MDC 7,149 Posted April 16 1 minute ago, Grace Under Pressure said: Pretty quiet in here after the Fed Chair called Trump a dope today, which everyone already knew, oh and the market dropped another 3% today. Great job on the self-own. Again, guy could have done nothing and just taken credit for the solid economy left to him. Clueless. Trump can’t do nothing. He’s addicted to attention. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The success or failure of the tariffs, and the midterm elections for the republicans for that matter, is whether or not we start to see new trade agreements finalized by some of bigger trade partners like the Europeans, Japan, and India. Given progress with these countries, I think it will take some pressure off of the stock market and the repercussions of the "embargo" on China. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Psychic Observer 498 Posted April 19 Trump voters FAFO Nicholas Gilbert, who tends 1,400 cows at his dairy farm in Potsdam, close to the Canada border, told The Atlantic that a recent order of livestock feed cost him $2,200 extra due to tariffs. The feed came from Ontario, and he mistakenly believed his supplier at the Canadian mill would cover the difference. https://www.syracuse.com/state/2025/04/upstate-ny-farmer-shocked-by-trump-tariffs-mistakenly-thought-canada-would-pay.html 1 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then he’ll negotiate a couple slightly different trade deals that barely move the needle and declare it a huge win for America, like he did with his renegotiated trade deals during his first term. Then the MAGAs who have been saying we need to accept short term pain for long term US manufacturing growth will pivot to saying this is what Trump really wanted all along, like the obedient assboys they’ve always been. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
