The Trump Tariffs thread

[Jaskalas]

This make me think... what if US starts to lose the crown of the comsumption thanks to Trump's antics, diminishing the biggest consumer market tag they have?

Whether we remain #1 or not, the fact is we are already rapidly diminishing in economy under Trump.
The United States is too hostile and too unstable to be a reliable trade partner. The damage is done, but like a Tsunami - it will take time before it comes onshore.

Amid Trump's tariff tirade, India pauses $3.6 bn Boeing jet deal​

I wonder why Trump doesn't just do it the right way, go to Congress, get a bill passed and sign it into law. Just as the framers intended. He has majorities in both houses, use them. Quit relying on unconstitutional unilateral executive orders that use fake "emergencies."

Unless he knows he won't get the votes

All I know is if Biden claimed prescription drug prices were down “1500%” MAGA would scream for an investigation into his mental acuity

He was put there to try and get the unitary executive government off the ground.

If he did that how would he get individual companies and the countries they reside in to bribe him?

Ok, this is pretty bad. Makes me think if Trump's antics ends damaging Mid East too, which has deals with some countries.

PAC money + Citizens United + corrupt SCROTUS =Criminal in Chief

It seems like the markets are convinced the courts and/or taco will prevail?

Then they're pretty stupid. The top court is showing that it is perfectly happy to be completely partisan and subservient to Trump and Co.

Apparently NVIDIA is very happy to turn a blind eye to exports to China. Doesn't look too good for them ethically but very good monetarily.

Jensen's probably going to have bribe the Trump administration some more to keep on doing this..

1/ Trump's recent trade agreements with allies are revealing significant interpretation gaps. From Japan to South Korea to the EU, these deals lack formal documentation, creating ongoing disputes over fundamental terms.

Look at that - all the "deals" are just vibes. Turns out trying to do intercountry negotiations without any paper trail or signed agreements means you don't have any agreements.

And with the dangers of Trump just eliminating this one day...

Meanwhile...
We talked about this new?

Trump order ends global tariff exemption for low-cost goods

The de minimis exemption had allowed goods valued at $800 or less to enter the US without paying any tariffs.

Heck, Trump just want to screw all the consumers by any cost, I don't be surprised if when Trump sees that the 2nd hand commerce starts to get great numbers, puts an end to the 2nd hand commerce.

I think he doesn't understand anything that he's doing. He just thinks everything in economics is zero-sum, and if you're not winning, you're losing. It's extremely simplistic and wrong.
