Its probably going to wind up making China a lot more powerful.
That’s what useful idiots are good for.
a means to extract funds from ~~competing countries~~ poor and middle class americans
fixed that.
he still has no fucking clue how tariffs work.
“Donald Trump was the dumbest goddam student I ever had.” Dr. Kelley (Wharton professor)
no shit.
Congrats! Always nice to see people getting good news en route to getting what they asked for.
The dildo of consequences rarely comes lubed.
All so Musk and Bezos can build bigger yachts
"Growth" is possibly the dumbest metric we've been sold.
But now every publicly traded or VC backed company has to "grow" constantly at a multiplicative rate endlessly. Can't be happy making some number of units a year. Gotta diversify and keep finding new ways to grow the business.
God forbid anybody mentions market saturation, or even worse: long term customer satisfaction.
No, profit and dividends weren't enough. Growth offers more faster, so torch anything that stands in the way.
I feel you... but without "growth", how will all these children get job, and how will we get promotions?
Y'all are going to be without jobs while the corporate buddies come and take all your shit. Good job, America.
so nothing has changed. whew, was worried for a sec
The tariffs are going to be the least of America’s problems.
Watch The Road become everyday life in the next four years.
Now do mass deportations economic effect. Gonna be shit for the USD
puts?
Yeah I want to cash in like I did during the pandemic (and lost because I expected a W and we got a V). But I'm more concerned this time the dipshit in chief is going to flip the casino. When do we totally cash out?
2026
Thats the question isn't it I have no idea these days lol. Everything happens so fast now
Good. Americans need to get to the Find Out stage hard.
Fuck Morgan Stanley
He won't do it. He wanted to get out of jail. That's it.
He won't be able to do any of the dumb shit he promised with Executive Order alone.
What has SCOTUS possibly done to show that they won't rubber stamp each and every thing he does.
Edit: That's not to say the tariffs are going to go through. I'm not sure they will. Rule #1 is you do not fuck with the bag and this is just about the definition of fucking with the bag
He won't be able to do any of the dumb shit he promised with Executive Order alone.
He won't need to. He's got Congress and the Supreme Court to do what he wants.
doomsday scenario number 6:
senate takes the 'nuclear option' on killing filibuster (but reinstates it before midterms) with just a simple majority.
house and senate pass every stupid fucking thing donvict has pulled out of his diaper, everything in project 2025, and anything else the masters-of-the-strings want.
Democrats were literally saying this was an option 6 months ago, as well as expanding and packing SCOTUS. I 100% expect these pieces of shit to take that note and do it instead because they have the opportunity.
Who are we blaming about it though?
You?
