  1. Or rather they initially reacted to headlines from legit news that repeated White House spin that there was a “pause” on tariffs. The current sell off reflects actual conditions - perhaps if media reported facts instead, people would be better informed
  2. That’s probably the least surprising result of electing Trump. We’re allies now
  3. They didn’t avoid the fucking tree! They still are declaring 10% tariffs on everyone, 124% or something stupid on all imports from China and all tariffs on materials like lumber, steel and aluminum. The way the markets and people are talking about this minor pause like it’s a total reversal is driving me fucking nuts. We. Aren’t. Out. Of. The. Woods. I don’t care what the Dow did. Businesses are still fucked.
  4. This combined with breaking the SSA will absolutely result in people dying. We’ve been telling them they were in a death cult and now they get to live it out. Probably like those who were surprised to die of covid, by the time they have any regrets it will be too late
  5. That tweet says we are flirting with a true crisis. Oh the crisis is here. We’re flirting with collapsing of the most stable currency in the world bc our President is a fucking moron who doesn’t understand economics
  6. A follow up here. We actually have a trade surplus with Australia and yet are going to tariff all imports from Australia at 10%. If it’s not about tariff rates or even trade deficits- then the Answer is what Trump says: he thinks tariff revenues can replace the need to have an income tax and also that the tariffs are never going away
  7. You don’t have it right. Vietnam purportedly offered to go zero out tariffs and Navarro claimed the administration rejected the offer because it didn’t address “non-tariff” ways in which it was “cheating”. By which he means that we have a trade deficit There is no off ramp
  8. I mean we can laugh about it but the Nazis were fucking clowns too. Hell, the Supreme Court just gave Trump the legal grounds for “if we deport you to a foreign slave labor prison before you can get a lawyer, you’re fucked” They decide who “enemies” are and you have no realistic chance for judicial review. That’s where we are now. Given that the IRS will now share data with DHS - mass deportations to concentration camps ran by private prisons is next. Things are very very dark
  9. DOGE is the deep state. They are imbedded throughout government, ran by a foreign billionaire, and they alone control who the government pays, or what services get rendered- laws and Congress be damned. They created a deep state
  10. Oh that’ll be DC’s problem. What? GOP slashed DC’s budget by $1billion? lolol oops what a hell hole amirite?
  11. He’s probably got sock accounts
  12. It’s intentional. They are trying to break it because they don’t have the votes to destroy it
  13. Yeah, it was called the CHIPS act and it was fucking working
  14. Shorter UTEE:
  15. Aren’t we already taxing all imports from China at 54%? So 104%.
  16. Yes. The king is mad and dug in. Honestly Congress taking away the tariff button isn’t enough. He needs to be removed from office
  17. This is being refuted by the White House and the little market rally off this made up headline is being obliterated
  18. He literally believes that a trade deficit means the US is losing money. Wharton should retract his degree because surely no one with that degree would say something so stupid… and yet This is Trump: And Congress and businesses are too cowardly to do any damn thing about it. I know I’m repeating myself but this is all just so fucking dumb
  19. Maybe billionaires who are wholly insulated from consequences for crashing the economy shouldn’t be running government. This is all just so fucking dumb
  20. If Putin himself was in control of the presidency- can someone tell me something that would be different than what is happening right now? How long will Congress permit this insanity?
  21. Just the stupidest way to run a country
