So, here's the deal. Today, the NASDAQ and Dow Jones had their worst quarter since 2022. That's right. things are looking pretty grim. And yet, some fellow Trump supporters are still out here singing the praises of Trump's tariffs like they're the best thing since sliced bread. But if these tariffs are so amazing, why are the markets tanking?

At the end of the day, the stock market doesn't lie. If Trump's tariffs were really the economic miracle some people claim, we wouldn't be seeing this kind of downturn. So, to all the tariff lovers out there: maybe it's time to rethink your stance. Or at least stop pretending the stock market isn't screaming at us to do better

His moronic MAGA crowd got no clue about economics - not even to mention GLOBAL economics

And whatever he tells them - they will "unconditionally" cheer on it.
Just as Lefty/Libs, same brainless and radical bunch.

Pitchforks in a Paradise for Plutocratic Parasites

So the sweatshoppers who create stock value by deporting our jobs are losing money? I hope those economic traitors lose it all, especially because then their spoiled-putrid brats won't be able to dominate America in the next generations.

Cry me a river, because otherwise your idols will get a river of blood.

What is the date?

Get back to Me in a year.

Morons think it is perfectly okay to continue to drive jobs OUT of America in the name of the stock market and at the expense of the American worker.

The OP is the typical Gen alpha. If it doesn't happen in the next 10 minutes, I don't like it.

I guess it depends on what you think the end goal should be.

All Americans need to be reminded that Donald Trump has gone bankrupt more times than any businessman in history. He has lost more money than any American businessman in history. American banks have refused to lend him money since his 4th bankruptcy in 2002. Trump's fiscal policies from his last Administration are responsible for 25% of the current National Debt.

And yet this financial train wreck, is in charge of American economic policy. He crashed the economy the last time he was in office. And now he's repeating the same policy of tearing up your trade deals and renegotiating your trade deals, and pushing through unfunded tax cuts, that lead to the last economic crash.

What could possibly go wrong here?

Biden and Obama are responsible for 50% of the National Debt.
 
The tariffs are to bring back manufacturing to the US.

$3T is committed by corporations so far.

It will take years for that money to make products. Construction jobs will be first.

Stock markets look at the next Fed meeting, no worries, earnings look okay for the foreseeable future.

Just shut up and do what we tell Canaduuuhhhh to do.
 
Manufacturing is critical for our national security. We simply cannot rely on other countries that are sometimes hostile to supply us. Do we really want to be at the mercy of other countries for our computer chips, phones, etc.? Yes, the tariffs will hurt short term, but its something we have to do.

I am willing to listen to anyone here who thinks they have a better idea.
 
Many people do not understand how tariffs work.

By raising the price of foreign goods, domestic production gets more competitive. This will eventually bring manufacturing back to the US.

Reagan did not believe in tariffs. On the other hand Reagan would be considered to liberal for today's Cult of 47l

Way to many words to say nothing. Reagan would be aghast at Feon47 is sucking to a Russian Dictator. Reagan called Russia, "The Evil Empire". He would be way to liberal by today's Cult of 47.

Should read as follows:

Reagan did not believe in tariffs. On the other the hand Reagan would be considered to be liberal for today's Cult of 47.

Reagan never sucked up a Russian Dictator. He never offered a ride aboard AF1 to a North Korean Dictator. He never used Arlington Cemetary as a prop for a photo-op.

Reagan loved this country. 47 does not give two shits about this country. Fuck 47 and fuck his fucking Cult.

Yes- you are one of them

Nonsense - and only a person who as absolutely no idea as to how corporations and businesses work, will come up with such an idiotic claim.

First - tariffs are payed for by the consumer, simply because importers or parts importers will add these charges in parts or to the full extend onto their retail prices. If they don't, they have to lay off employees since they can't cover their existing overhead costs.

Second - tariffs will thus make products more expensive, and those not effected - will not lower their prices, nor will they keep their prices stable, but will ADD onto their prices - trying to make a buck extra, simply because prices in general have gone up. It's called Capitalism.

This is what's been happening since the last decades - and it happened just as well during Trumps first stint.
