Don't worry in another hour there will be a 15% baseline tariff on Canada, followed by 5%, then 0%, then 25%, then 55% unless Doug Ford stops talking mean about Donald, followed by a 95% tariff because Donald thinks Justin Trudeau is still the PM.

Just waiting for him to get confused and announce negative tariffs (the US government will pay you to buy the stuff) before leaping into the domain of complex numbers: (10+10i)% on Canada

As usual, Trump ends up basically where we started had he done nothing at all.

All the idiot had to do was nothing. Literally nothing. Had he done nothing we would have been better off than we are right now.

Actually incoming recession pretty soon because..

1. DOGE layoffs..
2. supply chain issues due to tariffs on China
3. loss of trust in US markets due to volatility
4. tech layoffs
5. loss of dependability on the US, leading to other countries making supply chains US proof.

Tariffs were the easiest to fix.. the storm is still coming though.
 
Trump is probably going through much pain. From realizing that he is now the laughing stock of the world. And by climbing down he is basically admitting that it was stupid to begin with. Imagine the beating his ego must be going through.

Wonder how many times he will go back and forth and reverse this. And provide the world with a clear definition of insanity.

I MAGA replied to me on YT "things are going great, you're lucky Kamala didn't win because things would be really bad under her"

I'm trying to imagine worse than this lol. I can only speculate how she would perform as president. But I don't see any possible way she would be doing worse at this moment.

That is nothing compared to the pain we're gonna feel.

Because unlike American MAGAtards that have an IQ of 0.175 the rest of the world is actually able to use their critical thinking to come to logical conclusions.

Most countries will use this 3 months to find new market supply chains anywhere except from the US.

Trump's saying fuck you lazy Europeans/ Canadians/ Japanese/ South Koreans/ Australians while gloating other countries were kissing his ass.. was the nail in the USA's economic coffin! He has single X'dly destroyed America's economy and it will take decades to fix.

Someone mentioned they think it's like a game vs npc's.. well guess what.. America just got infected with uncurable DoT spell. And it hasn't even ticked yet.. that's still to come!

So just like the rest of his life. If he'd taken all the money his daddy gave him and put it in a savings account he'd have far more money than he does now, after decades of swindling people and bankrupting casinos.

He wanted to be accepted by all the Manhattan snobs who shunned him because of his slumlord father. He thought if he just had a little more money maybe they would.

Hopefully back where we started, I got a little over half my losses back.

I was away from home all afternoon, dentist, doctor, etc., and had no idea anything had changed. I had AM radio turned on coming home and it was asshole Sean Hannity, he was claiming victory, and that this was what trump wanted all along. The master negotiator!

Really? Caving on DAY 1 of the tariffs, after China announces 104% tariffs?
Well played mr. president!

Tbh, I think whatever Trumps does on the economic, trade fronts are short term set-backs which will be reversed in 4 years with the next prez, whether repub or dem. So I dont necessarily see things as all doom and gloom. If it gets really bad before then, it will serve as a clear warning to the electorate to never elect a fucking moron into office ever again.

Everything being reversible in 4 months would be reversible domestically, there’s no way the rest of the world is trusting America after this when there’s a chance of having a leader that can reset all progress

I'm sure the billion dollars he made by knowing when the market was going to crash, and when it would recover, will comfort him.

I don't know. The world is not going to forget that America could just as easily elect another Trump. I don't think anyone is going to be trusting their investments in the US again. Honestly, I think we just saw the end of the US Dollar as a reserve currency.
 
In a month or two when everything goes to shit all these clips of admin figures taking a victory lap for only leaving things quite a bit worse off than a total catastrophe should get airtime.

Where would people invest? If you look at the biggest stock ETFs (going by fund size) according to justetf - they're almost all either S&P 500 or dominated by USA:

Even MSCI World is 68% USA as well.
