OT: Tariff Economics Discussion

Additional tariffs on every country on Earth was a stupid idea pitched as an all-important, national security threat that lasted for a week until Trump thought better of it and retreated.

In other words, Trump wound up agreeing with us.
Nah. Just more shorting and then reversing the market. Just part of his/their con games. He learned he can game it.

You post like a person disappointed and angry about where they’re not in life.
Here I'll do you:
Vague smug claim
I respond saying you are vauge
you: pretentious put down to make yourself feel better

rinse and repeat. bot
 
You just can’t stand being wrong. Spin cycle, it is.

Cheers
Trump and I are now together on the freer trade with the EU team. Just like we're together on the deescalation with Russia team and other issues. I've already given an opinion as to why his pivot back towards my position doesn't even make sense as a "negotiating tactic," but I'm not engaging in the pissing match anymore.

Anyway, I'd rather argue on my own and be wrong than mindlessly follow a politician who changes his opinions, and in turn yours, like the weather.
 
Why? Are we supposed to feel thankful that he's "temporarily" half-way fixing a problem he created?
Yep that’s the MAGA playbook. Screw things up badly, get torched worldwide including by those in your own party, then slightly reverse course towards normalcy, then pat dear leader on the back for mitigating his own dumbshittery.

The fact that this cocks guy wants us to believe he’s a 1%er is hilarious given the monumentally stupid shit he supports.

All true and it's even crazier when you know his deeply held, batshit beliefs about COVID and the election.

This would be funny if it didn't literally keep happening. Like its really what keeps occuring. It's truly wild to watch.
The really sad part, too, is that the chuds can't comprehend the damage that Trump's illogical baboon behavior creates in terms of prospective partners wanting to invest in future projects in America. Who the hell wants to come to the table and make an investment with this moron just throwing his shit against the wall like he's at the zoo for the next 4 years?

The true issue is that he bounces all over the place with zero discipline or consistency. What company is going to invest in building a new factory to bring jobs back, when he may change his mind tomorrow. I honestly think most just wait him out.
 


Based on the lack of respect that China has shown to the World’s Markets, I am hereby raising the Tariff charged to China by the United States of America to 125%, effective immediately. At some point, hopefully in the near future, China will realize that the days of ripping off the U.S.A., and other Countries, is no longer sustainable or acceptable. Conversely, and based on the fact that more than 75 Countries have called Representatives of the United States, including the Departments of Commerce, Treasury, and the USTR, to negotiate a solution to the subjects being discussed relative to Trade, Trade Barriers, Tariffs, Currency Manipulation, and Non Monetary Tariffs, and that these Countries have not, at my strong suggestion, retaliated in any way, shape, or form against the United States, I have authorized a 90 day PAUSE, and a substantially lowered Reciprocal Tariff during this period, of 10%, also effective immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Reactions: Cocks are Number 1


Here's what's happening tonight with the US10yr and Chinese yuan.

In short: US treasury yields are rising because China has become a forced seller of UST in order to defend the collapsing yuan.

All Trump has to do is keep increasing the tariffs and this will put the yuan in a death spiral as the CCP is forced to continue selling UST in order to prop up the yuan.

It's checkmate. Bessent won.

China will be forced to make a deal.

@fatpiggy this is what you were discussing the other day right? Looks like it's moving the wrong way. Thoughts?

Honestly not a gotcha, I appreciate your thoughts on this thread.
I took the day off but yes I am very concerned about the 10 year yield climbing.

We essentially are in a currency hot war and so all bets are off.

The interest rate curve needs to go lower, and especially the back end. Very concerning to see it rise.
 
China got exposed.

They are on an island. We can go back a few pages and see the panicans worried about them teaming up with Korea Vietnam blah blah.

Now China is isolated. Their economy is in tatters and the world is agreeing that things can’t continue the way they are.

The US has the major upper hand here and that’s why you saw the market recover losses so fast.

Trump may have pulled it off. Let the man cook.

Wonder how much money he made?
 
I've talked about Pelosi. I hate it when anyone in government insider trades. Think they should have to have their money in a blind trust.

But also, she wasn't the one causing the shifting. Just profiting from it (I hate both ftr).
Pelosi never attempted to fix anything, except her financial well being.

I hope Trump made a dollar, as he certainly deserves it.
