Buckle Up: What Trump Tariffs Mean For The U.S. Economy And Stock Market

[Luckyone]

We're still a 1,000 points higher than we were a year ago. moron

You are the moron. DOW on 4/4/2024 closed at 38596 and today 4/4/2025, it closed at 38314, that is 285 points lower. More importantly, on November 6th when Biden presidency was beaten, the DOW was at 43988 (a rally of 5388 points above 4/4/24 close, which is 13% rally and for Trump, it has been the exact opposite, meaning a 15.2% drop. That is a 28.2% difference against Trump, you blind idiot.

You're supposed to be a super-slick trader you should be getting fat off these drops.

I have made GOOD profits. Short A, AAPL and AXP for the last 6 weeks.

How much does being a paid troll make these days? Does it make up for all the money, the house and your kids inheritance you lost?

I have never been a paid troll. In fact, since 1987, I have been independent and the one paying me, has been myself. This shows how little you know. You are a misinformed idiot.

By my, very rough, estimate you've spent over 500 hours in here since you joined. And that's just posting, reading, responding, etc. That's more than almost anybody in here. Almost 7,000 posts in less than 6 Months? I figure minimum of 4-5 minutes per post not including just perusing

Fucking amazing. I can't touch that and I'm totes retired. Something about you smells bad. Like dead fish.

Could it possibly be because I am not only retired but physically handicapped and I spend almost all my time on the computer. Oh and by the way, I do have a subscription service for the stock and commodity market and I spend 16-20 hours a week writing a weekly newsletter and giving my subscribers updates throughout the week.

The thing is that I am a dedicated to my beliefs and to my talents person and not only do I do what I believe in, but enjoy doing so.

Making others see how biased, blind-by-choice, stupid and ass kissers people like you are, makes my day.

buh-bye troll

Bye bye idiot.,

The above information is but a sample of the article given here. This article is excellent, as far as giving non-biased data and information as to what Trump's tariffs are likely to do. I recommend you read the entire article.

One thing for sure, and is stated in this article and the section shown above, it that this is a "BLUNT instrument for curing those ills"

This is exactly what I have been saying all along. Trump is incompetent and makes mistakes that are very costly. Imposing tariffs on some products is not a bad idea. Imposing across the board tariffs on all nations and on all goods is a "Blunt instrument" that is idiotic and will cause more and unnecessary problems than any that it will fix.

Since day one, I have stated that TRUMP (as a person) will cause chaos and destruction of our nation, and the results of this tariff war will begin to confirm my evaluation of Trump

I have a hard time believing this is going to last long. The inflation domino effect would kill us. Trump is trying to get our former friends to blink to any degree so he can claim victory.

Surely someone close to him has told him. He's clueless, but someone around him has to know.

Stock market is off by less than 3% so far today. Nothing like Black Monday, October 19, 1987 when the Dow fell by 22%. (I had to look up the exact date and %). Our department manager had recently retired soon before and I heard that his retirement savings really took a bath.

At least this time we had advance warning. Now we see if tariffs work. Will companies invest in new plants, equipment (I'm not sure if needed foreign manufacturing equipment have been exempted from tariffs), and deal with hiring employees along with associated labor issues? Or will they take a wait-and-see approach gambling on the midterm election for the political climate to reverse?

We're in for an interesting time.

President McKinley quickly backed off on his. President Hoover signed the Smoot-Hawley tariff act in 1930. The GOP failed to control either house of congress for the next 60 years.

This is truly going to MAGA!

It means bad economic news for 75% of voters.

How come they're not working class?

You didn’t address my point about the NAFTA deal that Trump signed in his first term. How was that ripping us off and how was that anybody else’s fault besides Trump if it was

Do yourself a favor and don’t try and describe other peoples logic. Makes you sound like a fool.

You have not addressed Democrats driving America last policy on economics. Why do you keep your head in the sand and allow other countries to take advantage of us?

Describing lib logic would make anybody look foolish… That’s kind of the point…hahaha.

No one is saying that tariffs are bad. What I am saying in that "Trump's blunt approach is going to cause more problems than it solves"

Tariffs need to be put on with great detail on some products, so those products (and the nation behind those products) are protected. That is what other nations have done and that we should do.

This blanket approach is like "killing weed by destroying the entire garden".

Trump is not applying the same tariffs to every nation so your 'blunt' assertion fails in the face of actual facts. Trump didn't even raise tariffs to the same height as some other nations. Why do you spread lies?

His logic has lead to tariffs on penguins and none on Putin.

Trump thinks he can get a better deal. Usmca is set to be renegotiated 2026.

Now to my point of Democrats putting America last. Why is that? How is that anybody's fault but yours?

Well keep in mind, it was under the watchful eye of the beltway politicians Democrat and Republican alike who allowed China to enter the WTO and then eat our lunch, buying up all our machinery and stealing our trade secrets and imposing their will over us to enrich their nation.

They also stood by as our European allies who we helped to rebuild after WW2 also repayed their debt to us by keeping tariffs on our products as well as refusing to pay their UN dues. And the U.S. has become a dependent country now.... politicians only saying that Americans really dont want to work any more.. industry can never return again.. blah blah

all of this happened under the watchful eye of the "responsible" politicians. None of them could care less until now.. only paying lip service. Do we all notice that? I sure do. And we rewarded them year after year by re-electing them... because they keep up with thier lines of B.S. to make the special interest groups happy.
Those "responsible" people are the reason Trump decided to run for president in the first place.
