I had a feeling this would happen.

[Lesh]

It isn't ideal for sure.

Master of the understatement.

It’s a disaster

 

[BluesLegend]

That's pretty much the size of it, and the usual suspects are siding with China.

There's no bigger ENEMY of the American worker than Democrats. They sell us out at every opportunity to line their own pockets.

There’s no bigger enemy of the American worker than Trump and those who support him… obviously

 

[Independent thinker]

Wait.........you don't really think what trump is doing will lead to the debt being paid off do you? If he was serious about it he wouldn't be proposing another massive tax cut.

No but democrats are on record as wanting to add tens of trillions of dollars onto the national debt we already have.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Incredible. A global embarrassment.

So that’s why Israel dropped their tariffs and the EU and 50 separate countries are now looking to cut a deal with us?

you took your medicine bud.

CEOs think the U.S. is ‘probably in a recession right now,’ says BlackRock’s Larry Fink​

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink said Monday that many business leaders believe the United States economy is already in a significant downturn.

“Most CEOs I talk to would say we are probably in a recession right now,” Fink said at an event for the Economic Club of New York.

“One CEO specifically said the airline industry is a proverbial bird in a coal mine — canary in the coal mine — and I was told that the canary is sick already,” Fink added.

The asset management executive also said that the he thinks the tariff policies of President Donald Trump could put upward pressure on inflation and make it difficult for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, as the central bank often does during recessions.

In the magical kingdom of trumpworld the stock market meltdown, a trade war, inflation, recession, trillions of dollars of lost wealth, global uncertainty causing a cap ex freeze, threats, perhaps permanent damage to exporters, a loss of faith in our reliability as a trading partner............anything that happens is worth the worldwide calamity the orange doofus has caused. Cuz he says so. Imagine that.

Fink is mad Trump stopped funding the Ukrainian Money Laundering Operation

 

[iamwhatiseem]

Incredible. A global embarrassment.

But China is okay with their retaliatory actions right?
You realize that almost all of the 50 nations have reached back to Trump to end tariffs outright.
Gee - what will you all do if this results in everyone getting rid of tariffs?
Cry in the streets?

 

[berg80]

How can the tariffed countries reasonably expect a rational negotiating position from the orange menace's lackeys when the tariffs announced last Wed. are based on horseshit?

[iamwhatiseem]

Over 50 countries have had tariffs on American made products for decades.

50 countries - "WHAAAAT??!! Tariffs will cause a global depression!!!! I can't believe this!!!! My God!!! Tariffs!!!???

Democrats - "YEAH!!"

I would not be surprised.

 

[Crepitus]

Because doin; the same damn thing over and over and expecting different results is the definition of insanity.

When did tRump try?

 

[berg80]

I would not be surprised.

I'm not sure the actual outcome of any negotiations matters much to the WH narrative. They'll claim victory no matter what happens and the rubes will believe every word of it.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

And yet, they'll still tell you they're "winning". And they'll say it no matter what happens. The Dunning-Kruger Effect lives on in the GQP.

Winning!!!

[ThisIsMe]

LOL So you're comfortable with other erecting barriers to our goods. The President and millions of others disagree

By other countries having tariffs on us, they already have barriers on our goods.

What happens if we do nothing at all?

How about we try deficits on their part for a while and see what happens

There will always be a trade imbalance with smaller countries.

 

[ThisIsMe]

Master of the understatement.

It’s a disaster

You'd have us do nothing? Status quo?
