    The one thing about Trump is he is not averse to reversing course. If he sees something going poorly, he’ll pull back and go in a different direction. Take the spending freeze. It was too confusing, people were bitching, and there was a legitimate shot that it would bite him in the ass. So he pulled it. If Trump sees inflationary reactions to fall that are actually incurred, he will pivot.

      We’ll see. Just be prepared for gas at the pump to increase. That will be first. There will be also other consumer product increases across the board in short order. That’s how it works when integrated supply chains such as they are North America are disrupted.

      Also, expect other countries to retaliate on the import of US goods and services not only in kind but in concert as well.

        What precisely are we trying to get out of Taiwan?

        Factories.

        Yeah, but TSCM is already investing USD$XX billion at a plant in AZ. And, somebody said earlier that these factories take years to come up to operation. The biggest problem right now in the AZ plant is not the construction, but getting the proper labor.

        Forcing TSCM and other Taiwanese semi-conductor companies to build in the US does not solve that problem.

          "Factory" is the wrong answer.

            The inflationary concerns might be too subtle to change his mind but I’m not sure how much of America knows that tariffs are literally price increases paid by the end customer.

                      Bloomberg is how one monitors bond markets. Let’s make sure no one in the treasury department has access. Why would they need that, anyway?

                        May be they’ll utilize the services of astrologers to keep an eye on the markets.

                          I believe Politico Pro is the real target of this. And a well deserved one.
