Tariffs

[PlanoDano]

Whose algorithms feed copilot? I really don't believe anything I read.

You could just blame the numbers on Biden and you would be partially right. The numbers mostly come from the New York Fed. The point is that this is where we a starting. There will be a buying surge as people use tariffs as an excuse. I am betting a significant portion will be on borrowed money.

We won't pay more for very long. People will start buying American goods. Companies will manufacture here. Breaking our dependence on Asian manufacture is absolutely critical. It's gonna happen in case of war regardless. TRUMP is doing it on our terms.
now for the loss in stock market value... that is artificially gained and artificially lost. About to be a money making opportunity. I'm not talking about day trading , I'm talking about buying steel(nucor) and retail(Walmart) on this dip.

[Txhunter3000]

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

. Who wasn’t listening ?

YOU WEREN'T!!!.... Nice azzchewing soliloquy, Buck, but don't leave out....

We want to grab guns without due process.
We will bring the meds via armed guards to your door.
I would like to be dictator.
You will never have to worry about voting again.
I have always been a snake.
I am the chosen one.

TDS or facts? Next time you feel like typing that garbage, do it one handed, while pointing inward.

[RiverRat1]

Maybe because American made autos are crap.

LOL And American made cars have a hard time competing here after imported cars are taxed a crap load. No one here would buy American if they were 40% more and imported were not taxed.

Watched lady on TV representing the EU talking about how disappointed they are over tariff's and if he would have just talked to them they would have been willing to make a deal..........now she claims that.......even watching old clips of Pelosi, Obama all of them claiming how unbalanced trade is and dangerous but did nothing about it and now it's pure evil to do it.......

[GarGuy]

The tariff war has been full swing for years but we never shot back. Countries with no power jumped in because we didn't defend America. Now they are stunned that we won't play any longer.

[Man]

You are right. He is a dictator. Lucky for you becouse of his age he will probably only be able to be president for 15 more years.

[friscopaint]

I see video clip after clip of politicians, most still in office, over the past 20 years or more claiming the trade imbalance needs to be fixed yet nobody ever did anything till now......actually some clips from the 90's........funny is it's same one's now screaming the loudest about threat to democracy, etc........Pelosi, Schumer, Obama all said it yet did nothing.....

No no no LOL
I am not "right" I am just holding up the mirror for you guys.
"He is doing exactly what he said he would do!"
YES, what he told us is happening. He said it. Not me.

[TeamAmerica]

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

I try to be sympathetic to people trying to cope with market swings. Buffett has said if you are not emotionally capable of watching big swings in the market then stock ownership is probably not for you. BTW, Berkshire is up 19% over last year. And he has a $300B cash stockpile to buy when others panic.

Trump has to deal with the deficit since no one else wants to. Jobs report in March exceeded all estimates and most job loss was government jobs. Everyone needs to take a deep breath and relax.

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.
