The only thing that would actually make this perfect is us standing behind him getting sprayed too because that's exactly how Tariff work we get f*****
Exactly. 25% of billions in trade going into coffers Elon has engineered. If we don’t start looking at the stark reality of what’s going on they will be successful at their takeover. They are attacking on multiple from their projects 2025 plan that Russell Vought will be in charge of implementing.
It’s the implementation of project 2025. The attack is on multiple fronts meant to overwhelm government agencies, courts and the American public. They have unleashed termites into every level of society. Federal abortion ban will be next. Already working to ban the abortion pill.
These frightening behind-the-scenes right-wing radical Christian billionaire Neanderthals have been writing a very detailed plan since before 2020. And now is is being carried out, allegedly at Trump's behest. But Trump's a demented idiot, none of this is his except for his individual revenge plots.
SFRJ used to have import/export tariffs but they literally produced everything themselves as a public goods and services. From medications to trains. It was one of top 10 richest countries in a world until pres Tito died and few nationalist oligarchs decided to spread the hate and purge the goods.
The only reason his beloved stock market is not collapsing is because there is so much uncertainty that some people are pricing that he will back down on tariffs before Tuesday's implementation.
Yeah, and the Fed Chairman has already paused a planned rate cut.
Looks like the "soft landing" may not be so soft.
Sorry, but air safety shouldn't be alluded to right now.
In the four quarters to the end of Q3 2024, the UK had a trade in goods surplus of £1.9 billion with United States, compared to a trade in goods deficit of £1.0 billion in the four quarters to the end of Q3 2023.
Indeed! Ultimately tariffs don't hurt the economy as much as hurt individuals and corporates within economies as it's the end consumer who ends up paying the tariff as part of a products final selling price! Tariffs do have a place in ensuring your domestic economy thrives rather than importing.
25% tariffs on stuff you *have to* import is not a smart move. The thing is, if the US economy is hit, Trump and the MAGA mafia won't feel the pain. Others will. In the US and abroad.
I was going to say this exact thing, it should be 45 pissing out from the airplane, and hitting a bunch of us (including some Foreign Nationals from other Countries).
If the US economy is collapsing from tariffs and possible payment defaults caused be DOGE they're basically pissing at the world. But that might actually hit them back.
They've already wasted a lot of the U.S. money by trying to deport illegals (and the ones' they think "are")...and making us in more debt by giving the rich more cuts...at this point, the next President in line is so royally FUCKED...Imagine all of the trash and shit that needs to get cleaned up 🤦🤦
Honestly, I'm seriously hoping that NATO actually does shit, or SOMEONE in POWER, but one can only hope at this point...why is it that it's up to us Citizens to protect this (lack thereof) "Democracy"?! Where the Hell was our Congressppl at when Jan6th hit this time around?!
Yep, very important distinction. Only him and his cronies knew the actual plan in order to confidently short the market. For the rest of us it's overwhelming chaos. We live in an oligarchy plain and simple.
Cut taxes for billionaires! Sir, that will dramatically increase government debt Congress won't allow it. OK so slash government spending on everything, then increase tariffs on all our major trading partners to increase the tax take for the government. Now we cut the taxes on billionaires.
I certainly believe wealthy people must pay their fair share of taxation but the more you tap wealthy people the more inclined they are to simply remove their money from your domestic economy entirely!
Switzerland and Luxembourg are countries known as havens for the wealthy. Yet they have surprisingly high taxes on wealth and much less taxes for the middle class than other highly developed countries.
It's far harder to tax exports which is why taxation on import/exports tends to be at the receiver/importers end as having likely paid for the item and its shipping is far less likely to refuse to pay tax when of course the item is usually held by customs until it's paid! It's also near...
Why on earth would you cut taxes for the most wealthy on the planet! I'm sure you wrongly assume taxing the wealthy raises money yet in reality the wealthiest often have greatest financial mobility and can merely offshore their finances resulting in no tax income from them!
You are giving him too much credit, they showed him money, he is told what to do and bias no clue what’s really going on, he doesn’t care as long as they get revenge for him.
He and his cronies will bet/hedge against the US economy and further enrich themselves. He knows they would be tariff retaliation - is his plan to destroy the economy and try something darker? All is on the table with #Trump
The problem being from our perspective that we fear he will blame us for everything from intercity crime to the creation of DEI, declare it as an act of war, and then invade.
Really though, let's look at the far more likely way this is going to play out. Along with all the political 3 card monte that Trump has been tossing out since December is this once laughable but now unavoidable insistence on Canada being annexed by the US. With a concurrent discussion 1>
covering both the Panama Canal and Greenland. Then, the camouflage that has been the tariff threat. Fast forward to J20 and the inaugural address. Again, the nonsense,again the duplicity regarding fentanyl deaths and illegals, and again with the tariffs. All neatly tied up with the closing 2>
remarks, including not so subtle references to Manifest destiny, and a promise that America is going to grow and expand like never before. With not so subtle references to Panama,Greenland, and Canada. Now we have the first 10 days in office. A myriad of executive orders gutting DOJ, setting 3>
the stage for the tariff threat this time with a set enactment date of Feb 1. Again, more ongoing waxing for Canada as the 51st state. Now we arrive at this past weekend. Where we have the shock and awe attack on the FBI. Multiple senior administrators dismissed. Interdepartment memos from the 4>
His & Project 2025 shortings will likely by somewhat mitigated by the "timeouts" or "auto-halts" that many markets now have so it may have to be measured in the number of those that occur during say, a week???
The master businessman. He's bankrupted multiple businesses and defrauded so many people and companies. Now he wants to do it to a whole continent because he's pissed.
Unfortunately, nothing has blown back in his face. His wealth has increased 10 fold since taking office and our institutions are burning at a rate faster than California. The only ones to suffer will be the most vulnerable.
If we survive this, it will take decades to recover from the damage.
He lost that case a few days ago and isnt putting his hand in his (supporters) pocket to pay his legal bills. Quelle surprise as they say in some parts of canada.
Trump only obeys those rulings that back him. He is a felon and is acting as if he is a dictator. Will no one in Congress and the Courts stand up to this demon?

Please don't just share on this forum. Tell your reps in DC what you think. Resist. It only takes a few minutes and best of all..it doesn’t cost any money.
We don’t need money in politics. We just need people to participate.
Aren't American companies massively exploiting the economy by making "Canadian" companies that are however led by Americans, and when those companies file patents Americans get ownership of them making it hard for Canada to produce anything domestically without their approval.
I’ve already written to all of our grocery chains to take all products off the shelves that are American made. We aren’t going to buy them so best to have Canadian and eu products that will on that shelf space.
We don't have any allies now...If Putin, Rocket Man, or Xi invaded us, the US is it's own..Every country said if he leaves NATO there is no hope for the US. They refuse to protect us.
The US has no leadership at all.
I'm not buying a damn thing that I don't absolutely have to for the next 4 years. When I do have to buy something I'm going to thrift stores, flea markets and yard sales if possible. I'm growing a garden, raising a few chickens for eggs, bartering with my neighbors for goods and services.
Someone who wants to destroy your economy so they and their rich friends can buy it at fire sale prices. Start raging against this. Ffs, America, it’s time to fight to save yourselves.
The kind of idiot who admires dictators & wants to be one, and who doesn't like liberal democracy and therefore has a natural contempt for the democracies that are our allies. That kind of idiot.
Someone deliberately trying to poison the Western alliance and create economic chaos to justify partnering with pariah state actors like Russia and China…
Cruelty is the point.
Sadly, #Democrats aren't taking advantage of the chaos to remind people that this is what they voted for and they are about to pay a steep price.
Bud that is way too fuckin funny I'm stealing that 😂🤣
Plenty of local MAGAts on Facebook that will get all kinds of butt hurt over that it will be great 👍
The bottom line is that tariffs load up the Treasury with cash. Trump loves tariffs because they "...make a lot of money." While the US Treasury's loaded, the plan's to create a blockchain, comingle it with crypto & rob us.That's it.
He probably likes golden showers. He's sick.

Companies pass the cost to the consumer via higher prices
Who keeps track of the influx of cash to the government?
Is Elon and his engineers hiding where this 25% of billions of dollars are going?
They know what they are doing
Feel like we've entered the Twilight Zone, 1933 Germany.
It should show him pissing on the American companies and workers.
Looks like the "soft landing" may not be so soft.

lets get a skinny short putin pissing into a fan
I wish the king was crimson. Is Trump the 21st century schizoid “man”?
Also, you can tax capital export.
If one more Maga supplicant ass licker says he’s a great businessman. I’m going to seriously loose my shit. 😳
