gehringer_2 Posted April 2 Posted April 2 (edited) 10% baseline is quite the walk back from where all this started. 34% on China is going to cost consumers a lot of money though. I'll wager that gets negotiated down. Edited April 2 by gehringer_2 Quote

Deleterious Posted April 2 Posted April 2 I can't stop laughing at the visual of the President of the United States out there fumbling around with that chart. Quote

Tigermojo Posted April 2 Posted April 2 How long until countries decide to cut the US out and deal with someone else instead? Why would anyone make a deal with Trump when he's not honoring deals he made previously? Quote

Hongbit Posted April 2 Posted April 2 The tariff rates don’t matter. They aren’t real. It’s all another grift. The markets will crash tomorrow and maybe Tuesday giving the billionaire class that sold weeks ago time to buy in again at a lower price. Trump will once again pause the tariffs in a few days under the guise of other countries giving in to his greatness. The markets will quickly rebound giving the elites a massive windfall. Lather, Rinse, Repeat. 3 2 1 Quote

Lather, Rinse, Repeat. Open to the possibility that there will be some pump-and-dump happening, but the damage to relationships with our trading partners are going to remain damaged even if there are walkbacks. And the uncertainty in the markets is going to be an impediment to the markets overall. Quote
