MAGA: Losing Money Means Nothing

[Cellblock2429]

And reflects the fact that they are not going to be increasing US purchases.

So again, what is the point?

/----/ "And reflects the fact"
What fact? You're just pulling crap out of your azz hoping someone will believe you.

Why don't you do some simple research so you don't embarrass yourself?

In 2022, of $11.4 billion in U.S. exports to Vietnam, the top commodity sectors were agricultural products (21.6% of the total exports to the country), machinery & mechanical appliances (21.1% of such total), chemicals, plastics, rubber, and leather goods (19.2% of such total).

Vietnam is now our friend? holy fk. How many americans died there? Did we get anything for those deaths? tell us ole wise one, what the fk advantage do we get for them tariffing our imports? please, I'm all fking ears.

You people really have no idea what's going on beyond your porch. Incredible.

I'm not here to educate rubes.

 

[rightwinger]

Yep. And Vietnam is right behind China. And if India wakes up -- and it looks like it may be -- they'd take over. And they're not our friend.

That's what we get for separating ourselves from our former friends and partners.

Even when Trump is gone we can’t go to the rest of the world and claim we are normal again.

Even after Trump, MAGA craziness waits in the wings.
Why would the world trust us after we elected Trump two times?

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

China is positioning itself to fill the role of the U.S. in global trade.

In the past decade, the US economy has exceeded China because of our global partnerships
China competes alone.

Why would anyone trust the US after this?

I know the penguins won't.

How an island of penguins ended up on Trump tariff list​

BBC
https://www.bbc.com › news › articles
3 days ago — A tariff of 29% was imposed on Norfolk Island, which is also an Australian territory and has a population of about 2,200 people.

Two tiny, remote Antarctic outposts populated by penguins and seals are among the obscure places targeted by the Trump administration's new tariffs.

Heard and McDonald Islands - a territory which sits 4,000km (2,485 miles) south-west of Australia - are only accessible via a seven-day boat trip from Perth, and haven't been visited by humans in almost a decade.

I said 11 billion. You are correcting me because it's 11.4 billion? Really? What is the point in 46% tariffs?

/---/ Those are franchises using UK property, labor, and materials and paying UK taxes.
That's different than importing a product built in the US.

/---/ Tommy lauhed at my explanation on the difference between US franchises operating in the UK and importing ready made good from the US. mporting a product built in the US without explaing why. I guess I got him again.

They won't. They gave us a chance while Biden was in office, but they were wary. Now they're done.

It occurred to me this morning that Trump is separating us from the world, just like MAGA is separated from America with its own reality and media. The entire planet can go to hell if they don't like America, just like Americans can go to hell if they don't like MAGA.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

World nations are accustomed to (at least relatively) intelligent leaders who have a decent grasp and working knowledge of geopolitics and global macroeconomics. They therefore assume it in other world leaders.

I don't know if the world has figured this out yet, but Trump is not one of those leaders. If I lived overseas, I would be urging my leaders to create, nuture and grow new trade and economic relationships. Without us.

Publicly they are downplaying it but in private they must be facing the truth. I think there was a feeling that this is so dumb even trump wouldnt follow thru.
But its different this time round. There only seem to be sycophants around the throne. The adults have been purged.
How much damage can he do before the mid terms or the GOP turns against him ? Its 2025 and the world should be in better shape. But the loudest voices are crazies like trump and putin.
Im boycotting all the american places and my son now breakfasts in something called Tim Hortons which we think is canadian.

Stop typing lies and YOU take a month off.
Deportation and Remain in Mexico is US policy until their hearing date....10-years out.
You can thank Biden's open borders for leaving 12,000,000 illegals into the US pushing those hearing dates out 10-years.

I never disputed that.

You said "(illegal) non-citizens don't have "due-process rights" until after their hearing and they are given temporary status."

that is not true, and you admitted so.

Due Process starts inside the US Border, when the Asylum seekers are processed. Filling out forms, etc.

Correct, go back to Mexico (never disputed)


Other rulings, such as Plyler v. Doe (1982), affirmed that undocumented immigrants are also viewed as persons in the eyes of Constitutional law.

Documented, not documented, all persons physically in the USA are guaranteed Due Process

ArtI.S8.C18.8.7.2 guarantees Due Process



Take a month off.

I think Republicans went along saying…..how bad can it be?

It will be republicans that put a stop to the madness. Once they find a spine.

 

[Blaster]

We went from "Expensive eggs are a national crisis!" to "Losing money costs you nothing" really fast. I'm sure this will be a winning message for the Republicans in the 2026 midterm elections.

I haven't lost any money. Maybe your investments are bad.

The stock market is unpredictable and smart investors like me have other options.

You mean you don't put 100% trust in your "financial advisors"?

These FA's know only one thing: tell people to keep buying.

and you can't ever explain so there's that. what is it you believe we're missing?

 

[JLW]

Based on the posts I am reading on this board from MAGAs, most the MAGAs on this board don’t care about losing money because most of them apparently don’t have a pot to piss in.

can't lose what isn't liquid. So technically, the portfolios go down, but will rebound. If you actually knew anything about the Market.

Congress is supposed to levy tariffs

When will Republicans say……ENOUGH

What do you know about Recessions and their impact on the market?
