China can go fuck itself.
but treating Taiwan and our other Asian allies exactly like China? utter idiocy..

Trump borrowed his tariff plan from an elite economist,...who happens to be a really smart-ish 3rd grader..

all the real economists are like, "hell naw, don't quote me for this fuckery.."

University of Chicago economics professor Brett Neiman. there are more. let me know if you would like a 2nd helping..

https://www.thedailybeast.com/econom...-it-all-wrong/

it reminds me of Maximus and Quentus in Germania where the invincible Roman army offered a peaceful surrender to the overwrought barbarians. Quentus said, "A people should know when they are beaten.."

Maximus retorted, "Would you? Would I?"

so there's that..
name one

do you really expect a Biden-era economist is going to agree with Trump using his research?

the man doesn't know how to negotiate .. you don't start low .. you start high on purpose then negotiate down

"Neiman said that he disagrees “fundamentally” with Trump’s approach to trade policy. But regardless, the calculations are simply off: “Our findings suggest the calculated tariffs should be dramatically smaller—perhaps one-fourth as large."


this guy couldn't negotiate a car date blowjob on Harry Hines

That’s all you got TWK? Unsupported attack on the source because you know you can’t discredit his creds.

Quite predictable.

You can’t defend the indefensible yet you’ll fight to you last breath trying. Trump has tanked the world markets on a whim. He's fucking nuts. You keep bringing up Biden. Why’s that? He is old and feeble at the end. But Trump is fucking nuts.

Stand for nothing and you’ll fall for anything. The proof is plain as the nose on your face.

what's unsupported about the fact this guy is a Biden-era hack?

of course he's going to try to walk back his own research because Trump cited it.

what's as plain as the nose on my face?

that you despise Trump?

that's obvious

Well, if Republicans are too chicken shit to bad mouth Trump and his poorly thought-out tariff plan, might as well go after his flunky "yes men" bitches.

President Trump thus far has faced limited public critiques from Republican allies on his tariff plans. His top aides have not been so lucky.

Questions surrounding leading economic members of Trump's White House team reached new heights in recent days as a tariff rollout notable for questionable math and mixed messaging helped lead to a market rout that continued to escalate Monday, even as the president and his team remained defiant.


I think Trump will backtrack a bit. He only really cares about the rich and I doubt they're very happy about losing millions and in Elon's case, billions a day because of Trump's stupidity and laziness when it came to actually executing his grandiose tariff plan. The market will say soon enough whether or not it agrees with my optimism.

Edit for 500sl below: I don't disagree with you, but I think it would be best to buy back in when some ambiguity has been erased. Right now, Trump is nothing but confusion and that hardly helps with all of the ambiguity that investors are still facing about the short term. With Trump's stupid ass, he may wake up one day and increase tariffs more or decrease them significantly. His current reality TV show is not fun for investors to watch while thinking about their wallets. I say err on the side of caution and wait. I learned a painful financial lesson in 2008. I won't make that same mistake twice.

Correct, it has never failed to recover.

While there are many who disagree on the tariffs, I believe every "expert" advises against trying to time the market and instead ride it out.

True, it has never failed to recover. Can you state that everyone who lost money during a crash lived long enough to recover their losses??


I'm with LM on this one, I shifted to more protected positions and I'm waiting until there's stability to move back into this self created shit show.
