Will trump relent?

[debbiedowner]

I think Canadian officials like that Lutnik is the head of this, he seems easy to persuade.

Trumps flip flopping on tariffs has probably hurt his negotiations with Russia and others. If a leader doesn't seem committed, his word not reliable, or, those inside his administration seem easy to manipulate his effectiveness will be fleeting. Notice how many times the media repeats the same questions to him "are these tariffs are for, definitely going forward April 2nd"?

They want to weaken his resolve and have his supporters lose faith in him. "He says one thing but does another" etc

Japan and Korea didn't believe he would bend so they started to invest in the U.S auto industry. I was never convinced he could stick to his guns but I've been wrong before. He sometimes seems so committed that I think "yeah he is going to stay the course".

It takes courageous leadership to try and bring back so many lost industries. It would almost certainly force the Democrats back to the middle if he did succeed also. If America doesn't succeed it is only a matter of time before China replaces America. Many are betting that China will win because politicians are bought and sold so easily. With all the excess spending and weak Western leadership, I wouldn't ever count China out.

How many jobs in his first term did he bring back from his tariffs?

He will bring a few back this time but not enough to make a difference.

As a market analyst I follow said on Friday, he could cause a massive stock rally with a single social media post. The demands of his insatiable ego causes him to lust after that kind of control.

Imagine, a financial moron propped up by his dad's wealth, someone who drove a casino, of all things, in to the ground, has his finger of the button of the global economy. All the while holding to the economically equivalent belief that smoking is good for you.

Why keep pumping blood into the corpse. Its time to end this and become a country that produces. You'll never comprehend this. You're too blinded by liberal partisan rage and ignorance.

Goldman Sachs sees Trump tariffs spiking inflation, stunting growth and raising recession risks

With decision day looming this week for President Donald Trump’s latest round of tariffs, Goldman Sachs expects aggressive duties from the White House to raise inflation and unemployment and drag economic growth to a near-standstill.

The investment bank now expects that tariff rates will jump 15 percentage points, its previous “risk-case” scenario that now appears more likely when Trump announces reciprocal tariffs on Wednesday. However, Goldman did note that product and country exclusions eventually will pull that increase down to 9 percentage points.

When the new trade moves are enacted, the Goldman economic team led by head of global investment research Jan Hatzius sees a broad, negative impact on the economy.

In a note published on Sunday, the firm said “we continue to believe the risk from April 2 tariffs is greater than many market participants have previously assumed.”

Which will prevail? trump's flat earth views on the efficacy of tariffs or their real world affects? The country, indeed the world, is an economic hostage to an imbecile's love affair with the kind of destructive trade policy that once lead to a depression. Our trading partners are reeling, so too is the stock market, in the face of trump's stubborn belief his ability to alter reality in the minds of his following translates to an ability to alter financial reality. He's wrong, yet no one in his inner circle has the courage to tell him.

Trump will “relent” in that he will often take an absolute position and then make a minor concession later in exchange for a larger concession. That’s what a good negotiator does.

He will never “relent” in living in your head. Not until he dies. At that time, he will no longer live in your head, but he will be laid to rest in an above ground mausoleum in your head, there to remain forever, taking years off of your life due to your stressing out about his existence.

So many lies, where to begin. I fear it's hopeless.

He only hit aluminum and steel his firm term. He also didn't commit to deficit spending thanks to the Paul Ryans of the world

The West is going to rue the day they profited off of Americas debt when they become insolvent. From Israel to Europe and Taiwan, Americas allies will be in trouble due to governments not willing to make the diffcult decisions. Most making it far worse.

I'm good at reading between the lines and Canadian state media, Canada isn't worried about Trumps tariffs which means they don't think he will go through with them. Hence, I think the same I guess since I am none the wiser.

 

[berg80]

He's been fixated on tariffs since the 80's and he's essentially ignorant on macroeconomics outside of that.

I suspect he found an "advisor" who's backing him on the tariff thing, and I think it's Lutnick.

Could be him, could be Navarro. Or both might be appeasing his idiocy to stay in his good graces.

What you are describing is trump holding a gun to the head of the US economy and threatening to pull the trigger unless our trading partners find a way to stroke his ego.

 

[Billiejeens]

Why do Dems want to let other countries continue to steal our jobs, industries, screws us over on trade? With friends like Democrats who needs enemies.

They do not like The USA -

Before it was just dislike for US exceptionalism.

Obama instruction to hate the US for the way that it was constituted.

Nope! This has been in the pipe for years and he's put a lot of thought into it.

Get real Duke! This man never puts any thought into anything.
You sure do a really great job of making excuses for him though. You're almost like a tape recording stuck on a continuous loop. The moment anyone here posts anything.....anything critical of Trump or even hinting that something the man has done or said may be less than perfect......CLICK!
There's Dukie with another auto response defending his favorite felon.
Duke, why is your identity so wrapped up in Trump that you seem to treat any criticism of him as a personal attack on yourself?

Just no telling. Trump is a lying conman and filthy pos. But...he is probably better than a filthy commie dem pig. (I think.) Time will tell how it all turns out.

 

[berg80]

I disagree. He put a tremendous amount of thought in to how to escape accountability for his crimes. Ultimately enabled in that endeavor by gullible rubes who eagerly voted for a boorish, convicted felon and traitor for prez. The result.........easily the most lawless admin in US history.

A recession was baked into this year from a long time ago .
Everybody saw it then and suspects we are now very close to it .

It is based on long term hangover factors plus insustainable debt allied to a pathetic Biden term of dithering and failing in all forward looking areas .

It's great. You can only vote every 4 years and when you do it basically means nothing.

Understand?

One big problem. The cost of production here exceeds the cost in other countries with lower labor costs. The kinds of market distortions caused by ignoring that fact are ruinous for the global economy which is designed for efficiency.

Manufacturing is a matter of national security. Do you really want to rely on the rest of the world to produce things like computer chips?
