fruits of tariffs

... Won't have to guess at the tariffs... They will be decided
between The President and each of the 120+ nations who want
to negotiate and discuss things. ... And China will roll over soon.

... WINNING! ... ...

Trade Deficit Syndrome? Another brilliant diagnosis, doc! LOL! Didn't you demand to see someone's psych degree in a different thread? Maybe someone else, I just can't keep up with all the vitriol anymore.

You know, maybe people would take your posts seriously if you ratchet back the insults. Maybe not. It is possible to disagree with Trump (and you) without being labeled something.

I believe as the worlds biggest (allegedly) economy, we shouldn't be bullying our customers. We should be encouraging them to follow our lead and make it easier to do business with us.

I haven't seen a single business model that uses bullying as a pathway to success. Have you?

The on again off again threats, the insults, the name calling (from Trump and his faithful) have plunged the markets into chaos. Not entirely because of the prices, but also because of the uncertainty and volatility of dealing with Twump.

It's called "follow the leader" for a reason. We're not leading; merely shitting on those trying to follow us. Originally Posted by Yssup Rider

And the most obvious one that your TDS obscures.

Trump comes to terms with the countries that want to do business with the holder of 40% of world commerce. Tariffs become reciprocal including China. Manufacturing begins to return to the US. Jobs increase, wages increase, the country becomes more secure, and the average person thrives instead of the rich who rely on the fruits of the market. Trump may need his own mountain.

Below is an interesting polling result. It would not be hard to guess that you believe the 56 % have some form of TDS.

Stop lying to the American people


"President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed his tariffs are bringing $2 billion a day to the U.S. — but federal officials say otherwise.


A spokesperson for U.S. Customs and Border Protection — the agency that collects tariffs — told CNBC their office has taken in $21 billion in total tariff revenue from “15 presidential trade actions” since January 20, 2025"

I hardly think that calling out TDS is an insult...unless you think you actually have it and can't explain why. The great thing about TDS is that you don't need a medical degree to diagnose it.

You are new here, but you should have read the guidelines by now.


I went to a doctor. He said I don't have TDS. So you can stop now.
Or is this that important to you ?


There is only 1 person that has TDS.........Trump himself.

I'm glad the markets are closed today for Good Friday, so I don't have to look at more of that idiot's tariff carnage that he insists on unnecessarily implementing regardless of how materially it is killing our economy.

Somebody he actually listens to better get in that dipshit's ear and explain to him that he was not elected for all of this economic chaos.

MAGAs obviously have no stake in the economy. Especially those on Social Security or living off a rapidly dropping retirement account.

It ain’t no worse than sending half your salary to that TV preacher every month. It’s a bitter fruit, but just like Twitler’s wrecking ball economy, it’s all gonna be fine. (In 10 years or so)

Besides, it’s the only way to drive out the undesirables, eh?

If some do, I fail to understand why they are not outraged by their king's blatant mismanagement of the economy with his wishy-washy tariffs... only an incompetent fool like Trump could fuck this economy up so fast. Inexcusable.

He is now banned.


Trump fruits of tariffs: market has lost 5,000 points
Biden administration: + 12,830


Trump and his tariffs will need to find 17,830 points to equal the Biden administration.
That would be about a 50% gain from Friday's close.
