Trump caved on some of the highest tariffs but he still kept 10% on all countries. This isn't quite what a lot of people were thinking which is why the market is back down today as people realize we still have historically high tariffs against the world.Keep telling yourself that is not a capitulation on what he tried to do.
Now, China knows they just need to wait him out.
They realize Trump is still in charge and he does not learn well. Trump will return to using tariffs to bludgeon the world. They will respond similarly. This is all Daffy Donald's mess.Trump caved on some of the highest tariffs but he still kept 10% on all countries.

You've been conspicuously absent from your thread today.Oh, and BTW,....news reporting China begging to make a deal now.

China has been avoiding the tariffs for years. Simply by shipping to Vietnam first. I absolutely love the fact that those who were in the front row of his inauguration have lost billions in two weeks.Trump caved on some of the highest tariffs but he still kept 10% on all countries. This isn't quite what a lot of people were thinking which is why the market is back down today as people realize we still have historically high tariffs against the world.
And yet the left is upset that they cannot convince people that they "won"... <smh>...Trump did exactly what me and everyone on the left wanted him to do: cave on his tariffs.
Maybe the root cause isn't the tariffs per se but investors worrying Trump can't be trusted not to be a maniac.They don't trust Trump to back off on his tariff obsession.

Over 1000 now.The market is down 900 points now.
What did we win? Trump is still in office and the clown show will continue. Tariffs have not gone away. I doubt his advisers can talk Trump out of doing them again. Musk got hurt badly by them. Many financial pros took huge hits. Trump thinks he knows everything. he cannot be wrong, so tariffs will return.And yet the left is upset that they cannot convince people that they "won"... <smh>...
Ask Cypress, he thinks Trump has "done exactly what the left has been asking for"... and the left on this site seems to want us all to believe that they "won" by getting him to do what the left wanted him to do...What did we win?

It's all part of the same package. Trump is obsessed with tariffs, the most beautiful word in the English language according to him. He's unable to admit error and strongly believes that if he just keeps pushing that he will be proven correct. This, of course, is very irrational on his part and why investors can't trust him to follow sound economic advice on rectifying any inequities in trade.Maybe the root cause isn't the tariffs per se but investors worrying Trump can't be trusted not to be a maniac.
Nobody is wining anything in this except the Chinese and, to a lesser extent, the Russians. While Trump has backed off for the moment, only idiots believe he'll drop his tariff obsession.And yet the left is upset that they cannot convince people that they "won"... <smh>...
Nope, I voted for the candidate who wasn't in favor of a global trade war and crashing the markets.You must be so happy.
Trump caved for now, but being irrational, I suspect he'll be back with more.Nope, I voted for the candidate who wasn't in favor of a global trade war and crashing the markets.
I am glad Trump chickened out and caved on his tariffs.
Who's going to believe his threats? He couldn't even keep his tariff regime in place for 24 hours before getting cold feet and caving.Trump caved for now, but being irrational, I suspect he'll be back with more.
