You know that if we'd accepted TTIP this would probably allow companies to sew the US.. That might still be the case now btw, I can imagine this going against made international trade agreements.


as if trump ever cared about being sued. seriously though, the "master negotiatior" is showing again how terrible of a "negotiator" he really is by unilaterally imposing tariffs like that. it will severely hurt many economies, and when the dust settles the one that will be damaged the most by this will undoubtedly be america.
and yes, i already mentioned in the other thread that this is most likely happening against current agreements but again, the emperor doesn't care - for him, it's a short term political "win" as many of the simple folk that make up his base will most likely see it as "fighting back" against "unfair deals" (the other thread has also shown how misinformed the cultists are, completely believing these baseless propaganda talking points, it's frightening really)...

Trump, easing the transition from democracy and individualism, toward authoritarian capitalism.

Definitely an "I told you so" moment. Trump supporters are still struggling with the content though.

It should probably be illegal for any country to attach tariffs. But if some countries ARE gonna do it, then it would be silly... not to do it also.
I think that's what this is all about.

It's like Trump has said all along. In a lot of treaties and deals etc., that we are involved in, we HAVE been getting the short end of the stick.


Always these emotional appeals to fairness. Conservatives are terrible with the economy. Watch you guys tank Obama's recovery.

People need to stop using DOW Points

Only thing that Matters is DOW % and its less than 2%


That's fine and all, but keep in mind that this was the market reaction to the mere announcement of the new tariffs. Once they're implemented we're going to feel the real impact, in our aircraft industry, in our auto-industry, and in our agriculture industry(just to name a few). On top of this we may be in violation of some of our existing agreements, which will hurt foreign investors' confidence in investing in our markets.

The stock market is doing a simple ABC correction. It made its first low in early feb. it bounced and it now is dropping again to retest that low. This is normal behavior. The tariffs likely have nothing to do with it. It was going to try to retest that low no matter what.

Both parties are on that train. Trump’s camp believes in the “nation” while the leftists believe in the “collective” or a set of collectives.

There is one true minority: the individual.

Good. Fuck the corporations, support American unions. Mill American, Buy American.


Ink is right. Globalist shit on tariffs because it cuts into their bottom line that exploits third world labor. The markets will learn to love it.
