Lol.

…and the Dow goes zooming up…….

He - just before - did tell us it was "a good time to buy".

 

[Allan]

China's economy is in shambles. Half the young people in China are unemployed.

Neither of those statements is true.

 

[Rexedgar]

Lol.

Karoline kept Bessent on a short leash.

 

[Rexedgar]

He - just before - did tell us it was "a good time to buy".

In retrospect, yeah, he couldn’t keep it in.

 

[Allan]

Lol.

Heh. The only competent employee Trump ever had was Stormy Daniels.

 

[Chomsky]

He says 75 countries are begging to negotiate....only 57 were targeted.

And the EU tariff'd him earlier this morning!

 

[Airyaman]

So how are we going to get people to build factories here with only 10% tariffs?

 

[phoenix2020]

Neither of those statements is true.

Wait, why would one expect a @Bucky post to contain truths?

 

[Carjosse]

So are we doing this every 90 days now?

 

[What if...?]

What does this even mean?

Trump is flip flopping so fast they can’t get the narratives out to them in time?

 

[Visbek]

So that was the plan....isolate China!

There was no plan.

This won't isolate China. It's just going to make them look relatively sane in comparison to Trump.

Waiting for a news source to public an article and then I'll link it here.

So, tariffs get kicked back for another three months, except for reciprocals and China apparently.

He is a giant asshole. No doubt about it.

So the idiot backs off and declares victory?
I keep wondering, is he really that stupid or is he just playing to a stupid audience?
No reason it has to be one or the other, I guess.

 

[Visbek]

Libs heads exploding.... LOL!

"Exploding" because... Trump contradicted himself, and showed that his word is worthless? Again?

 

[Chomsky]

More unpredictability and insanity.

Businesses have to make decisions that stretch far into the future and Trumps actions are insane, nobody makes decisions about factories or investment if the entire landscape of global trade could change everyday, let alone every 90 days.

**** Trump and those that voted for this bullshit.

I think the MAGA arguments for corporate CapEx directives - just went out the window.

The "Days of ripping off the USA is no longer acceptable?"

Is proper English grammar also no longer acceptable?

 

[Sven Karma]

MOAR WINNING !!!

 

[Visbek]

Lol.

Next time, you might want to use Bluesky instead of that X garbage.

 

[phoenix2020]

So are we doing this every 90 days now?

Given roughly 4 week transit time for container ships leaving China to arrive at our more distant ports, I would expect this process to repeat roughly every 30 days or so. That allows Donald to announce and make lots of noise about tariffs, but still be able to cancel them before they actually apply to goods.

[Chomsky]

And the chaos of indecision continues.

I'm thinking the markets will eventually come to that conclusion.

Meanwhile, the ball is now in China's court as to whether they'll retaliate.

Oh boy!

He solved a problem that he created.

What a hero!

It won't.

This is the biggest insider trading scandal in history...betcha lots of Trump people and Trump himself have bought at the low.

Also..Trump blinked and lost.
