US dollar has worst first half in more than 50 years amid Trump tariffs


Will this Trump win be celebrated by Ms Leavitt ?
I doubt it.
Maybe its time to bomb Iran again ?
When Bush was POTUS and he drove the value of the dollar really low they spun it as a positive. They said foreigners would come here and spend money because the dollar is low. Unfortunately tourism is down in America. Foreigners aren't coming here because of Trump.

Let's ask AI

Yes, foreign travel to the U.S. is currently experiencing a decline. This downturn is attributed to several factors, including policy changes, economic conditions, and shifting global perceptions of the U.S.

I'm starting to question your motives here.

You think tariffs are the reason the dollar is weaker? It has everything to do with Americas debt I assure you. The debt Europe and others loved to skim off of.

And Trump's Big Beautiful Bill is going to add to the debt.

Tommy can I tell them why this happens? What? Yes? OK!

Tommy wears the full burka even indoors in solidarity with the "Asian" gangs who prey on underage white women as their Holy Book gives them permission. He cannot see so good out of the eye slits and misreads sometimes and that's why he sometimes ***** up

Did you read the article?

Investors have been selling the US currency due to concerns that Trump’s economic policies threaten the safe-haven role of US dollar-denominated assets, with economists predicting that the president’s “big beautiful” budget bill will drive the US national debt even higher.

Analysts at Unicredit said: “The US dollar is the most notable loser so far this year as it has lost 10% against other currencies, with investor concerns regarding Trump’s policies having weighed on the greenback. On the other hand, the euro has risen by 5%.”

David Morrison, a senior market analyst at the financial services company Trade Nation, said: “Trump’s tariffs, the fact that many investors view his administration as somewhat chaotic, along with concerns over US national debt have seen the dollar fall out of favour.”

So, what's going on in the UK? Mr. Tainted is busy with US affairs instead of focusing on his own homeland.

He's probably hiding in his cellar hoping that the Islamic militant groups that now rule Britain don't find him on his computer posting to America.

The US is not an attractive proposition for a holiday at the moment. Its a shame because it has so much to offer.
Maybe in a couple of years when the nazi purges have blown over?

No one has ever sold a currency because of tariffs so whoever is selling this is a snake oil salesman.

Furthermore, a policy of dollar devaluation isn't out of line when you have record debt. The reason these clowns don't want to tell you that it's related to debt is because financial companies LOVE American debt as it trickles down to them in free money.

Tariffs bother them and their holding in Chinese companies. They also bother the EU, Japan and others, "oh no, we have to get a dose of our own medicine, to hell with that!"

They are trying these same tricks repeatedly. "The IRA won't cause inflation" (of course it did on a record scale). "Tariffs will guarantee inflation!" (of course it didn't as I suggested, it would be relegated to a handful of niche industries). So when all else fails, "hey the dollar went down, but dont worry, it's not because of debt or the credit rating downgrade due to debt, it's because of those pesky tariffs!".


Fools. You think companies are just going to find another market to sell their products in? I've never heard of the Euro, Yuan, Yen or any currency being referred to as out of favour due to tariffs. These nations have been tariffing you to heaven, sometimes in the 100% of percent and never have financial companies mentioned it,

It's debt. Musk has a point and America is in peril if it isn't brought in line.

Sorry but Trump's actions have weakened the dollar. That may not be the only reason but I've shown you it's one of the reasons.

P.S. Yesterday my boss told me "...todays exchange rate increase"

I don't know what exchange rate he's talking about but he said basically the $6750 thing I sell is going to be more like $7500 next week. Add 9% he said. So now I have to raise the price 9%.

Cool, now you'll make more cold calls instead of hanging out on USMB.
