Tariffs

[wellingtontx]

Most are literally HALF what they are imposing on us. Art of the deal.

Exactly. The market will stabilize. Fair is fair and it will make the Country stronger and more independent, which a little initial pain. Should have happened a long time ago.

Preach it brother

Man, I am 9 months from retirement, and it makes me nauseous to see my retirement money dwindling too but then I look at my 2 kiddos and 3 granddaughters and quickly realize THIS AIN'T ABOUT MY FUTURE...

Lets roll!!!!

All must come forward, get in line and kiss the ring. (or his feet as Laura suggests).

Trump WILL be the central hub for global trade. He will succeed in this, and everything else that he sets his mind to accomplish.

[BlackoutRam2500]

I completely understand why Trump is doing this, and what the end goal will be, but the messaging and the ripping of the band aid has been brutal....for anyone that has any angst against Trump this just adds fuel to the fire....My buddy retired Tuesday and he has lost his freaking mind right now...
Nancy and Bernie said the same thing Trump is doing now many years ago but it would be political suicide and they know it.....Trump doesnt worry about that so he will be the one in history that had the stones to do it....relax, dont look at it and if you have any side cash...invest next week and you will be smiling down the road....

Geraldo came out today and said he vacationed in Japan and NEVER saw a single American made car...there is a reason for that....TARIFFS on them in Japan

Exactly! I've been in Spain for almost 2 weeks and I've seen 2 Fords and 1 Chevy my entire time here. No Cadillacs but every other car is a Mercedes, Audi, BMW, Peugeot, or Porsche. Hell I'm even seeing BYD here which is Chinese 🤔

my company that is French owned just announced an additional 700M investment in the US. That bring them up to over $1B in the last few years in new plants and additional manufacturing in all our US plants. Almost 20 years with this company and the last few years by far have been the most they have spent ever in the US.

You're really hoping Walmart can change their model really quickly. With Nucor there will be ongoing union negotiations instead of producing.

Nucor is non union and Walmart has the best tight economy retail model the world has ever seen.

Do any of you GS expert budget balancers/finance experts/mathematicians have an answer for this country building back its wealth and cutting our national debt without the use of tariffs? Besides the obvious DOGE findings. If so, I would love to hear them because what has been taking place was not working, and this country is on the verge of a total financial collapse if some major changes are not made. Many are focusing on the small picture (their personal money) and forgetting the big picture, the existence of this country.
If this country and its economy implodes then your personal money will be worthless anyway.

If it was going to payoff debt I wouldn't have as big of an issue but $0 are are marked to reduce debit. This is to offset the tax plan he is submitting.

This is being sold just like the Lotto for Texas... "to fund schools"

It all goes hand in hand brother.

Nice part is they are trying to get the Feds out of the schools.....whatever they do with it it's money coming into the coffers and with DOGE hopefully will be used wisely, the stuff they are finding is much worse than even I ever imagined........saw video of New Zealand PM and said they are scheduling a meeting with Trump over tariffs, haven't looked to see what their tariffs are but they are a pretty protectionist nation, can't move there unless under a certain age, X amount of income, etc.........

My 2 cents for what it’s worth.

I hope Trump succeeds but…
1/2 the country already believes he’s the devil incarnate and a bad economy and even higher prices would be all it takes to flip the congress then the rest of his agenda doesn’t have a payer.

The gamble is Uuuge.

I’m hope in Tump’s thinking it’s the opening move for negotiating better deals and if so okay but if it starts to go south fast I pray he has the good sense to reverse course.

50 countries are lined up for talks right now. China shot their own foot and gonna see the rest of Asia coming to deal while their economy craters.

Im in your boat. And I've lost a lot since it started
! ...like bigly. But i have hope that Trump and his team...who are much smarter than me know what they are doing. Not going to play along each day going forward to the ups and downs of the media induced drama. Will swing back around in a month or so and see what its looking like.

Patiently waiting for the meltdown about the 104% tariffs on everything from China starting tonight. The screws are being tightened
