I did, back in Nov, to nothing with any stock market influences. Also advised my ex to do so. Don't have a whole lot, but want what I do have to still be there in 4 years.
Yup. As long as they don't dismantle the FDIC, as threatened. I do feel there would be a massive uproar if they tried that crap though, from both sides.
Economic carnage for everyone involved, friends, rivals, American businesses and citizens, for no credible reason at all. One can only hope the political fortunes of the sociopathic, narcissistic felon and his ridiculous goons will crater as quickly as the stock market did today.
IF Wall Street was really concerned the Dow would have been down 800 pts, the Nas 300 and S&P 150. They voted for him and are still in state of denial. Next week should be fun, though.
money isn't money to these people. it's points and bait and influence. the cost of controlling trump amounts to a dollar on a fishing line to the people holding the pole, who are making much more.
How much did China slip the orange idiot for a 10% slap on the wrist? It seems he wants to weaken our allies (Canada and Mexico) while kissing up to China....
Not going to happen. The tariffs are being used by Felon47 to ruin American economy. We are going to have food shortages, increased inflation, job losses, all leading to a depression.
I hope Mexico and Canada don’t cave to him somehow because all his buddies will buy the stock at a low price if he cancels the tariffs. This is just another money making grift. 🤬
Expect already squeezed housing affordability to worsen with a rise in construction costs across multiple categories - appliances, wood products, hardware, glass, plumbing fixtures.
Would ya look at that! A stock market plunge 30 minutes after tariffs are announced. Who woulda thunk that would happen? Spoiler alert: every economist ever and investment traders!
It’s so predictable, in fact, that it would be exactly what someone who wants to give his friends the chance to buy very very low knowing exactly when he’ll walk the tariffs back so his friends can sell high would do. Why keep giving him slack, treating his actions as stupid instead of malicious?
Sorry. 😞 This must also be so stressful for you up there- at least half of us are decent. Can’t speak for the ones who voted for this POS or took the privilege of sitting this out!
Thank you Sue!! Canadians are shocked by all this ...but many are rallying now to avoid US made products ...it's mobilizing the country but why? Y'know? Ugh
I always love buying Canadian much better than China. I have lots of family in Canada. My Father was born in Canada so it has always held a special place in my ❤️!
Like I said elsewhere, the only bad thing I can think of out of Canada is Drake and/or Justin Bieber... Neither of which warrant starting a goddamn trade war!
Thank you! I so wish this was not happening. Apparently, we are slow learners and needed a refresher course. 2nd verse, same as the first, but much, much louder and a whole lot worse.
Ugh - very afraid for Americans! Unfortunately, I think it has to hit the red hats in their wallets before they figure anything out! Those food stamps aren't going to fall from the sky - like the planes!
I pray this doesn't happen in Canada but we do have alot of red hat sympathizers!! I hope they are watching and make the right decision on our next election!
Make sure your officials know you oppose working with this administration until they start acting right.
I honestly hope your country will teach the MAGA people that they don’t understand how the world works and 45 is just a conman. They have to learn the hard way. Stand up to him for yourselves.
The sane Americans appreciate you wholeheartedly. The other half has no clue as to the Pandora's box they just opened for themselves. All I can say is keep Musk far far away.
I'm not well versed as to the Canadian mindset, but here in the US, it was apathy & anger. In person discussions are important. Do let mini trump supporters take it to politics. Keep it about "all of us vs. wealth hoarders."
We appreciate you!
Looks like the ballot boxes were torched, people were illegally pulled off the voting polls, 80+ bomb threats were reported , and during Trump's inauguration he mentioned Musk's Starlink being used to interfere. Cheater
The ones who want to hurt you also want to hurt *us*. They want us so beaten down we break and won't fight back. It's far easier to overrun miserable, broken, desperate people than ones who can hope for assistance from outside.
I hate what he's doing to you, Mexico, Panama, Greenland. This isn't how you treat your allies and neighbors. It makes me sick! That's because he isn't working for America - he's working for our enemies, the ones who hate democracy.
This is the correct take .
Hes stilk angry he was never accepted as legit in NYC . We will now all pay for that . In other news he has less than 10 years to live ,probably .
Hopefully he’ll either not make it to his next bday or not be able to feed himself,he’ll be so far gone. He’s very ill & you can hear it in his reedy awful voice too.There is not enough orange bronzer to cover that all up. We can handle a weak psycho Vance, global terrorist psycho Musk, not so sure
when you consider the fact he wasnt REALLY elected, he used Leon to steal the only states that decide our elections...and it was over before the votes were counted
As a Canadian that married an American and went to college in Michigan it is disgusting to me he would treat a long time ally and friend like this. I keep thinking of the 6200 Americans we took in on 9/11 without question when they couldn’t land in the US, we have always been there for each other. 😢
Not all of us voted for him. I apologize to all Canada for what he is doing. I just feel so helpless to stop this. I just wish that man that hit his ear had aimed better.
You're not alone in your disgust. The United States, in less than two weeks, has turned itself into a vicious international bully and (again) a laughingstock. I'm ashamed of my fellow Americans for voting this travesty of a human being into power.
Canada stood shoulder to shoulder in America’s wars in Afghanistan. Risking our own in the name of freedom for the greater good. One rogue despot is tearing it all down. Fuck Trump with the heat of 1000 suns.
I hate what is happening and if I could do something about it today, I would. He doesn't deserve to be making decisions for the American people. He just doesn't. He has no empathy for anyone. Not even his own children. Thank you Canada for being our ally.
I am begging... please start buying blue states. Nothing would please me more than to become a Canadian right now. At least 1/2 of us are obviously too stupid to take care of ourselves.
This is what happens when a “stable genius” starts doing things that he knows nothing about. He certainly didn’t learn from this mistake in his first term and he had to start subsidizing farmers for their lost crops when he imposed a tariff on ag goods to China. He has no clue.
He’s a psychopath.
He has absolutely no empathy or compassion. He’s a trust fund baby who used his wealth and father’s empire to abuse anyone he wanted for decades.
He used the mob and motorcycle gangs as enforcers in his real estate empire.
That’s true, too. Right now rightwing propagandists are likely telling them Biden did it. MAGA needs to stop believing everything they are told and pay attention to what their eyes and ears are telling them. Their portfolio was doing great. Tariffs are announced. Portfolio plummets. It’s obvious.
Step 1 in destroying the economy. Chinese goods are a fraction of the price of US made. 10% is neither here nor there. The donald doesn't want to upset one of his favourite dictators whilst he attacks his neighbours.
He’s not going to stop until he destroys it all. He’s taking revenge on any and everyone who has ever slighted him in his entire life. The presidential equivalent of “if I can’t have you, then nobody will.”
But the tariffs are going to be so great for America. Why can't all those economists and Wall St analysts see that? Donnie is smarter than them all! A true stable genius.
You notice how the Dow is down and Trump's buddies will know this ahead of time, short the stock and then buy at the lower prices. Watch all of the Billionaire cabinet ministers get REALLY rich over the next while.
I would bet6 all his Cabinet and all the GOP Reps and Senators double their net worth over the next four years and most of them the 1 st year of his admin.
Wait, I forget... Who do we blame for the Losses on the Market? Is it Biden or Obama? I know who to give credit for gains... That one's easy but losses I can never remember
#FollowtheMoney this is definitely #ClassWarAgainstthepoor and we need to remind everyone of #Facts #DownwiththeOligarchs #TheydontownUs #ElonMuskisanAmericanOligarch #Callthemout
Coming up next:
Even Wall Street havs gone too far pursuing harmful DEI measures, President Trump confirms, substantiated by overwhelming thatsjust common sense, substantiated by The Donald…
Wake up!!! The people who voted for Trump was not based on economic issues but because of grievances with DEI. That's what's going on. I'm shocked that progressives don't see this and are trying to figure out how to connect with the "middle class." They are way off track on what Trump tapped into.
WE CAN MAKE HIS LITTLE "TARIFF" GAME FAIL. WE JUST NEED TO PLAN TO TAKE DECISIVE ACTIONS AGAINST IT. SAVE MONEY - DO NOT ENGAGE IN ANY COMMERCE THAT CREATES WEALTH FOR HIS BAZILLIONAIRES.
This is all for market manipulation. Now all the oligarchs can buy up cheap stock and then Trump announces he has changed his mind sending share prices to rocket. This should be illegal
How convenient. Announce it at 1 pm on a Friday. Short the market before anyone else can.
Dont be shocked if he “changes his mind” tomorrow so the stocks go back up.
He did this all the time with China claiming he “met with Xi” on a Fri and find out Mon it never happened. SEC if you’re listening
I live in Mexico, I buy imported goods from the US. The tariffs imposed today will only lead to Mexico reciprocating with a 25% tariff of their own on the states. This will result in a boycott of American goods, only to be replaced with Mexican made goods. This will hurt American businesses.
Consumers there should be boycotting right now regardless of tariffs. He’s using Americas economic force to bully countries, but when American companies start taking a hit it will weaken his power.
Mexico is already looking to replace the US with other trade partners. US Corporations will suffer from the response tariffs from Mexico and Canada and lead to higher prices. Boycotts will hurt the US. Mexico already has import fees, tariffs on top of that will price the US good out of completion.
tRump thinks all the industry that moved offshore will return to the USA. But, global entities won't! They'll continue on with business as usual! Only the USA will feel "ALL" the pain,💯
Agree! Problem is the US doesn’t make many things. They aren’t even easily setup too. Having good trade relationships is really important for a country like the US.
There will be cost/benefit analysis done.Industries that can easily onshore may,but most can’t.if they believe he won’t be a dictator, there’s no chance they invest not knowing the future of tariff policy.But yes,the US will feel a lot of pain no matter what financially not to mention reputationally
Pretty much. Cdn here in small resort BC town. Lots of coffee shop chatter about never crossing the border again and boycotting all things American ( hard to do but…). Double whammy having to be polite to Americans here on a cheap ski holiday. Thx. You pissed off mild mannered Canucks.
That was my first thought. I'm retired and never had much in a 401K anyway. But I'm thinking of my former co-workers, some of whom probably voted for Felon 47. 😕
My guess Felon 47 will blame Obama, Biden, DEI, Canada, Mexico, all the late night talk show hosts that don't kiss his ass, my dog, your dog... It's so frustrating and enraging and tiring.
Wait until Monday Ron. Then check trade levels. The marketeers surfing the dive. And by friday, hopefully, the stock market is stopped dur to losses. *Crossing even my eyelashes*
Huh. How all those magat seniors who rely on their investment income to fund their retirement feel about the stock market plummeting?
They thought they had a hedge against the Social Security & Medicare cuts, but alas they do not 😈
That the USA would be paying more money for Mexica and Canada's stuff to the USA governments? WHY would they be crying... they can import and use other countries.
The “things” that the American public will be going thru? Where are Democrats? Inclusivity is important, but will mean nothing when put Country is gone.
I’ll bet Elmo, Trump, Kushner and a few others shorted the hell out of this around 12:00 today. And about an hour before he changes his mind, they’ll be buying again. Just like last time.
There is no bottom to what this evil thing will do. Question, will Americans resist or submit before him and kiss the ring? Pre-war Nazi Germany comes to mind.
I wasn't blocked before my post, or I never would have been able to reply. The funny part is people blocking and creating a pathetic little echo chamber 🤷
Doubt it. We’re part of the commonwealth Im guessing/hoping the UK will have our back along with other allies which would be ugly - war and economic collapse to the world
When will we start marching in the streets? This is only going to get worse. Now hearing Musk is working on shutting down the Treasury and the FBI purge has begun :(

There will be a run on the banks.

I am 💯% sure that it stands for "pedophilia."
This is what Putin has over Felon³⁴
I have been saying this for years.
Let it fall
let it fall.......
Does he even know how much HARM he causing and will cause!
Canada has always been our ally and friend for DECADES!
So why ? Why pick fights with our neighbors and ally's
Whats the point?
I am Embarrassed to be an AMERICAN citizen right now.
It's a 1st for me in my 60yrs 🤦♀️

Then the bubble bursts and it gets real.
I apologize for his obscenity.
I hope your country breaks this movement.
And please for the love of all that ever was and ever will be, do not let this happen to your country.
I honestly hope your country will teach the MAGA people that they don’t understand how the world works and 45 is just a conman. They have to learn the hard way. Stand up to him for yourselves.

Pretty fucked up, dude.

He’s always been an extortionist at heart.
He has absolutely no empathy or compassion. He’s a trust fund baby who used his wealth and father’s empire to abuse anyone he wanted for decades.

Where have we seen this before..
The Mitch McConnell dead eye freeze.
The dazed and confused Joe Biden flop on the debate stage.
America is fycked.
The American consumer will be paying higher costs on everything so Trump can give $$$$ to his ilk.
The epitome of stupid.....American voters.
He looks like the walking dead.

A good time to read "The Day the Bubble Burst" by Thomas and Morgan-Witts.
They thought they had a hedge against the Social Security & Medicare cuts, but alas they do not 😈
And we know how it ends.
What a sad piece of shit
and then every country retaliates with equal tariffs in response 🤔🫢🤭😂🤣
Getting comfortable 🍿
BEFORE THIS GOP STUPIDITY KILLS US ALL.
