All that shitsplainin' maga's have been doing in here about how it's such great medicine for us, yeah they are about to start running around with a "Mission Accomplished" sign and declare tariffs victory as trump folds after China handed his ass to him in this tariffs war. Maga 180 incoming.

 
which variation of this do you think will be most popular?

"Trump cut tariffs, that proves they worked"




The opening theme of Trump 2.0 is called "Wishy-washy Flippy-floppy"


America's financial stability is just around the corner

LOL. You just can't stop with the doom and gloom over on the left can you. The trade deals will come and I'm betting before the summer and things will see a pretty quick turn around. As soon as China and the US come to terms the market will jump and business will grow. The U.S. is going to be better off. At least until another dumbass democrat gets into the white house.

The stock market will rise approvingly of the relax on tariffs and maga will declare it a masterful economic move. That's how that idiotic cult rolls.

The trade deals “will come”? AFTER Trump lifts the tariffs? That doesn’t make any sense! He’s got no leverage now. China will not be making any trade deals. Trump created a war, folded, and we gained nothing. The art of the deal! Masterful!

I doubt it. Businesses aren't going to invest billions of dollars with such a volatile idiot in charge. They can't plan on anything being stable if Trump goes back and forth every other week.

LOL

The Wall Street Journal is now "the left"

Trump, Trumpco, and Trumpco customers vs the rest of the world aka "the left"


The trade deals will come and

Other countries have been making trade deals with one another while we've been waiting for them to make deals with us.

They are unlikely to back out of any of the trade deals they made without us.

After all, Trump trashed trade deals Trump made—so why count on Trump if you do not have to.


I'm betting before the summer and things will see a pretty quick turn around.

When is "the summer"?

Do you use the old Oxford English dictionary definition of when summer begins?

Do yo do the traditional "June, July, and August are summer"?

Or do you do the Summer Solstice is the start of summer thing?


As soon as China and the US come to terms the market will jump and business will grow.

"UP" is a relative term.

How long until Americans' retirement accounts are back up to where they were in March?


The U.S. is going to be better off.

By this "summer"?

Or just generally sometime after we're all dead and gone?

Mr. Integrity knows that the way to deal with someone you don't like is to threaten to beat them up behind the tree on the playground and then, when the time comes, to get down on your knees and beg them not to hurt you. See, once you do that, you'll have 5D checkmated them and they'll have to do whatever you want!

:rolleyes:

How do you look in the mirror, dude? You know that we know that you just slavishly post whatever you have to post to sound like you're standing up for Trump. You've said everything you've been told to say, when you were told to say it, and using the exact words you're told to use.



The best case scenario here is that after Trump folds completely, allies and China after some time reduce their truly retaliatory tariffs. But there isn't much reason to expect that best case scenario when you piss in your allies faces, treat them like enemies, talk about invading and seizing a neighbor country, talk about seizing Greenland, and start an even bigger trade war against China.

The most likely scenario is damage that lasts at least one generation to America's economic and geopolitical standing. That we've permanently pushed the world towards China, to China's benefit and our detriment. That we've initiated a massive scientific, etc., brain drain by going after perfectly innocent visa holders and the like simply to keep the racist base happy, thus discouraging anyone from coming here to study and contribute.

Meanwhile, counterweights that usually strengthen when stocks fall—such as government bonds and the U.S. dollar—are also under pressure, leaving investors with few havens to wait out the storm.
“It’s the hallmark of the ‘no confidence’ trade,” said Scott Ladner, chief investment officer at Horizon Investments. The Charlotte-based firm trimmed its U.S. equity position several weeks ago to favor more international stocks.
“It’s impossible to commit capital to an economy that is unstable and unknowable because of policy structure.”

The trade tariffs will be less than we currently pay to other countries, I suspect they will also agree to buy more from us. That is a result of the tariff hikes. It's a negotiation tool, but then you just don't want to admit it's going to work and Trump is the reason. All the left has is BS and hate.

Billions have already been pledged by some of our trade partners, you aren't keeping up.
 
President Trump may as well keep flipping a coin to determine his tariff policies. Or better yet make decisions based on the particular week of the month….
 
It's been 10 days since Trump "paused" his global tariffs on all coutries except China, and during the 10 days... not even 1 new trade deal has been signed with any country.

An attempt to get Trump to stop being such a lunatic by making him feel like he won something.

It didn't work. They're not going to actually follow through. It's an absolutely insane investment to try to make under the current circumstances, they'll wait four years for a more reasonable person to be in the white house.

What you see as BS and hate is common sense and reality. And it’s not just “the left” with common sense.

"Agree to buy more?" How do you think international trade even works? What, China is going to pass a law requiring its citizens to buy more American products? Products we're not even ****ing making? lmao.

Trump has always been a shitty businessman. The fact that you have confidence in him is ridiculous.

All you are doing is proving my prediction in the OP 100% correct. You are here making excuses for the 180 which is basically putting a giant, "I'm in a cult" spotlight on yourself.

Call in an oracle to toss the bones and give him a reading. Maybe find Nancy Reagan's astrologist.

Gee, in case you hadn't noticed, other countries and the folks who inhabit them, don't like being blackmailed, threatened nor leveraged by a moronic douchebag.

Kinda leaves a bad taste in one's mouth, ya know?
