Trumpenomics
-
Top White House and administration officials have been promising businesses, consumers and fellow Republicans more “certainty” on trade in the coming days, eager to calm skittish markets and avoid the stock market plunge that accompanied the White House’s initial tariff roll-outs.
But they have one problem: Donald J. Trump.

Thanks! I want to share that. I wonder if I can find the non-X video?

What Reagan is saying seems so obvious. I understand that Trump possibly actually doesn't get it, but it's so disappointing that so few of the rest of them are willing to admit it.

Suck it up, 401(k) people. Suck it up. We’re storming the beaches of Normandy.
Ah, the old 'Compare it to WW2' ploy. It seems to work for Nigel Farage. Maybe Trump will appear in green wellingtons and a stupid hat next, pretending to be a farmer.
Some British wag suggested that Britain could revitalize the British aerospace industry following Brexit by going back to building Spitfires and Lancaster bombers.
The funniest one is when people talk about 'The Dunkirk Spirit'. Because coping with humiliating defeats is what Brits do best.

Trump announced, and now, market is crashing. Bigly.
The home of the brave and the land of the mark up.

I don’t understand how you let one idiot take down a country like this. There is no national emergency.
Name a single executive order by previous Presidents that’s even in the same galaxy as impactful as this.

And there's just no point to any of it. Our savings are being tanked, in order to initiate a process which will end up with higher prices on everything.
For factory jobs, I guess. More factory jobs.
Education is extremely important.

The only possible excuse is "It's a negotiating tactic".
Trump's problem is he really believes he's a genius. Dunning Kruger.

So how accurate is the chart as far as the barriers/Tariffs that the other countries are putting on US goods?
For instance, the EU at 39%… What are the tariffs or barriers they are referring to? Is it strictly customs? Are they referring to the VAT, which is on all goods sold in the EU, domestic or imported? Are these universal fees that are placed on all goods? I would appreciate more info.

Finally our kids can work in sock factories instead of those damned Vietnamese.
