Trade Uncertainty Soars due to Trump's Flip-Flopping on tariffs

[Marener]

There are about 200 countries in the world. Nothing in this world is 100%, other than you being a lefty.

Well, the 10% minimum tariff seems to apply to all of them last I checked.

How many of those 200 countries had higher tariffs than 10% on US goods?

Uncertainty Soars​

Or does it really ?
The Mucky Bum's of this chat site are stll moaning and groaning about the terrible election and post election thrashing they have suffered.

These same pea brains then want you to believe that Trumpfy's tactics produce uncertainty .

The poor little Darlings .
They produce it themselves .

They want the master magician to tell you beforehand how he weaves his magic .
They have no inkling What he is doing or Why.
What a bungling bunch of amateurs .

Surley not one of them has done a day's work as an enterprising business person .

Just Wafflers and Re-gurgitators following Mucky , Bugger86 and Spews .
The Bleaters .

And most of them have tariffs on us or use unfair labor practices to rob us.

How many countries had tariffs greater than the 10% we are placing on them?

PBS? Isn't that like me posting a Fox link? I mean, just because he wants to defund them is no reason for them to spin, lol.

As far as you being lucky/unlucky----------->I am happy that you are happy. I know many Democrats that I consider friends, and most of them are happy too! Political outcomes usually hthat 3`ave little impact on your happiness, unless of course you are on the dole; which it appears you are not. Good for you!

As far as your link......and answering to it------------->you can NEVER get 100% of the people happy, 100% of the time. That is not possible, even 100% of the people who usually agree with you. But, if you read the consumer sentiment report, AND right/wrong direction pol, you know MOST Americans are happy, and coming around. Not me saying that, it is the polls.

I don't like it when one of you people posts a poll; no matter how non-descript the pollster is, that shows Trump making MOST Americans unhappy. It not only feels bad, it looks bad. But I have no idea why people like you, when a poll appears that shows most Americans HAPPY for whatever reason polled, get upset! Shouldn't you be happy for America? I mean, I can understand if you get upset at a poll that shows people no like Biden, or Kamala, or the Democrats. Fine! But get upset at a poll that shows happiness, or confidence?!?!?!?!?! Sigh, I just do not get it!

There is only one factual answer can be made to your entire post and that is that facts do not matter to a lot of people, Emotion is what drives them0 and that means that convincing/conning them is wh8at works, In addition, 100% can never be reached, meaning that who cons the best takes the prize. The Democrats are winning that battle now because Trump is messing up.

Well, UnluckyDucky..........let us all see with baited breath what YOUR own media says. I would post something from Fox, but you would use the standard, "it is Fox!"

Now Unlucky, you don't give a da** what I say, and I do not give a da** what you say or post. We both know, I am correct, but you will NEVER admit it, lol. But we are both/all posting for people who CAN be convinced as they are not cemented in the Red, or Blue camp, they just want what is best for their family's; and who can really blame them.

To that end, how many are believing who/whom? Are they believing YOUR SIDES propaganda, or our sides hope of change for the future, getting the USA out of the SWAMPS repeated attempts to help themselves? WELL, let us see-) https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/27/con...han-expected-on-optimism-for-trade-deals.html

And so it seems, Americans no lika your propaganda, don't believe it, and like the rest of us, wish you would ALL GO AWAY!

They are also now well aware, and highly pi**ed off no less, that YOUR SIDE put us in a constitutional crisis with a President that was VEGETABLE, and will NOT forget it any time soon! EVERY book on the subject coming out.....even written by YOUR SIDE, names the 5 name cabal that was NEVER elected to anything, that was running the country.

So go ahead, you and your friends, sit their smugly and believe the midterms will fix everything that ails your side politically. As of this time, it is more likely that your side will be Dr Kevorkianed and put out of its misery, than it is will be resuscitated, lololol.

Yes all, we are honestly entering a GOLDEN age, and even people like UNLUCKY and SLOWHORSES will be in on it.

How is that you ask?

Well, they will continue to pi** into the wind with their propaganda that nobody believes, and when it blows back on them, they will all be GOLDEN for sure, hahahahahahahahahahaha!

Trump Defends Tariff Flip-Flops As ‘Negotiations’—Here Are The 21 Times He’s Changed His Mind​

President Donald Trump responded Wednesday to criticism he “chickened out” by backing down from his punishing tariffs on foreign goods—calling it a “nasty” accusation”—after the president and his administration frequently flip-flopped its sweeping trade policy in the weeks since “Liberation Day.”

Trump said that was part of his plan all along, but then he is proving himself a liar,

 

[berg80]

I see a headline at CNBC saying a court has struck down trump's reciprocal tariffs but there are no details.

 

[Correll]

He is imitating Hitler's attack on government, yes, you goof.

You are making no sense. THe only meaning in your...insane rant... is that you hate us and are committed to destroying us.

I have acknoweleged that. I am willing to discuss that if you wish, but you do not have to keep repeating it. I get it.

I accept your framing of our conflict. ONe of us will be destroyed.

You will not succeed in the long run.

Maybe. Two big factors are, the mid terms, when you people could stop trump, if you get some political power back. And the results of Trump's policies.

So far, your side seems to be just doubling down on strategies that failed last time out. That is encouraging for the mid terms.

MAGA wins on both of those, we could be at the beginning of a generations long period of republican dominance. Till long after BOTH of us are dead.

MAGA!

I advise you to stay within the law.

Tell it to your anfifa brown shirts. Tell it to your fbi deep cover operatives.

You want some rules in this conflict? You play by them.

If Trump keeps failing, the GOP will take it in the shorts next year.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.


Normally the party in power loses ground in the midterms.


But, you dems are in nearly complete disarray and the little... coordination I see, is completely... not doing much constructive.


Do you understand why a liberal Joe Rogan would be irrelevant?

Nope, you are messing up so bad.

 

[Correll]

Nope, you are messing up so bad.

You are running the same play book that failed before.

YOur previous model depended on being able to control the flow of information, so that you could lie to the people.

BUt, that failed, because alternative media has grown to the point that you don't control it.

AND, that trend is only GROWING, so your attempts to run the same plays that worked in say, 2020 are doomed to failure.


For one example, do you understand why a liberal joe rogan will be irrelevant?

Tariffs are NEGOTIABLE, always maliable to CHANGE by their very NATURE.
You demented zombies have completely lost your minds.
Holy FUCK.

Trade uncertainty soars 846% to all-time highs due to Trump flip-flopping on tariffs

Nice graph, unsure how you measure uncertainty, and what do the x numbers mean? Plot that mysterious number against the US national debt and unfunded mandates vs year and see what you get.

Uncertainty means uncertainty as to what Trump is doing with everything

As determined by who and how? How can you assign a value to a perception? Just asking.

This is not perception, given how the market has reacted to Trump's actions. When you have a market that goes up and down in a big way (money involved) with every word that Trump says, it proves that there is a great deal of uncertainty. When money is involved, it is indicative. Money talks!

thank you for demonstrating the uncertainty.

Ok I assume you know what an "index" is related to stock. A gauge or estimate of stock or bond performance, assigned some arbitrary number. You know there are other things happening in the world besides whatever Trump is doing to trigger you, don't you? There are wars and threats of wars, Brexit upheavals, a possible EU breakup, not to mention inflation and debt causing havoc in the world. If someone would have replaced the labels "Trump did this" on your chart with "Biden started shit" or "Deep state threatens Iran" would it change things? That's just a lot of opinion you got going there.
