The stock market just crashed by 2 trillion! This is the Republican Recession folks!
Everybody always tries to come up with a logical explanation instead of accepting the hard truth: Trump really believes the nonsense he is spewing and is too dumb to understand his folly.
"He can't be that stupid, can he?"
And I think he doesn't care. Too dumb and too busy self-aggrandizing.
We're paying attention! That might be all that matters to him
Literally trying to crash the economy so that his rich buddies can buy everything for what they like to call ‘penis on the dollar’ iirc I don’t know what that is though, I’m just a peasant farmer 🧑🌾
... a fool of himself, the one trick he has perfected during his lifetime
How the fuck do you make the dow jones go down by over a thousand in just one day?
nevermind this (i have been informed that it is fake. Apologies for spreading misinformation):
As always, the only way to win a trade war is to not be in one.
Q: Which country does NOT appear on the tariff list?
Lol 😂 Serbia!! Kind of funny since there's tons of fascist loving dick bags there. They must be making the pikachu face right about now
Is it the ruzzian nazi assholes?
Krasnov knows where his loyalties lie.
What is the first column with percentages?
Deep Maths!
The method used to calculate the most important numbers in international trade, politics and economics has left some of the world’s leading experts shocked.
For each country, the White House looked up its trade in goods deficit for 2024, then divided that by the total value of imports. Trump, to be “kind”, said he would, however, offer a discount, so halved that figure. The calculation was even distilled into a formula.
For example, take the figures for China:
Goods trade deficit: $291.9bn
Total goods imports: $438.9bn
Those figures divided = 0.67, or 67%
And halved = 34%
Intentionally driving us off a cliff…
Everything he can to funnel all the money to the ultra rich
I don't think this makes sense. The ultra rich own multinational corporations whose operations will be inhibited by tariffs and trade wars. They're in favor of free trade because it lets them extract the maximum amount of wealth from the largest number of people. I think he genuinely doesn't understand how international trade works and thinks the US loses money, and therefore power, when people/corporations buy international products.
