TLDR Reciprocal Tariffs, are not a thing. Trump’s methodology to “calculate tariffs” is Fubar.

Largest Tax Increase since 1968, and Trumptards are peeing their panties trying to defend it.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's cumulative tariff hikes amount to about 22%, which would be equivalent to the biggest U.S. tax increase since 1968, according to a note from JPMorgan.

The bank has raised its risk of global recession to 60%, up from 40% previously, and said the tariff impact could be "magnified by retaliation, supply chain disruptions, and a sentiment shock."

The note cautions that "sustained restrictive trade policies and reduced immigration flows may impose lasting supply costs that will lower U.S. growth over the long run."

It's just replacing one tax with another.

Sure Trump promised no tax on tips but then it's made up with higher tariffs.

It's just fooling the voter all over again, & the promises are used to bait them with false tax breaks just like they were in any other election

It stuns me. I knew there was a large population of dumb fucks, but I never, ever realized just how mind-numbingly stupid they really are. And mean. Stupid and mean is a deadly combo.

It's amazing how ignorant Americans are. When it hits their pocketbook they'll realize it. That's selfish to be honest. They don't care when others were being harmed.

Ignorant and selfish.

They're still going to blame someone other than Trump/Musk, though. A lot of them will, anyway.

The biden thing has no resonance anymore
I think it still does with his base. I mean, they are still talking about Hunter, ffs. They make no mention of all the grifting Trump children and children-in-law. And Musk? Nah, he's not a grifter, at all. But Hunter???????? Meltdown City.

You really have to consider writing off his base. There is no hope there. There is no redemption.

So, this is a thing here.

I know people who are stock piling cash because they are worried Trump will seize our assets in the US. I have a friend whose son works at some top-secret government job, and he told his mom not to post about T or M anywhere.

This is the America those MAGAt fucks wanted, I guess.

That's insane! My friend that I was going to the protest with today called and cancelled on attending. I wonder if people are worried about how insane they are...

That's certainly possible.

My son yesterday was expressing his reservations about me going. He says people are hateful and crazy. He thought someone might drive a car through a crowd, or shoot up the protest.

He's not crazy for worrying...so, I was already wondering when my friend called to cancel. I can't believe this is America. Good thing you got out when you did.

He's not crazy at all. We've seen those things happen so many times.

It's funny. Also on the news this morning I saw that 40 cities in Spain today had protests regarding affordable housing and living wages. The turnouts were huge, and the thing that really struck me was that the coverage of them was really good. In the US, those protests happen, and many other Americans never know. MSM doesn't want to show that people are upset.

It's sickening how much is kept from us in the US. I have to watch sources from other parts of the world to get some things that are happening here.

“I don’t know why Trump didn’t learn the lesson of the Smoot-Hawley tariff,” Siegel
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
Friday on CNBC. Trump tariffs may even be worse than Smoot-Hawley because trade is much more critical to the global economy than it was about a century ago, Siegel added.


I'll tell you why Trump didn't learn the lesson. Because he's a stupid motherfucker who is congenitally incapable of learning anything that doesn't revolve around his toxic ego.

Oh look! Fairy Tale Marxist dreams from Blandy the useful idiot.

No, Blandy. All taxes are theft, pure and simple. It is not "an investment in community and public service." That what the one's stealing the money just say to make those they are stealing the money from feel better. What taxes really are is tribute taken at the point of a gun.
You cannot even explain what left means to you, let alone offer a synopsis for Marxism. America and their Cold War idioms use tropes that they feel hijack the narrative, but in the end policy is decided therein via sound-bytes and terra flopping environs on social media channels, like a spent cock and wallet in a Texas whorehouse.

Grant you you have less public services than we do, but Musk and his merry acne fuelled adolescent men, have still found billions in savings from the services you don’t actually need. Apparently. Who needs Medicare or social services, who needs federal interference in state education, who needs a weather service in tornado alley, who needs libraries or welfare cheques?

Who needs investment unless it benefits those able to afford investment in stocks and shares, who needs pensions, who needs SME’s when you can wipe $250 billion off Apple stock overnight, who needs Canadian energy, or steel, when you cannot cover your own deficit in manufacturing at home because you created and invested in the totality of globalisation.

Who needs anything that is not American Reg. Not you.

Reap and weep at what your ignorance will proffer you.
