The way he's going about it is imbecilic.

Dont be so sure

Lets wait and see before passing judgement

The respective 6%, 5%, 4%, declines in the NAZ, S&P, and Dow were media fear mongering? Guess again.

It's both, do not dismiss the sentiment caused by disinformation and false narratives.
You do realize Soros and his hedge fund and these dweebs thrive off your misery and they sabotage things to make instability that helps them make money and gain more power. They don't just steal from your tax dollars, they steal from your 401k's and investments too.

Troll Bot bugger with the same old panic and Fear propaganda .

Of course the markets blipped .
That is irrelevant versus Trumpfy trying to find ways of avoiding American formal Bankruptcy and the end of the US $.

But Troll Bot Bugger is un-american and prefers that the US goes formally bankrupt .

This is on the ******* cowardly congressional Republicans.

They've enabled him from Day One to keep their cushy gubmit jobs.

The idea that the enormous market selloff is due to media misinformation is bullshit.

Agreed. But who put those cowards in office? The same morons who voted for trump thinking he would "fix inflation on day one." Even after economists warned his imbecilic fixation with tariffs would be inflationary.

Well, I think we've learned a lot about this country over the past ten years or so.

It took me a few years after 2016 to come to terms with that.

I'm thinking about the doctrinaire fools down in FL who voted in Repubs in the special elections. Hunkered down in their trailer parks with the TV permanently tuned to Faux, watching the talking heads explain away the illegal deportations to El Salvador, the Signal chat debacle, the regime's persistent violations of law as trump tries to amass power, and wondering what kind of bogeyman the Right will create for them to obsess about next?

Yeah, there's just no way to understand what those people are thinking. There is obviously a disconnect somewhere. And even if they're crushed by this tariff war, they probably will still think the same way. It'll be someone else's fault.

Trump said today that his policies "will never change".

So we might expect some changes before long.

The Right has used all sorts of ways to make The Following look over in the corner at the shiny object they're pointing to. At this point the new object is going to have to be so bright they'll need sunglasses to mindlessly stare at it. What's left in their duplicitous bag of tricks I do not know.

 

[berg80]

Speaking of being dogmatically doctrinaire..........

 

[my2¢]

I question whether the U.S. government has enough people to back the enforcement of tariffs. If people can easily get their hands on fentanyl which served as excuse for Trump to issue a state of emergency, it seems to me that interested parties setting up black market supply chains may be a piece of cake.

 

[HaShev]

The idea that the enormous market selloff is due to media misinformation is bullshit.

you do realize Buffet himself called the market a bloated bubble that had nothing left priced to buy, I seconded that notion if you go into archives, this is just exasperated by the PURPOSEFUL SABOTAGE NEGATIVE NEWS.
Without tariff hoopla, we would have had a more orderly correction than this, stretched out into the may go away summer vacation season. The spring back will be just as dramatic leaving people no entrance point to get in due to their fear. Oh well -learn not to trust irrational fear mongering.

No, I dont have a specific timeframe

Are you on some sort of doomsday clock?

And what happens for you when midnight strikes?

I notice that you and Mac1958 are really turning on the hate toward trump

If it helps you and him to release the pressure in a non violent way I’m all for it

 

[HaShev]

So besides Canada another country that I know of wants zero tariffs on both sides :

now I'm not getting Press emails like I used to in his former term, and I've been to busy to know if more countries have stated the same, however I did hear they have open dialogues with many countries to get these deals done quickly therefore when these deals drop the market dead cat bounce will roar like a lion. UPDATE TO MY NVDA PURCHASE Finally got the rest of my shares, was also ironically a penny over the today lows for my bid, but it was on my premarket bid for someone elses portfolio that never hit.
So when I used to call myself "missed by a penny" because the Market maker took it down a penny above my bids, the nickname still is relevant.

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.”
https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/30/tar...-and-raise-recession-risks-goldman-says-.html

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.

I think what is likely to happen, is that one by one, other countries will be looking to make better trade deals with the United States.

The party with the trade deficit has the upper hand in these negotiations.

We allowed other countries to take advantage of us so much, that the American Dream is gone for many people. Can't afford a house and a family on two incomes, when you used to be able to do it on one. It's because we have been funding other countries with our money, directly and indirectly. Time to change this. America first. MAGA.

CNBC's interpretation of Goldman Sachs alleged interpretation of Trump's tariff agenda? Come on lefties.
