It's called market manipulation and it's made me more money this year than the 2 years combined. This orange nigger is doing outsider trading for everyone to follow along.

>>60774665
his schizophrenia means he simultaneously believes tariffs are great and terrible

>>60774665
Unlike most other countries, China is willing to fire back in the trade war

>>60774665
Unlike most other countries that Trump gets into economic brawls with, China is a country that has both heavy artillery and the will to return fire

>Trump Abused Children, Obviously

the "taco" nickname the media gave him is so dumb, china holds cards and is tough. even with the extension, they have a very high tariff rate imposed on them.

he has fundamentally shifted the politically reality and yet people fail to see what is in front of them
an fdr-style executive president
just look at the de minimis change
>Over time, though, de minimis distended. In 1978, rampant inflation prompted Congress to raise the de minimis ceiling to $5. By 1993, amid a global trend of waning tariffs, Congress sought to encourage trade liberalization by jacking up the limit to $200. Then, in 2015, legislators raised it to $800. (China, in comparison, has a de minimis threshold of less than $7.)
in 2015 the free marketers were still pushing through insane shit like an increase to the $800 cap
he has remade the republican party and with it the country on trade and industrial policy (another previously taboo term like tariffs)

Yes he can press Kambodia, Lesotho and Chile into bad deals
But China has actual leverage so he can only taco

>>60775299
another retard who has never heard of the de minimis change

>>60775330
I dont see how that hurts china much. Look Zog will fold to china.

>>60775259
If you don't wanna get called out for chickening out, don't vow you won't chicken out beforehand.

>>60775704
how dumb can you be... you've never heard of temu??
>The impact was severe. According to Customs and Border Protection data, low-value imports to the United States climbed 10-fold from 134 million packages in 2015 to nearly 1.4 billion in 2024. American industries were gutted.

focus on the signal, not the noise
trump is a new yorker, a real estate guy, he uses threats and leverage to obtain goals
they ramped the tariffs so high it would have been de facto decoupling, that is no ones goal... well maybe navarro's kek
by ramping up you got them to the table and the real negotiations begin
they have higher baseline and have hit them with de minimis closure, let's see what comes next but the taco line is so just so retarded

>>60775259
It's actually a good meme because it has predictive power.

>>60775894
or it's just common sense.... you go high in a negotiation initially and then work towards an outcome with the another party
with trump you just have the new york real estate stuff on top, it's amazing that people still don't understand him after all these years and just think he's dumb

>>60775870
The real signal is how the "deals" make the average American richer or poorer.
FDR was like throughout his tenure but let's see how Americans like Trump.

Is this the free market I've been hearing so much about? I can't stand the thought of any person or group being able to manipulate things as they choose so I'm partial to capitalism.

>>60774596 (OP)
TACO DON hahhaa
Good timing to balance out the hot inflation report that's coming out soon. The markets should bounce up this week.

>>60776842
Where exactly is the market manipulation though? The market has reacted to Trump's tarrifs exactly once this year, on April when he first announced them. Ever since, Trump's back and forth has been completely ignored by the stock market. So if this is him trying to manipulate the market, he has utterly failed to do so and I don't understand what you are crying about.

>>60774596 (OP)
you guys are all faggots so let me explain. chinas nominal rate is already 55%+ across the board. there are section 301 tariffs in place from his first presidency, then ieepa tariffs from earlier this year. both of those are already 45% total. the reciprocal is still 10% and any metal derivatives are at 50% the content value. he’s delaying the increase of the reciprocal tariff. china is already tariffed at a higher rate than any country except Russia, Belarus, Iran, North Korea.

>>60777300
trust the plan. 2 more weeks. patriots in control. why are people still talking about epstein?

>>60774665
Its called being a nimble navigator. TANG

>>60774665
because china just banned bitcoin

>>60777458
trump is a Zionist faggot but that doesn’t change the truth sweaty

hes trying to shift focus away from the fact that inflation is up
