Do it, coward!

Serious question - How serious do you think Trump is about all these batshit tariffs on Canada, Mexico, BRICs, etc?

In other words - if you use a 1 to 10 scale then ~2 is Trump doing minor tariffs while he lies that it "punishes" the bad countries. 10 is Trump seriously damaging the US economy in record time.

[-] Bureaucrat@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago

As serious as he is with all of his policy: Fully committed to it until he talks to someone who he thinks is smarter than the last guy he talked to

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 62 points 1 day ago

idk because he talks so much shit and is so full of shit it's hard to tell what he'll actually do, outside of tax cuts for the rich, that's an automatic.

[-] ManFreakBeast@hexbear.net 39 points 1 day ago

He barely tried to do 1/4 of the shit he said he was gonna do his first term.

That he even knows about this dedollarisation narrative is concerning to me. I wouldn't dismiss it so easily and all that needs to happen is someone even slightly smarter next to him suggests sanctions instead of "tariffs" and shit starts getting quite serious imo.

Russia showed that being sanctioned by amerika is ultimately a good thing in the long term. Its not like China isn't just waiting with open arms to trade with all these countries.

In my opinion, if the biggest risk is the USA sanctioning a bunch of countries, then that's a great situation for the world. Both tarrifs and sanctions would sink the US economy even further while creating the conditions for accelerated global cooperation. If these are the two choices, the empire is finished.

The tariffs will happen, but if you donated to him, or are a subsidiary of a donor, your goods will be exempt. The highest tariffs are going to be on electric cars, for obvious reasons. So it'll fuck up things, the losers are consumers and corps that didn't pay him or enough, and the winners are Musk and similar

Canadian politicians are already threatening tarriffs directly on Tesla. My best guess right now is that very little of this stuff is actually going to happen.

[-] Bureaucrat@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

He'll tariff the EU just watch

Trump is the biggest fucking idiot dog, he legit has no understanding of the most elementary economic concepts

It wouldn’t be frustrating if millions of people didn’t believe that he wasn’t a billionaire genius 4d chess master

[-] Grapho@lemmy.ml 64 points 1 day ago

All the more reason to keep undermining the dollar.

The sooner it crashes, the sooner the world stops being constantly on fire.

[-] SteamedHamberder@hexbear.net 42 points 1 day ago

He’s just gonna issue his own currency next right?

[-] RedWizard@hexbear.net 43 points 1 day ago

Why do you think they sell those trump limited collectable coins 😎 once he makes those the official currency of Burgerland I'll be RICH!

[-] SteamedHamberder@hexbear.net 37 points 1 day ago

Needs to be pegged to my Iraqi dinars.

[-] SmokinStalin@hexbear.net 19 points 1 day ago

Crazy. Scary. Spooky. Hilarious. squirtle-jam

As long as BRICs nations take this threat seriously, this is great. It is a great incentive to develop a completely separate payment system.

[edit] And no need to have a BRICS currency! Just clear all payments in 50% of each side's own currency.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 31 points 1 day ago

Lol. Lmao even

[-] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 33 points 1 day ago

His brain is still actively in decline and by the time he takes office it's gonna be worse

[-] Yukiko@hexbear.net 36 points 1 day ago

This will probably do the exact opposite of what he wants it to do. So do it, coward.

[-] refolde@hexbear.net 32 points 1 day ago

Come on, do it asshole. I'm waiting.

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 30 points 1 day ago
