Trade War

Fox News is out with a poll saying American's support Trump's actions during the tranisition. Look closely though, the data was collected in JANUARY 4-10, 2025. Has anything changed since January????

Over the weekend Bill #Ackman, a hedge-fund billionaire who has been one of Trump’s most vocal supporters, suddenly turned on his champion, declaring on X that:

“Since winning re-election, Mr. #Trump’s retribution campaign has turned out to be far more expansive, efficient and creative than anticipated. It has also been less reliant on the justice system.”

Is anyone else as offended as I am by this clown of a Treasury Secretary taking the position that you can’t anticipate whether markets will go up or down, when he’s being asked a question about his imposition of the most devastating tariffs in the history of the modern world? #bessent

Bloodbath on international stock markets; more losses to come in the US

Shares of 'Big 3' Japanese banks plunge Shares of the three biggest Japanese banks have plunged by more than 12% in Monday trading. Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Mizuho Financial Group and Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group added to losses seen last week.

More market pain likely

“Trump said foreign governments would have to pay "a lot of money" to lift sweeping tariffs that he characterized as "medicine," as financial markets indicated another week of steep losses could be in store.” - Reuters

“Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump indicated he was not concerned about market losses that has already wiped out nearly $6 trillion in value from U.S. stocks.” - Reuters

Companies like Nike won’t bring factories to US. And Americans will face higher prices. #Trump #Tariffs

Following the 2016 attempted coup in Turkey, there have been concerns raised about the mass prosecution and mistreatment of lawyers, with some being arbitrarily detained and facing unfair trials, which has raised international criticism

These law firms get it. The only way forward is collective resistance. Otherwise, you suffer the fate of Turkey’s lawyers.

“Even as markets crash and the first shots of a trade war ring out, Trump devotes extra hours to the golf course. No president has ever been so inventive in finding ways to shoot America in the foot. Brace yourself for more.” -The Economist

Will Trump’s trade war cause a global recession? - The Economist

It was obvious to anyone not captured by phony tribal allegiances and wish-casting analysis that Trump’s second term would bear no resemblance to his first, when he was constrained by the serious people around him. It was clear it would be Laura Loomer all the way down.

One implication of this account: Waltz was using his personal cellphone (highly insecure!) for the Signal text chain. One has to assume foreign intelligence services have had access to all sensitive and classified intelligence during the second Trump term. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
