Economy Trump's April 2nd Tariffs

Can we finally admit what's been true all these years? Trumpists are low intelligence, vile, spite ridden, inferior human beings.

Deplorable people!

Take a break from politics, my friend

You should never describe people this way just because they're opposite your politics.

You should never describe people this way just becuase they're opposite your politics.

I agree.

I see people describing other people like this in various other threads, and it's wrong and disgusting.

The easy target is usually immigrants or Muslims and some of the lines trotted out are hideous.

Tell the people who planned to retire this year and whose 401k just went to the toilet to take a break from politics. The people who voted for this man are stupid and/or evil and I won't pretend otherwise.

Hillary was wrong to call them deplorable. So much more pathetic.

How is this a reasonable response to that post? And a mod liked it too. What a toilet this forum is lately.

I suspect your approval ranks pretty low on their list of priorities. Get a grip.

It's literally the most reasonable response to that post

As a market watcher and investor, how could you not have seen this coming? Scott Bessent was openly discussing tariffs back in November, framing them as tools for ensuring free and fair trade while touting his "3-3-3" economic model. Throughout Trump’s campaign, he consistently highlighted tariffs as the cornerstone of his economic agenda—how often did he repeat his promise to reshape U.S. trade policy? It was a central theme. Stephen Miran, Trump’s economic advisor during the campaign, even published "A User’s Guide to Restructuring the Global Trading System" in 2024, laying out the vision. Then, on February 13, 2025, the Presidential Memorandum on the "Fair and Reciprocal Plan" for trade was officially released on whitehouse.gov.

You might argue you didn’t anticipate the full extent of the tariff implementation, and fair enough, I suppose. But I’m stunned you didn’t see this on the horizon. Are you one of those crypto traders who only thrives in a bull market? This has been glaringly obvious—practically shouting at you—for over a year. And now you’re left complaining about the fallout.

Zero empathy, doesn't give a shit about other human beings, barely intelligent enough to wipe ones own ass. That's you and basically the whole Maga base. Thanks for reinforcing what I said. If you were none of that you'd be ashamed right now.

Futures already down big. Great job Trump.

That is currently the lead story on Fox.

UK prime minister to admit ‘globalization is over’ in response to Trump tariffs: report

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is expected to give an address Sunday in which he will admit the rationale behind President Donald Trump's tariffs and ending globalism.

www.foxnews.com

"The world has changed, globalization is over and we are now in a new era," the prime minister’s office said in a statement to the Sunday Times. "We’ve got to demonstrate that our approach, a more active Labour government, a more reformist government, can provide the answers for people in every part of this country."

"Trump has done something that we don’t agree with, but there’s a reason why people are behind him on this," the prime minister’s office said in the statement.

Lefty rag Independent is reporting the same too.

Yet, here I stand apology-less

A lot of retirees will be looking for work or those that were about to retire will be working longer I guess. Imagine seeing your retirement money flushed like this. Sad.

That's life I guess.

It's going to be okay

If Trump's plan doesn't work, I doubt the Republicans will be voted back in

Life will go on

I got news for you: A global economic crisis isn't something you recover from just like that especially with countries all over the world having lost trust in the US. The repercussions of this will last at least a decade and no company will make long term investments in the US now. Even if a democrat gets elected next, the US population is so schizo that no one will be able to trust you again. You literally have no idea of the irreversible damage Trump has already done. Besides that, he already tried to steal an election once, who says he won't try to run a 3rd time? He's been talking about it for months now the same way he talked about these tariffs. Like please use your brain for once

I agree. There will be a major shift when thinking about investing in the US from here. Americans have become hostile towards the world and unfriendly even to their greatest allies. The likes of Russia and China must be licking their lips at all of this. I think Americans have really barked up the wrong tree on this one but we'll see.

Great video explaining how tariffs on watches will destroy this man's small business. He breaks everything down step by step, including what he was paying before, and what he is expected to pay under the new tariff regime.

I can't wait for the swiss watch industry to be brought back to American Soil

Should I go looking to see if my old swatch watches are still in a box in the garage?

Would you continue to support Republicans after this epic failure?
