Tariff Man and his tariff plan cause market plunges

How is Jim Beam having to shut down production for a full year "America First"? How does this MAGA?

The comforting part is knowing most of these morons voted for Tariff Man. So, they're getting exactly what they deserve.

Bourbon certainly has taken a hit. But it is helping me find some good bottles at lower prices that used to be snapped up as trade bait
Is there nothing that Tariff Man's tarriffs can't make worse? Makers of the famous "Beatles bass", Höfner, in business since 1887, now has an uncertain future thanks to king fuckhead's nonsensical trade war.

Fuck you, Tariff Man.

Do the world a favor and burn in hell.

Another TACO we can enjoy. Meanwhile we have nearly a dozen plans for tariff revenue from Tariffman.

As we approach the end of 2025, many farmers feel Tariffman's bailout is too little, too late after the damage his tsriffs unleashed upon them

Let's see... didn't I read somewhere that the Chinese promised to buy 12 million tons of US soybeans in the last 2 months of 2025? Ooof! Another lie by our trustworthy Chinese trading partners! But hey, why blame the liars, it's all Trump's fault!
trump's the biggest liar in U.S. history. Of course it's his fault. None of this, and I mean none of this, needs to be happening. Every single one of these tariffs is unnecessary and most of them are specifically hurting American citizens.

Of course it's trump's fault. If China lied to the king of all liars and he got played? Who else's fault would it be? The buck stops at the fat fuck.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Soybeans —53%
Cotton —89%
Beef —54%
Pork —20%
Wheat —100%
Tree nuts —88%
Dairy products —2%
Corn —99%
Hides and skins —34%

I know you don't look at the big picture, but at least you said one thing we agree on

We have 2 leaders. You view both as liars. One of them is attempting to advance the economic interests of the United States, while the other is working to undermine those interests. Again, you view both as liars. But when the Chinese leader is caught brazenly lying, you somehow blame the US leader.

Do I understand you correctly? In our bilateral trade negotiations, you are actively rooting for China and applauding whenever you think the US is getting played?

Please confirm.

You're right, the Chinese did "massively interrupt" their US soybean purchases. The "late buys" were supposed to be a good-faith gesture on their part to put trade talks back on track.

They keep promising to start working with us to correct a lopsided trade imbalance. You do know we buy $3 of their goods for every $1 they purchase from us, right Gristle?

Looks like that "good-faith" gesture was just another in a long series of Chinese lies. But you're cool wid dat, right Gristle? It's all trump's fault for daring to tackle the problem!

We should just let the trade deficit grow, and grow, and grow...
