  1. This man is a moron, my genuine question is why americans are so passive?   is your population really ignorant?  Or are just so indoctrinated beyond salvation?

  2. I see they went half way so they have room to escalate.

    I do not support this. Prepare your pockets ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)

  3. Remember, 90 million stayed home and 77 million willingly voted for this!

    Voting MATTERS!

  4. Is Vietnam 46% rate. That is astonishing. I think the only way they can avoid is to block all trans-trading from China to US. That is really really high.

  5. There’s no way he knows what he’s even looking at. No shot.

  6. I’m just curious… where do they come up with these %s? To be honest the 🤡went soft on this liberation day of tariffs. This was such an oversold policy.

  7. Dude what the fuck is he talking about and when will he stop this random word salad monologue?

  8. Buckle up America, this is what you voted for. These tariffs are going to 100% absolutely rock the US economy.

  9. It is OK. If we hadn’t abandoned tarrifs, the Great Depression would not have happened.  Get ready for the biggest tax break in US history.

    /s

  10. Looks like I’m buying that extended warranty on my BMW.

  11. OK, he is going to restructure the world, if you’re not secure, God bless. 

    This will require a depression, at first. After that who knows.

  12. Dumbass does Dumbass things. The king of bankruptcy doing what he does best, bankrupt

  13. 77 million stupid Americans caused worldwide stagflation because eggs were too expensive.

  14. Anyone notice that Russia isn’t on the list? Shocker!

  15. Trump: how can I exercise my executive power to generate a covid-like shock to the world economy? 🤔

  16. This is why we diversify w bonds. Tomorrow will be a bloodbath. S&P in post market already down 2.25%. 😬

  17. I feel bad for the US small business owners that manufacture overseas. This could put them out of business.

  18. Idiocracy, full-blown. No thought went into this, let’s just charge them half what our trade deficit is…idiots. I’ve been saying since early 2000’s, they are going to make us a third world country…and I’m not wrong.

  19. Remember when Trump put tariffs on China in his last presidency how tons of Chinese companies moved production not to the US but to Vietnam instead to circumvent his stupid tariffs?

    So I count 25 lines on this board – the EU is one line but counts 27 countries. So he‘s sanctioning… i mean he‘s putting tariffs on 52 countries…. The UN recognises 193 countries – so if you want to circumvent US tariffs you still have the possibility to produce in 193-52= 141 countries (US being one of them).

    This still is fucking stupid right? Or am I missing something?

  20. Something tells me this is a bit of a misrepresentation as the percentages often only apply to certain goods or at certain thresholds, and some are imposed only for specific reasons and could be eliminated if those conditions were met, like we often do by demanding our trade partners not engage in child labor or that they permit unionization.

    So, I’d love to see a true apples-to-apples comparison of what countries are really charging us and when, which goods or services are affected, and what we’re doing in response. But we never seem to get a sober analysis of that. We just get “America first” cheerleading from the Trump supporters and “We’re headed for a recession and stagflation” panic from the opposition.

    For full disclosure, I happen to be a never-Trump centrist, but one of the things that has always bothered me about the GOP is that they’ve been free trade purists to the detriment of American jobs and wages. If a republican can break that trend, I’m not opposed to it. Remember what Ross Perot said about NAFTA creating a “giant sucking sound” of lost jobs as manufacturing relocated south of the border? Remember the massive tech outsourcing to India and China that we saw, particularly in the 90’s and early 2000’s? Remember the wake-up call we got during COVID about being overly dependent on imports, particularly from China? So, although I’m certainly NOT a fan of Trump’s antagonizing, bull-in-a-china shop approach to everything he does, I’m also not inherently opposed to the idea that we need a little protectionism as well as more insourcing, near-sourcing, or friend-sourcing.

  21. Made up numbers for the EU. VAT is added as a tariff, we pay it too for locally made products and it goes from 19-25% depending on the country. Duties amount depend on the country

  22. Europe has 39% tariffs on us goods? Is this disinformation? What kind of Orwellian world are we living? He’s stating false information publicly?

  23. Apparently the first layoffs were the aides to hold that board so anyone could see it during his speech.

  24. I blame the morons who were too dumb to realize that Election Day meant their King Moron would be in office for 4 years.

    Now we get a depression.

  25. Largest tax increase ever on Americans. I guess if they we call it a tariff it is not a tax

  26. So I’m guessing the answer to the question “When should I pull all my money out of the banks and the market and bury it in tin cups around the back yard” is “last week”.  Good to know.

  27. hold up – are these numbers even real? For example, Switzerland at 61%. As per their foreign minister, they don’t have any tariffs on US industrial goods and 99% of the other goods. So, what gives?

  28. As somebody once said, regardless of whether or not Trump is or isnt a Russian asset… what would he be doing different if he was in fact a Russian asset?

  29. How to tank the global economy in 30 days or less.

    Nice work, Trump/Trump voters.

  30. Can Trump and the White House give us the fact check on where these numbers came from? 72 percent from South Korea?

  31. Why the fuck is he doing this he must know how catastrophic this will be. Serious question, what will be the short term effects and long term effects. Next couple of weeks vs months

  32. UK shipping companies are about to see a lot of new business

  33. I watched 45 mins. Am very confused….are these tariffs on top of existing tariffs? The Chinese addon from a month ago as well?

    He obfuscated so well there may be actually zero tariffs🤣

    sqrt(–1) tariffs

  34. Can someone please explain to me why all of these other countries already have such high tariffs / import duties for goods imported from the US?

    I understand these new reciprocal tariffs will probably wreck havoc on the economy, but why does Vietnam charge a 90% tariff? Why does South Korea do 50%? It does seem extremely high and I don’t understand the purpose.

  35. I’m about to delete the Amazon app from my phone.. time to start saving. We’re doomed
