The Trump Tariffs thread

[Brainonska511]

Even if you are ok with trumps economic policy, its implementation and the level of incompetence should at the very least be a concern and I don’t even hear a peep from the right.

If I recall the excuses they'll make: they're allegedly not hearing about these things and they're not required to read and post in every thread...

I thought it'd at least last till Friday.

Market manipulation is real! And to think Martha Stewart went to jail for insider trading.. but it put these guys in the White House

More stock manipulation from the career criminal Trump, and of course, no repercussion coming from the SEC which Trump has stacked with sycophants. Who makes money on Trump's flipping and flopping on tariffs? You don't turn tariffs on and off like a light switch like they are doing, with even a basic understanding of markets and how they react to such news.. This admin will go down as the most corrupt administration in U.S. history.

A crypto trader made over $160 million shorting Bitcoin and Ethereum before Trump announced 100% China tariffs on October 10. The crypto market lost $17 billion in leveraged positions within four hours following the tariff announcement" Order placed half hour before Trump's announcement. Corrupt insider trades made by someone with knowledge.

Trump stupidly tried to bully China and they are not playing his game.

This is the idiocy we ae dealing with here. Dementia Donnie slapped tariffs on China. China then stopped buying US agriculture products. Donnie wants to bail out the farmers with tariff revenue instead of removing the tariffs. Did I get that right? The absolute DUMBEST president in American history.

This administration seems to have solidly good sentiment and bad fundamentals. What could go wrong?

Tesla Presidency.

Trump's Tariffs are clearly unconstitutional. Republicans don't care. They refuse to do their jobs governing and instead allow Trump to trample on US law and the Constitution.

Trump tells his buddies and kids to short the market right before he makes a ridiculous 100% tariff announcement. China puts restrictions on rare earth exports and Trump goes ballistic. "How dare they? Only we can impose export restrictions!" Then he imposes yet more taxes on Americans.

So, Trump takes a steamy shit in the middle of the floor and leaves it there and claims he's only there to help. They can easily impeach him for insider trading/market manipulation enriching his crypto doners, but the majority of Republicans in congress sit on their hands and claim nothing to see here. When even MTG can connect the dots, you really have no excuse anymore.

One thing I don't get and I would love an explanation to, is why BTC dropped like a rock with the news of more trade turmoil? If BTC is supposed to be 'digital gold' surely it should have risen?

I think something more nefarious is going on.

Imagine this - you want to bribe someone with an extreme amount of money. So you accumulate a fairly large sum of BTC. On an agreed point in time, you sell your coins allowing the person you wish to bribe take a short position shortly before the sale time. Bonus points for timing the execution to Yet-Another-Trump-Tariff-Announcement. Its a win-win: 1) Although you have bribed someone, you didn't lose any, or much, money out of the deal. The market paid. And 2) everyone is pointing at Trump Family & Friends as the evil beneficiaries , whereas you just had a close PA/admin in the loop.
