Trump Gets RUDE AWAKENING as TARIFFS BACKFIRE

[notreally]

Im just pointing out the hypocrisy on both sides. None of these politician's care about you. Stop playing their rigged game. Biden is every bit the racist Trump allegedly is yet you give him a pass because you brainwashed Democrate plantation ninjas refuse to open your eyes

BULLSHIT.

You are comparing a generally good natured, though flawed human being who was well on the way to bringing the nation back to respectability with an aspiring 21st century Hitler.

Go eat an orange dick. Take a microscope to find it.

And don't say any more stupid shit this week; I want to lurk in peace, you fucking smegma stain.

Magatry is strong in this one.

 

[notreally]

How many countries are needed to form a group that will pose a serious threat to the USA?

That is my main concern. I guarantee that is being discussed in war rooms across the world.

When one of those countries is China, just one.

So far, there is Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.

There are a couple of others that eithet JUST joined the BRICS or are about to.

The U.S. is in decline. Whitey is in denial, and does not want you to know that.

They keep pretending that it is still 1995.

It ain't. We are FUCKED.

 

[ronmch20]

The fentanyl part is bullshit, but you're wrong about everything else.

75% of Canada's exports go to the United States. Meanwhile Canadian products only make up 6% of US imports. This war will mildly inconvenience Americans and completely devastate the Great White North.

Once Canada surrenders the US will force them to privatize all their industries and sell them to US conglomerates. They will also install a puppet government agreeable to US interests. Labor laws and environmental regulations will be scrapped. Resources will be stripped.

America does this to developing countries all the time. Trump is the first president to do it to a G7 nation.

That is about as likely as Canada becoming America's 51st state and California becoming Canada's 11th province. No need to stop there with the absurdity, how about Denmark agreeing to sell Greenland to the U.S. and the American military invading Panama to seize control of the canal.

The bottom line is unnecessary and arbitrary tariffs will be a detriment to both countries, but Americans don't suffer economic pain very well and the effect of Trump's tariffs will have them turning on the Orange Cheeto in a matter of a few months.

Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum announces tariffs to be halted for one month after deal with Trump


Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum claimed Monday that she reached a deal with President Trump to halt the imposition of 25% tariffs for one month in exchange for concessions on the border.
Sheinbaum said Mexico agreed to reinforce the US-Mexico border with 10,000 personnel from Mexico’s national guard to help crack down on fentanyl dissemination into the US. Sheinbaum and Trump held a call Monday morning.

The US will then work with Mexico to prevent the trafficking of weapons into America’s southern neighbor.

“We had a good conversation with President Trump with great respect for our relationship and sovereignty; we reached a series of agreements,” Sheinbaum said in a statement, per a translation.

​

“Our teams will begin working today on two fronts: security and trade,” she added. “They are pausing tariffs for one month from now.”

Trump had ordered a 25% across-the-board tariff on Mexico after accusing the southern neighbor of failing to meet his demands of addressing the fentanyl and illegal immigration crises.

How Warren Buffett decides when to sell a stock


Stocks took a sharp dive before the start of trading on Monday following President Trump’s decision to impose new tariffs on key US trading partners including China, Canada and Mexico.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 560 points, or 1.27%, while the S&P 500 declined 1.6%, falling 95 points.
The Nasdaq lost 1.95% to drop nearly 400 points and the Russell 2000, which tracks small-cap stocks, fell 2.3% or 52 points.
The Cboe Volatility Index, a key measure of investor sentiment, briefly spiked above 22 before settling around 19, reflecting rising market anxiety.

The move by Trump to levy tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico and China has heightened concerns about the potential impact on inflation and economic growth, fueling fears of a global trade conflict.

​

The tariffs have particularly impacted companies with supply chains tied to North America.
General Motors saw its stock plummet 5.6%, while Ford declined by 4%. Suppliers such as Aptiv and Avery Dennison were also hit, falling 5% and 2%, respectively.
Other affected firms included Constellation Brands, which imports alcohol from Mexico, dropping 5%, and Chipotle, which relies on Mexican avocados, slipping 3%. Apparel companies such as Nike and Lululemon also experienced losses.
Conversely, steel manufacturers emerged as beneficiaries of the policy shift. Nucor gained 2%, while Steel Dynamics rose nearly 4% as investors anticipated stronger demand for domestic steel production.

Markets around the world reacted swiftly to the news.
European stocks saw a significant decline, with Germany’s DAX index falling nearly 2%.
Bitcoin also took a hit, dropping from above $102,000 to around $95,000, while ether lost 11%.
Meanwhile, the US dollar gained strength, with the ICE US Dollar Index jumping nearly 1%. The tariffs also had an impact on energy prices.
West Texas Intermediate crude jumped 2% to $74.20 per barrel, while Brent crude saw a 1% rise, reaching $76.42 per barrel.
The tariffs announced on Saturday included a 25% levy on goods from Mexico and Canada, along with a 10% tariff on imports from China.

Energy imports from Canada faced a slightly lower 10% tariff.
Canada responded with its own retaliatory measures, while Mexico indicated it would explore similar actions against US imports.
China, on the other hand, declared its intent to challenge the tariffs at the World Trade Organization. Trump also suggested that tariffs on European Union goods could follow.
European Union officials cautioned that they would respond firmly if Trump follows through with additional tariffs on European imports.
Economists and analysts have expressed concern over the latest developments.
A report from Goldman Sachs noted that while the direct economic impact of the tariffs may be limited, the broader consequences could be significant.

The statement warned that these measures could deepen fears about future trade policy risks and retaliation from affected countries.
Market strategists have emphasized that investors should take the administration’s tariff plans more seriously. According to a report from Wolfe Research, if this shift in policy expectations is suddenly reflected in market pricing, the coming days could see considerable volatility.
The timing of the tariff announcement coincides with an important earnings period, with over 120 S&P 500 companies set to release quarterly reports. Among the high-profile firms reporting this week are Alphabet, Amazon, and Palantir, along with consumer brands like Disney and Mondelez.
Additionally, the latest nonfarm payrolls report, scheduled for Friday, is expected to indicate that 175,000 jobs were added last month, based on estimates from Dow Jones analysts.
Despite recent market turbulence, stocks ended January on a positive note. The S&P 500 advanced 2.7%, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 1.6%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average led the way with a 4.7% increase for the month.

What do you think? Post a comment.
With escalating trade disputes and a volatile market environment, analysts anticipate continued uncertainty in the weeks ahead. Market trends will largely depend on further developments in trade policy, corporate earnings results, and key economic indicators set to be released in the coming days.
Investors are closely monitoring Washington’s next steps as they brace for potential economic repercussions of the latest round of tariffs.

I think you're missing a few things.

To start, Canadians earn less than Americans and pay more for consumer goods. They are just as bad at enduring economic pain, but far closer to that point already.

One of Canada's biggest exports to the United States is electricity. It's supplied by government-owned companies who use the profit from those exports to supply low-cost electricity to Canadians. Without that profit the whole system falls apart and many Canadians won't be able to afford their bills.

The Canadian Prime Minister has to call an election at least once every 7 years. Donald Trump is on his last term. He's not dependent on the will of his subjects the way Trudeau is.

Every war is to the detriment of both countries until somebody wins. Do you really see Canada beating America at this one?

Only 15% of Panama's exports go to the United States. For Denmark it's less than 10%. Trump can't apply the same pressure to them.

As to your bolded part, look at how the American military helped United Fruit take over Latin America. Look at how the CIA funded the contras in Nicaragua and took over a democratically elected government.

Trump is working from the same playbook. He wants to make an example of Canada to make the rest of the world fall in line. The message is, alliances don't matter and no one is safe. If he'll go after his mostly white northern neighbors what do you think you'll do to the EU?

I don't take issue with most of what you've said. I just don't see Trump making Canada come to heel. The likely result in my view is Trump eventually will relax or eliminate the tariffs he's imposed just like he did in his first term with China when that nation stopped buying grain from the U.S. that hurt farmers to the point Trump had to keep them afloat with subsidies. I just don't see the upside of picking this fight with Canada. What is to be gained? Just about every reputable economist agrees tariffs are a bad idea and should only be implemented when countries are unable to reach an amicable end to their economic spats. Lastly, I think a man who had had to declare bankruptcy six times is not one whose judgment on economic matters should be accepted without question.

Trump's bankruptcies were intentional and running a business is not the same as running an economy. But I digress.

So what's to be gained picking a fight with Canada? Massive energy reserves that can be privatized and sold to American interests. Why spend trillions of dollars and thousands of lives to get oil from halfway across the world when you can go north and take it without firing a shot?

Speaking of which, I just got the insane news that Prime Minister Trudeau is mobilizing troops to the border to stop the flow of fentanyl. Not only will that mean using the military against his own people, he's wasting resources to solve a problem that doesn't exist. Since that's impossible to do Trump has an excuse to continue these tariffs indefinitely.

Canada is a major source of fentanyl for the United States. It is a violent narco state that has finally being held accountable.

That picture features guns and drugs that entered Canada, not the other way around.

The American CBP seized a total of 42 pounds of fentanyl at the Canadian border in 2023. For comparison, in that same year the San Francisco Police department seized 40 pound of fentanyl in a single raid. Canada hasn't been a "narco state" since Colorado legalized marijuana in 2014.

You reminded me of this:

Donald Trump reported nearly $1 billion in operating losses over a two-year period about a decade ago, an accountant testified at the criminal trial of the Trump Organization, spilling into public tax information that the former president has tried repeatedly to keep private.

The accountant, Donald Bender, a partner at Mazars USA, the firm that prepared tax returns for Trump and his company, testified Tuesday that Trump reported losses each year for 10 years from 2009 to 2018.

That's Trump's MO.

Find a failing business.

Let them use his name in exchange for an ownership stake

Use that ownership stake to take out massive loans

Give the loan money to friends and relatives in exchange for dubious business expenses.

Eventually the company goes bankrupt, the loans get discharged, and Trump's friends pay him back.

He's been doing this in plain sight for decades. I'm surprised people still trust him.

Trump's six bankruptcies were intentional??? C'mon man... You'd have a hard time convincing anyone other than a Trump devotee of that. Seems Trump has you firmly and intransigently in his corner, so I think we're pretty much done. Peace...

I am not and have never been in Trump's corner. But since you just accused me of being a Nazi let me repeat the details of how Trump's bankruptcy scams work.

Suppose I send you a PM saying "hey Ron, I run a company called Danny's Cufflinks and I would like you to be the face of the brand. How much money do you want?"

You do your research and discover I'm barely getting by. So you agree to be the face of my brand in exchange for a share of ownership. No money needed.

Of course I'm thrilled, so we shoot some commercials and change the company name to Ron's Upscale Cufflinks. Business starts to turn around.

Then you take that ownership stake and use it as collateral for a $3 million loan. You give HNIC $1 million to be an online marketing consultant. Cointelpro gets $1 million for corporate security and Godofwine gets $1 million to write copy for ads that never come out. Before the checks even clear you take out three more loans and give that money to other "consultants".

Eventually the company becomes insolvent and declares bankruptcy. As soon as the debts are discharged HNIC kicks you back $500,000. So does Cointelpro, Godofwine and all the rest. You donate this money to your family's "charity" to avoid taxes, skim money off the top and put it back in your pocket.

That's what I mean by intentional bankruptcy. Trump abuses the financial system to enrich himself and his cronies at the expense of someone else's company.

So go ahead. Tell me how pointing this out makes me a trump devotee. Hope your arms hurt from all that reaching.

 

[mk23666]

All of it makes me wonder if some of Trump's "friends" were pumping him up on the tariffs thing so they could buy on the dips in the markets. Elon has manipulated the market with his tweets a time or two.

"When you're President they let you do it ..."

Practically all the American booze Canada imports is made in red states. The only notable exception is Bacardi.
