TRUMP'S TRADE WARS.

Trump's Chaos over Tariffs 
and The Market reaction is
not going well , but certainly 
Trump may have to
negotiate a rebound in the market.

Adam Smith warned the UK against this kind of stupidity in 1776. 
And, yet, here we are. The ERA of economic stupidity is upon us . Well am not trying to criticize Trump's decision to dump tariffs on Canada , Mexico, other countries. It's TRUE that the United States is treated by huge taxes on imports into the country. BUT the issue with me is the negative Domino effect on the US stock market. If you think prices are high now, wait till Trump's tariffs kick in! And guess who ENDS up paying for these crazy tariffs? No, it's NOT the foreign country, or the importers who simply pass ALL of their costs on to you, the consumer! Got it?Wall Street went into a panic over the " uncertainty" of the economy . Next TRUMP rolled another 💣 BOMB that America might be feeling a little Recession. Whatever 😏 !? Trump has a better chance of CUTTING ✂️ TAXES, and negotiating tactics with trade , rather than slapping tariffs on countries that seem to have their cards ♦️ in our own Stocks. This can't be The ART of THE DEAL 🤝 . One possible motivation is revenue generation. He’s implementing them as a form of national sales tax. The end goal is to pass corporate tax cuts by substituting the revenue from the tariffs. Obviously this does more harm than good as tariffs inflict a large amount of waste. However, the very rich (who are his real base) will benefit at the expense of the middle class and below.I'm 100% convinced that we won't see a properly functioning government in the US in my lifetime.  The propaganda and culture wars run far too deep and and the entire system is set up to prevent democrats from being able to fix things in any sort of lasting way.  We're watching a complete stripping of the US for parts so that billionaires can consolidate money and power, and no one will ever be able to build it back to what it was even  worse in the Obama years. Nah, the kind of economic collapse these tariffs will cause is going to go way beyond a little market manipulation, at least in terms of outcomes. The biggest industry that is going to get fucked here is the American auto industry, and they're going to take it from both ends. Their manufacturing costs are legitimately going to go up a ton, and even if they don't raise prices out of proportion, the new car industry is highly affected by price increases. On the other side of the equation, a failing economy is going to mean fewer people in a position to buy a new car. If Trump continues with this stupid plan we're going to see a repeat of the used car market in his first term, where used car prices skyrocket, and new car sales are going to tank. 


It's EVEN though how the MARKET REACTION
.
President Donald Trump on Thursday doubled down on his escalating tariff plans, even as his economic agenda continued to rattle investors and contribute to a weekslong stock market sell-off. 
"I'm not going to bend at all," Trump said when asked about his tariff plans during an Oval Office meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.But let us not forget it was WALL STREET & CONGRESS who led the selling & closing of American companies! They were the "pimps" for the foreign countries who benefitted from our outsourcing craze of the 1980s & 1990s, followed by China. Democrats in Congress also allowed foreign "price dumping" during the 1970s & 1980s. They said U S. businesses were evil, and they would not take any gov action to defend them against "unfair" trade. The President doesn't drive equity markets, so "Trump" didn't do anything Equities rise and fall , For all the leftist "1%-ers" who rail against "Wall Street" and 'the rich' it's comical to see this sudden desire for 20-30% annual returns in the stock👉 market. Nobody is going to make expensive changes and move their plants to USA when this president makes abrupt changes (or threatens them). Businesses thrive in stability. They will make plans that don't include USA. Their brain. Trump tariffs would crater the economy, cause an actual recession, and lead to significant layoffs in the US as companies adjust to significant shifts in their cost. There’s not a single person with a basic understanding of fundamental economics who thinks a stock market at all-time highs resembles anything close to baked-in assumptions that tariffs are coming. The MARKET REACTION is possible that foreign governments investing in US stocks are pulling out .The sell-off in US stock markets fueled by fears of a recession could prompt investors to put their money elsewhere, changing up global financial flows.  At the end of the day, we just don’t know. Not to just dogpile on Trump as always, I don’t think we know what he is ACTUALLY UP TO. So it sure is possible. If I had to guess, he’s going to implement some high profile but minimal or targeted impacting tariffs. He is already making a big show of it and how great the policy is. Democrats will over react , that they were responsible when Joe Biden helped plummet the economy  leaving Trump with chaos or raises prices, but they likely will have minimal macroeconomic impact because they are only limited tariffs. I sure am discounting the chance of across the board 20% tariffs as happening to be pretty unlikely that the next couple of months will the MARKET REACTION will reverse .

Kicking Zelenskyy to the Curb .

Zelenskyy managed to Con Europe and 
the United States out of
Billions and Billions of dollars 
in a endless war . That's wiped 
Out Ukraine.

Way WAY back in 2022. Zelenskyy addressed Congress on a big screen demanding a no fly zone , asked for NATO troops in Ukraine. The INSANITY exposing Zelenskyy is probably worse than Putin's . People have to wake up AND SMELL that something is FISHY about how this proxy war started at first glance.  
Everyone already knows that the Ukrainian war is just a massive scam designed to steal American Tax Payer Dollars. Hell, even the filthy Migrants get a cut of the money sent to the disgusting Ukrainian liars. We need to defund Ukraine immediately. No one has even died over there. It's a complete scam set up be Ukraine, Russian, and Biden corrupt family.Now after the tumultuous press conference with Zelenskyy, Trump and JD Vance ripped into , if not embarrassing shout out on live TV . Just think , five years ago Zelenskyy was the poster boy for American money 💰, to fight and keep Russia in the trenches in a endless war .   Zelenskyy is a media creation - a puppet of the West, designed to empty Ukraine of its sovereignty, and ultimately its resources too. Now , it's all upside down for the clown Zelenskyy, Trump is not having anything to do with extending the war anymore. He's made remarkable moves to reset communication with Russia. The remarkable truth about the Ukrainian Dictator Zelenskyy  Selected, backed, and funded by a grossly corrupt Billionaire (charged by the US with stealing billions)  Zelenskyy is a fraud and puppet, today's bloodsoaked Vassal of Western elites, began as the puppet of a criminal. Zelensky pushed his people to the dangers of war by trusting US & European countries . It was a wrong assumption . Ukrainians were left to bear the brunt of one sided war.It is important for a leader to protect his people . Instead of protecting them , Zelenskyy asked them to fight a monster without any training or weapons !. If Zelensky was smart , he could have post poned this war and prepared his country militarily strong enough to take on Russia and then gone ahead with war if necessary. That way he could have saved lives & livelihood. What did Ukraine get from this war ?.Nothing. No NATO membership !Russia waged war to prevent Ukraine joining NATO. Russia is successful in preventing Ukraine from NATO.Had Zelensky agreed to remain neutral , war wouldn't have taken place at all.As a citizen of any country , a president who puts lives of his people in jeopardy can only be rated as bad president.Americans are lied to blatantly by the government to manufacture military conflicts as part of their basic operation now, it seems. And it's absolutely destructive to the fabric of our society. Is it that much of a wonder that Americans are crazy and have no trust in their government (or belief in anything they say) when they've started multiple losing wars off of nothing and lied about it the whole time? You cannot have a society where the government is okay with misleading every person in the country for money, and then expect everyone to not be a crazy grifter. Just look at the “glorious hero” Zelensky, “a second Churchill”, “a second Napoleon” and a second Hitler (the most suitable comparison for him). He is a billionaire! He has property everywhere. But he doesn’t spend his own money to help the Ukrainian military, of course - there are millions of fools believing he is “protecting the democracy” for that. And his own children aren’t dying in the trenches - there are common Ukrainians for that. I’m no “fan” of Russia, but the Ukraine war is a US proxy war that’s being funded by US taxpayers as a fumbled attempt to help re-industrialize the American economy, an effective ploy to further enrich defense corporations, and an obviously successful propaganda effort to distract the American public from imminent economic decline and the general failures of the current regime.On this last point, simply look at the obsequious treatment Zelensky is given by both the media and government officials. He’s considered to be a “hero” for simply doing his job.But if you look at his history, it’s a dark one. He was quite literally a comedian before he used shady election deals to become President. NOW ,now its proven that OP was right, Zelensky just said they wont win the war, somethign WE ALL KNEW from teh start, 200+ billion donated, zelensky is now a billionaire, he funneled tons of money to his accounts, wearing that stupid outfit of his each time during meetings like what is he trying to prove. Volodymyr Zelensky is a puppet “president” of Ukraine. A former comedian, he is just playing a role of a President instead of being a real President.Everything Zelensky tells is a lie. As the Ukrainians say, “How do you know when Zelensky is lying? When his lips are moving, he is lying”. Zelensky is the head of a very corrupt government, and his personal wealth is more than $1bln. His wife have spent more than 40K Euros in Paris on the single DAY - and he is still collecting money to help the Ukrainian orphans. Nobody have ever heard him donating for any cause, his children aren’t fighting for Ukraine while he is catching the 16-year-old boys on the streets, and so on. Is that enough for you? I have a lot of examples, but I guess you’ve got the picture.
