At this point in my life, I like stability, not chaos. Sigh.

Exactly, it’s part of what makes America great. Our standard of living affords us this surplus.

Zero for zero has been EUs position on cars for a while (but not airplanes) von der Leyen said the offer was made “long before” Trump’s latest tariff announcement and “repeatedly, for example, in the automotive sector.” She stressed that the EU has long gone “zero for zero with other countries”

This is how they will walk back the ridiculous tariffs www.axios.com/2025/04/06/t...

For manufacturing to come and stay, the tariffs must be permanent … and stagnation and inflation too. www.axios.com/2025/04/06/t...

Take away the prisoner’s dilemma problem that unilateral action created and stop waiting for adjudication. Quick action.

Reality is so much stranger than fiction

It’s not even that! They say these things to get more subscribers saved followers and make money themselves!

I think it’s just easier to say it’s not diplomacy but a mafia style demand

It’s not about anything except being in the “winning” tribe.

Just like arms sales, I bet the same folks are seeking both sides 😀

Import taxes on all countries big and small … but not Russia? www.bbc.com/news/article...

For real? That’s what he means by tariff rate? And what about if there’s a surplus? Negative rate?

Can someone explain what happened here? apple.news/AvsU-p8x_RIe...

He is serious. But is this also a way to get the news cycle to move on past illegal use of Signal?

Isn’t this a “tax”?

Hopefully not just scripted posturing www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I think this has been the plan along to grow Tesla purchases? www.cnn.com/2025/03/29/b...

Yup, this is real www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...

I think we know who is going to buy these federal lands and make a huge profit … www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Interesting, had no idea this was part of his strategy. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/03...

Can this be true? www.azcentral.com/story/opinio...

For all the Atlas Shrugged fans, is this the libertarian ideal? Tariffs and hurt for all unless you kiss my ring? And are we going to create loopholes and exceptions in the tariffs to make it as complex and convoluted as the tax regime?

Brilliant border control! Wall of measles.

Seriously, right? Where was the dress code enforcement police then?

Exactly. What, you didn’t believe he was going to do what he said he was going to do? www.yahoo.com/news/endorse...

We’re back to the colonial era. Peace in Ukraine, but neither Ukraine nor its neighbors at the negotiating table. And the colonizer gets all the natural resources forever.

Do we think he’s serious about this? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
