Tariffs

[grandhavendiddy]

Nasdaq is down 3000 since February even after today and we still haven’t seen what the payoff is going to be as far as trade concessions.

Trump folded because the bond market was collapsing, in part due to large scale selling by the countries we were tariffing (Japan most prominently), so we found the limits of that particular strategy.

However, convincing everyone that you’re crazy at the outset isn’t the worst negotiating strategy

First off, I am THRILLED that Trump injected the 90 days.

The main advocate/architect was Bessent and he over-rode Navarro who became a zealot.

It is also fascinating here, in line, albeit the opposite way, with friends on a separate FB forum on whether they are focused on the efficacy of Tariffs or on the impact (ranging from holiness to evil) of Trump.

One side has Trump committing insider trading; the other views any criticism as (essentially) “blasphemy”. So Trump is so singular as a figure, that discussions of him are almost matters of theology.

Again, it’s fascinating.

I do think it was the bond market. Bessent sees this literally first hand. Japan is our number one buyer (per earlier post). But billionaires losing 20-40 billion, people like Ben Shapiro and Dave Portnoy going “what?” And retirees seeing 20-25 percent of their savings evaporate also played a role.

What do I hope happens? Get closer to zero percent financial tariffs with the 60-70 countries, call it a win for now, then move to China and pivot to getting the budget passed along with removing the incredibly onerous regulatory structure that hell even Ezra Klein believes needs to be radically rethought and Trump is cruising again along with this country.

Wow. Where does all this visceral hate come from.? Feel sorry a fellow Gator fan is so troubled?😕

You are either for AMERICA, or against. I do not have much for people that are against. To me, this sounds like you.

The insider trading BS is just desperation, and said with ZERO evidence from people whose political choices got CLOBBERED in the election, and they still do not understand why. And please remember this…… These people are notorious for accusing us of things they have been doing all along!

What kind of president posts on social media: “It’s a good time to buy”, then hours later makes a move to shoot up the market?

Could you win in court with this RIDICULOUS, butthurt BS? NO....Go find proof...ANY proof, or go poop and one hand and wish in your other! That way, you will have poop in your hand! You need some time in your safe space with that shiny safety pin hung on your shirt!
