All I can say is that Season 2 of TRUMP has exceeded my already very high expectations.

And can anybody explain the sort order in this table?! Anyone?

On the other hand, Swiss companies already have EU subsidiaries that can import stuff into the US. That’s already 13% savings.

Wondering what will happen with the F-35s.

Stock market futures are crashing down, the Dow is down a thousand points at the moment.
Trump is crashing the financial world.

The tariffs are much higher than the worst case predictions

What could go wrong?

Mind boggling if true.

As if the Trump administration has the know-how and patience to actually calculate some kind of value-weighted average tariff instead of just half-assing it.

What could their end game be I wonder?
Tanking the markets and losing a lot of money and causing a new 1920ties stockmarket crash with world wide turmoil can’t be in the interests of Trumps handlers.
So who wins here and what is the gain?
This is the kind of scenario I could imagine aliens would use to cause disruption as a prelude to invasion.
Or evangelicals trying to kickstart the rapture while watching the world burn.

For instance.

This is fucking crazy.

S‘matter… you can’t sleep either?

I am in Asia.

Ah. Makes sense.

The WSJ says: Trump is saying that there will be no tariff exemptions, but watch that promise vanish as politicians, including Mr. Trump, see exemptions as a way to leverage campaign contributions from businesses. Liberation day is buy another yacht day for the swamp

Perhaps this strategy?
*Tank the economy, shrink government and GDP, destroy everyone’s 401K.
*massive uprising on the streets, introduce martial law

  • arrest all journalists, activists and political opponents, send them for all-expenses paid holiday to El Salvador
  • Remove tariffs, restore economy, cruise into 3rd term.
  • Nothing more to see here, Gaza-Lago here we come.

I guess if you’re going to have a recession, it makes sense to have it early in your term so you have time to recover.
