CHAIT: “Nobody is going to invest in building new factories .. unless they’re certain that the tariffs .. will stay in place. (They’re probably not going to do it anyway, in part because they don’t know who will be president in four years ..)

Other than ME!ME! ME!
Everyone knows that and are preparing to deal with it for the next 4 years if necessary.
Probably could have remained a leader, but it appears, without rapid policy reversal, the world can't allow that now, it's too risky.
Demand Action!
Naive of them to assume that Trump won't just invoke emergency powers to stay in office
They think that they have found God.
Absolute Incompetent Administration.
Absolutely No Accountability.
Absolute Worthless Twats.
Fight Fascism with everything you have.

There’s investments that make sense w/ tariffs at 20+% & investments that make sense w/o them. If businesses guess wrong in either case it could cause pain for them for decades.
So instead. Businesses will do nothing.
Even Ben Shapiro just recently talked MASS shit about the tariffs.
You can't fuck wit everyone and their money and expect subservience and obedience.
ESPECIALLY if you fk with rich people's money who aren't apart of your inner circle....
Especially since China, the EU and Canada will be realiating which could add more pressure to reverse them.
Better dead than red!
courts will hold it up since internal disturbance is basically guaranteed
On top of the fact that our former allies will never trust a trade agreement with us.
Trump has poisoned the well for decades.
this silliness is so blatant and directly affecting them that alot are slowly waking up. Even the biggest dk rider Ben Shapiro just snapped recently and talked shit about the tarrifs

LOL who tf gonna be on the other side??!
The OTHER poor folk who got fired from the VA? Or their post office job? 🧵
Wait until the backstabbed unstable Trumplicans wake up to class conscienceness.
That 1% number gonna take on a DIFFERENT MEANING soon..
Trump is demented enough now, can you imagine him 6 years from now?

This is a worldwide pay to play scam
Also, people in the US will be too poor to buy your products AND there is no hope that you can sell overseas.
Just keep playing this in repeat... crazy how this "magic tariff" came about... just idiots the entire lot of them
But, I'll bet the rich are mad-purchasing all those crashing shares...
Businesses just lost alot of money

Despite being INVENTED in the USA, IC chip mfg was offshored to other countries to be cheaper. Biden got it started again by working WITH mfrs to make it cost-effective and beneficial for ALL.
Biz news, all news let us down bigly.
Hell, I remember the crowded GOP field in '16.
Each cand. got 1 min on @cnbc when announcing.
Trump, an nbc employee at the time gets 17 min. I counted.
Assuming Trump is dead, Donald Jr will inherit the dictatorship
Wages for workers are THE critical matter—even much more than the comparative lightness of industrial regulation.
Simply, US workers cannot, in the 21stC, work for the wages of Asian counterparts.
But yeah. America doesn't have a factory-ready workforce.
