There are so many historical parallels to lean on (Nazis, great depression, GFC, etc.), but I'm rapidly coming to Mad King George right about now.

Wait that makes it 104%?

20+34+50?

Is my Maths correct?

Sure, why not. And an additional eleventy billion percent if they haven't given us Tik-Tok by Friday.

Sick with me here,... 150 trillion percent tariffs,... we get one guy to buy one widget a year and we're well on our way to paying off our national debt.

Easy peasy.

(maybe the fact that he also mentions negotiations with other countries suggests that he might narrow this down to just China?)

reply

irishoutsider.bsky.social•9 days ago

50-100% tariffs on China are still extraordinarily bad

reply

wikisteff.bsky.social•9 days ago

Indeed. Here are US imports in 2023 by counterparty.
China is 14.5% of the $3 trillion.

The US is gonna go back to landlines, stacks of paper, and bike couriers. Incredibly based.

Over 100% soon...
The formula is clear.

I'd just go with a zillion and be done with it.

taalluq.bsky.social•9 days ago

This would bring effective tarrif rate against China to 104%, no? It is hard to tell with him if it is bluff like with Colombia or is he committed given he is not a rational actor 🥲

reply

iggs44.bsky.social•9 days ago

104% or 72%?

Either he is a complete idiot or benefitting from market panic. Maybe both.

He’s both an idiot and a man who has never faced real consequences for his actions.

reply

jonysake6.bsky.social•9 days ago

He keeps adding "Thank you for your attention to this matter" to his posts, like he's writing a letter to correct a billing statement. It's so weird!

reply

archivesguy.bsky.social•9 days ago

Now we’ve done it with the false 90 day suspension report. Needs to show he’s bigly and strong. Amused by the thank you for attention to this matter he signs off with, like it’s a letter to customer service.

reply

mattgriff24.bsky.social•9 days ago

Clearest off-ramp to all this is to just not enact the tariffs and bank on the fact that Trump is too lazy and stupid to notice.

At this point, if your shit is about to be loaded onto a ship in Shenzhen, how are you not screaming into a phone to cancel it? By the time it arrives at the port of LA you might be paying 200% to get it through.

Besent told @kaitlancollins.bsky.social that it was his view the 34% tariffs would be added on to the existing 20% tariffs… so we’re now adding another 50% to… exceed 100%?

Kakistocracy.
