Lots of ppl around the world also boycotting US made goods. Collectively this could be really significant. I have bought several hifi products made in US because they’re very good e.g Klipsch, JDS Labs, Grado. But I will no longer do that. Now I will buy German or Japanese instead.
Trump’s entire career has been based on financial bullying. He thinks he can out-tariff Canada, Europe and the rest. He is so far out of his depth, his head ferret has swum to shore.
The Republicans will follow in lock step behind Trump….Until they won’t. And maybe this was their original plan, to kill MAGA and resume THEIR party again.
If “Republicans” stood their ground and stuck with their conservative views Trump would have split the party into two and they would have lost. I bet they’re secretly hoping he soils the bed and MAGA putters out. A real Republican hates Putin and wouldn’t cater to him.
And after the impending economic crisis is evident and in full view, the next step will be to place blame on those ‘working against the interests of the country’ (globalists, leftists, immigrants, journalists, etc). That’s when the height of danger will begin
Yes, this was our fear (or worse) in Jan. while they gleefully drooling over the crypto economy in El Salvador 🤬
We moved our meager $$ to cash/CDs.
We did not even consider any "reliable" US investments (bonds, treasuries, et-al) due to obvious efforts to crash the US bond rating & economy.
Rise up my fellow Americans!
No one is coming to save the Republic.
No one is going to save you.
It is our job, our responsibility, and our obligation to save it and ourselves. Start up the militias, let's not wait until we can't afford food, fuel, & bullets.
Revolution is the solution.
Or maybe the administration if looking for reason to declare martial law in the fast of the subsequent civil unrest. We underestimate their lack of morality at our own peril. Remember Trump told Christian Nationalists that 2024 might be the last time they had to vote! Believe IT!
Trump
Aim: reorder world economy for US advantage
Strategy: Trade manipulation
Tactics: Tariff war
Side effects: drop stocks, drop dollar, chaos, job losses in US,stagflation
Outcome: autocracy via fear & tax cuts for super rich.
Europe: decouples from US.
Canada: aligns with Europe defence/trade.
Meanwhile, oil kills our climate & Trump drills...
The insurance industry knows climate change is real & raises house insurance. Hot areas may find insurance impossible. THIS IS REAL. NOW.
The total idiocy of US democracy replaced with Fascism. So now what? What’s the plan, pray the conservative Supreme Court recognizes their power is at risk and restores personal freedom and free markets before that occurs? Or keep complaining while taking no actions?
Republicans are pretty stupid to have picked this guy to lead the party, a financial wizard he isn’t in fact he had 6 bankruptcies under his belt if you’d looked.
Republicans aren’t smart, especially since the smarter ones left. But he won their votes for the same reasons Brexit happened; he actually talked about working class frustrations while the centrists didn’t even acknowledge them. Unfortunately like Brexit again, he did so by scapegoating immigrants.
Everything associated with tourism is going to take a massive hit. Canadians and Mexicans are cancelling visits en masse. Maybe that will get through to him. Then again, maybe not.
They want everyone desperate and demoralized in the hopes people will resort to violence. That way they can install Martial Law and do whatever they want to completely overthrow democracy.
well, if the country has been bitten by a zombie, and it knows what's coming, the country killing itself is somewhat ethical.
if we go bankrupt and into total chaos at least we dtop being abominable to other nations
And unless we really wipe these clowns out and put them in prison we are not going to recover. Former allies would always know we’re one election away from a repeat. They’d be mad to trust us ever again.
Sounds like that’s their plan. Burn it all down. Let others fix it after trump and his goons are in prison or have fled to Russia (if Putin will even have these clowns).
It would be helpful if he knew what a tariff actually was. He doesn't care, he's just a bully. Canada isn't backing down this time around, we've been here before, remember? He negotiated the last deal. I think he forgot, but it could just be revenge. He's on a revenge tour, we're on the list.
the autocracy path is well worn. once the economy is tanked and your country has not an ally left in the world... you find a scapegoat. I just hope it's not the Jews this time.
By Christmas, the Dow will be below 20k, the Nasdaq below 9k, the S&P below 2.5k and gold will be over 5k
The GDP will be down over 5%
Inflation will be well over 5 %
Unemployment will be over 7 %
Consumer confidence will bottom out
Trump’s popularity will be below 20 % if he is still in office
I like his recent position where he's going to significantly increase auto tariffs, but the auto companies aren't supposed to raise prices. I wonder if they'll listen? Having a demented criminal idiot as POTUS isn't really going well is it?
Tell your finance buddies first so they can short the market and make millions. Chomsky was right, he is the greatest criminal in the history of the world.
There is no 'state of emergency' that can be declared to override the US Constitution requirement for terms in office or elections. The law in place is extremely narrow and would not allow Trump to actually exercise the level of control that people on the left want to dream/nightmare about.
That's what I'm saying... if he keeps mistreating them and taking them for granted they may just refuse to follow orders from someone violating The Constitution that they are sworn to protect. Understand?
I understood from your first post. Yes, some military members are going to struggle and the military leaders might not agree that the manufactured chaos is enough for the invocation of Martial Law.
Totally understand that, think I read it's about 40% of active duty voted for him and about 60% of veterans. Question is if that changes given what he and Hogsbreath have done so far.
All things considered, from the beginning, it looked like they were stressing out the stock market strategically - I'm still thinking they didn't expect our allies to adapt to the I LOVE PUTIN the way they did ? Plus, Musk and his NAZI SALUTE told them they are in the DANGER ZONE !
It’s a reboot apparently to change the USA for good. Not sure who benefits but I imagine trump and his family will do very nicely. Anyone in his way will suffer.
The rich will benefit. They will buy up all of the assets that have been dramatically discounted and prosper as their value increases.
They will concentrate power and wealth. There will be fewer jobs, and people will work for lower wages and fewer benefits. They don't care about the working class.
Tariffs will break havocs on American families living on paychecks, while millionaire & billionaire families are paying the same tariffs as these low income families, but Trump plans to use tariffs as revenue to compensate for loss of revenue by his extending & expanding tax cut for the rich!
The ‘bring jobs back to America’ part everyone understands.
The question is does business understand they have to pay American wages for the employees, or is it just a hidden message, people will be starved for any income, so minimum wage will better than nothing?
I think you're on to something. But Krasnov has had a decade to bring his Chinese manufacturing back home, and he hasn't. That should tell you something.
It's not just wages, it's building the infrastructure for manufacturing. It's workers being able to pass employment requirements., and come to work. We also need the available raw materials to manufacture and THEN Americans have to purchase those products. This is a decade of planning.
For sure it’s a more involved process but post length and not wanting a multilevel post I just was talking about the employee wage part of it. The design, construction, and training certainly won’t be cheap, business will have higher overhead. Add a decade w/ tariffs? People w/Money for cars?
You are correct, will they want to pay living wages for manufacturing? Nope, I worked in a garment plant throughout college, it was not a living wage. I doubt this will change
They already are leaving. Florida agriculture is doing so poorly they are going to kill child labor laws to allow CHILDREN to pick the fields in overnight shifts
the plan is destroy anyone who hurt Russian during the war with sanctions, burn it all down. Then Russian money can acquire whatever it wants at a reduced price hidden in shell companies. Vlad has been talking about Greenland and disputed territories (in their mind) with Canada. all leads to Vlad.
PSYCHOPATH Trump (KGB codename since 1987: Krasnov) has been PSYCHOPATH Putin’s bootlicker for decades.
Trapped w/in the behavior patterns of their disorder, WORLD DOMINATION/ENSLAVEMENT is the agenda as RUSSIA’S Republicans—also cultivated over decades—destroy America/Americans to pave the way.
PSYCHOPATHS Putin’s/Trump’s/Eloon’s MAGAs are a redux of PSYCHOPATH Hitler’s Nazis = psychopaths (1 in 25 persons in the general population) & their psychotic human pets.
History’s confirmed that these stupid, fragile, gaslighting, SADISTIC PERVERTS will grow HORRIFICALLY worse until stopped.
I'm especially amused by the report that Trump met with the CEOs of major American auto companies to tell them not to raise prices on their cars when tariffs start.
This told the CEOs that Trump thinks tariffs are paid by foreign suppliers, not the American importers. Which is exactly backwards.
Attacking me is the wrong approach. We're on the same side. Trump is totally in Russia's pocket and has been incredibly skilled at playing the media and keeping the attention plus using the rightwing bias in the media. But he is also stupid about economics or geopolitics beyond Putin's directions.

Trump will take credit for the rebound from the disaster he calls a perfect start

The Russians have always said that America would destroy itself from within. Bravo, DonOld!
In the present day Administration, intelligence is extinct
That will trigger global meltdown
If the US economy tanks and/or Muskolini trades our gold reserves for bitcoin (e.g. El Salvador) the global economy could get even more unstable than it is with tariffs.

THAT IS GONE
We will be lucky to have a A rating this time next year but that prevents pensions, insurance companies, foreign countries buying our debt
We moved our meager $$ to cash/CDs.
We did not even consider any "reliable" US investments (bonds, treasuries, et-al) due to obvious efforts to crash the US bond rating & economy.
By spamming ICE & other agencies, we’ll actually save lives. This is the least we can do to protect them.
Our country picked someone who is bent on harming others. Let’s be unmanageable & make them fear us.
No one is coming to save the Republic.

It must all be abundantly clear to those in the back what is happening.
We have been in turmoil since 4/2011. 13 years.
No wonder we're exhausted
Then emotion becomes the strategy.
Don’t let it.

The lack of character, honor, and integrity in Trump and in his hand-picked sycophants ensure that will not change
BIZZARO World + Fahrenheit 451 + 1984 = tRump Whirled

Let others govern while golfing.

Those are incorrect reasons

Are you that naive/stupid?
It has been so foreseeable. Trump is an idiot propelled by his insatiable need for attention. He will smash it all. It's up to us to stop him.
Protest. Vote. Call your reps every day.
Bonus: They hate hearing from you.
