The Trump Tariffs thread

[SteveGrabowski]

Since Wednesday is my nephew's birthday I figured I'd go grab some discount Easter candy at Walmart to throw in with his presents and saw the same Lego set I bought for $60 a month ago is now $80 thanks to the Dotard Tax. I hope he doesn't ask for Legos for Christmas lol.

Better to tell the truth: Trump hates Santa Claus

Off to the races. DOW opening another 750 points in the red and heading redder.

All the interviews I hear of people who voted for him going "Well short term this could be a real problem for me personally but long term it might work out so let's see" are an incredible manifestation of faith based economics.

The smartest people were the ones who never trusted him and took their money out before the shit show began!

I stopped watching it at the opening. I check the closing at dinner when we turn on the local news.

You have it backwards…Santa hates Trump and is trying to make him look bad by passing the tariffs on to customers instead of absorbing the increases like a good, respectful ‘Murican company should do.

I'm caught in 2 minds.. do I trust the S&P 500 to recover or do I put it somewhere safer?

We've never had a government actively try to destroy America and S&P 500 was always based in the belief of America.

There aren't going to be toys to buy if this keeps up. Yesterday at Easter one of the guests is an importer. Almost all of their imports are from China. They have big retail clients in the us, they are quite wealthy. Nothing from China is making it here if the tariffs stay anywhere near where they are. Already this month has had more blank ships than the first month Covid kicked in 2020.

Yes, Trump has already caused more economic damage than COVID.
It'll just take a moment to feel the impact.
