Trump announces tariffs ranging from 10% to 49% for dozens of countries

[Rasille]

How did that motherfuker miss?

That was staged..

 

[HabitualChiller]

He said he's going to bring manufacturing back but he's doing it by annihilating the buying power of the middle and working class.

Yeah, he'll do that... by forcing them to work for slave wages in a factory

Man said he likes/supports tariffs
Said they will bring jobs back to America
But admits many jobs will be taken by robots because humans are expensive

thats why Big Tech backed Trump for AI De-Regulation. Essentially give them free reign to get AI and Robotics to where they need to be to replace the low wage worker needs

I do hiring for a mid-level transportation company. Been here about 3 years.

We had more applications come in this morning than the last 2 weeks combined. Still a good time to get your CDL. Plenty of flatbed and refrigerated work out there right now.

My boy is a trucker how will this impact him?

No lie in thinking about getting mines as a worse case scenario

Kamala told us…

B b bu but she's Jamaican Indian so she has to be wrong

 

[TheJet]

I'm not goin lie..

Any time I traveled throughout the world.

You never see American products..

Definitely don't see American cars and shyt..

And if you DO say.. I want some frosted flake in random 3rd world county the shyt is like 18 usd..

So learning these countries have such high tariffs on the US was mind blowing..

And knowing we only had a 2% tariff on some of those same countries is wild.

To what end tho? What the fukk do we even make in this country anymore?

 

[IIVI]

All that shyt talking about unqualified DEI hires for them to put together a team of uneducated white boys who sat in a room and said "lets ask [insert AI chat]." Disgusting.

Man, it makes sense that’s what they did.

Replace a ton of government employees by a few young naive college students overestimating their ability, who don’t know how shyt works so they ChatGPT “How to do this job?”

Some of the dumbest people on the planet. Who actually are the dumbest people on the planet.

Literally: MAGA are the dumbest people on the planet. Even a bunch of gangmembers wouldn’t be dumb enough to replace shyt they don’t understand.

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Finance/accounting firm. Not looking good fellas. Also...the prices aren't gonna come down in x months or years when Trump or someone else reverses these policies. This is going to do so much harm to companies they're going to keep their prices high to avoid wipeout...and then once they recover guess what. They'll argue the market has adopted the new prices so why lower unless someone undercuts us. We saw that at the end of last year. Inflation rate kept going down but general prices (groceries, cars, clothes, etc) didn't really drop enough for people to notice. This shyt is being baked into our economy and will remain for the long term.

I don't see how a new president can fix this in 2028.

I called it years ago. The maga effect after 2 terms will take a half a century to repair. But some idiots wanted to run this play thinking both sides are the same. They gonna live the rest of their natural lives paying for this election. Let that sink in. Most Americans today won't escape the fallout of the Trump effect in their lifetime.

It seems like they're intentionally trying to crash the economy because.... They're intentionally trying to crash the economy!

No, you misunderstand. Project 2025 required the government to be trashed first, then rebuilt into a perfect fascist government . They're not struggling, it's going as planned!

Nah the first part is right they are trying to crash the economy, the rebuilding part however they don't care as they already bought many more stocks. Problem is that intentionally crashing the economy isn't the 'buy low sell high' play they think it is and has massive consequences.

The knew the tariff levels they wanted to get to then worked backwards to get to the formulation. But don’t worry the tariffs are going well, probably the best tariffs ever. 🫣

We won the Cold War...then Trump comes along three decades later and surrenders US sovereignty to the dictator in power in Russia, a former KGB colonel, and war criminal.

Almost every country in Europe besides the former USSR has been a US ally for 80 years.

It's the opposite of that now.

I watched astonished hosts on CNBC as they worked it out, hours after the rest of us knew. Mouths were open.

The policies begin to make sense if you consider that they are being implemented by a foreign agent hellbent on destroying the country while hiding his real motives by legitimately blaming abusive treatment by the US’s largest trading partners. Tricky situation.

This is intentional. President Muck, co-president rTrump, Project 2025 creator, Russia and Israel want America to crash and burn, so they can rebuild the utopia of their dreams. They believe, if they can make the masses so desperate, there will be very little resistance during the rebuild!!

No, I'm not a Trump person. As for why Lawrence Summers is a scumbag, this is a guy who said Africa was underpolluted so we should dump our garbage there, he was against greenhouse gas reductions, interfered in S Korea's economy, tried to fukk over California's environmental regulations,
