Trump says US will unilaterally set new tariff rates for scores of countries

[Tommy Tainant]

I'm seeing various tidbits from people in the financial industry that there have been some very interesting large block purchases of stocks and call options right before some important announcements were made. Including people in the administration.

Normally I would say "we'll see" and wait for the SEC to investigate, but right now I don't know if they'd be allowed to.

This is uncharted territory. It's still a little difficult to believe that this has happened here, but we asked for it. Maybe this is what a lot of Americans really are.

Hes making himself look an absolute twat every day. He must be making money from it.

It's the only thing he knows. Ask him to behave like an intelligent, dignified statesman, and he wouldn't know what you were talking about.

It is what it is. America, 2025.

I suspect its simply about "other countries" not wanting our trade enough to put up with Trump's continual temper tantrums having nothing to actually do with them.

He's made a ton off of his crypto pump-and-dump scams alone. To me, this is the worst of all the shit he's pulled. Uh, so far.

Check this out: I'm guessing some friends of his REALLY cleaned up here, while his rubes got cleaned out (again):

58 crypto wallets have made millions on Trump’s meme coin. 764,000 have lost money, data shows

They already passed laws allowing the President to do just what Trump is doing.

And so far the market today has responded to this news with "meh"

I believe there are already legal cases having been filed.

The president doesn’t have the power to set tariffs—Congress does

Last week, President Donald Trump announced that his administration would be slapping tariffs on an enormous share of the things Americans buy. Tariffs

Good luck. Congress gave the President leeway on tariffs via multiple laws.

Link your proof. Thanks.

I must have missed all those peace deals. Maybe he should tell those countries that there is a deal.

Well, considering you missed the “Asian” rape gangs molesting underage white girls in the UK, that’s not saying much about your powers of observation

From uninformed sources, right?

This is like an unsupervised child left alone in a toy store, who is having a never ending tantrum.

What the child needs is to be slapped across the face, but what the child gets is never ending praise and adoration.

Yet another taste of leftist child abuse.

It was hardly my fault Frank.
