That remains to be seen.

I wonder why he pardoned a bitcoin company (bitMEX) and four individuals that got busted in Manhattan for trading without any money laundering protections? It couldn't be he wants to allow dark money buy influence with him or allow people to bribe him with untraceable donations to his bitcoin.

You take it for what it is worth. Trump is pro-America and the American worker. Just the facts.

I do not know anything about bitcoin. It is something I'm not interested in.

The first concrete effects of the trade war are emerging in the United States. The signs are profound. Ports are filling up and factories are shutting down. While stock markets mostly anticipate the future major economic consequences of a trade war, the first concrete effects are emerging on the docks of ports and in factories in the North American auto industry. Here you can see in miniature what may be happening on a larger scale in the near future. In other commodities, too, the early signs indicate that major changes are about to take place. Companies shipping goods to the US have booked 67% fewer containers in recent days.

The number of containers going from the US to ports elsewhere in the world will also soon fall sharply. In the week prior to Trump's announcement, there were 516,000 bookings worldwide with the US as the destination, according to Evofenedex and Vizion. In the following week, that number had fallen to 169,000 containers (counted in TEU, twenty-foot equivalent unit). These are bookings for transport over roughly six weeks. Bookings for exports from the US also saw a decline. Before Trump's presentation, bookings for containers from US ports to ports in Europe and Asia, among others, stood at 139,000. After the announcement, 83,000 containers were booked. Companies in Europe, China and elsewhere took massive breaks. The abrupt drop in the number of reserved containers could eventually lead to an imbalance in global trade. During the corona pandemic, the balance of containers moving back and forth between Asia and the West became severely disrupted.

Btw: Tariffs are consumers taxation.

Guessing you have seen the DJIA today? Will it have staying power until the close? We will see.


The containers will sort themselves. They did at Long Beach 2022(Covid).

BTW, foreign tariffs are taxing the hell out of American consumers. It is not reciprocated until now.

You see what i told you guys a few days ago. Trump was bluffing the entire time.
At least the companies i bought are now 12% up xd.

Anyways to early to celebrate. Still a lot of things can happen.

Certainly. Yesterday it was out of gate looking good. Fizzled by the close. Let' see what happens.

Trump: 90 day tariff pause on most countries.

EDIT: all countries BUT China.

Most countries will return to the 10% tax if i read it correctly
China gets 125%.

China is the big game Trump is hunting for. Trump was never shy about China and what his thoughts are on it. It appears to be his end game. But, we can see how the world reacts when the USA decides to fiddle with things. For now, we wait and watch.

As a side note, I think Trump was laughing at his tariff on an island of penguins. It was never to be taken seriously.

Why did your guy pardon child traffickers and pedophiles? It couldn't be because old Sniff and Lick is one of them right?

Agree :salute:

Only the countries that did not take countermeasures.

China seems to believe it can win a trade war with the US. By raising import tariffs, China is showing it is not afraid of Trump's levies, for which it has been preparing for years. And if everything goes wrong they will just lock everyone up, just like in the corona pandemic. The Chinese are used to suffering, and have been doing so for centuries, so 4 years is not a problem. The Chinese seem to be hoping that this will cause unrest in the US. It is the opposite world, China now wants to force the US to make concessions. 'Basta, we're going to bite back hard.'

Among other things, China wants to hit the US agricultural sector hard with additional high levies on products such as soy, millet and meat. China has also halted imports of chicken meat from a few major US companies, under the guise of concerns about bird flu. The suggestion is being made that China could later stop imports of US chicken altogether. Another embarrassing move is China's decision to halt exports of some important rare earths. These raw materials are crucial in the production of electric cars, satellites and advanced weapon systems, among others. Top executive Marc Smith of NioCorp, a company in the US rare earths industry, called the Chinese move ‘a precision attack by China on the Pentagon's supply chains’.

Where do you come up with your ridiculous assertions ? Why don't you list some facts and links. Make sure they aren't from the leftist Publications you seem to favor. I'm wondering why you are so upset that Trump is taking care of Business at home here in the U.S ? Is it because the cash cow has dried up for you ?


Your own Country has a great number of problems, as we all know. I think your time would be better spent on trying to address the multitude of Issues your Country faces.

The more you complain, the more I realize that your Country won't be taking advantage of us anymore. It also makes me realize we are on the right path.
