This is ridiculous, can the administration decide on a message between “we’re doing infinity percent tariffs to hard decouple from China” and “No one thinks the China tariffs are sustainable and wants them to remain”

It seems like Roberts was trying to avert a Rubicon moment by delivering the only legally possible conclusion in the Abrego Garcia case in a sort of soft-pedaled way that allowed Trump to save face & claim a partial win while “graciously” complying. That has obviously backfired.

Poilievre is saying that unless we do consecutive sentences for multiple murders, you get “4 years of jail time per murder.” “That’s insane” he says. It’s actually a lie. They don’t get out. They get a hearing, and the murderers he’s talking about don’t get parole in Canada. He’s rage-farming.

It feels like whenever there is a touch of pushback on a tariff target, it gets rescinded or given an exemption. Feels like it’s all just a matter of time…which isn’t a bad thing, poorly and overly broad tariffs are bad…but this is bonkers

Alright, I think people knew of the tariff pause and traded it beforehand. You can see before Trump posted "buy" on Truth Social, traders opened $QQQ $TQQQ and $SPY calls RIGHT BEFORE THE NEWS, someone opened $SPY 509 calls, expiring TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Those calls are up 2100% in one hour.

Per CNBC: White House is now saying EU will not be punished for their retaliation because it hadn't gone into effect yet. So they only get the 10% baseline tariff. That excuse just tells you in black and white how much they've contorted themselves in order to back the fuck off this poor strategy.

If you weight 2024 imports by the 10%/"reciprocal" tariff amount announced last Wednesday (with China at 54%, Mexico/Canada at 0%), the total tariff rate would have been 21%. Today, with China at 125% and Mexico/Canada at 10% along with ~everybody else, the rate is 26%.

Starting to think that we should sort out a general agreement on trade and tariffs, perhaps housed under some sort of world trade organization. Let's keep the region strong with some kind of of north american free trade agreement. Perhaps a trans pacific partnership could soften China's influence.

Markets are experiencing Stockholm Syndrome right now but at some point the real world will have to reckon with the fact that 10% universal tariffs plus 125% tariffs on China (and maybe the EU?) and sector tariffs on steel, aluminum, lumber, and pharmaceuticals are still a huge problem

Not sure I could buy a green open. Expect a market that is super thin and and jumpy with a continuation of wild swings fueled by rumors. Trumpers are desperate to change the narrative so I expect a lot of “had a great call with” nonsense headlines. Good luck!

Brexit wasn't anywhere near on the same scale but this does feel like it has the same enraging quality of making you want to go "I mean we could just....not? we could not do that? how about we simply don't, then line goes up again?"
