US Tariff War

Dax777 said:
If Mexico, Canada and the US enter a tariff war. Both. Mexico and Canada will be severely worse off than the U.S. even though all 3 will feel the effects.
If one is being altruistic, you'd say the America first President doesn't want Americans suffering from his actions, if you are being calculating ( which I am) you'd conclude he doesn't want the inflationary effects of a tariff war to hurt his popularity ( and by extension his agenda).

So if he can get Colombia, Mexico and Canada to cave to his demands without having to go through that war, that's what he'd rather do.

Its not that complicated. What many here are pretending, is that oh he didn't get any concessions, just what they already planned to do. This is just laughable 'Cope.'

In my humble opinion of course, i understand that @lloydie amongst others disagrees :)

It's a grift. See prev post re Darkpool exchanges.
 
The stupidest trade war in history folded in a single day as stock markets plunged - and Trump misleadingly claims victory for "concessions" from Mexico and Canada - where in fact - no such concessions occurred. Troop deployments/border crackdowns Trump cited as concessions were in fact previously agreed prior to the tariffs.

It’s popcorn for four years chaps.

Popcorn smothered in powdered Valium.

The saddest thing is, we too will pay the price for those Trump voting morons. There’s an old economic axiom, When America sneezes, Europe catches cold. I actually think that in the long run, being run into the ground, by Facist Christian’s, might render those horrible cunts as disastrous and they move slightly to the left and sense prevails.

What am I thinking. It’s Americans, half of them are bible bashed, malleable, hate somecunt, moronic cunts. And that’s the better ones.

It’s all about the ‘American Dream’.

‘Coming to America’ is no longer an option. Unless you’re extremely rich.

You'd have to be very rich to think it was a good idea. I'd rather live in Moldova than live in small town USA where the local population is all descended from a few families in which individuals have more bullets than IQ points.
 
How the fook does that work, the yanks probably invest more in China than anyone else. After all, who's going to manufacture all their goods. Certainly ain't uncle sam, they're all unfit, coke swilling, piazza eaters.

To be fair, many in Moldova may be the same.

Like here, many are feeling the pinch, and vote accordingly.

We don’t all understand the complexities of countries policies, and that’s why we try to understand it on here. We may all butt heads, but only because we cannot get around what certain countries policies are.

Others, they’re just wind-ups.

I don't think this will end at four years Magic.

I don't believe this is a four years and have an election to choose another president situation, those days have gone. Democracy in the US as we know it today is a thing of the past.

They have got this far and they will not give it up now. I believe Trump is the figurehead and there are more behind this than a handful of billionaires. They are only just starting to find their feet, just wait until they have had more time and become emboldened to do exactly what they want.......more so than they do now.
Who in the US is going to stop them, anybody?

He's been in power for days and there is a total disregard for the law, they control it. They control much of the media. The bullying of Mexico and Canada was just a sign of what is to come, Greenland as well and soon to be the EU, they're just testing the waters.

The US people were sold a bag of spanners and have now let the genie out of the bottle. They'll reap what they sow, but it won't be just them feeling the consequences, unfortunately it will be global.

This 'dictatorship' won't work in the long run, but the damage it will cause along the way will take a long time to repair, both in the United States and throughout the world.

If nothing else, it should be a wake up call for world leaders, although I suspect it's all a bit too late.

DING DING DING!!

Futures crash, options made, “good discussion,” 30 day reprieve, LOTS OF “HIDDEN” MONEY TAKES A LAP, “Oh, did you see what happened to Bitcoin?!”

Nice little round trip! Money on the way down, money on the way up…but I’m sure Lutnick, Bessent and Trump never mentioned it to anyone! Positive that would never happen!

When you own the keys to both the money and the guardian of the money, you own everything!!

FBI, what FBI?!!!
Consumer Financial Protection? Let’s put MY MAN in charge of that, too!
USAID? That’s Congress! No problem, we’ll sweep it under Sec State Rubio’s rug!

Nothing to see here. MOVIN’ ON….
