The orange man baby in full idiot mode once more.
Perhaps time for those who want an electric vehicle to vote with their feet and send the U S A a message by purchasing an alternative ? [Post edited 27 Mar 18:20]

And now the Dow Jones Index has crashed after Trump’s tariff announcement last night  |
Not sure i'd be clapping that given that most people's pensions will currently be tanking as a result of the orange idiot not understanding economics.
Still i'm sure it's worth the global recession, handing international power to China, destabilising the world, pushing people into poverty and defunding scientific research into medicines like cancer cures as he's stuck it to the WOKE penguins... |  | | |

Exactly this. The markets are in turmoil. Americans waving MAGA flags will be seeing their pension pots hit. Trump will back down claiming a great victory of course but what little credibility he has will be left in tatters. If he doesn’t back down things could turn ugly pretty quickly. The US markets performance today will be crucial. |  |

NASDAQ, Dow and all markets tanking again, after Chinese just responded with 34% tariffs.
Meanwhile, Trump is at an LV golf event at one of his courses, and posting that he will not change Tariffs. Watch this space - the orange man will be under major pressure to cave in and change.
Many countries have wised up and learned from his first term and are prepared to stand up to this idiot. He really is clueless about tariffs. It's all going to boom according to Trump !
He will cause irreparable damage to farming (e.g. Soya etc), whose biggest market is China. They will just go to countries like Brazil.
I spent a lot of time working in US (NY and St Louis) and still have many friends there who I have kept in touch with, They absolutely despair what Trump is doing. [Post edited 4 Apr 14:36]

The trade deficit the USA has with other countries tries is down principally 3 things.
1, Some goods and services are not available from a US source, such as rare earth metals.
2. USA consumers prefer the style, cost and quality of overseas goods and services, and buy them.
Both of these are quite normal and legitimate.
However, US companies have outsourced production overseas, the automotive industry is a classic example and also much touted by the orange one. This is US business going for profits above USA welfare. It is a legitimate action, supporting the global free trade that the USA promoted because it thought it would win out.
Apple is a prime example of hardly even trying to manufacture in the USA, and 70% of all pharmaceutical research takes place in the US along with the relevant patents. Again, little effort made to manufacture in the USA. Both of these industries are very high margin indeed, so ample opportunity to take a relatively marginal hit on costs by producing locally.
The Musk idiot is an arch proponent of free speech, but his boss is an arch proponent of impeding freedom of choice when buying or sourcing. |  |

What a complete fruit loop.
Trump has been live on SKY News for the last hour or so.
Bloke is unbelievable.
One of his nerds asks him to sign an Executive Order about an ambassador for Israel.
Trump (signs the order): “very good; this guy is really going to bring home the bacon (then pauses), though they aren’t big on bacon in Israel….” |  |

Not surprising from the man who yesterday said world leaders were wanting to kiss his arse

Wonder how many of his cronies made money out of him crashing the market, then suspending the tariffs today. [Post edited 9 Apr 22:16]

You have to laugh at the Trump supporters whooping with joy when he announced the $2 billion a day money coming into the US coffers from the tariffs. Don’t think they have twigged yet where that money is coming from. | |

Add Belarus and North Korea to this list.
The Republicans and his 'yes men' like Navaro and Lutnik say that it was because there are already sanctions on these countries , but the US still does $3b+ of trade with Russia. [Post edited 10 Apr 9:43]

It has finally dawned on him that global US tariffs will not work. Yesterday he nearly had a similar moment to Liz Truss where the Bond market started to tank. Many countries, including Japan were selling US bonds, which were supposed to be a safe haven. The world can no longer depend on US.
I was surprised that Howard Lutnik (who was CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald and loaded !) didn't advise against tanking the Bond market, which would have increased interest rates, US liquidity in Bond market to service debt and increase inflation. These are not actions that would deliver Trumps promise to reduce costs on day 1 as he promised. He can't even sort the supply of eggs in US.
Trump thinks he is a financial guru, but really doesn't have a clue how markets function.
I did laugh at his Cabinet and that weird communications advisor, Karoline Leavitt, where they tried to spin Trump's ignorance, saying it was all part of the plan.
This may all settle down, but there will be long term impact to US relations, especially with Canada and, Europe and Mexico. [Post edited 10 Apr 9:47]

They do have sanctions, but also still do $3.5b worth of trade with Russia. | | | |

While Trump is doing his best to fook things up, no one is talking about Rachel Reeves tanking the British economy with her budget! Growth has been halved to 1% which is catastrophic. | | | |

Oddly enough, where you say it is all part of the plan...some UK financial analyst was saying a few days back that what DT is doing is genius. I cannot recall all of the why's but it was something to do with lowing the bond market so interest rates drop so he can then refinance the nation debt at a much lower rate and pump the money saved in repayments back into the US economy. Now, I can tell you I have a very limited knowledge of how these things work, so I have no clue at all if this guy was on the money or not. But all of what DT did and the results of what he did are falling into line with what this guy said would happen. | | | |

I really hope those people who want to vote reform are watching closely what happens when you vote in a leader based on a single policy like immigration.
There's a fag paper between Reform and Trump and they'd destroy this country exactly the same as Trump is doing to the US | | | |

Spot on City boy.
Trump may think that he’s Billy Big Bollocks but when the Bond Market Vigilantes say jump, even he has to enquire “ how high” ? Hence his face saving capitulation yesterday.
It’s not coincidence that Covid supposedly ended very suddenly in the U K. Nothing to do with the medical evidence and everything to do with Johnson and Sunak being unable to borrow any more money at favourable terms to throw at the public.
Same with Liz Truss, the Bond Market Vigilantes didn’t like her economic policies and within 49 days she was just a footnote in history. | |
