Tomorrow's theme at NYSE: "It all keeps tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down.
reciprocal tariffs
So is the party line here that these are just a reaction to other countries' tariffs and that if those tariffs are removed the US ones will be too? I have no doubt that they're lying and calling things "tariffs" that really aren't that, but if that's the logic then this move makes marginally more sense.
edit: okay I saw the thing where they decided tariffs are when you have a trade deficit and that is fucking hilarious. Does Don really expect other countries to start buying American shit? Our stuff is obscenely overpriced at the global level! The only way that happens is if he intentionally weakens the dollar, and if he does that we can't import anything anymore.

Vietnam, Taiwan, Thailand, Switzerland, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, Myanmar, Serbia, Botswana and Laos are confirmed to be on the American shit list
Trump's people really want to hit them hard, but why? Manufacturing new crises? Sabotaging China's belt and road?
It's just a calculation of US trade deficit divided by US imports from said country. The US is not picking on any country in particular with this announcement, it's just a base calculation that applies to almost every country.
He's just dumb as hell. Why is it so hard to believe a ruling class of systematic incompetence would lead to results like this?

US vs the World rap battle
I'm wondering how China, the EU and the rest of the world will retaliate and if they will have the resolve to make it really hurt in Washington.
