He thinks he's a stable genius and that he knows what he's doing. Tell that to the thousands of Americans about to lose their jobs because of his idiotic, pointless trade war.

Countries had been warned…

About Trade imbalances
About running Illegal Aliens through their country into the US
About flooding drugs into the US from their country…

They’ve done nothing to quell the situation - so - Trump is doing what every good parent should do and follow through with their warning…

FAFO

And if you ask these other countries about it - their “Citizens” - they would all agree with Trump and the citizens of the United States…

Take a look at Sweden and Germany or even the UK - like 1 in every 7 girls have been raped by these scumbag illegal immigrants - and thats only the ones that they know of….

Take a look at Conservative Parties all over the world - Italy for instance - cracking down on illegal immigrants and shipping them back to their own countries…

And you have to realise - that there is a “dark force” who are rounding up the scum of the earth and moving them to Western Countries to destroy the fabric of their society…

NGOs doing a lot of the work with the American Tax Payer paying for it - George Soros, Bill Gates, the UN

The Conservatives are gaining traction in Germany - the number one priority?

Deport All immigrants…

Buckle Up…

The woke mind virus is dying - but it’s going to fight back …

Quote:
“We need to protect Americans, and it is my duty as President to ensure the safety of all. I made a promise on my Campaign to stop the flood of illegal aliens and drugs from pouring across our Borders, and Americans overwhelmingly voted in favor of it,” President Trump said on Truth Social on Saturday.


Quote:
Justin Trudeau confirmed that Canada will impose tariffs on American goods in response to the Tariffs imposed by President Trump yesterday, and the CEO of Shopify, Canada’s largest tech company and second-largest publicly traded company, slammed Trudeau’s poor leadership.

He further said "every Canadian" wants Canada to work with President Trump to secure the borders and stop the flow of fentanyl. "These are not crazy demands," he added.


Little Potato Trudeau can FA but if the US stopped importing ALL Canadas goods they’d collapse in ONE day.. they Country would be finished…

Aww, please...

The tariffs have nothing to do with trade imbalances with Canada and Mexico, nor illegal aliens, or drugs...

For a start, Mexico is not Australia - it doesn't take it up the arse from the US - Mexico could retaliate by opening the northern border and allowing a tsunami of immigrants to enter the US... Why isn't that happening? And it's not because the US would invade Mexico - which would cause a catastrophic economic situation in the US.

Fentanyl from Canada accounts for less than 1% of it entering the US... so... 25% tariffs?

Trade imbalances? Mexico's demography places it the best in the world for the US to exploit... so... 25% tariffs? For what?

I predict double digit inflation over the next twelve months, and a doubling of the unemployment rate

Causing imbalance with drastic overnight changes needs balance somewhere else…and so far financially, I am one of the affected… I’ve got a big loss as I’ve invested in 43 crypto coins… so it’s not as if I didn’t diversify!!

The whole playing field is affected. It’s very bearish!

The really big players have pulled squillions out! They know something is going down.
Uncertainty and fear.
Bitcoin is down… and when it sneezes all the others get a very bad cold!

All the reports were on positive highs until that happened… just like that… a flick of the pen by the POTUS …. throws a curveball at you then says catch when you’re not ready?

I bought $100 worth of Bitcoin some time ago so I could watch its progress without being seriously invested...

And what a roller-coasting bullshit ride it's been!

Bitcoin digitally emulates bipolar disorder and the other cryptos join in for the ride!

Grin
Oh my goodness, you’re not wrong!
But there’s the quick way of making money (more for the whale$) and then there’s the patient long way to just buy, hold, and forget it for a year or two or five.
I’m in the first category… I’m on it daily, buying, selling, swapping …
I read whatever report or prediction or reviews I could find.

The ones recommended… have just stagnated… then I reckon my guess is as good as any of them… I picked some purely because I liked the name…and they have been the best so far!!!

I fluked buying Onyxcoin (XCN) when it was so low… on a flatline …. Little did I realise it was low down because of some legal entanglement… once that was over… that coin pumped huge and I’m hundreds in credit in a short time! And it caught the attention of the whole crypto crowd! It popped up like outta nowhere saying “here I am!”
And tomorrow… there’s a new white paper deal thingy that’s going to really make it go in an upwards trajectory …. Now this is not financial advice… but whilst it’s in the lower figures to buy… do it now!

Back to what Trump did… he affected so many of us into loss … even a little ole nobody like me in an Australian country township.
I can handle the loss but many young ones can’t as it’s their hope…
Trump and his wife made billions from their shyte meme coin in just 2 days before inauguration… he’s smug and well off this adding to his wealth…
Amazing how the very thing that gave them so much… he has taken away from the rest of us.
Not impressed.

I'm guessing to stop American companies moving their manufacturing bases into these countries.

Or an embarrassing backdown because called a win somehow.

But Trump has tripled down on the tariffs, I can't see him backing down even if it's what's best for the nation.

That's not a priority for him.  Unless he can use his sharpie to make the back down look like a win, like updating hurricane tracking maps, it's not going to happen.

That would be a first for me to do typo? But I’m certain I have done many….not intentional of course. I just type, with no spell check. Damned good aren’t I  Smiley

You do that through regulation, not tariffs.

The people get punished and foot the bill with the tariffs, and it results in the local industries eventually raising their prices to match the new higher import prices anyway.

Are you starting to get it yet?

Price schmice.

There is more to international trade, foreign policy,  domestic policy etc, etc than the price of shoddy goods produced by exploited third worlders.
