This is another cover for market manipulation. Make this pronouncement with a specific date, have another event with all your rich buddies right before so they'll know exactly when to buy on the dip, then watch the market surge. MTG is shittin' a brick with anticipation
Let Trump crash the economy. He will own it and the GOP will loose congress next year in the midterms. The mental decline of Trump is becoming ever apparent.
Great timing. Dismantle the US war machine throughout Europe. Remove all of the hundreds of US bases. You're no longer being protected from any Russian threat (which should be obvious to all,), and only acting to support US Empire/ Israeli interests.
I wrote a paper about the origins of the EU back in college, and so I was about ready to "well-actually" that statement. I'm glad others understand that history.
Donald is just an old man mad, any excuse will do because he had a lifetime of staying ignorant in favor of looking for any means to scam people for money and holding on to his deep held racisms and get away with it.
That's because in tRump's mind, he's running a business and not a country. Being the president for him is just a lucrative sideline giving him access to resources and people he otherwise would have been shut off from.
BTW, what the fuck is this "thank you for your attention to this matter." Nonsense?
It's not relevant here. It's used in business when the recipient
(s) need to take some sort of action to do or stop doing something.
So bizarre.
He is Bat Shit Crazy and unfit for office and the GOP are pretending otherwise. We have an electorate that is too willfully ignorant to understand that he is destroying the country
Rumprickins are responsible for this MADNESS of running the country like a unmanned fire hose spewing feces. The European Union was created to emulate the UNITED STATES, where the UNION is stronger than individual countries just as the states are stronger being UNITED. Rump is delusional.
Will it hurt the EU? Initially, perhaps. But the EU has China, India, ASEAN nations, and Latin American economies to compensate for lost imports and exports. Who does the U.S. have—Russia? Poor, broke Russia. We need to stop pretending the world needs America; they don’t, and they know it.
While economically very painful, the EU can and will find other trade partners, while the US, on this trajectory, cannot. Actually, their actions make it easier for the EU to find success somewhere else.
IF, trump follows through on this, it will hurt the USA much more than the EU, because the EU has already started divesting from trade with the USA and building other trade relationships that don't even consider the USA in them!
Little Hitler alerts his MAGAt friends to SELL, throws a fit and causes causes markets to fall. Billionaires BUY low, Trump reverses course, markets rebound. Repeat.
the iPhone will never be made in the US. anyone with the most minimal supply chain knowledge would know this.
can someone please just tell him to his face in public that he has no fucking clue what he is talking about and that he is dumb? if he calls you some childish name toss it right back.
It’s insane. Yet it’s planned. To destroy America. To plunge middle and lower economic classes into suffering. To manipulate stocks. To blackmail and destroy biz, and allies. To defraud both the innocent public and the criminal cult members. To create chaos, end democracy, and nurture oligarchy.
Of course it is, but the goal is NOT to run the country effectively; the goal is to create anarchy and tear all effective ways to run the nation down and replace them with methods to make Trump and his billionaire friends rich. It all makes sense when you view his actions through that lens.
For decades, the televangelists trained them to be gullible. Trump is just benefitting from that gullibility. Trump is to politics what the "prosperity" evangelists were to religion.
And how little intelligence is actually valued. This country treats education as a job training program, not as the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake and the development of critical thinking
This is not running a country, this is fulfilling vendettas, personal grievances, personal bias and ego strutting. This is not governance folks. This is gutless morons embolding a spoiled, rich child so they can embrace their fake power. Do you not know the difference ppl?
And why is anyone surprised. He told us he was going to do it, the Democrats outlined everything he was going to do, and a slim majority of voters decided that they wanted this to happen. Why the hell is anyone surprised?
Because it was D's that said anything, and the narrative then and partly still now is it D's. D's are to be hated, the enemy and problem; That's the Trump and far right extremist media outlets narrative.
Or stayed home over some hissy fit about something they didn't like. For instance, what did they think was gonna happen in Palestine? Did they think Trump would EVER take their side? Get real. Or,she was a woman, or black. With Kamala,at least they'd still have jobs; finances? Well, the rich win now
The US is a failed state. It’s time for all sane nations to drop the US dollar for international trading and liquidate all US treasury bonds. A robust retaliatory measure to combat the destabilizing trump regime. Get in early! The US dollar will depreciate exponentially once the divestment starts.😎
But a sane way to pull off another grift with the stock market. Who sold their Apple stocks on Thursday and who buys Apple stocks the day before BLOTUS says “I’ve worked out a deal with Tim Cook”?
game begins markets again down down oh a trade deal w ? Russia...up up tariffs ease up but now emptier shelves begin in 2 weeks prices are up layoffs increasing
Jerking around the stock market again. Right after a dinner with millionares last night. They make an inside trading profit, kick back part of the profit in trump Bitcoins. It's a racket.
Seems to be a pattern to announce tariffs when the news cycle isn’t in his favor. ie The budget bill,meme coin dinner. Controlling the news cycle is his tactic to distract and it works every time.
He’s not “running” a country, he’s going around with gasoline and a flamethrower destroying things like a psychotic toddler and the GOP is cheering him on. Eff those people for not having America’s best interests in mind and only thinking about billionaires and their demands for more money.
Is anyone going to challenge the SCOTUS immunity clause for Presidents? Seems this is critical to hold the felon President accountable for his demented impetuous decisions.
Apparently, he needs yet another cash infusion. He’s figured out the best grift yet…threaten tariffs, tank market, and backdown. Lots of 💰 for him, and less for the rest of us.
When the tariffs on China were 145%, DHL added 170% just to be on the safe side and fees to cover the cost of collecting & remitting the TAX.
I shipped them to a different country & trump got ZERO.
I'm a small business. I'm not Walmart and I can't waste $20M on whatever trump is grifting this week
The “America First” guy is systematically going after all the things that already made America dominant. Yes, let’s take the most successful business in the history of mankind based in the United States and tank their stock price and make their product unaffordable.
The imbecilic president is at again. Plus capitulating Tim Apple looks like a fool for kissing up, only to face this kind of BS. Corporate media, elite tech and big law are going to have to wise the F up soon.
Everybody recognizes the economic damage, but Trump is also tenderizing the country for the next pandemic.
"When the next pandemic hits and America is unprepared, it will be thanks to Donald Trump and Republicans destroying our public health infrastructure."
There is a reason why authoritarians are called tyrant's!
Rising authoritarianism worldwide inspired me to write an allegorical trilogy on the perils of fascism: 1) unnecessary war, 2) failed democracy & resulting climate crisis, & 3) racially-motivated subjugation. See: https://amazon.com/dp/B0B1JNBCTK?
My point exactly, and when the welfare queen corporations the GOP runs up debt for and gives tax cuts to, start suffering Gop will change their tune. All hail the billionaires.
I'm convinced he's just the face, the distraction, while the heritage goons burn down the gov't, the tech bros/billionaires drain the Treasury, and the putin admirers kill our Democracy. the goal is to burn it ALL down. The endgame must be some horrific shite, no doubt.
And THAT is exactly what he is INSANE & has chosen his cabinet based on EXACTLY that, because they are caught up in the insanity of drug induced power!!
“Follow the vengeance” should be the new catchphrase, in addition to follow the money: EU signs a mineral deal with Greenland, so Trump punishes the EU . . . 🤦♀️ Harvard rejects Baron, so Trump punishes Harvard⁉️
The past election was definitely fixed espc by voter suppression and the lack of interest by a lot of eligible voters mostly due to the EC voters being the actual voters and not the popular votes nation wide
That's a BIG F off. All phones will get more expensive not just Apple or any 1 carrier. The individual parts cover all different sectors of manufactures and companies. Consumer lose all the way around with job losses and higher prices.
Just what did you win? Or for that matter Donald? Donald doesn't have any widespread support, only 33 % of all voting age Americans even voted for him.
Blue...sick but makes sense!
After an Obama, then Joe, and the very threat of a Kamala being in power, we witness the natural fear of the small-minded.
Freud called it the Id, or the MAGA primitive and unconscious, MAGA personality disorder, driven by basic instincts and desires, like aggression.
In his private moments, I’ll bet Trump is still complaining about the New York liberals never accepting him, and how angry he is that Obama had the nerve to make fun of him. He’s just a small petty vindictive person who’s bent on hurting whoever he can to bolster his ego.
Its a way for them to make more $. Threaten tariffs, market goes down, his cabal is ready to buy. Over the weekend things change, market goes up up on Monday. Guess who the winners are?
Turn it anyway you want. The fact that a person like Trump became the US president remains the symptom of a deeper lying truth. US society as a whole is very sick. It has lost all anchors in an ocean of egoism and moral depravity. It bears all the traits of a dying empire.
And all of their assets confiscated and applied to the damaged economy they have created. Maybe that might be a deterrent to other billionaires to leave our economy alone.
If we ever do finally get rid of Trump, please tell me Congress is going to repeal that law that gives the President the tariff power. It’s inherently unconstitutional and, good grief, we now see the reason why it shouldn’t have ever been passed
Strange that he's all talking about tariffs again the day after his big Crypto meeting. I wonder if any of those people have money in the stock market.
If Congress had any sense of a spine, they would take back that tariff power away from the executive. It’s effing ridiculous that he can just enact taxes on a whim.
He’s not running the country, he’s intentionally creating chaos. Once he destroys our institutions, he will declare that only he can fix the nation. This is a set up for full blown authoritarian rule.
I wonder how long it would take for Apple to build in the USA and how much more their devices would cost - fairly sure it would be more than a 25% increase.
Unless sane People come to the aid of their country. Just say good by. Sure build the phones in the US so you realize all the material used to make the iPhone will have tariffs on them and the wages for employees will be greater than in India or China making the phones exponentially more expensive.
Congress needs to take back control of tariffs. We are not at war. There is no plan. There is no strategy. Trump wielding tariffs willy nilly needs to end.
A toddler with instructions would run the country better than trump! Play nice, say nice things , share your toys and snacks to make friends with your neighbour.
This 50% tariff has nothing to do with the EU trade imbalance or slow walking tariff talks. It is ALL about the EU signing a treaty with Greenland for their mineral rights and blocking the 🍊🤡 expansionist plans.
Trumps belligerence is exiling the US and the self absorbed arrogance attitude just doesn't play on the real world stage and it's costing all Americans. Other countries just band together in coalitions and with far less belligerence and erraticism the better option to deal with.
This narcissistic,tyrannical madman must be removed! These are not the thoughts of a President,let alone rational person.Maybe Trump knows he’s headed for prison & is getting ready to plead insanity. In either case-we must remove him now! Each day,he grows even more dangerous to us & the world.
Well the narcissistic sociopath managed to bankrupt every business he owns including casinos who no one else has ever bankrupted casinos. He's an ignorant sick evil tyrant wannabe dictator and he even sucks at that...
He’s not trying to run the country, only wants to increase his mob boss influence & stay out of prison. Sadly, his agenda works well for the P25 Christian nationalist oligarchs & for the Nazi contingent.
Trump is the dumbest person to ever lead a country. Stone cold, absolute zero dumb. Most likely to swallow his own tongue dumb. Likely to use a power drill as a Q-tip dumb.
Truth!
With 2 posts, taxes (tarrifs) will go up for everyone.
The casino for the rich that is Wall St. is cashing out early this morning.
On the bright side, Moderate Republican Senators may grow some vertebrae in the Cruel Bill negotiations. 👀
Slim majority ? Why do you ignore the fact that 92million people stayed at home on Nov. 5th because they were fine w trump winning and becoming their next president???
He's using the tariffs not only to manipulate the markets, but also as a form of blackmail for his family to receive large gifts or business advantages.
I have said this before and I continue to believe, Trump is using on again, off again tariffs to manipulate the stock market to benefit insider trading. Someone is being tipped off to these moves.

He's now selling access to his blatant market manipulation info.
Somebody lock this fucker up!
And markets, ignore this POS - he's playing you!

Countires have trade deals in place. They can wait it out.
So, the market thinks tariffs are behind us, decisions will be rational going forward, Trump’s plans for the future will be good for the market.
Irrational exuberance?
Or was it 90 deals in 90 days?
Asking for a friend…
Attacking Tim Cook by name is a disgrace.
Did Trump erase it with his magical Sharpie?
No.
The Republican Party of PAB is letting their Fürher do whatever the hell he wants to.
(no offense to actual teenagers)

In that case, he's doing it exactly right.
Unless they're successful in rewriting history.
He ran America into the ground, then he ran Americans into the ground.

Yes, but it is an absolutely fantastic way to manipulate the market.
He can’t even get his numbers right. $250m deficit indeed.
And the media take this guy seriously too.
Heaven help us. Can we have some new, objective commentators please?
The rest of you can join faux news.

Every reporter needs to point out he does not have LEGAL power to put on these tariffs.
Chaos is not policy.
Chaos is republican policy.
Insanity is stupid strategy
Chaos is really stupid policy
You are so right!
The US can't replace the rest of the world.
They are both clinically nuts.
Holy war kind of stuff. 📢🇺🇸🆘🗽🫦🕸️
Pay Trump what he wants.
Or he makes you pay.
If he gets asked the correct way.
Once Apple complies, then the smaller companies will follow, like the law firms and the universities did.

Diversify.
Live simply.
Stay away from the eeapons and war industry. Of the USofA.
He is mentally fit to stand trial, and he absolutely should.
He knows he can bullshit anything and get away with it.
Deals have been made with China.
Trumps tweets on tariffs are meaningless.
1 for you, 1 for me
2 for you, 1, 2 for me
3 for you, 1, 2, 3 for me
Guaranteed
He wants favors, bribes, power and subjugation and to stay out of prison while committing all his crimes for the world to see.
I no longer pay attention to Trump
His ridiculous posts and threats and outbursts, lies et all else - it’s become too tedious
Isolating that idiot is the only way
Because it looks like the “donation” to the trump inauguration didn’t quite pay off.
🤦🏽

Does he really think he can force companies to eat expenses they didn’t cause?
Because if he does and Dems get ahold of the government again, boy howdy are a lot of them going to be angry.
Stocks tank.
Sell before.
Take announcement back.
Buy before.
Not difficult.
Manufacture volatility, game the timing, profit on both sides. It’s not strategy, it’s market manipulation in plain sight. 🎭📉📈
