Trumpenomics

Trump made an escalating trade war with China, feel like a cool summer breeze. I guess that's 4D chess for you.

Interesting thought experiment.

The presidential election version of that is "I'd vote for a can of soup over Trump". More of a pithy comment than a thought experiment, though bravo to the writer for the carefully crafted description of a bag of bricks.

Lutnick and Navarro are probably among the few people in the country to be disappointed by this pause. Trump supporters who were excited about tariffs, are now probably just excited by this brilliant negotiating tactic of pausing the tariffs.
Navarro and Lutnick are joined in their disappointment, by protectionist populist far-left types, I guess.

Auto market research firm Telemetry estimates 1.8MM fewer new cars will be sold this year. Last year total sales were ~15MM, so this is over 10% drop.

Trump undoes Liberation Day, and the market rejoices.
The market hates Liberation.

Suppose you're a businessman, what would you do with this "90 day pause"? Import more before high tariffs kick in again?
As a consumer, what would you do? Accelerate buying imported stuff that you planned to purchase anyway before the tariffs situation changes again?
Anybody thinks "let's move more manufacturing back onshore before the high tariffs kick in again"?

@jon-nyc said in Trumpenomics:
And with 25% on aluminum, steel, and autos.
I was thinking along these lines. Glad someone quantified it. The escalating trade war with china, remains a big deal.

How are the farmers
of America taking this?
Are they more likely to plant crops or sell their machines?E.g. China has been stockpiling soybeans, and Brazil is an alternative supplier. Chinese import tax on US soybeans is now 104% ?
