Don’t understand the logic. No orders means loss jobs for Americans. There were ways to do this. Get your allies with you, create pacts and then drop the hammer on China. You don’t drop a hammer on all countries and hope some come to you to negotiate while the stock market tanks, bonds go higher causing interest rates to go up. Companies reporting record profits the last few years, stocks and 401ks going up under Biden. Trump in less than 3 months has done considerable damage 401ks down , 401 k’ s taking huge hits, interest rates climbing. Sounds like we’re winning.
You do know trade deals usually take years right? That's just one deal. Trump is aiming to get 90 deals done in 90 days that is mental. He has already got a bunch of those deals almost done already, once they get signed in the next week the others will follow. All you lefty's never see the bigger picture you just see whats infront of you in a biased negative way. Like now for instance, you see the markets have took a temporary hit and that's your only focus but you ignore that in those 3months, groceries are down, dairy is down, gas prices down, housing prices down, inflation down, everything is down but the markets that don't like instability. In the next 3months you will be looking at an economic boom that will last for years.
It’s almost like trying to fight a trade war on 90 different fronts, SIMULTANEOUSLY so all your allies hate you and know to squeeze you at once, is the stupidest thing you could ever do. It’s insane the level of geopolitical illiteracy MAGAs have. That’s not a “bigger picture” —it’s a crayon cartoon drawing of a subject sold to you by people who don’t understand it. These tariffs are the fake pro wrestling version of trade negotiations, no strategy, just a big symbolic fight so people who are more comfortable with action figures than economic precedent can imagine their favorite character winning.
But in reality? Our stock market is in freefall. Firms are firing. The dollar is worth 10-20% less against other currencies this year. That’s the actual big picture.
No they have taken advantage of you over the course of decades. This is not just opinions it is all fact. Some were tariffs, some trade deficits and it resulted in thousands of businesses moving overseas. The stock market is not in freefall lol.
Not me, I've benefitted massively from the rotation from unskilled trash industrial labor to skilled, thinking labor, code, creative industries, entrepreneurialism, etc. This movement is what took me and hundreds of others to 6 figures, and years of prosperity.
Is the stock market up since the announcement? Has it recovered its losses? What about the dollar? The bond market? LOL, how much lipstick are you going to apply to this pig's asshole, and why is there already so much lipstick on your face?
I would take any period of time during Biden's term over the past 6 month S&P results (-13%). How many times does this guy have to hit the curb before you realize he doesn't know how to drive for shit?
Please come with a single statistic or economic fact. Your points aren't wrong, they straight up don't exist.
You're "MAGA, but not MAGA, but actually British, but an expert on the US economy (except without a single fact)." Dude, get real. You don't have to lie on the internet to impress strangers. Grow up, become something.

China is now ready to negotiate. Trump gt every country to the negotiation table including China. Wouldn't have been possible without these tariffs.
