A completed, air-worthy Boeing 737 MAX that was already in China got returned to the USA -- because Xiamen Airlines, the supposed recipient of that airplane, cannot afford the tariffs and thus cannot take delivery.

Stocks down. Dollar down. Treasuries down.
It’s like the markets are beginning to realize that the real problem isn’t just the tariffs, but having a crazy man with far too much power over the economy.

Just wait until he figures out how to fire Powell and put Laura Loomer in charge of the Fed.

The semi-coherent ranting is certainly going to do wonders for market confidence.

Trump is panicking that the rest of the world isn't cooperating with his insane economic gambits. From Powell to China, everybody is letting him dig his own grave.

Sooner or later all autocrats succumb to pathological paranoia. In Trump’s case it is sooner rather than later.

Rebuilding wealth, by intentionally destroying trade relationships which were creating wealth for every American with any economic skin in the game.
@realDonaldTrump
Since our announcement of LIBERATION DAY, many World Leaders and Business Executives have come to me asking for relief from Tariffs. It’s good to see that the World knows we are serious, because WE ARE! They must right the wrongs of decades of abuse, but it won’t be easy for them. We must rebuild the Wealth of our Great Country, and create true RECIPROCITY. But for those who want the easiest path: Come to America, and build in America!

It's like a bully on the playground saying "many kids have come up to me asking for relief from my wedgies!"

Always Sunny in Philadephia, TV show. I bought the first few seasons. It's very funny.

Doubly frustrating considering that the world economy was headed in the right direction. World stock markets were trending up, and the US usually beats them.
So, we're down when we should have been up.
Even more frustrating - it'll take months for this to really percolate through to "Main Street", at which point it might take even more months to unwind it.

Unlike Jesus, the person who had the second largest impact on religion, my 401K is not risen.
In fact, it appears to have been left to rot on the cross.
Still, not to worry, eggs are no longer 10 dollars a dozen, so we're in fucking great shape.

I'm going to save upwards of $20 this year on eggs, compared to Biden's prices. No word on how much my retirement has been drained in the time it took to write this post.

Also, nobody who isn't a billionaire will be able to afford gender reassignment surgery, so that's another problem solved.

All that Trump gaslighting about how badly America has been treated is really paying off.
