I was right.

It is so funny to see these asshats like papsmear and the lot try to justify their whole "Own the libs" shit, As Rome burns.

-------------------------
It was fun while it lasted.

Meh, Trumpatsy is a shill.
whatever.

Anyway, Jim Cramer was for the tariffs in principle and backed Trump...but not now that trump revealed his plan and experiencing today's market he has done a 180.
He is calling the Trump team amateur bush leaguers.

It is an interesting interview.

I was right.

I too was against free trade agreements, because they allowed US industries to skirt labor and environmental regulations to exploit countries without protections at the expense of American workers. We could've used our post WWII economic might to apply diplomatic and economic pressure on our trading partners to level the playing field by encouraging them to adopt labor and environmental standards.

But here we are trying to fix a problem we created with more war tactics.

I was hoping to see some of these countries responding with attempts at negotiating a reduction in their own tariffs, because a return of US manufacturing seems unlikely. But news of China's response this morning is bleak, retaliatory tariffs on US exports and even considering full sanctioning of 11 US companies, some that are entirely dependent on China

Every piece of outsourcing legislation ever passed has a Republican name at the top of it.

There is a better way to do this, but it's Donzo we are talking about.

I was right.

Hey, the American people decided to FA, so now it's time to embrace the FO.

"Own the libs" until you're broke.

The real reason DonOld is enacting the tarrifs:

Blame it on the fentanyl!

Donald Trump just made the rationale for his tariff "Liberation Day" crystal clear: revenge.

In a post on Truth Social late Tuesday, the president said that the tariffs were his administration's "fight" against Democrats' "wild and flagrant push to not penalize Canada for the sale, into our Country, of large amounts of Fentanyl, by Tariffing the value of this horrible and deadly drug in order to make it more costly to distribute and buy."

Approximately 0.2 percent of American fentanyl seizures occur at the Canadian border, according to federal statistics.

Tim Apple made a deal with Trump and got a break on the tariffs the last time around, then moved I-Phone production to India. India got one of the higher tariffs from a trump tantrum.

I was right.

But hey, Dementia Donnie did enact tariffs on an island with penguins, and ZERO humans!

Trump's trade war targets an island full of penguins, but Russia faces no new tariffs

Aside from climate change and pollution, penguins are now facing one more threat from humanity: President Donald Trump's tariffs.

Trump on Wednesday announced expansive tariffs on more than 180 countries and regions to retaliate against what he characterized as unfair trade practices by other countries.

While Vladimir Putin's Russia was left out of the long list, Trump slapped 10% tariffs on Heard Island and McDonald Islands, two mostly barren, tiny outposts largely populated by penguins.

The island group is located in the middle of the Antarctic Ocean and remains among the world's most remote places where no humans live. Administered by the Australian government as an external territory, the island group covers 140 square miles, is about 2,400 miles southwest of mainland Australia, and requires a two-week sail for a visit.

The orange jesus seems to be forgetting the primary rule of marketing.
Supply and demand.
They wouldn't supply it if there wasn't a demand.
We have a huge drug problem in this country and we need to work with the addicted to get them off drugs.
If they don't get fentanyl they will turn to something else like sniffing sharpies.

Oh, and punishing Canada for the insignificant amount of fentanyl that crossed their boarder is just ludicrous. Trump is just trying to rationalize and give soundbites to the cult.
Sad he can't address the real problem openly, which is that we have a drug problem.
Maybe it is too close to home?

Blaming other countries for our addiction problems, from the former party of personal responsibility

Biggest story of the day is that our markets are down something like 10% over the last couple days and fox is talking about everything but that.
First mention of it was like 11 stories down the page.
