The Frankish Reich Posted April 7 Posted April 7 Oh, and all market futures down on the order of 4% tonight. Look, we all know that even the stupid and mulish Trump will find some lame excuse to put his tariffs "on hold" or some such thing, probably declaring victory because Indonesia didn't retaliate or some such thing. But for now, he's letting it ride all the way to Hooverville. Just now, Roundybout said: These are the small companies by the way And of course small caps are getting hit the hardest - they are least able to adjust supply chains or eat short-term tariff losses. 1

If you're that upset about how things are going, do you ever look back at the election (from a Democratic perspective) and wish the party had run a more serious candidate? Instead of handing the nomination to someone who was clearly not suited for the job? Do you wish Biden had stepped aside much earlier in the process? It really seems to me that they decided early on that Trump was unelectable due to 'being a felon,' and as far as candidates they said, 'oh well we'll just run her,' and get some 'first woman of color president' points since ANYONE could've beaten Trump. That's how the strategy looked to me. 1

He should have been unelectable for many reasons, most importantly his criminal record. Hell, grabbing by the puss$ should have eliminated him from consideration from 1/2 the electorate. Can't imagine that would be pleasant. But I agree. America is still far too racist to elect a black, female prez. I blame Biden and his enablers for that. He dropped out far too late. History will hold him accountable. Edited April 7 by Joe Ferguson forever 1 1

Do you ever wish a Trumpist with a brain (DeSantis?) had won?

They will go down in history as the dumbest group of Americans. Studies will be done on these Asshats. 3

Trump and his cast of clowns give bogus “rebuild American manufacturing” answer. MAGA believes the Great Deal is coming to fix America. In the end, it’s a senile old man who wants to feel powerful. He can’t be powerful unless he make others feel pain. More pain the better he feels. 1 1 2

He attention span is shirt, he covers it with repeated rants using the same phrases, he doesn't sleep, he craves attention, praise, even worship. Most of all he is obsessed with revenge. Every good Christian knows this is not healthy. 2

Niagara Bill Posted April 7 Posted April 7 There is about to be far more than a tariff war between 2 previous friends. With trump about to raise tariff on Canadian lumber to 34.5% from 14.5% the push back will be immense against the orange skerge. I cannot even imagine the reaction that will happen. I cannot even phathom the depth of the orange lies this man is telling. if you dont want the lumber, dont buy it. We will NEVER have the relationship that once existed. I voted against a stronger tie to Europe and France/ England 30 years ago. I was wrong. 1 1

USA imports lots of cheap oil from Canada, a nation with small population. With their small population, trade will never be equal between us and them. Yet in Yrumps feeble little brain, he thinks that means USA is losing. He is a psychopath with no restraints this time and this is just the beginning. Edited April 7 by Andy1 1 1
Joe Ferguson forever Posted April 7 Posted April 7 (edited) where have all the MAGA's gone? Checking their portfolios? Meanwhile, Jamie Dimon is waving the distress flag: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/jamie-dimon-warns-of-slower-growth-higher-inflation-as-tariffs-reshape-global-economy-were-not-in-kansas-anymore-101743849.html "The quicker this issue is resolved, the better because some of the negative effects increase cumulatively over time and would be hard to reverse," Dimon said in a section on the state of the economy titled "We're not in Kansas anymore." "In the short run, I see this as one large additional straw on the camel’s back,” Dimon added. Edited April 7 by Joe Ferguson forever

Looking at the big picture this might mean the end of globalization. Rich hedge fund billionaires and multi-national corporations strip-mining cities and towns across America. And while the trend helped almost everybody in some way it doesn't help everyone equally. Such as a guy that lost his job at a small company supplying auto manufacturers in the US with parts vs. a hedge fund guy making billion dollar deals doing no real work and creating nothing of value armed with cheap money thanks to lose monetary policy and unlimited government spending. I look at it this way. Small town America and small businesses got decimated by globalization and offshoring work. Not to mention millions of IT jobs to India, Ireland, and elsewhere, call center jobs to the Caribbean, and other occupations. All so big multinational corporations can report an additional penny to their quarterly earnings and bi-coaster smug liberals can boost about their 401K balances and the superiority over others. Few to none have any sympathies for those rubes and "MAGA" types that lost their livelihoods. And now its the turn of the people that benefited the most to take their lumps. People crying about their life savings when others don't have any life savings because of globalization. Especially the baby boomers that have lived a very comfortable lifestyle for their entire lives without much hardship. Welcome to the party. While it hurts me personally I suspect much less than others because of all the crying here.
