all the bankrupted businesses and assets, and take over complete control of the economy. They're shaking out the people they don't want.
and get the united states to be one of the most hated countries in the world.
is he a real patriot? this is what someone "trying to save america" does?
give me a break.

Good luck democrats.

Keep your cash handy (he just took a lot of bribes for positions in govt) and make things cheap
It's similar to the "Epic Faceplant", but it affects everyone in the country and is especially harmful to children.
wriggles incomprehensibly to the ground

Russia and North Korea?
It's a cult
But keep talking about national security and signalgate too! Do BOTH!

trouble is it is leaking out into our very real, consequential world
Or they could just be very stupid and wrong.

Putin hates the West with the heat of 1000 suns.
His worst nightmare is a US with a robust economy and a strong democracy. It shows Russians what they're missing.
Trump is destroying both.
CALL 202-224-3121. Tell your senator and House rep to STOP TRUMP'S TREASON

As though he believes he’s entitled to a share of the earnings from everyone on earth.
And, he won’t relent until they kiss the ring and, you know, pay him.
We also sanction Iran, yet we still put a tariff on them.
Moldova buys about the same amount as they sell to the US. And they got fucking 30% tariffs. But they are pissing off russia a lot recently so that's why I guess

Tariff theory: raise price of imports & force US to build stuff here in USA. 1) revenge: US allies who don’t like him (2) Russia? 3) prove he’s right.
Problem: requires decades, precise planning, & intact Fed Govt.
is he a real patriot? this is what someone "trying to save america" does?
give me a break.
Nobody stopped to ask any of them:
Do you ever shop for groceries?
Do you ever pay a bill - utilities, house payment, car payment?
