Aaaand Trump goes back on the tariffs, and nobody is surprised because the country is run by toddlers basically. Stock markets are back up. Wonder which of his friends made a pretty penny by buying during the low and selling for an overnight 5-9% profit
It’s exhausting to be honest, it’s generating so much news and tension over several industries leaving them with a bleak future ahead.
Been seeing talk of insider trading. Think that’s got any truth to it?
All his cronies would have gotten a nice payday.
But it's all legal though!!!
I doubt it's legal.
it is if you gut the SEC and stack the supreme court so there is no enforcement.
Neither is most of the shit he's done, and yet here we are.......
I sold at the bottom and bought cheese kranskys :(
Still winning though.
I'm surprised they even happened. I thought they'd be the sorry of things he talks about forever and never actually does. But I guess this is like the Muslim ban; do it, revoke it, blame other people, and talk about it without ever implementing it again
Almost feels like he did it purely to be able to boast to the American public that he (allegedly) had world leaders kissing his ass at a recent dinner due to these tariffs.
In other words - it's all just a fucking show leading up to an ever more disgusting version of politics from which there feels like there is no going back...
I’m waiting for the announcement of 1 millionth percent tariff on China, and for MAGA voters to keep insisting Trump knows exactly what he’s doing and America is now great again. I want to laugh, but am so sad for the Americans who didn’t want this. Another day in the American clown show.
there was a notice on my payment page from aliexpress about tariffs.
Chinese people expect many Americans to direct their anger at them and they are right, they just don't understand that trump lied and lied and lied
