Just as he’s always promised, Trump has taken America back in time. And apparently that time of greatness we’ve all been seeking to re-create was the summer of 2020. Happy days are here again.

Hopefully you’ve all gotten your five-pencil allotment for the year.

What began as a rapid drop in U.S. imports as shippers cut orders from manufacturing partners around the world has now extended into a nationwide export slump, with the U.S. agricultural sector and top farm products including soybeans, corn, and beef taking the hardest hit.

The latest trade data shows that a slide in U.S. exports to the world, and China in particular, that began in January now extends to most U.S. ports, according to trade tracker Vizion, which analyzed U.S. export container bookings for the five-week period before the tariffs began and the five weeks after the tariffs took effect.
“We haven’t seen anything like this since the disruptions of summer 2020,” said Kyle Henderson, CEO of Vizion. “That means goods expected to arrive in the next six to eight weeks simply won’t. With tariffs driving costs higher, small businesses are pausing orders. Products that once moved reliably are now twice as expensive, forcing importers into tough decisions,” he said.

We always knew that changes to the global supply lines will need to adjust because of the predicted drop in US imports from China. On the other hand, perhaps some just didn't want to admit those changes were coming and are now unprepared.

In any case, the practice of having shipping container supply in the US being dependent upon how many shipping containers arrive from China is something that needs to end.

In other words, "day 1" means never... lol

And you're all dummies for not knowing that!! Seriously, really dumb!

Why do you think we need shipping containers? That would suggest that other nations still want to buy our products??

So, explain to me how "we always knew" that we would be in the beginning of a completely self contrived recession 3 months after Trump took office? Which Trump pre-election speech are you referring to? I guess not any of the ones that promised instant gratification if you voted for him?

Uh, weird response, I'm not crying I'm laughing. 🤔

Hey, is this that thing that maga folks do on DP, where they can't make an intelligent point so they complain about non Americans participating in an intensional debate forum? Please say it is, that's my favorite. :)
 
So trump lied. Nothing new there.
So trump has no idea what the hell he is doing. Also not new.
So trump is lining his pockets while president. Again, not new.

If stated objectives of a presidential candidate are now only seen as mere "campaign rhetoric" and still used by an electorate as their voting imperatives, what does that suggest about the collective intellect of those voters?

"Not being among American voters" is now an 'award of excellence' 👍 as viewed by the rest of the world's populace.

massive disruptions in the global economy =...shrug?

well, i guess that explains how trump could get elected because some people just didn't care how much pain he was promising.

Screw "the rest of the world's population".

Worry about your own house. It's about to burn down around you.

My house will be just fine.

You have yet to see what's going to happen to yours, though it's not a secret. Trudeau understood what was coming to your house months ago.

Anyway, I don't really care about your house.

Moving on...

Many of us want to talk about what isn't coming into the US now, we should also be aware alot less is going out of the US as well.

Nobody wins in useless trade wars.


Liberals sure seem intent on allowing China to continue to get stronger with unfair trade at our expense.

Seems like a pretty stupid argument but whatever.

The stupid argument is the stupid lies Trump tells you about why he has to **** up everything.

What is unfair about their trade?

But that's not the topic of this thread, just a diversion.
 
Well, looks like it's time to bail out US exporters with incoming tariff money...wait, there is going to be less coming in so what tariff money?

Winning!

Looks like Americans will need to start eating a lot more soybeans.

China's strength has to do with it's emergence as the global leader in electronics manufacturing. Trade isn't a zero-sum game.
Seems like a pretty stupid argument but whatever.
The way the Trump administration has gone about this trade war is stupid. You know this to be true, but the partisanship is just too strong with you folks.

You don't know anything. Another example of a post being simplistic to the point of useless.

“Some” like October Mycroft?
Mycroft said:
It didn't in the past and it won't in the future.

Trump's tariffs didn't disrupt supply chains or markets, either.
