The Tariffs are failing....

Except that Chinese representatives have been seen coming into federal buildings to negotiate. Just because they don't tell you what's happening every second doesn't mean it isn't going on. Though I'm sure Chairman Xi appreciates the full support of you and the other usual suspects. Originally Posted by Lantern2814

to negotiate things with President Trump - and the lads
here claimed it didn't happen. ...

... China's in trouble - they need to be able to export.
They NEED a fair negotiation - which is all Trump wants.

And now - here's India surely coming to the table.
With other nations not far behind. ... WINNING! ...

That's not what a bookie charges. It's more along the lines of a mob boss or loan shark.

Good times are coming, yet it seems a lot of people would rather complain about one man as they get left behind

The impact on consumer goods has barely started.
Any economic model takes at least a few months minimum to see initial results, which may be misleading, as those are initial results.

Most all tariffs back to 10%.


Thankful the administration has some people that understand tariffs, and have not been fired yet.

Right now he is only 1,800 Dow points from getting everyone's 401k back.


Except those who panicked and sold.......


Another 90 days to see what tariffs may end up to be. 90 more days of uncertainty for business people.

All the tariff pressure and midnight Truth Social posts are taking their toll.
