Excellent NYT graphic.
In the space of about 3 months, tariffs on China:
-- doubled;
-- went up ≈ 2.5X from there;
-- roughly doubled again;
-- went up ≈ 40% from there;
-- and now have dropped ≈ 80% from the peak -- but are still 3X what they were in February.

Irrespective of the actual number. The shitshow effectively evaporated billions of dollars in needless waste.
He'll bankrupt us all before its over.
Let's compare that graph to the DJIA YTD for those dates:
If this is another example of Trump's "Art of the Deal" it's no wonder he's gone bankrupt and his various name brands went belly-up.
“Lower import taxes now that he changed his mind” isn’t an answer
Trump has to be gone for business to exist.
Everybody can see and understand the here-and-there.

I don't feel "so rich." Certainly not to the level that that I don't know where to spend it. In fact, my wife and I are literally considering not buying coffee because it's so expensive.
I think this whole tariff thing is just so Trump and his friends can manipulate the stock market since they know what it is going to happen.
It's now 10%.
Um...

ongoing uncertainty
chronic secondary trauma
When you add that info, what you see is a complete idiot eating crayons.
Calculus & "trumpian economics" mashup.
Impossible to understand. 🧐🧐🧐
Did someone threaten to impose a tariff on his new super-deluxe airplane?
We all know how to solve crimes by following the $

Art of the deal....
*Deal may or may not be beneficial to any parties involved, some conditions apply.
Going up... 🤣
Who could have had access to this, oh so valuable information? Who, puzzler?
I guess maybe everyone in trumps inner circle and family. Yup, that’s the right answer.
Now he says China and he are mates,
No orange felon a victory you do not get to claim,
The crisis you created is completely totally yours we do blame!!
GET HIM OFF THE WHEEL
NOT

Something special about that number 34...
They goaded him into raising tariffs to a ruinous level.
• February - 10%
• May - 10%
USA tariffs on China:
• February - 10%
• May - 30%
Only an imbecile would think he could beat the Chinese at this game.
Still impossible for businesses to swallow without passing it on.
we'll be looking for upsides for a while, i suspect
Trump’s real art of he deal - at least according to him - is his propensity to spin things like Xi pinning him on the fucking ropes as some kind of win.
Ya blinked, Trump. You delaying this does nothing. The damage is already done, you fucking utter moron…
Obviously all other (normal and less normal) people remain without these benefits!
Hope court cases get prepared for insider trading!
So the tariffs are based on a bullshit made up John Baron type
Its 🌎 IDIOCRACY because R’s are too chickenshit to declare the emperor has no clothes
sorry
... should have expected ...
