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

[Luckyone]

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.

Look, I have been an official stock analyst for 48 years and was trained by the best in the industry (Merrill Lynch and Pru-Bache). I FULLY understand how the market works and the ups and downs involved. There has NEVER been anything in the last 48 years that has been like what has happened now. President Carter was the closest thing that has caused the market to do the gyrations it has done when something was said by him, and even then the gyrations seen under Carter were miniscule compared to Trump.

Yesterday evening, a Federal court judge declared the following:

US court blocks most Trump tariffs, says president exceeded his authority​

and right after that announcement, the DOW was trading 560 points higher (last night). It opened 90 points higher and then it got down to as much as 170 points lower. It is now 23 points higher. That is a 750 point move over a period of about 10 hours and yet nothing has actually changed as Trump can appeal that ruling and probably will win. This is the definition of UNCERTAINTY and it is not due to normal market action.

Stop the bullshit excuses. They don't work except with Trump supporters.

Are you not a patronizing little snot.

"Little Taco" is certainly one, so you get it honestly.

Trade uncertainty soars, and the stock market roars!

And your point is?

Our guy got 7 trillion invested in expansion of the United States in 4 months. Now, you tell us how much YOUR Vegetable and Chief got invested in 4 years!

Trump claims that Qatar is investing 1.2 trillion into the US. Their GDP is only like 235 billion a year. Qatar would basically be indentured to the US for who knows how many years in order to actually fullfill that investment. It will never happen. Whatever you're hearing is a lie. Why is the cult so stupid?

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Trump lies all the time.

MAGA believes his lie all the time.

Trump isn't flip flopping, he's having to play the mindgames with the ******* courts on this, as well as the other politicians.

He knows what he's doing though. And in order for us to become a 75% TAX FREE nation.........he's going to have to continue to play these stupid mindgames with the Pedocrats, Rinos, and leftists courts.

 

[krichton]

You got 4 trillion is 4 months? Hahahaha

DOGE initially aimed to cut $2 trillion, later reduced to $1 trillion, but ultimately fell short, with claimed savings now estimated at $150 billion, though verifiable, itemized cuts are only at $63 billion. While DOGE has eliminated government contracts and reduced the federal workforce, these cuts have been met with criticism for errors, inflated claims, and the impact on essential services and critical programs.

An analysis found that DOGE’s cuts have cost taxpayers approximately $135 billion due to lost productivity, rehiring mistakenly fired workers, and legal expenses

Trade uncertainty means people don't invest, and I don't just mean Americans don't invest but everyone does not invest in the U.S.

Explain the long list of corporations investing in manufacturing and business here due to Trump's tariff negotiations.

The international court of commerce, the one that put a halt to his illegal tariffs is made up of mostly conservative judges. One is even a trump appointee.

A tax free nation? I guess believing this gives you an excuse to not have to think very much.

One thing that never ceases to amaze me is how some short-minded people (like you) always see the benefits of something, but never consider the consequences.

The consequences of "playing mind games" is that you are not believable, and as such, no one supports or follows you.

The consequences of having a 75% tax free nation is that the rich get richer, the poor pay the price (which they can't afford and their lives get worse), the government is not able to govern and build (for example, the infrastructure that all nations need), not able to control greed and misuse of power, not able to pay the nation's debt (debt skyrockets and everyone suffers), education suffers as only the rich can get an education, health care suffers, etc., etc., etc.

Everything in life has benefits and consequences and if you do not consider both, you are going to lose 100% of the time.

Taxes can be legal and moral.

Promises of benefits is all they need, they don't need to see actual benefits of something to be gullible enough to trust in it. This fool actually believes in a 75% tax free society. An entire civilization of suckers is how Trump came to power twice now. This makes us look weak as hell to the rest of the world.

How does that apply to me?

I have 48 years being a stock analyst, worked for the best 2 firms in the industry in the 80's and have offered a public service for 18 years.

How does your pussycat image have anything to do with that?

Can you compare a butcher with a surgeon? Both do meat cutting!

Sure, you have. You are at the level of opening a can of tuna and making a sandwich.

Trump isn't flip flopping

President Donald Trump said in a social media post on Thursday that he is willing to exempt the agriculture and hotel industries from his nationwide immigration crackdown. The surprise move came after executives in both industries complained to Trump about losing reliable, longtime immigrant workers in immigration raids and struggling to replace them.

“Our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace,” Trump wrote.
