How did the US (initially) decide on how large or small the tariffs should be for each country? More Or Less explains the bonkers formula behind it all (first story). https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0029q4p
You are amusing.
Biden was handed a Post-COVID inflation that the world had.
He brought it down thru his actions.
Trump was handed inflation below 3%, strong job market, solid stock market, GDP, business/consumer outlook, etc.
He managed to FK it all up in just 3 months.
Amazing.
thanks for the clarification
with the few straggling MAGA's on here - who have yet to figure out the Bluesky is not an easy place for them - I thought you could be one of the rare nutters
apologize for the confusion

Is it me or is almost every single elected Republican and Fox pundit constantly mentioning a certain stupid book “written” by their Dear Leader? On top of everything, they are now shilling for his damn book.
The White House has revised its reports that over 75 countries have called begging to re-negotiate the tariffs. It turns out that most of those calls were prank calls made by penguins.
Trump, medically, has narcissistic personality disorder and is possibly a psychopath. Sometimes people call this a ‘disordered’ personality. This is good shorthand because he has a disorganized, childish way of going about things replete with mind changes and rash decisions.
Pay those funky tariffs, white boy
Pay those funky tariffs right
Pay those funky tariffs, white boy
Lay down your money and pay those
funky tariffs 'til you die
It’s the only Federal tax money he has the sole power to create and collect. He alone dictate its existence for use by the federal government. Having tariff money he can take away from the government whenever he wants gives him leverage over congress. It’s way deeper and more scary than most realize
IN ITS INFINITE WISDOM CHINA CHOSE TO OUTSMART THE amer ich can dummy....Now mr stupid , next move is yours...No more Earth Minerals , Oil or LNG for usa....now what , Ya Big Dummy ?
You forgot China. Ben Thompson of Stratechery says that the PRC did not expect the new US govt to start shooting off their feet so quickly so they are still modeling their responses. When your counter-party is taken aback by how stupid your are being, you are being very, very stupid.
Is there an actual reason why your military hasn't frog marched this motherfucker out of office and started some big, beautiful Nuremberg style trials?
Okay, I know why they haven't, but as a Canadian asking makes me feel better.
According to Article 2 of the Constitution of the United states CONGRESS can End TRUMP. but sadly the party of Criminals and traitors, which got him in office... Won't
So can the Vice President and a majority of his criminal cartel cabinet. But they won't.
This on-again, off-again tariff related madness on Wall Street has some analysts clamoring for a new market technical indicator:
The Presidential Bedside Indicator (PBI) - A highly volatile, mood-sensitive technical indicator based on which side of the bed POTUS gets up on each morning! 📈📊📉

Worst of both!
No matter which way you try to sugar coat it
The UK view is unchanged
“Trump is a cunt”
Even the police here agree
I was practicing the British art of extreme sarcasm
We invented it as a comedic tool

America should not be the garment factory of the world. Is that what we want for our children?
Reducing funding for #education, #R&D, and encouraging science skepticism is 100% the wrong way to go.

(Similar to how Hitler wrote “Mien Kampfe” while in a Prison Hospital after being attacked by Mustard Gas during WWI…)
If there was a run on the national debt, what would that do to the dollar?
Okay, I know why they haven't, but as a Canadian asking makes me feel better.

What about small businesses, farmers, fishermen, and others who can’t afford to play in the D.C. Swamp?
Can you say corruption?
