The market appears not to believe him.

Actually a lot helped yeah even it wasn’t nearly enough. But really that’s besides the point. All you care about is making the same damn point you always do: “your party sucks too!” Yes they do Harry. They just suck far less than republicans. I’m not going to pretend otherwise.

I don’t even know why I bother telling you all this. Anything I say you’re just going to mindlessly interpret as “democrats are amazing! Biden is the best president in American history!”

No one ever talks like that. You just pretend they do because it’s such a simple point any child could tear apart.

thats because you very seldom say your party sucks....both parties billy only care about one thing...their fucking power,and both would probably do anything to get and keep it...why you die hard party people cant see that is beyond me....

Trump says 10% is floor for tariffs; ‘Some will be much higher’​

President Donald Trump on Thursday said that 10% will be the floor for his tariffs on imports from other countries that seek to reach trade agreements with the United States.

“Some will be much higher because they have massive trade surpluses and in many cases they didn’t treat us right,” Trump told reporters at the White House.

Trump’s comment came as he discussed a new trade agreement with the United Kingdom.

During that Oval Office event, Trump’s Truth Social account said that U.S. tariffs on imports from the UK will remain at the baseline 10% rate that he imposed on most countries in the world in early April.

Put another way, nothing he says can be believed. Nothing. He's gone back on his word too many times for anyone to take what he says day to day as the final word. That's a problem, as one can imagine. But then most people realize criminals can't be trusted.

After all, he blew up a N. American trade deal he made himself.

If I were a political cartoonist I'd draw a picture of Bessent standing beside Don when he makes these reckless comments with a bubble over Bessent's head reading, "just shut the fuck up for goodness sake."

Another rally on Wall Street!

See this is what I’m talking about. Harry you’re completely dense. Clearly what I said doesn’t tell you I’m a “die hard party” person. You just choose to ignore any sort of basic nuance of what I say so you can make the same point you always do. We get it Harry. You think both parties suck. I know you think this is some profound point but most people already believe it to some extent

So why did the stock market tank so badly in the first place? Do you even have an explanation for that?

Another berg TDS thread.

Trump is renegotiating trade deals, which you don't understand. STFU.

Why make us consumers continue to pay a minimum tariff of 10% on UK products we import that trump put on them a month or two ago, if the two countries negotiated a new trade deal?

And again, this whole tariff talk began with President Trump saying it was necessary to bring manufacturing back to the USA....how does a trade deal with the UK or any country, bring manufacturing home, and bring good jobs home and all that shine-ola to sell us on this temporary suffering we will endure etc etc etc?????

I truly don't get it???

No im talking about what you’re completely in denial about. After all you’re too much of a pussy to actually answer it

A 10% tariff isn't much as products go, but it does raise significant revenue.

Using cars as an example, the US buys 16,000,000 cars a year. Tariffs on foreign cars makes US cars more affordable. The UAW loves Trump's tariffs.

Assuming that the $10T in new manufacturing plants happens, Trump's tariffs will be fully justified. It will take years to see how all of this shakes out.

They said at the presser today that they have been trying to negotiate a new trade deal since Brexit.
Today's deal looks like a win-win.

How do you know if you refuse to post the Old Trade Deal versus the New Trade Deal?

"Looks like" doesn't cut it.
Show some proof.
