US Tariff War

[KS55]

No Doubt the orange one will claim that it is Bidens fault!

Yeah, he had no control of the border and kept letting all those smart phones in.

looks like retailers and manufacturers built 6-8 weeks of supply/inventory, so unless somethings changes this will start to bite hard by end of May.

Just like they knew how to play the markets when he announced the tariffs.

Just realised, all those job losses and downgraded hours, those people can just take up the slack of those that have been deported or not entering the US anymore.

Feels a lot like Brexit.

He said the farmers could just sell their once exported produce at home. Hmm, more obesity not to mention additional farting from all those soya beans.

Synthesisers are now hundreds of dollars more expensive.

8bn global consumers have a lot of purchasing power, and refusing to buy products from US brands would have a catastrophic effect on US markets, and would force a change.

I'm presuming camera gear is going to go the same way.

I'm back over in the UK in a couple of weeks. I'll pick up some stuff there.

summer in the land of empty shelves and $1k per doz eggs will be a tinderbox

will Trump blink?

 

[halfcenturyup]

will Trump blink?

He'll blame it on Biden and then, when he inevitably reverses course, will call it a win and take credit in two years time for getting stock markets, employment and the economy back to where they were before all this shit happened. If he is lucky .....

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

will Trump blink?

One thing’s for sure, China won’t.

Trump saves the planet by cutting the number of delivery lorries and cargo planes.

Doing his bit for climate change…..
Which he tells his support, isn’t happening.

Someone is going to be disappointed either way.

So the extra extra tariffs on car exports and steel are gone, but the baseline 10% remains. Remind me, did we respond by putting a baseline 10% on all american imports?

 

[KS55]

We are so lucky to have the orange lunatic on our side.

Austin found out

Austin found out

And Austin would vote for Trump again. And again. And again. The problem isn’t that he did. The problem is that no matter what Trump is or does, he will always support him regardless. No lesson will ever be learned. No self-scrutiny of the decision process will be made. Until he says, “I fucked up and I won’t ever do it again”, the fact that he’s suffering for his vote now is irrelevant.
