U.S. Markets Tumble as Trump’s Tariff Moves Shake Global Trade

1. They act like he’s a genius when he’s actually unbelievably stupid.

2. New toupee?

3. It is short sighted and counter productive to call our Felon Pres incompetent. All these moves he has been making is on purpose and under heavy advisement by the billionaire class—likely even at the global level (think Putin, Xi, etc.). When you take a step back, one wonders if we will switch positions with China and level with Russia as our middle and lower classes sink into poverty as AI replaces $100k a yr workers (look up Y Combinator’s announcement about this) and big corporations aggregate demand/shrinking consumer purchase activity to their coffers all while hedging the supply affected by tariffs AND burying a few extra margin points in their price hikes (much like what happened during COVID). All the billionaires in the cabinet, the unelected weasel, Elon, and his techbros have substantial interest in the development and growth of China and third world countries. The US is tapped out of paths to increased profits as a derivative of mass increases in consumerism. In other words, the US will be cannibalising itself and shifting to the rise of other nations (probably misconstrued as “noble” by the inner circle). 

4. These tariffs are nothing more than a way to raise taxes on average Americans so taxes can be greatly reduced for the rich. The Orange man and his rich buddies are laughing all the way to the bank.

5. “Tumble” he says. Not what I see. People need to stop saying a 500 point drop is a rout…the market is at 44K not 7k.
