Dow Surges Over 1,000 As Trump Trade Deals Begin To Crush The Legacy Media

[Mashmont]

Yes. And then it will have a run of going down.

The ONLY thing that can be said about the markets is that over time, it will ALWAYS go up.

Buy the dips and hold until it is time to retire.

Getting excited over single day movement is pretty ******* lame.

11 of 14 is a pretty significant streak.

That isn’t what happened both sides escalated and now China has reduced their tariffs lower and more favorable to the United States, which helps alleviate the trade deficits. Also, the United States is China’s top consumer of Chinese products and China’s economy would take a huge hit if the tariffs continued.

If this is Trump caving, I am happy with caving as a win.

I want china’s economy to take a huge hit

The more it hurts the CCP the better I like it

 

[leftwinger]

Pretty tricky the way President Trump got the rest of the world to also re-set unfair deals with China right away.

Forcing CCP to “see the light” with the USA, faster. Right commee candy and the crew?

 

[Arresmillao]

Is the stock market the only, or even most important metric we should be paying attention to?

Of course not.

Reshoring manufacturing jobs, lowering prescription drug prices, fostering peace around the globe, securing our own border - and making our military great again are all far more prominent in priority.

However, the Legacy media know it alls planted the goalposts.

And their huge harbinger of doom was that Trump's TRADE WARS (BE AFRAID, PANIC!) - would tank the stock market.

How's that working out?

There are a lot of threads on here from just a month ago that have already aged horribly.

Do they ever, EVER get anything right?

No, they don't.

And yet they never learn.

"maganomics" has caused long lasting damage to America, wait to see how the hard data continues showing s negative growth, inflation, etc. and if the regressive budget takes place, adding ten trillion to our debt, the damage will be severe and permanent....

 

[Hollie]

Right, Trump cut the taxes that we would be paying via the tariffs when he surrendered this past weekend.

I appreciate you have a job to do and have to spin his humiliating defeat but you sound like a ******* idiot.

Tariffs are taxes on consumers.

Reduced tariffs would then be reduced taxes on consumers.

Thanks for so handily making yourself a moron.

 

[airplanemechanic]

I bought in as much as I could during the downturn, now riding that RED WAVE!!!!

US stocks surged on Monday after President Donald Trump’s top trade officials brokered a surprisingly dramatic de-escalation in trade tensions with China over the weekend, dropping tariffs to much lower levels, which some economists say could stave off a US recession.

The Dow rose more than 1,000 points, or 2.5%. The broader S&P 500 was 2.85% higher, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite gained 4%.

US stocks were set to erase all their losses since Trump’s April 2 “Liberation Day” trade announcement, which placed a 10% tariff on practically all goods coming into the United States and set significantly higher tariffs on dozens of countries.

Elsewhere, Russia is coming to the negotiation table. First time ever. India and Pakistan have a ceasefire. Tensions are easing in Gaza. Trump flipped hundreds of billions in China trade deal. We have deals with the 5th and 6th economies in the world. Savings of additional hundreds of billions. Investment in America is now in the trillions. Corporate HQs and industry are FLOODING back to the US. DJIA has risen 11 of the past 14 sessions.

Guys, I am so buoyant and overflowing with excitement this morning, I am busting at the seams. I am giddy with joy and optimism. How can anyone not be super excited for the future of America with this great man in charge?? He's doing EXACTLY what he promised to do on every single front.

Seriously, you just don't know how much the Lefty's are going to be

 

[Papageorgio]

What is so amusing is Trump can’t win with left wing nuts, Biden raised tariffs in May of last year but the left said nothing but Trump raises them and it is all out doom and gloom, then when a deal is struck, is called Trump caving, even though we Americans get a better deal than before. This is pure emotion from the left.

We are the biggest consumer in the world and we should get favorable pricing just because of sheer volume.

Also, if the United States buys less from China, their economy will start hurting, it isn’t a one way street.

Ignorant leftism has done damage to the whining, ignorant politico-religious ideology of failure and ineptitude that grips the left.

Did you ***** about Biden adding trillions to the debt? Did you ***** about Biden’s original $6.4 trillion budget?

 

[WEATHER53]

Please, get a clue.

When the left were losing their ever loving minds over the Market going down, I told them and anyone else, that it will be back up.

It was.

I don't panic when markets go down, don't get jubilant when they go up.

The Markets will do ONE ******* THING consistently

Go up. Over Time.

Anyone who thinks otherwise needs a ******* keeper.

I could give you 5 stock abbreviations and you would know none
I don’t need a clue, I’m well past that as a decades owner.
You need to own at least one before showing further your ignorance

 

[WelfareQueen]

He imposed the tariffs he then removed.

Thats called surrender.

322-226!

Ah, victory in retreat. Smart move, Donald.

Your surrender is accepted.

It seems you're fighting an uphill battle against logic and reality

It seems you're fighting an uphill battle against logic and reality

Reality was that we bought $300B more than we sold to China in 2024. Reality is also that despite the blob’s temper tantrum, we’re pretty much back to the same conditions excpet in the mean time, consumer confidence went into the toilet as did a lot of people’s 401k.

Logic would dictate that if you’re honest, you should really question the sanity of the blob since we’re back where we started.

You do not live in reality and are not guided by logic.

No, you’re happy characterizing Trump’s humiliating defeat as a win.

We are a thousand points lower on the stock market than when Trump took office, how dod our 401k’s take a hit? It is 2% lower, that’s it. The tariffs favor the United States and are lower on both sides than before, that helps we Americans more as it costs less for us to purchase their goods and it drops prices for the Chinese so they purchase more of our goods.

Reality is you hate someone so bad that you can’t be honest for one second, how much bitching did you do when Biden raised tariffs in May of last year? Probably none because it was a Democrat and not Trump. Your emotions are overriding logic.

 

[Papageorgio]

No, you’re happy characterizing Trump’s humiliating defeat as a win.

That is the certainly the way your emotions see it, the facts say differently.
