No surprise, China will shrug off the tariffs, they won’t like being disrespected, big mistake don, they’ve formed trade alliances with Japan and S Korea, the US out of the picture more for everyone else….goodbye dollar general, hobby lobby, target, walmart…yep, he’s a genius
Good. The more suffering we endure, the sooner this will be over.
Sadly, it wouldn't surprise me if the republicans are blaming the weather on those damn Jewish space lasers again.
This will cause job loss in a grand scale here in the US. The opposite of what tRump promised. This is what tRump wants. When we protest loudly and in huge numbers because of this type of thing, he can bring our military to bear. Against us. 😔
Are you ready for this? China has been and well thought out. Trump lost before the first 3d move.
Xi won't even meet with Trump until Trump surrenders.
Separately, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce said that it was adding 11 American companies to its list of “unreliable entities”, essentially preventing them from doing business in China or with Chinese companies.
If the 11 are the oligarchs, Xi would win the whole world over.
Just the beginning. I’m sure on Sunday when trump is bored, he’ll double the tariffs on China. It’s almost like trump’s inner circle have a betting pool about who can get him to do the stupidest thing.
And the maga morons still don't know any better. Fox Noise will continue to lie and tell everyone up is down and bad is good and maga will lap it up and clap like the well trained seals that they are.
No, he does. He just doesnt care. And he is actively trying to hide how they work from his base by claiming that they are paid by other countries. Because if he were honest and called them the tax on americans that they are, his base might not like it. Then again, they are incredibly stupid.
We have just come out of a meeting with government officials, and the situation is dire. Officials have made it clear that LGBTQ+ refugees are not welcome in South Sudan. They have given us only two weeks to leave Gorom Refugee Camp, expecting that the U.S. https://gofund.me/a0bb7404
I keep thinking back to a scene in "Civil War" (the recent A24 production) where they're going to buy gas and the journalist says "We have $300." The rural gas attendant scoffs. Then she says "Canadian," and the guy changes his tune and sells her the fuel.
Just an idea: Europe has huge personnel shortages. Can't we entice the americans to come back to europe? That would stimulate our economy. Much better than starting a trade war.
It's going to be rough for 'a little while, but will be worth it on the other side'. Trump says 'you will have lots of money, lots and lots of money...'
WHO WILL???
The entire world is going to crash and burn now...all thanks to that fukker who thinks tariffs were going to ...what exactly? 😡🖕
Over on the other site they are telling us that he has already taken in trillions of dollars and that the entire world called him last night to negotiate. We can't win because they simply don't exist in the real world
According to the Stable Genius, when you impose tariffs, it’s the exporting country that has to pay them. So when is someone going to ask Mr Trump how much all these tariffs that countries around the world are now imposing on American goods, going to cost the US tax payer 🤔
Looks like this might be bad news for farmers, since the US sells lots of soybean, pork, chicken, beef and other agricultural products to China. With these tariffs making that less attractive, China may be looking to make deals with alternative suppliers like Canada, Mexico or South America.
If Trump thought the trade deficit with China was high before, just wait 3 months.
China doesn't really need anything from the US that they can't get from some other country
50 years of trade negotiations with China just went down the toilet!!
It was practically immediate. Items listed directly from foreign sellers on Amazon jumped $3+ dollars overnight. Less than 24 hours after the goblin muttered his mutterings, China struck back.
The future for America seems bleak, as numerous countries hold negative sentiments towards it. These trade barriers not only strain international relations but also lead to increased prices on goods and services.
Trump will blame China for hurting the economy. Businesses will suffer. Inflation will rise. Hate and anger will rise dramatically. We are cannon fodder for Trump's stupid trade war.
Solidarity greetings from Germany. ♥️
Worst-case: a majority of US citizens will believe Trump that China, Mexico and Europe are to blame for their misery.
One day Trump will ask "Do you want total war?"
Please don't repeat our mistake!
Say NO to MAGA Fascism, because that's exactly what it is!
I wonder how many US citizens have to actually die from health issues, from lack of money, from gov't neglect, before the body count becomes enough to actually get up from your comfortable couches and go after them.
And the u.s. dollar becomes junk. The maga cult is totally responsible for this epic collapse of the once greatest most prosperous country in the world. Not sure what the fuck they are going to do when they lose their jobs, no unemployment, become homeless and there's no food at the foodbank.
I see Trump fired another general last night. Because Laura Loomer told him to. What does she have on Trump? Is she threatening to expose an affair or his Russian coat strings?
So much for the allied compromise"deal" with China regarding Bytedance and TikTok...China wants these tariffs solved before it agrees to sell its algorithm - it is alleged - to trump or his investors...

The Biggly Tariff King is starting a Trade War so he can hand owed to Putin. He’s a Convefe puppy. Bankrupted 6 companies and now the US is his next toy.
It's ok, I didn't want to retire, anyway. I much prefer to ditch my portfolio, 401(k), and not rely on Social Security. There's more honor is having my back fail me until I become immobile and then I starve to death.
So the authoritarianism is in full swing America 🇺🇸! Let a stand united and NOT divided thru this! Want to crack a joke about this but it’s NO joke! Fight back at every level that we can! Resistance only works when we fight back! Helping neighbors that are need at every turn if possible! A Nightmare!
Hey, who else lost 5% of their retirement yesterday? Protest peacefully, but PROTEST. People are fed up with this bullshit.
How many people are already in desperate territory? What becomes of their state of mind? We must focus all of our energy on those who deserve it and give them hell.
Can you please inform your President that we in the UK are sick of “winning so much, that we’ll be tired of winning”
Can we go back to not winning, we preferred it when we were losing.
Just can’t blame them. As long as Republicans and shit head are running our country - I’m all in for any other country to make their own prosperity w/o the US! Our President and his Co President are gangsters!
Isnt one of the BIGGEST Tesla factories in the world in China? I wonder if they'll come after Musks bottom line as well. Who am I kidding, China is barely treading water atm.
The US is done we go the way of the Romans and many more.China will now emerge as the global leader.Trump helped China get there faster than they would have.Sayonara US it’s been a ride.Let’s hope he doesn’t push any buttons before he leaves office by God or votes -he is that vindictive and cruel.
So farmers for Trump are changing their name to farmers for freedom. They probably demand a bail out as they will not be able to sell their goods to china 🇨🇳
Not one company who capitulated to trump and donated money to $ to his campaign should receive a bailout b/c of this economic disaster. Let this be a lesson for them. If they have $ to burn, they have $ to learn! Any govt support needs to go to the citizens he just screwed over.
How will it work with components imported by US manufacturers? Even if they wanted to tool up it would take time and who would invest millions when this tariff madness is likely rescinded by the next president?
Trust builds over long periods of time and destroyed with a single betrayal. We have betrayed our friends and they no longer trust us. This will not be resolved soon, if ever...
Or worse. If China decides to dump the treasury bonds at once, we are doomed literally. We are doomed anyway. I might root for the other nations so that MAGAts get sufferings they caused us.
This is interesting
The United States Office of the Treasury on Wednesday canceled sanctions on Karina Rotenberg a long-time member of the European jet set and wife to businessman Boris Rotenberg a billionaire oligarch and close friend of Russian President Vladimir Putin
Yes Russia is our new best friend! Yuck 🤮! Hope that whenever we take back our country no matter in what condition we find it, we can always go after all these oligarchs for the highest criminal charges America has! Hopefully, and finally we get someone with Balls to handle this!
Thanks for this needs to be reposted as much as possible! Ukraine is in trouble, hopefully other countries step up promptly! Would love to see them win this war! People wanted to end wars yet we might get injected in it with these goons! Yep, money always seems to be the issue!
European economists calculate that improving the internal EU market would allow the EU to more than compensate Trump’s tariffs. Added to a shift to Asian trade partners, Canada and South America, Trump can go and screw himself while the EU prospers.
Happy liberation day😉
Already Ted Cruz has been hitting Fox “News” trying to turn this narrative around. He’s trying to sell that the US tariffs are purely retaliatory for pre-existing (?!) tariffs by other countries against the US.
It would be laughable if it weren’t so damn serious.
Didn't you know? By us not being able to trade with anyone in the world, this somehow increases manufacturing when you have no one to sell the products to. 🙄
The most incompetent and dumbest president EVER!!
Manufacturing plants and infrastructure appear overnight as if by magic in his dysfunctional mind. In the real world, businesses will be bankrupt and people will be homeless. So liberating.
It’s as if the fucking idiots in the White House have literally NO idea how America’s economy currently operates.
America’s manufacturing base is about to collapse, and what will be left will be a small, corrupt, domestic nightmare of a market, more like Russia than old America.
The malignant effervescent tablet he just dropped into the clear clean waters, being our country, is beginning to erupt!!...and its sucking out our oxygen and drowning us with HIS POISONOUS GREED AND SELFISHNESS!!
They already did the first time. $28 billion farmer subsidy. China is already past that. The US soybean supply chain took around 10 years to put into place. They don’t care. More foreclosures are just more acreage for Midland Daniel’s, Monsanto et. al to conglomerate.
Meanwhile, Mother Nature is showing her power in the Midwestern USA. Politics, nor religion can help your dire strait position. Open your eyes America. It's going to get worse with the Trump regime closing FEMA. Focus America, or pay the consequences that laid before you. Hurricane season is near!
Unfortunately, those employees will be involved in AI, content development and areas that have nothing to do with iPhones and all Apple hardware. I am all Apple, have been for years. Cook met with FOTUS last week. He’s cooked!
True but the avoid the China import tariff. I am also interested in China's wording on the tariffs. It sounds like they are playing a game with the carve outs.
God this entire scenario actually feels like children having a back and forth spat... except these children are ruining lives with their ridiculous "games".
He "negotiates" like walking in a store and breaking something, then saying, "If you don't give me a deal on what I came here to buy, I'll break something else."
Well, what he's already broken and now also has to pay for costs more than what he went to buy.
Consumers will move to alternatives when they can. Smart tariffs target specific products and services, which can help local industries. Taxes also lower demand. But it’s always cutting ones nose off a bit.
China has a lot of alternatives for everything. The EU will probably go for specific things important in red states, lowering their demand, hurting Trumps allies. Expect tariffs on Bourbon etc.
Another thing: the EU can also retaliate by its „bazooka“, developed specifically for situations like this. It’s a range of measures that includes a lot of nonmonetary barriers to trade, including, for instance, exclusion of US companies in public tenders. Brace for impact.
Unfortunately it is going to need to hurt more stupid racists before they smarten up. I am sorry for the families that will suffer. I voted for peace and hope, not this shit.
He wants to burn this country to the ground. Literally. Because that is exactly what's going to happen when he pushes people past their bullshit limit.
These tariffs applied by Trump are not about leadership or economics.
They are a way for this giant man-baby to get attention from world leaders, having them come begging to him pleading for the tariffs to be removed or reduced.
It is all about attention, nothing more, nothing less.
Yep. It was obvious when he declared the date in advance. Got the world in a tizzy waiting to see who would fare worst. Trump doesn’t know it yet but the answer will be the US.
As the left, we must let China go. They don't support human rights, aren't a free market, and make stuff we don't need. A better plan is to live like our grandparents - grow a liberty garden, reuse don't recycle, a shop small and local. Buy from the farmer's market, not Smithfield.
That was fine and dandy when global trade wasn't really a thing, but there are many goods people need that rely on global trade now. Medicine to start, but it goes well beyond that.
Sure. ...but not China, Iran, Russia. Why do business with a repressive, authoritarian regime? They hang gay people for being gay, don't have a free press, and ethnic cleansing. The outline for Trump now. Supporting China IS supporting slavery. It's not xenophobic, it's facts of life.
Trump kept his promise to bring down prices. Stock prices are down 7000 pts in less than 3 months. It was so easy that he can go to Floriduh and golf 3 days a week.
Why is no one touching the Services sector? The US is running massive trade surpluses against most countries and that’s the US Achilles heel. Attack the banks, streamers, advisory businesses and the Trump will sit up and pay attention!!!!
Just wait till China that holds most of our debt finally gets pissed enough to devalue the dollar and demand the debt be paid in full in another currency
