Trump blinks

[g5000]

Oh ok, backed down and we will negotiate better deals forthr US. In China is screwed. Man are y'all stupid.

Backing down would have been to remove all the tariffs and not negotiating.

By not enacting his bizarro, stupid tariffs, that IS removing them.

Someone talked some sense into Trump.

Market now up 1400 points over this time last year.

Doomed I tell ya.

 

[playtime]

Bullshit assumptions based on your bullshit construct of Trump.

 

[Frankenstein]

Are you sure it’s tariffs keeping US goods out of their countries or is it mostly consumer choices?

It's price, people would rather pay 399 every two years for a tv, than 800 for one every 10

 

[SweetTea]

Yep.

All of this, ALL of it, could have been done behind closed doors. Intelligenty, respectfully, effectively.

We could have taken a hard line and gotten what we wanted. That's what NEGOTIATIONS usually ARE. We were in the dominant position. It's ALWAYS good to optimize trade deals. And it can be done like INTELLIGENT ADULTS.

But no, Trump has to make a ******* reality TV show out of it and turn the world against us.

So the excuses are starting. You told me just the other day that you would give Trump credit if things work out well. We aren't there yet, but when they do, you should admit that you were wrong. I won't hold my breath.

VAT applies to all products. It’s not a tariff.

It is the same as a tariff in practice.

It's difficult to see how Trump is going to bring manufacturing back as businesses are just going to wait him out, something Canada has been doing and as I predicted was their assessment.
Seems Canadian authorities are smarter than I give them credit for. There will never be major tariffs applied outside of China. That's my prediction. I don't know what method he is going to use to bring factories back but credibility is everything in negotiations. The flip flopping doesnt create urgency needed to bring jobs back

1. Trump already has $7T in commitments for new manufacturing facilities plus new pipeline investments from Japan and South Korea.
2. Canada doesn't want a trade war with the US.
3. The negotiations are just starting. This is a multi-year process, eh.

He brought them to the table. What don't you understand?

 

[g5000]

Thank you for showing your ignorance on the subject.
Look up VAT on American products in Europe.
EU tariff on U.S. cars is 10% plus VAT

Really, you should look stuff up before you post

Everyone in Europe pays the Value Added Tax. Literally everyone. A European buys a European car, they pay the VAT.

Really, you should look stuff up before you post.

1. So they were arbitrary, so were the unfair tariffs and practices that kept US goods out of other countries.
2. He is doing smart. The US is China's biggest market by far. Schumer was whining about China since 2005.
3. He's not backing down, 75 countries want to negotiate, that takes time. After 90-days he re-evaluates.

Yes it worked. He caused the market to crash and rich people bought a lot of stock on Friday and yesterday.

There are no unfair trade practices. Countries protect industries that are vital their countries.

Even Trump's best advisers are telling him to be targeted and strategic and careful with this trade war. Maybe he should have started with China first? Instead of pissing off the rest of the world first? Now if you read his latest tweet, he says he's doing this to stop China from ripping us off but also every other country in the world. So now those countries are going to rally behind Trump when he takes on China? I bet not.

 

[Frankenstein]

If America is so destroyed, such a disaster, so anally raped by the rest of the world, will someone please tell me all the countries which are better off so I can move to of them and get away from this idiot baboon and the people who worship him?

Idiot, it is incrementally taking us down that road, where everybody has exactly the same regardless of what you give.

 

[g5000]

No, he didn't. He bumped his head on the table and fall down go boom.

 

[yidnar]

I wouldn't trust Trump. What he says today he may change his mind tomorrow. I think Trump got caught bluffing and we're going to get hurt from it.

none of the countries that have reached out to make a deal with the US have backed out ! a trade deal consists of thousands of pages ... the 90 day pause will give said countries and the US time to make and sign those deals ! Trump is a genius !

 

[iamwhatiseem]

Damn we need a live ticker... markets now approaching 1500 points over this time last year

Dammit... in the time I hit post - it went over 1500

So things have "worked out well"?

It's all over now?

We know how this all turned out?

Silly.

Getting dumber post by the minute

Uruguay. Not kidding, I'm planning on retiring there.
