This is the real US red wall. That market opening is going to be brutal.

What's the bet after his people buy cheap he reverses this.

That's the inside dd. The tariff threat is "the one neat trick they don't want you to know about"

Wouldn’t be surprised if the same thing happened with Colombian coffee and oil. It’ll keep happening until the markets call his bluff.

That makes a ton of sense, I was just complaining in another thread that it didn't make sense the market took so long to react to deepseek, but this being the real reason makes much more sense

Idk if Trump is attempting to bottom out the economy but the actions he’s taking would be exactly what one would do if that were his intention.

The fact that he would be completely incapable of fixing any of the disaster he’s about to cause is hilarious too. He got lucky the first term with a deadlock in congress and Covid preventing his shenanigans. He’s guns blazing and the confidence that he’s above the law.

Its a manufactured depression, last time it happened we had the nazi party in Germany.

Brother are you saying the economic fallout from World War 1 was manufactured?

i mean technically, yes. the indemnities, reparations, and land concessions demanded from treaty of versailles destroyed the german economy by design and in part led to the emergence of fascism as a national corporatist alternative to the internationalist capitalism of the allies. this isn't even a hot take, it's pretty standard interpretation of interwar history.
