Summary
Trump had to reverse his aggressive tariff rhetoric after CEOs from Walmart, Target, and Home Depot warned of empty shelves and higher prices due to supply chain disruptions.
Investors reacted negatively to his threats against Fed Chair Jerome Powell, prompting a market sell-off.
Trump backtracked, expressing optimism on a China trade deal and now denying plans to fire Powell.
Global markets remain volatile, and the IMF cited Trump’s trade war as a “major negative shock” to global growth.
Yeah maybe but now FUCK YOU. You started the tarrif war, I fucking demand that all world leaders finish it. Let there be empty shelves, let the USA go fucking bankrupt let all Americans lose their 401k or whatever the hell it’s called there. Let them suffer. You voted trump, or you allowed him to come in, he’s ALL yours now. Let him ruin the country, let him ruin all american lives.
The teade war should not stop until a revolution kicks in that will land his fat neck on a guillotine.
Once the Americans have cleaned house and basically have gone back to a real democracy (not the shit they’ve been doing for the past decades) we van talk about a truce.
Ubtil then: suffer the consequences of your own actions as you rained them down on the entire world, you insufferable assholes *
- This may not apply to all Americans but definitely the majority at this point
It’s like that t.rex scene in Jurassic Park. It got really scary, there was plenty of damage, but it all worked out in the end. Peak entertainment. 🍿
Well, except if you’re that one guy who got eaten alive. I guess Americans might feel like that.
Odd that you thought that sp3ctr4l was offended by your comment, was that your intention? To offend people?
… I mostly found your comment pitiable, not offensive.
As in, your metaphor is so crass and demonstrates such a fundamentally unserious approach to understanding reality, that it barely even registers as offensive, and immediately transcends into pity.
If you think this is some sort of… brush off your hands, phew, glad we made it out of that! type situation… if you think the suffering is over, disproportionately for Americans but also for the rest of the world…
This conveys to me that you have an extremely naive and simplistic grasp of how history moves, how international relations work, how fascism works, how economics works… etc.
China should tell us they’ll drop their tariffs by 20% a month until gone barring further impulsive fuckery to dissuade further infantile American shenanigans.
As an American, someone’s got to be the geopolitical adult in the room, and we don’t qualify.
Why would China do anything that helps us pick ourselves up and onto our feet? This is the goal they and Russia have been working towards for decades.
Nah-uh. No blaming China or Russia on this one. The United States did this squarely to themselves with the world pleading otherwise. They inserted their own head in the vice and started spinning the handle.
Sure, it aligns with the communist block’s benefit, but the US really needs to be held accountable for its own idiocy on this one. Its the first step in recovery.
Oh so we’re denying that Russia and China led disinformation campaigns squared solely at disrupting American politics for decades? Are we also ignoring the Murdochs from Australia?
Just wanted to get that straight before I started saying whatever the fuck I want.
it aligns with the communist block’s benefit
Neither Russia nor China are communist anymore. Russia is run by corrupt capitalists and has been since the 1980s, and the only thing Communist about China is the name of the totalitarian party that runs its government, which consists of a mix of state-funded and private capitalist enterprise.
It’s been fucking wild as a resident of a non-us country seeing some of the commentary coming up. We must radical empathy! How dare other countries take advantage of X Y or Z? The shoe is on the other foot, and by GOD is it a problem if anyone but the US starts doing what the US has been doing to everyone else on the planet my entire freakin’ life
We all know they’re propaganda riddled exceptionalists but goddaaaamn. Need to learn to accept cause, effect and consequence
Trump provided China an excellent excuse to start a trade war and look like the heroes while doing it. This is absolutely Trump’s fault, but China has no reason to not take full advantage of it.
I’m starting to feel like this is a controversial opinion, but maybe the American people should be the ones holding their own government accountable? Interventionism is the worst way to fix a country and I very much doubt it even could be done for a country like America.
I’m ready for these tariffs to hit the shelves for a month or two. Give MAGA Morons a really good taste of HitlerPig’s virtuosic incompetence. They won’t be happy when the shelves in Walmart and Target are nearly empty, and whatever is left has tripled in price.
When they get home from their trip to Walmart empty handed, and turn on the TV to see enormous crowds protesting in the streets, perhaps it will finally start to sink in what those protesters are unhaopy about. Not all of them, of course, but some of them.
not to mention the DOGE cuts, is barely making the news anymore, MSM is barely reporting it right now, because it hurting trumps image
Kennedy was assassinated for less. This man has fucked with some higher powers’ money I’m surprised they haven’t ousted him for a canon slightly less loose, but I suppose he is quite the distraction.
Ah, so you know the motive of Kennedy’s assassin(s)? Do tell, and provide evidence.
You’re right, I shouldn’t have said it with such certainty, but I don’t think Oliver Stone’s movie took that many liberties/there’ve been a few papers on how much the movie made up for dramatic effect vs. what it didn’t.
I used to take it all with a grain of salt, but seeing how brazen and desperate the right wing gets to hang onto their money today in broad daylight, I pretty much believe it.
But Kennedy was a liberal. They don’t assassinate their fellow conservatives.
