There already seems to be an anit-american movement in global capital markets. If bond yeilds gain 50 basis points this week you can kiss the dollar world goodbye.
Turns out, being a dick and calling the whole planet rapists has predictable consequences.
It's like a man who's never played poker walking into a game with experienced players and gambling everything on the idea that 'it's only cards, I played 'Snap' before!
Eventually it morphs into a hockey allstar game where dear leader scores 8 goals. But that comes after the awesome military parade. Governing for those who thought the apprentice was real.
I seriously can't believe nobody in the cabal understood that our currency is propped up by our goodwill. I'm still on the fence if this was insider trading or just idiocy. There has been buzz about them wanting to tank the economy, but did they assume the dollar would still hold true? Evil idiots.
The value of any currency has only ever been what other people will give you for it. The people in govt are deliberately crashing the Dollar with the main beneficiaries being Putin and Xi. Why they are doing this is best answered during a Trial for Treason.
I think a lot of American citizens underestimate China also. They are huge, have a very long history, and this might be their moment when they become the dominant world power in modern times.
I agree. Their incompetence has already cost the US billions, if not trillions. China saw the US bond rate was falling (looked like Trump wanted to renegotiate their Chinese debt), so they dumped $50B in US bonds. The bond rate went back up to even higher than it was previously.
Sad, but true (I grew up in WV) the people there are so trumpy now, the false promises of prosperity for high school dropouts still resonate and now they have a scapegoat to blame their situation. Illegal Immigrants who stole their non-existent jobs.
I expect they'll be going back to the fields and tarring roofs then, now that deportations have begun? Because no one will be hiring HS drop outs for $80k white collar jobs. Undocumented workers do the jobs no one else wants to do.
JD was literally raised by the American equivalent of “peasants” before he became the boy toy of a billionaire. How quickly he forgot where he came from…must have spent that book deal money.
This is their best opportunity ever to dethrone US dominance. If they aren't using this to try and realign the globe, they are fools. An own goal like this is golden.
If Trump fails to do that by Monday, the market will crash again on Monday morning. The decline of the $, the increasing 10 year, does not bode well for sustained market gains or a stable economy.
Trade at your own risk lol @carlquintanilla.bsky.social @cnbc.com
XI isn't. He's a bully, one so extreme that I seriously wonder whether he is a sociopath. China is *his* b*tch. Russia is Putin's. Authoritarianism 101.
Trump wants America to be his as well. :/ All the talk of saving American democracy and rule of law is about preventing this outcome.
I think we're gonna gain the stupid prizes after playing stupid games. Whatever it happens our foreign policy is crushed by this man. And this being the only power he constitutionally has. We're doomed as as whatever he thinks any minute will become a stupid policy hitting us in the face
When will folks realise the join the dots connection, with the most powerful people in the world and their interwoveness, the fabric of civilization, zionists, involved with Nazi 1933, to set a journey from nazi Germany leaving jews to suffer, zionist in America and Russian politic and china
They're going to announce a deal in which we get TikTok, and China gets favorable trade deals. Trump's spin will be that he's secured this great victory and is a master negotiator.
Meanwhile, China will be posting memes that they gave their toddler an iPhone to soothe him.
I would think President Xi would not be charmed or encouraged by the traitor felon bragging to his MAGA GOP fundraiser audience about how countries are bowing, and “kissing my ass”
Xi doesn't have to actually call ole bone spurs for the claim to be made. Note the differences in his version of conversations with Mexico and Sheinbaum's. And if he says he was on a phone call with Xi then MAGA will go to their graves believing it happened.
Our closest allies were very diplomatic in trying to prevent a tariff war out of respect for the American people. He caved. Other countries have tried to do the same. He caved. China does not care about the American people, trump or our economy. Xi Jinping is schooling T on what a real Dictator is!
As Trump will tell it, 'XI called me, begging. He said, "Mr.
Trump. You got me. You are a brilliant negotiator! There has never been someone to force a harder more fair deal than President Trump. I walked all over Biden" He said that, and I said "XI you have to start being fair to America"'
Sorry if rude to jump in but what do you mean by the word crickets in this context?! I'm from the UK and cricket is obviously a massive sport for us so when you Americans use it on bluesky it comes up and we brits are left confused!
Ah! My apologies.
When someone says "Crickets", it refers to the chirping of crickets, of little insect fame, that one notices when it is quiet. It implies that there will be no response, though a response would be appropriate.
Oh I guarantee it's going to happen. I think that (again) the felon will threaten to do something outlandish like invade Panama or Greenland which will tank the markets , and then he'll announce an agreement with China "the likes of which no-one has seen before". That's his game.
They're trying to figure out a way to make Xi look weak but Xi is going to call them out, like he does. So the usual ploys won't work on him.
I think if Elon can find another source of batteries for his Reichmobile the tariffs on China will stay.
I still don't understand how the billionaires and other too rich corporation owners are still supporting this. We are slashing our own throats. They are killing their companies.
That’s a conversation that I hope starts with Xi saying “listen President Felon.. cut this shit out! I’m not crazy insane like you. No one’s listening to you but I guarantee everyone is laughing at you!
China is no angel and has some shady practices . So wouldn’t it have made sense get your allies etc to put pressure versus alienating everyone and making Xi look good
It won't happen. Xi is ten steps ahead of Trump & is already making deals in Brazil, Africa, Canada. Xi also has total control of his population & Trump is a careless ignoramus who lives in a delusion that he is superior in every way...Trump has hurt us immeasurably. He MUST be impeached.
He's a coward. Scaredy cat isn't nearly enough to describe him and everyone who supports this BS. Not meaning to correct you in any way 😬, so please don't take offense. 😅
Meanwhile, every country will do business with the rest of the world, TARIFF FREE, bypassing Trump's tariffs. And America will be the ONLY country paying and charging tariffs. China and India will surpass the US as a global trader because Trump has now isolated America.
That's not quite true. There are tariffs on various goods already charged by many countries. However, the major issue is that the Orange Shitler's 4th Reich was looking to make insane increases in tariffs and all based on zero logic or economic sense. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_tariff_rate
It's based on his so-called "instincts". At most based on his whim at the time. If he is pissed at you, then 145% tariff. It's punitive. Where is this pot of tariff $? Put your faith in a convict. You know the one that declared bankruptcy several times.
They might not go away at all...why would china play ball after being insulted when they dont need our imports? This was a shot -AT US (non-rich)- by republicans.. they gave china the perfect excuse to trounce us in a trade war - trump started it, and they dont have to stop
MAGA is rooting for un-tarrifed Russia. The rest of the US is rooting for China, even though they're sending their troops into Ukraine under control of Putin.
I dont. He is in too deep & China has continued to drop a gigantic middle finger to Trump by raising their own tariffs, not to forget to mention the memes that the Chinese ppl are dropping just slaughtering Trump. The world doesn't care about Trumps overprivledge & we are gonna suffer cause of it
Oh yeah, the fake call, I’m sure it’s happening this weekend so that on Monday Diaper Don can say he worked all through the weekend for the American people.
There is a certain irony that communist China might have a hand in saving American democracy. Xi will not "kiss my ass" as he claims others have. And he has geopolitical cards to play as well.
Xi can hold out longer than congressional Republicans.
Any minute now. We all know he's trying to get China on the phone . He is begging them on his scaling knees. They will punish trump for this bullshit and trump will fake a victory. Look closely now his loss will be easy to spot.
Are you kidding nobody called I wish that they would say the prime ministers and whoever is in charge of those countries we never called him just to make a liar out of them
Makes sense. Billionaires don't want to see even a threat of losing their money.
But I was wondering how loud Xi was laughing when being asked to call Melonhead to make deal so the Bankruptcy King would look like the best deal maker & strong guy where even China capitulates.
Love that thought! I just read an article in a Singapore newspaper last night that says China has very little to fear from Twitler's tariffs. They know it's impossible to build at any reasonable price here, and that stuff made in the rest of Asia is generally more than 2x the price of Chinese
I'm wondering how places like Amazon are going to deal with China's reciprocal tariffs. Doesn't most of what people buy from Amazon come from China? Bozos can't like this.
Bezos won't like it but I don't think China cares. They know we can't buy the stuff they send for less than the tariffs price any way. That's why it's quite suspect that twitler keeps dwelling on these tariffs and China. Must be a new pump & dump in the works
As soon as all his MAGA fuckfaces get their brokers on the phone. He'll pull the trigger. He has to make sure all his billionaire pals make billions more. While the rest of us have our 401K drained. But nobody gives a fuck about that.
With him, he has to have some kind of “Win” even if it’s BS. He always has to come out looking like he made some kind of great deal so who knows how long this’ll last…
He will lie and say he talked to him.
Xi isn't gonna call him, but he might set the record straight and say trump never talked to him...?
Xi is so much smarter that the doofus, so that could be good or bad....they are already doing work-arounds from us, mainly brick and EU countries.
He (Xi) also seems to be the adult in the room. Pull your head out, Donnie. Not everyone is intimidated by your bullying and willing to lick your boots!!
It will take a week. This crazy tariffs will also have very negative consequences on the economy. The DOJ will go further down again when that sinks in.
Trump thinks in terms of US vs every individual country. But if China and all the others join together, US is screwed. It wouldn’t be surprising if China puts the squeeze on the US before Trump is forced to reverse course. But he’s already ruined our reputation and trustworthiness in the world.
Someone had said “Friday” for a big announcement and I thought it would be today. Where are those 7 senators who wanted to play ball and stop the madness? Maybe you’re right and it’s next Friday. The day of Jesus’ crucifixion. How appropriate.
They aren't for a long time unless Xi dangles those American bonds over his head. China is playing the long game. Per usual, f45 is just pushing the shiny buttons and trying to bully the world.
If I were Xi I would school Trump and the American public so that no one would ever dream of electing a mobbed up, gullible nit wit as president again.
The Dow apparently thinks that deals are bring made; it jumped up again today. Until Donald opens his yap and doubles down, the China tariffs might be lulled for a while.
Exactly. The big Orange Cretin & his Clown Show, has no idea of the consequences. They're going to find out what 'isolationism' really means in a modern trade world. These old white dinosaurs, including Putin,Trump & Netanyahu, etc, will eventually die out. Not a moment too soon for world stability.

When they say they will not give in, they will not give in. They’re not going to allow themselves to bullied, toyed with, or embarrassed.
They’ll let up when Trump comes pleading.

But we get news from China too.

Trump sees a few cents upward in change, racing straight back in. It's ok losing your own money, not when it is not yours,
As Kenny sang, you gotta know when to hold them, know when to fold them, knowing when to walk away.
Meanwhile, China will be posting memes that they gave their toddler an iPhone to soothe him.
The only real question is which direction will that shipment go?
Trump. You got me. You are a brilliant negotiator! There has never been someone to force a harder more fair deal than President Trump. I walked all over Biden" He said that, and I said "XI you have to start being fair to America"'

He is now positioned to replace us as the world’s leader in many domains- why would he change that?
But I think.trjmp will CLAIM that *he* told *them* to pound sand.
I think if Elon can find another source of batteries for his Reichmobile the tariffs on China will stay.
USA losing the weapon deals to Europe alone has got to sting!
Phones and computers now excluded.
Now every PM and CEO knows he's a scaredy-cat.

What tf happened to this country?!?
And not just callable, but callable by the HOLDER rather than the issuer?
There's no optionality. Neither the issuer nor the holder can say "I want to have or pay all the money now, please."

Xi can hold out longer than congressional Republicans.
Trump will be forced to kiss his ass instead.
It's frustrating that we can all see what he did, and nobody is going to do anything about it.
