It’s worst that a recession. America has been circling Stagflation since Covid. I think the bullshyt these people are doing pushes us into that and stagflation is worst than a recession and harder to get out of.
But if the government doesn’t release any information then is there any real stagflation?

The thing that made me realize what was coming was this story. The American economy is in trouble and people don't even know it. If consumers are worried and are not spending then we we are headed into a recession and that orange imbecile will only make it worse.

Yeah I need someone to explain this to me like I’m 5. We know the effect to the American consumer but how does this negatively affect Columbia too?
Price of the brick too high, no one buys the brick. Now you stuck with all these bricks, no customers.

Except you’ve got a country of a few billion people across the ocean with enough money to fill that void. And then there’s another country of a few billion right next door that also has the money to take some of those brics off em.

Eventually the entire world will just tariff us.

The day it all comes apart will be a huge shock to most Americans.

A world of 7 billion people wont be dictated to by a nation of 350 million for much longer..

You cant tell the international community, ''America First'' for much longer..they'll just band together and sanction you back.

It's an indirect way of getting Americans to boycott certain products. Colombian coffee will cost more than coffee from other regions so people will, in theory, stop buying it.

The risk, in my opinion, is the world market adapting to a world where it doesn't rely on America. If one person is unreliable and playing hard ball, the alternative is strengthening ties with others.

I also think people would do well to track the investment trends of those around him. It'll be interesting seeing how many people he's close to invest in competitors before the tariffs are announced.

The other threat is people just stop buying stuff. What he is attempting to do makes more sense if he has a strong economy. Basically if he did this in 2016 it makes sense.
