“Amazon prime but for human beings”
Sounds like another prime target for Guantanamo since he’s a domestic terrorist. But yeah that’s what this country is going towards, I feel stupid for making fun of China and the Uyghurs, we’re worse

Ppppffftt. :howler: you don’t know me. I’m not one to boast and gloat however let’s just say I am ok. Picking up some tones of resentment from you a living hard life, hope wellness and prosperity for you.

You have some strange fantasies and desires.
It's not a fantasy nor a desire.

I just want you to know that when, not if, you suffer, you fully deserve it.

i'm not convinced it's entirely bout insider trading even if that is obvious reason. what he is doing especially with china is messing with bottom pocket of some big american companies. . these companies can't be happy with the uncertainty and relationship damage this orange monkey is causing.

there is only so much they will tolerate, insider trading or not.
They're going to fuck him up soon now.

It's like they say in Dr Strangelove: do you want problems with the Coca Cola Company?

90 days does nothing, so what do we just repeat this all over again in 3 months?
Obviously. And the scammers shall get even richer. Go look at MTG’s stock purchases over the past few days after tariffs, she bought quite a lot at the lows in prep for this Trump pause. They all knew. And now that they know how the market reacts, they shall do it again and again.

Maybe.

My guess is what will happen is what always happens: they will be hanged.

Go against economic interests of people powerful enough to start a countermovement and you're fucked. Doesn't matter if you're king or president.

Hell, they might just shoot him in broad daylight now. No one will care.

Too skinny. Anorexic Trump is scarier than normal Trump.

It's not even just a matter of businesses that depend on global trade.

The U.S. is a massive consumer of rare earth minerals to do much of anything in defense or energy. And China holds all the marbles. No amount of "onshoring" U.S. jobs will create necessary mineral deposits in the U.S. out of thin air.

A good article on what happened on bond markets this week that forced Trump’s hand. Basically the suspicion is that foreign holders of US debt started selling those bonds, which resulted in rise in yields.

That's the biggest story of all, really. Normally in turbulent market conditions you see global money follow "safety". The targets for safety normally include things like gold but also U.S. Treasuries.

The difference this time is people are dumping U.S. treasuries, recognizing that the U.S is the source of chaos and not stability. That makes the U.S. T-bill rates rise to attract reluctant buyers. In effect raising interest rates and increasing the U.S.'s cost of borrowing on its massive national debt.

It also means Trump is accelerating global de-dollarization: the very thing that he threatened BRICS countries over.

I will give credit where credit is due, and I am kinda reaching here. Trump is sowing unnecessary chaos by hitting the U.S. self-destruct button over his delusions of how economics work.

But I hate it when people fault politicians for "flip flopping". If something isn't working, everyone should be encouraged to change tactics and not be bound to a suicide pact.
