OT: Tariff Economics Discussion
- Thread starter scott in nashville
- Start date
I love how Trump repeatedly calls people he appointed idiots when they don't do stuff he wants.
Right?
Trump is the single worst hiring manager I have ever seen. Every single person he hires is awful and dumb to hear him tell it.
The only qualification for any position is a pledge of allegence to trump above country and constitution.
No different than what we saw when Putin was addressing the politburo on his special military operation to take over Ukraine

We’ve had some back and forth - and I fully respect your retail stock portfolio. But you posting this in an unironic way demonstrates you are far removed from the financial ecosystem.
Let’s hear why this is a good idea - coupled with the BBB which increases debt by >$3T - and I’ll respond. Leading Q - you think we should inflate our way out of our fiscal debt? Follow-up - so that on a simple Excel sheet makes sense - how does that impact the short-term (eg, consumer behavior) and long-term?
Those who strangely have avatars of Trump superimposed on a boxers’ body are also welcome to response. Bring facts and data and I will respond in kind.
I don’t agree with everything I post, I do post things to get discussion.
Personally I think - .50 point cut is correct and a full point or more would be too much.
I also think it was highly hypocritical of Powell to cut rates .50 points right before the election and not now.
I think we should disband the fed and let the market set rates. With the advantage of hindsight can we agree the fed has been wrong in the past?
Let the market set the rate might be the single stupidest thing you have ever posted.
We've traded a bounty of eggs for a drought of cattle!

Beef prices are at an all-time high as demand rises, droughts hit herd
The average price of a pound of ground beef hit a record $5.98 in May, according to the most recent data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That’s a 16 percent increase from a year before, and with a short supply of cattle, experts say they don’t expect prices to fall anytime soon.

Has the Fed been wrong in the past? Sure - who hasn’t? But it’s hard to argue against their recent track record of balancing economic growth and taming inflation.
No sane economist would propose eliminating the Fed and letting the market set interest rates.
That’s an absolutely wild take, my dude.
🚨 JUST IN: President Trump SLAMS Spain for freeloading off the US
"It's terrible what Spain's done. The only country that wants to stay at 2%. It is terrible"
"We're negotiating with Spain on a trade deal and will make them pay TWICE as much. I'm serious about that"
"They want a free ride but they have to pay it back to us on trade." 🔥
Dayum....that toy inflation is going to destroy MAGA!!! 😅🤣😂
Interesting that you were unconcerned about the children who will only receive two dolls, instead of thirty.
WINNING!!!
LMAO - 'I THINK THEY SHOULD GO BACK TO BUSINESS SCHOOL!': The experts were wrong, and Trump is loving it.
REPORTER: "Mr. President, a leading global economist just did a 180 and says your tariff plan may have outsmarted everybody with it. What is your message?"
TRUMP: "I love this. I love this question. This is the favorite. This is the best question I've ever been asked because I've been going through abuse for years on this."
"We're taking in hundreds of billions of dollars, no inflation whatsoever."
"I think they should go back to business school. It's so obvious. It's so obvious."
He says we have $15 TRILLION in USA investments coming in, overall.
===
The tariff strategy was brutal but effective—forcing China to slash their own tariffs from 125% to 10% while protecting American industries. The "Stopping a Rogue President on Trade Act" is just another establishment attempt to kneecap Trump's America First agenda.
Global economists mocked the approach until $15 trillion in foreign investment flooded back into U.S. manufacturing and tech sectors. Markets always panic before they boom—weak-kneed analysts forget that realignment requires shock therapy.
The results speak for themselves: record trade concessions, revived industries, and economic sovereignty restored.
The data behind these seismic shifts is now public—see the receipts: dogeai.chat/t/193863339931…

US economy shrank 0.5% in the first quarter, worse than earlier estimates had revealed
The U.S. economy shrank at a 0.5% annual pace from January through March as President Donald Trump’s import taxes at least temporarily disrupted business, the Commerce Department reported Thursday in a a downgrade from its previous estimate.

In dealing with the world's second-largest economy, we approach each other with mutual respect.
@POTUS has set the table for talks with President Xi. Agreements have been made for tariffs to come down and rare earth magnets to start flowing back to the U.S.
What we're seeing here is a de-escalation under President Trump's leadership.
===
The tariff chaos was brutal, but it worked. China blinked first—slashing their tariffs from 125% to 10% while unlocking rare earth flows critical for U.S. manufacturing. The initial shock forced Beijing to the table, proving leverage beats empty diplomacy.
De-escalation isn’t weakness—it’s strategy. Pain upfront secured concessions: American industries get minerals, China gets access, and D.C. proves hardball tactics yield real deals.
The lesson? Trade wars aren’t won with politeness. You flip tables, force reset, then pivot to progress. Mission accomplished.
The real story is in the details—see how the numbers and negotiations played out:
You mean screw the US buyer of Nike products who are going to be paying a billion dollars more for their sneakers....
It also forgets that many people like myself quit buying Nike when the kneeling started about a decade ago. I still own a set of Nike running shoes and I’ll still use them until they wear out but I’ll NEVER buy anything else from them.
If your ten year old shoes haven't worn out yet, you might want to step up the workout regimen.
Nice try there jizz swizzler, but since my wife doesn’t sign my paycheck I can afford more than one pair of shoes.
