@Copper said in Trumpenomics:
Every tariff discussion should be grounded in two key numbers: 50 and 33
Every tariff discussion should be grounded in one key question.
Does this tariff help in the coming war against China?
Lose that war, and the rest of this doesn't matter.
Then if that is the parallel world you live in, MAGAt USA should immediately stop shitting on its friends and allies with punitive sanctions disguised as tariffs, and extortionist threats. Would help too to your perfidious demagogue president would stop licking Putin’s ass.
My next elbow will be a hell of lot harder if you come back at me with your usual disingeuous and passive aggressive snark
You don't seem to be a friend.
Check your spelling.

You’re right, I am not your friend and, by the way, your disingenuous head is still up your arse.

I’ve heard people say it’s all about confidence and optimism.
Perhaps investors think Trump doesn’t have the right temperament this time around.
Or maybe it’ll be fine tomorrow… who knows.

I have confidence and optimism that Trump will pivot if it looks like the market will continue to plummet…

Sorry I missed that earlier.
Okay then, you tell me how to spell “wanker” in American. Better than anyone else here, you are the one who ought to know.
My spelling is fine thank you and every bit as good as your’s or anyone else’s here.

I think a lot of it is about perception. And stability.

Ben Shapiro shares Warren Buffett's wisdom:

It's just interesting that Shapiro is sharing it. I think most reasonable Trump supporters were hoping the tariff stuff was on the less serious side of his campaign rhetoric. Ben said as much in his debate with Sam Harris.

I sense some buyer’s remorse in that statement.

@Renauda The tariff stuff is in the con column, and by far the most important thing in that column. Lots of stuff in the pro column, which I won't litigate in this thread.
I’m sure of that as well and upon much of it I
have no comment because it is internal to
the US. I too agree though that doing away with the current DOE is a good thing for the US. Am sure there are others as well.But I get it and respect that you are much more at home with Rand Paul than Trump and his ilk. There s a fair amount of Edmund Burke and Thomas Paine in my thinking as well, albeit tempered to meet the modern era.
But on foreign policy and trade, the SOB makes it my business to comment, sneer and dunk as required and deserved. Capice?
-
I know it’s becoming a new political axiom that we have no morals anymore, only interests.
But does anyone still hold on to quaint notions that character matters?
Even if it’s not a sincere internal character, but at least trying to live up to what we as a nation think a laudable leader looks like?
I think we’ll lose something every important in the long run if we let that go. But maybe I’m too much a goody two-shoes on this.
I just find Trump’s amorality… disturbing.

Think of the money we’ll save.
For the past five weeks, employees at National Institutes of Health technology transfer offices have been barred from filing new patent applications and been restricted from licensing existing ones, STAT reports. It’s a result of clampdowns on external communications and new contracts at the agency that are blocking it from sharing research materials with collaborators and taking crucial steps to ensure the discoveries its own scientists are making can later be used in the development of drugs and vaccines. “Being such a huge place of research, there was so much going on and a lot was already falling through the cracks,” one NIH patent specialist who was recently laid off said.
