    My guess is they need 9 R senators and 2 House Members to strip Trump of the tariff ability. (I assume this is a 60 vote thing for the senate? Not 50%?)

      "...the stock market went up 88% in my first term... more than any president has had in any term in office... BY FAR."

      You know... except for Clinton II, Reagan I, Roosevelt I, and Coolidge I.

      Other than those President, Trump isn't lying!

        Great sale on Wall Street, today. Might even reach BOGO level discounts!

          The truly troubling thing has been the threats against companies raising their prices…

            It's ok guys, Trump knows what he's doing. He's never bankrupted every company his name has touched before.

                https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04/03/business/trump-tariffs

                Which countries are spared?

                ... Moscow was spared because sanctions imposed on the country after its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 mean that U.S.-Russian trade had effectively stopped. North Korea, Cuba and Belarus, which are also subject to tough sanctions, were also excluded from the new levies.

                Also an interesting contrast:

                Iran [...] was hit with 10 percent tariffs, the lowest tier on the White House’s list and lower than the rate imposed on Israel, a staunch U.S. ally.

                    I am hopeful this is a 4D chess move where Trump tanks the market, then over the next 3 years "no one has made the stock market go up 200% in 3 years!"... like a cursive capital V.

                              It’s TDS to think the largest tax hike in history should go through Congress.

                                        Someone once said that Maga analysis comes in two forms: ‘Trump is DESTROYING his enemies’ and ‘Mr Trump is being treated very unfairly’. Nothing in between.

                                          Someone once said that Maga analysis comes in two forms: ‘Trump is DESTROYING his enemies’ and ‘Mr Trump is being treated very unfairly’. Nothing in between.

                                          I imagine the MAGA people are very disappointed in how disloyal Wall Street is currently being.
