If you think militias would defend 3500 miles of border against invasion you are as nutty as your leader. I said if you choose not to defend trade routes, so be it, dont care. Stop being the world's leader and beacon, your choice. We didn't have any sweet heart deal, we have a mutual agreement signed by Donald Trump himself. What the US will get, is isolation. We don't need a trade deal, it would be mutually beneficial like it has been for 100 years, but not necessary. Live in your gated community, which you think keeps you safe, hate your neighbour, build the fences higher. Separate from the rest of the world, just do it. Nobody gives a flying fxxx. If you think the outcome of all this tariff stuff is a great deal for America, that your citizens will be paying the silent tax is ok, enjoy. Like I said... You are overwhelmed by emotions... Your fears are imaginary...

You do however want American youth defending the trade routes to support your lifestyle... You HAD a sweetheart deal... Now a different deal more beneficial to US interests is coming... You sure like to give that “return” key a workout huh?

Trump_is_Mentally_fit Posted August 5 Posted August 5 https://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/05/caterpillars-profit-falls-on-weak-equipment-demand-tariff-hit.html Caterpillar reported a lower second-quarter profit on Tuesday due to sluggish construction equipment demand and warned of up to $1.5 billion hit from costs related to U.S. tariffs in 2025. Shares of the company, often viewed as a bellwether for the industrial economy, fell about 4% in premarket trading after it also flagged a tariff impact of $400 million to $500 million in the third quarter. Sweeping tariffs on U.S. imports have impacted companies across sectors, prompting many to rejig their supply chains and localize production. Additionally, high interest rates and inflationary headwinds have pushed dealers to scale back on equipment orders and realign inventory to match demand. Adjusted profit in the second quarter fell to $4.72 per share, compared with $5.99 a year ago. Its sales and revenue for the quarter fell 1% to $16.7 billion from a year ago. 1
Niagara Bill Posted August 5 Posted August 5 Effe give today the deal with EU falls apart. Trump actually believed the EU would give him $600,000,000,000 to invest as he wishes because Europe took advantage of America for so long. Impossible to make a deal...

Roundybout Posted August 5 Posted August 5 Tariffs are killing the economy. Quote https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/services-pmi-at-50-1-july-2025-services-ism-report-on-business-302521042.html Anticipation of the final tariff impacts is resulting in delayed planning for next fiscal year purchases." [Accommodation & Food Services] "Higher tariffs are increasing the cost of imported feed ingredients and trace minerals for livestock and poultry feeds. Business and customer concerns over additional cost risk due to additional tariffs." [Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing & Hunting] "Trade uncertainty causing client reevaluation of feasibility for projects in certain sectors, resulting in some delays or cancellations. Public-funded jobs experiencing pullbacks." [Construction] "Summer break for students greatly reduces demand on campus." [Educational Services] "Steady business activity." [Finance & Insurance] "Tariffs are causing additional costs as we continue to purchase equipment and supplies. Though we need to continue with these purchases, the cost is significant enough that we are postponing other projects to accommodate these cost changes." [Health Care & Social Assistance] "Extra purchasing to head off tariffs has leveled off. Expecting decreases in activity in the second half of 2025." [Mining] "Economic uncertainty remains the dominant theme. However, the tariff talk has turned out to be much more bluster than actual policy, and businesses have seemed to tune out the noise. The outlook continues to look incrementally positive." [Real Estate, Rental & Leasing] "Retail results are solid — a little soft before and during Fourth of July week, but then a rebound. We see no reason to believe this won't continue for the near term." [Retail Trade] "Our business activity is flat. We are not trending up or down. Tariffs are now starting to show up in pricing, and we are seeing increases across the board." [Transportation & Warehousing] It is yet another failed policy from this administration. If you support them, you are genuinely mentally ######ed. Not the slur, the medical definition.

Beauty beat Wall Street’s expectations on the top and bottom lines in its fiscal first quarter, but new China tariffs are weighing on its profits, which were down 30% from the year-ago period. The cosmetics company’s sales grew by 9%, marking the second quarter in a row where revenue growth slowed to the single digits. E.l.f. just closed its acquisition of Hailey Bieber’s beauty brand Rhode and the impact that will have on its performance won’t be seen until later in the year.
Trump_is_Mentally_fit Posted August 7 Posted August 7 https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-manufacturing-extends-slump-factory-employment-lowest-5-years-2025-08-01/ WASHINGTON, Aug 1 (Reuters) - U.S. manufacturing contracted for a fifth straight month in July and factory employment dropped to the lowest level in five years amid tariffs that have raised prices of imported raw materials.

A PMI reading below 50 indicates contraction in manufacturing, which accounts for 10.2% of the economy.
