Trump in humiliating backflip over tariffs
Feb 4^th, 2025 at 9:02am

Trump has suffered a humiliating defeat of his tariffs plan, with both Canada and Mexico now not being hit with these tariffs that would have mostly hurt US consumers. He has agreed to give them a 30-day reprieve while he consults with them over increased security measures at the border. What's the lesson here? Just talk to people. There's no need for threats that cause carnage on stock markets world wide. It just shows that keeping calm wins the day over Trumps' ridiculous bluster and childish theatrics.

So who is holding all the aces now, all that crying that Trump does not know what he is doing. Trudeau has been given a lesson he will never forget.

Unless tariff imposition was not out of the blue...

If it was choreographed between the US, and Canada and Mexico to initiate the conversation regarding self-reliance, the actions make sense in terms of selling the concept to the peoples of the three countries.

A lot of financial upheaval in the crypto exchange (not sure about other exchanges as I’m not in them) such carnage Angry

…. Trump needs to think more carefully before blowing his trumpet!
So many have been hurt in the pocket already! It’s affected people from all corners of the globe.
It’s kind of shaken the confidence.
How does the future look?
America is already powerful in its own way and last thing it needs is a headless chook!
Any little change in the USA has a ripple effect on the rest of us.
A bull in a China shop does much damage!
Do I need to write to him to tell him that?

No… it affects everyone with any amount of money.
It’s not access to just the wealthy… the average have a chance at a bit of spare money.
A lot of crypto coins provide services if you wish to read about it. Then there’s the meme coins… totally different to the other coins.
Even if the prices plunge… the coins are still owned … unlike the slot machines… money in… gone!

Now then… if Trump is such a business man… and as money talks and bull shyte walks… I would’ve said this to him…

You mean humiliating surrender by Mexico and Canada.

Next: European Union.
