Trump: "5% tariffs for everyone!"
Idiots: "Booo! If I had a 401k, it would be down now!! Booo!!!"

Trump: "Fine then, 200% tariffs for everyone! And this time I mean it!"
Idiots: "BOOOOO! My switcheroo is priced higher now!!"

Trump: "Fine, 10% tariffs for everyone. Except China, 125% for you!"
Idiots: "YAY!!! Trump folded!! We won!!!"

Wait a second. This is fucked. Even if the 125% tarrifs on China stay they'll do that proxy thing where they export to other countries for lower tarrifs.
TRUUUUUUUUUUUUMP.

There's a reason those countries got targeted with the highest tariffs aside from China. Trump is well aware of that situation.

Recessions are a myth

Did china fuck up on purpose or is this something that china didn't expect. I can't tell. If they didn't retaliate, tariff would have stuck.

Goldman: "... we are reverting to our previous non-recession baseline forecast with GDP growth of 0.5% and a 45% probability of recession..."

Less than three hours ago, a bunch of you faggots were talking about how the elites needed to pay for COVID lockdowns, but now that Trump and his inner circle have gotten their choice pickings of cheap stock, he backs down from the tariff talk and all of the sudden, "I-it's all part of the plan! You just can't comprehend his genius." So which is it? Do you want the blue bloods to bleed or are you suddenly super cool with rich insiders manipulating the market for their personal gain?

Looking forward to the cognitive dissonance Olympics when he backs down on the China rates in the near future.

Reposting this from the other thread even if I don't expect people here to comprehend the fact that they got rugpulled hard.

Israel is too valuable now

Please explain this value you speak of

 

[Mister Fister]

The problem is his reign is predicated on like, avenging things histrionic chinks consider to be historical insults, like not being the most powerful country on earth

Hubris is a running theme in fiascos

I maintain my position on the retardation level of Xi The Pooh bear.

Pretty hard to get rugged, when it was the expected outcome for non-retards.

Where is @John Badman

PUSSY FAGGOT

All I want for Easter is for John "Paper Hands" Badman to have liquidated everything yesterday.

Someone explain the new tariffs update like I'm 5.

Lefties on the Chink app are apparently all panicking about Trump imposing martial law on Resurrection Sunday.

Mental illness is a scary thing, but it can also be funny to watch.

(Yeah, this video is from a cringe Leaf, but it's a good assembly of the above.)

 

[Buck Broken Chimp]

you guys were going on about how great the tarrifs are. Trump just "paused them" he is not doing to reimplement them if he was so sure of the tarrifs he would have went for it right away.

Also there was very obvious market manipulation with the tariffs lowering stick prices and them him pausing them shooting them back up.

How does the nigger cattle defend this ?

We raped china.

This kind of bluff only works once.

Please explain this value you speak of

silicon wadi, innovative weapons development, innovative medical development, experts in irrigation that maximizes water usage in a time when water is extremely valuable, etc

theres a reason why the UAE decided to throw its lot in with Israel and it's not because they're Zionists

Trump cucked on tariffs and is pausing them for everyone except China.
