OMG! The way they determined their “retaliatory tariffs” was to divide what the countries sell America by what they buy from America (the trade gap, not tariffs).
This took a 7% tariff in China and to match us China raised it to 35% based on this idiotic random methodology they decided on.
How did they figure out this metric? They asked CHATGPT to develop a tariff policy for them (without it knowing basic economics or the difference between a trade gap and a tariff).
If you input "What would be an easy way to calculate the tariffs that should be imposed on other countries so that the US is on even playing fields when it comes to trade deficit? Set minimum at 10%." into ChatGPT you get the exact tariff plan they proposed, with the exact same complete misunderstandings of economic terms and realities (like the fact that the US buys more than we sell by choice, or that uninhabited areas can’t be tariffed effectively).

Shocker, because American doesn’t produce products, every country sells us more than we sell them….chatgpt didn’t understand this is by our own design.

So far nearly $4 trillion gone from the stock market, (edit, now day 2, over $7 trillion gone and much more going) and many trillions more lost in cancelled international orders. Q2 will be known as the start of the Trump Depression from now.

Anybody else notice even uninhabited Antarctic islands were included, but not Russia or N Korea? No explanation, they’re just exempted. I know one moron who doesn’t think that means Putin has Epstein tapes of the felon and 13 year olds (maybe 13 year old boys), but he’s the only one.

If only our leadership paid more attention than these students we might not be trying so hard to start a second Great Depression.

How were these tariffs determined? Take Vietnam, who barely imposes tariffs on the US, but they sell us $136 billion in goods and only buy $13 billion from us…he calls that a 90% tariff and generously only imposed a 45% tariff on them. Trade gaps are not tariffs…Vietnam doesn’t have $136 billion to spend on American goods, nor do they want them. This is what we get when not one person running the economy is an economist or even successful at business (without billions in government handouts and bailouts).

Over $2 TRILLION evaporated from the stock market 100% based on these stupid trade war salvos.

*doublepromote for tax hike day, the largest tax hike in history, without congressional approval….20%+

Inflation already exploding maybe double digits already. Suddenly maga says “inflation is patriotic”

Gas prices are spiking. Grocery prices spiking double digits, eggs $12! Stock market crashing. China’s international trade pact has gained a dozen (40) nations with all central and South America in talks while they consider trade war with America while switching from using the dollar to using the yuan.

Unemployment exploding unbelievably. Crops rotting in fields because there’s no one to harvest them. Hiring frozen.

Ukraine war still in full effect, with 6 more on the horizon thanks to threats.

We quit the WHO and closed our pandemic response team (again) and forced all public health agencies to stop communicating with the public right as bird flu is emerging as a pandemic.

Child pornographers, the biggest/most prolific drug dealer ever in America who assassinated his rivals, and over 1500 more violent cop killing thugs released from prison to reek havoc across America, many already rearrested for violent armed crimes, one got in a shootout with police and died.

Just 8 days in, and the nation is completely crumbling, the rule of law gone, the economy in freefall, a pandemic starting. The president is on vacation.

If you voted for this and you love America, you should eat your gun.

You are partly correct, when he gets into office, the numbers will have already plummeted….
…plummeted because businesses are reeling from the implications of his stated plans (like up to 200% tariffs, and killing the ACA and putting all healthcare costs back on employers and the resulting loss of work) and have started cutting workforces drastically, stopped hiring, and are halting bonuses and promotions so they can afford to buy all of next years stock before Jan 21 when it will cost significantly more. Others are preparing to close because they work in multiple countries, shipping back and forth during production, and tariffs of any size are going to kill their businesses, so better to get out before they’re forced out and broke.

The major economic downturn started Nov 5th. and is accelerating.

"They Just Got Handed Fraudulent Books" - Ed Dowd Confirms Our Warning That Trump Is 'Inheriting A Turd Of An Economy'

Former Wall Street money manager Ed Dowd is a skillful financial analyst who said in May the economy was skidding. Now, Dowd predicts the economy is poised to “roll over” and soon.

"I have never seen such blatant manipulation of government statistics.

There is government spending and government hiring to paper over what is truly a bad economy for the average man. When I was asked prior to the election who do you think will win the election, I said Trump has already won, according to the economic statistics. That’s why he won. Bobby Kennedy helped along with Elon Musk, Joe Rogan, lots of people switching and what have you. What really got Trump in was the economy, the real economy, not the stock market.

It was not the ‘everything is hunky-dory’ pablum from the mainstream media.

The real economy has been rolling over, and we are just waiting for the financial markets to figure this out.

When they do, Trump is going to inherit a turd of a financial market crisis.

Government statistics will be updated, and it will show we started a recession sometime this year...

Bwaaahahaha! That’s absolutely not what you said, you said it will be great under the felon, booming all the time, everything will be amazingly better in every way…or crash immediately under Harris (just like you said in 2016 and 2020)….hypocritically hilarious that now you admit he will tank it. 😂

Also hilarious you want zero responsibility despite having 100% control….or it would be hilarious if your party wasn’t led by an infantile fascist with unregulated power and immunity for ignoring the constitution on a vendetta against over half the country.

The Biden economy is the envy of the entire world and far better than the first Trump economy unless you erase all his losses and only count successes. It is growing, not shrinking, manufacturing, gdp, jobs, wages, and earning power are ALL growing, deficit, inflation and interest shrinking..and every other metric is moving in a positive direction under Biden including the deficit. That will not continue under the bankrupter in chief. Hide and watch. He will double the debt and we will have nothing to show for it but another negative gdp.

GDP, stock markets, profits, jobs stupid, infrastructure, all measurably and significantly better under Biden than the felon, all better under Biden even erasing the omnibus disaster that was 2020 under Trump.

I blamed Trump for year 1 of Bidenomics because he kept most Trump policies, just as I will blame Bidenomics for the first 6 months to 1 year of Trumpenomics (depending on what he changes and how fast).

I just gave you the clear undisputed starting point numbers. Just like in 2016. I would bet whatever you want that, again, they will be worse after 4 years, but you Welch on bets so I’ll just make you a gentleman’s bet, those and all other economic numbers (except the personal wealth of the top 1%) will be worse in 4 years.

If he follows through with the mass deportations, that will trigger a depression.
If he kills the ACA with just a concept of a replacement, it will trigger a recession.
If he enacts 20% tariffs on imports, it will trigger a recession, followed by a trade war, followed by a global depression.
If he withholds federal funding from blue states as he has threatened, it will trigger a civil war.
The first tump administration was a slow train wreck (with a few actual train wrecks thrown in), the Biden administration has been a slow cleanup of that wreck…admittedly far too slow. The next 4 years are poised to be an ELE size meteor strike, making us wish for those halcion days of deregulated chemical train wrecks.

Yes. Never bet against the prejudices and stupidity of the average voter. Think how stupid the average person is, then realize fully half are actually stupider than that.

I would like you to pin down EXACTLY how it will be “better”…because the economy was better under Biden, health was better under Biden, crime was better under Biden, deficit was better under Biden….so how EXACTLY will it be better, and pick something that is measured like crime or gdp or unemployment or average lifespan or the stock market, not something ephemeral based on your feelings. Then we can take today’s (or Jan 19ths) measure and see how 2, then 4 years change it. I doubt you’re prepared to stand by your statement, prove me wrong.

Once again, all the looting, burning, bombing, and shootings were right wing nutjobs, just like the two attempted assassins and all the violent Jan 6 insurrectionists. This will definitely embolden them. They may continue to pretend to be left wingers, like the Boogaloo boys did during the 2020 BLM protests, or they may finally feel secure enough to be honest about who they are and what they stand for (like the Boogaloo boys were in their written manifesto only found when they were caught after setting off bombs and shooting cops and blaming BLM).

The media has been on the felon’s side this election, sane washing him daily while scrutinizing her every syllable. Why do you expect a reversal? They’ve been bought by right wing billionaires and are still under threat of losing their license if they don’t pretend the felon is a virile genius superman who does literally everything right.

Terrible economic news.
254000 jobs (after the last two great months that both had their great jobs numbers revised UP).
4% unemployment
Wages up almost double inflation
Stocks skyrocketing into unheard of realms

Both the port authority and longshoremen publicly credited Butigieg for ending their stalemate and getting an agreement that put the ports back to work. The felon’s only idea was “fire every one that strikes” because he doesn’t understand the job requires years of experience scabs simply do not have and that would paralyze the shipping industry in America for years if not permanently.

The felon is livid, how dare America not fail for his benefit!?! 😂
Shocker, the oldest and most delusional candidate ever now refuses to release his medical records after promising to do so all summer. What horrific thing is he hiding?

As a bonus, student loan forgiveness was approved by the courts today. When it rains, it pours.

lol….maga terrorists blinked again and gave up your idiotic Trump plan to close the government right before the election to crash the economy for Trump. He still assumes any shutdown would be blamed on Biden, assuming no one pays attention.
Trump is so pissed! Another “L”
Americans won’t forget the 4th attempt to crash the economy for one man’s gain though, and we/they see clearly exactly who is trying to crash it. 😂

Thank you for sticking with Mark Robinson, the black Nazi, slavery fan, and golden shower enthusiast that likes to tell everyone about how great his sister in law’s unwashed asshole tastes after he pisses and jizzes all over it, and other even more disgusting debauchery even I won’t repeat. His direct ties with the felon couldn’t be stronger or less escape-able. Trump 100% vouched for him in the strongest terms…birds of a feather.
Another “L”.
I know you are still voting for Robinson despite the horrific facts about him, he 100% represents your morals. 😂
AMAZINGLY APPARENTLY HIS ENTIRE CAMPAIGN STAFF JUST QUIT! Seems like they’re certain it’s all true, and why wouldn’t they be, it’s 100% verified and years or decades of disgusting insanity using his screen name, e-mail, and ip address from long before he was a public figure (before you try to claim its a plant)

Florida is now in play, more so now since over 500000 naturalized Haitians live in Florida, they vote, and they don’t eat pets (the felon won Florida by 375000 votes in 2020). Expect the numbers to get worse for you, Harris has a 21% lead with women nationwide today. As his sentencing nears and it becomes clear Vance will likely be the actual president if they win (so he can have the power to pardon Trump or allow him to flee the country), his numbers will plummet faster than DJT stock! Vance is horrifically unpopular with every group besides maga men!

Uh oh….Twitter is now banned in Brazil, and the EU is about to heavily fine it up to 6% of its international gross or even ban it too because Musk refuses to comply with the laws and told them to “take a step back and literally fuck your own face.” when reminded he has to comply with the laws in the countries his platform is operating in.

Revenue is down 85%+ since the idiot took over. He may well be forced to sell a ton of Tesla stock to keep the doors open….unless the felon puts him in charge of “government efficiency” (meaning he could award himself government contracts and raid the treasury with no product free money contracts.)

lol.
Yeah…the “white boy summer” white Christian nationalist party that thinks anyone supporting BLM should be deported to Africa or Gitmo, that stared the racist hashtags #vivekswillnotreplaceus (replacing the “jewswillnotreplaceus” racist hashtag) and #Jeetmaxing about too many Indians in your party (like Vance’s Indian wife, his Indian kids, and Vivek), the party that got and accepted the endorsement of the KKK, the party that has been clear they think blacks should not have a vote (or women), that wants voter ID to disenfranchise black voters, that had “I hate fucking n*ggers!” Hulk Hogan as a presenter at the RNC, that has ultra white nationalist racist Nick Fuentes as a rising star, whose outreach was “our guy is a criminal too, just like you blacks, don’t you like him now?” and “he’s got flashy shoes too, just like you blacks, so don’t you like him now?”, who brought only criminal murderers and sex offenders on stage as representatives of Black America, who rented a black church and filled it with white people wearing “blacks for Trump” shirts as black outreach, and whose platform is returning to pre 1950s style white Christian nationalism controlled exclusively by white Christian men is the anti racism party.

Sure Bob. And the red lining, “kill the Central Park 5 even after exoneration” felon never raped those women and girls, was only on the Epstein list because he was going to the island over and over and over and over and over and over and over to protect those girls he knew were being raped there…and to get legitimate “massages” (same for the young girls he set up with “jobs” on the island, they were guards), never had sex with that porn star, or that playmate, or the dozens of women he bragged about sexually assaulting on camera, didn’t buy a teen beauty pageant to leer at 14 year old girls naked, never cheated on his taxes or golf, never cheated on loan documents, never made secret deals with Russia and China or Saudi Arabia using American assets for tens of millions of dollars personally, etc.

Are you really so stupid and clueless you believe these idiotic propaganda pieces with paid actors and activists actually changes minds? It doesn’t, and hint, you never have. Whenever YOU make a claim, most people understand that means what you claimed is 99.96% likely to be intentionally false, and .04% likely to be just a misunderstanding on your part.
It only takes 6 (maybe 5) votes to sift a video….you managed that ONCE in the last 18 months…and it wasn’t political.
Maybe you think you are being a nuisance, ruining our days with your disruptive presence…but for me shitting verifiable facts directly on your ignorant propaganda is a fun diversion or I wouldn’t bother. I know full well nothing penetrates the rectal helmet you wear….you do know no one here believes what you post, right?

If you want to help MAGA, you should become a Democrat. You would drive so many away just with your presence….but you aren’t that clever….I think you might be so delusional you might not even know what a laughing stock you really are.

It’s about you….

Yes, you utter moron.
“White guy uses 10 black employees to pretend he has black friends” is racist.
Slave owners “hired” thousands. Racist often hire minorities, then abuse them, overwork them in untenable conditions, force them to do things against their own communities like this staged fake photo, and usually under pay or simply don’t pay them. Are you really so clueless you don’t know that? 😂
Your ilk says slavery was a good thing for Africans, pretending they didn’t have lives, families, and professions in their homeland and learning to drive a plow horse is fair compensation for enslaving them and theirs for multiple lifetimes….and you convince yourself that’s not racist.
You should be enslaved and taught the invaluable skill of mucking out septic tanks by hand…maybe your great great grandchild can use that skill to make a living, so it’s a boon for you.

He (well, his sub-organization, I’m certain he doesn’t interview black applicants himself) hires them as cover…to use as photo ops like this and cover for his constant outrageous racism. He claimed these were his “black friends”, they are not, they are his “black employees”. Paid actors pretending to be his friends for cash, you brain dead slug. SHOCKER! You don’t see the difference when they’re subhuman minorities….stooping to be near them is saintly and makes Kirk a good man despite his constant blatant outrageous public racism….just like the Convicted Felon and Rapist.

If President Biden’s campaign tried this you would be screaming “RACISM” at the top of your lungs until mid November, we both know it’s true, but because it’s true I expect you won’t admit it, maybe even to yourself. Biden’s campaign would NEVER do this though, because he HAS supported the black community consistently and he has their REAL support, not just some paid political actors, not just rented “black churches with felonious pastors filled with old white racists wearing “blacks for Trump” shirts. 😂

10 (some temporary) employees out of an organization of tens of thousands dedicated to a blatant racist agenda. Most are employees of Blexit, the Turning Point USA funded, Candice Owens run attempt to turn minorities away from Democrats using lies and intimidation (so she hired them, not him). It’s a failure.
The point being these are employees he tried to pretend are his personal friends because in reality he has ZERO BLACK FRIENDS because he is a complete 100% racist, unapologetically, I don’t know why you would pretend otherwise, he’s pretty open and up front about it.
This just reminds us of ALL the fake “outreach” Maga has done, all the photo ops that end up being paid operatives pretending to be random strangers over and over and over and over again, which every time remind us how little support maga has among minorities and exactly why that is the case. It’s hilarious to watch you deny decades of blatant racism because now you NEED the black communities support. It’s not coming, they also see through the stupid denials and constant projection.

MAGA is racist because maggots are racists who believe in white Christian nationalism which is a racist movement intended to strip all rights from all who are not white christian men.

Kirk leads a white Christian nationalist movement….you dimwit.

How’s your Trump Media stock doing? How about your “all in at $400 a share” Tesla stock?

Lol. Charlie “white boy summer” Kirk is whining because he was called out for his constant racism so he posted a photo of himself with his 10 “black friends”, every one of which is an employee on his payroll spreading his message, not a friend.
Nice try, racists. You can always rent a few uncle Toms or uncle Ruckus to hide your racism, it only makes you MORE racist. 😂

Oof…Trump media is going below $25 today, probably $20 tomorrow. Teens next week, single digits after the debate. Penny stock by the time Little Donny can sell…he’s still gonna make Thousands!

The RNC has stupidly gone full purge mode, attacking even maga conservative Republicans if they don’t back convicted felon Trump 100% 100% of the time. MTG tweeted to her voters that anyone even thinking about maybe replacing the convicted felon as their candidate should get out of the Republican Party and vote for democrats and they will be “replaced” with new voters (not sure from where…Venezuela, Cuba, or North Korea?). Any iota of independent thought is enough to be purged, have funding cut, and have the RNC leadership publicly state no one should vote for them. Disgraced ex potus said any businessman who doesn’t back him 100% should be fired (and intends to make that law). Hilarious because you fools don’t have a vote to spare and this idiotic ploy is party suicide. Because I know you don’t know what the word means allow me to educate you… this is fascism.

Another Trump endorsed maggot insurrectionist lost another primary in Georgia.
Even extreme right polls are now showing President Biden well ahead. The good economy is finally being recognized and the criminality can no longer be ignored. Biden has gained nearly 10% in the weeks since the felon’s conviction…he’s going to gain more after the debate when the felon implodes, gibbers incoherently, and poops himself on stage.
Enjoy your white boy summer.

One more week…will he show up and embarrass himself or will he stay home and embarrass himself? I’m curious what these “debate performance enhancing drugs” are your ilk accuses Biden of using that make an Alzheimer’s patient suddenly rational and sharp, and is Don willing to take a test for those drugs before going on stage himself, because he REALLY needs them?
Also, can we get a truckload sent to every nursing home, because if there’s a drug that erases Alzheimer’s and/or dementia they will want to know. (Since it will go over your head, I’m joking, there is no such drug).

😂 Jr is telling you idiots that his Daddy (he thinks it’s his daddy anyway) isn’t on the “Epstein list”. 😂

I bet you take his word for it.
Truth is no one else is featured as often or as prominently as Doe 174, (DJT). A minimum of 7 trips on the Lolita express to kiddie rape island (and recall he had multiple planes himself, and absolutely took them to kiddie rape island repeatedly as well, and flew with Epstein on the Trump plane often as well, proven with flight logs), he’s accused by multiple Epstein victims of rape, and they were all under legal age, some under puberty age…all told “you look like my daughter”.
Epstein rode on Donald’s plane too, with Donald and girls as young as 15.
Trump was on the SS Lolita too, the party barge full of 14 year old girls and 60+ year old millionaires.
Multiple Epstein victims were referred to him by Donald, told Epstein would give them a better job than they had at Mar a Lago.
Recall, he still wishes Maxwell well, after her conviction for facilitating the sexual abuse of young girls. She must have serious dirt on him.
Donald is on audio recording talking about forcing his way into the dressing room of 15 (and younger) girls to leer at them nude.
Donald is on video lusting after his daughter a few hundred times, talking about wanting to have sex with her, etc.

Thanks for the reminder Jr. “Not on the Epstein list”….MOTHER FUCKER HE IS THE EPSTEIN LIST! 😂

The fake “black church” event was hilarious….not a single black parishioner in the crowd because he RENTED a black church and (criminal) pastor, he wasn't welcomed by the church goers, he had a crowd of 300+- elderly white people wearing “blacks for Trump” shirts….they’re already claiming there were 8000 people in that max occupancy of 350 church (it wasn’t even full). There was literally only one single local black person there, and 5-6 they paid to come from elsewhere. The service was a worship of the felon, not God, not Jesus, but the one you put above them both, Don. Convicted felon Trump’s outreach to the black community doesn’t include the black community…he left that photo op to go to a rally by Charlie Kirk, a massive blatant racist, where on stage they flew flags saying “WHITE BOY SUMMER” and other racist, slogans.
The black community is insulted by the idea that such a sad little show will make them forget how he treated them for 4 years.

Meanwhile President Biden went to the black church that was attacked by a white supremacist in 2015 and prayed with its actual congregation.

BTW- Records prove that in 1927 Fred Trump Sr (The convict’s grandfather) was arrested for being a KKK member who was part of a racist KKK riot of 1000 racists that attacked police in Queens in an attempted race riot.
His son and grandson paid millions for racist redlining.
He refused to denounce the KKK or David Duke…he actually pretended he didn’t know who David Duke or the KKK was (hint- remember the meetings you went to with grandpa where everyone dressed as ghosts and talked about the inhuman animals and what must be done about them? Duke is their leader.)….Mr. ”I see nothing…I KNOW NOTHING!”

Literally everything you morons do is a fraud.

EVERYTHING

BTW- Crime stats are out. Dark Brandon is better at fighting crime than the entire Justice League put together. 25% drop.
Economic numbers are insanely good, best in the world, constant record high stock markets, low unemployment, high wage gains, dropping inflation…as long as you don’t have antixwoke stocks the market is BOOMING! Sorry DJT stockholders.. 😂

Once again, your grasp of the English language tends to point to who is really stupid here. “Your are stupid”? So close…keep trying, you’ll pass first grade English some day. 😂 😂 😂

They aren’t gaining territory…not for a while. You are over a year behind, and were never right on the facts.

Russia is trying to get Ukraine to agree to the current frontline as the permanent border…they wouldn’t be doing that if they were gaining ground. Ukraine says absolutely not…they wouldn’t be so quick to say no if they were losing territory still.

Russia has made no significant progress since last years Ukrainian counter offensive that granted wasn’t a total success but did drive Russia out of territory they had held…learn to read. Russia now holds approximately 20% of Ukraine, a serious shrinking from the maximum seized territory.
They are being pushed back or at worst held in place by a force that is essentially unarmed (after maggots blocked aid) and under 10% in numbers…and we just rearmed them.
Russia is losing territory they stole, slowly but they are losing. Their spring offensive was not very successful (but was costly) and when the squadrons of F-16s start flying and M1-Abrams start rolling they will be destroyed, they cannot defend against them.
They are now completely insecure in Crimea and may lose it, cannot sail the Black Sea fleet (they are hiding their best ships in Cuba!), and does not have an air force that can compete with F-16s. They are also enjoying attacks deep into the mother country with multiple groups of saboteurs in the country doing major damage daily.
The Russian people no longer support the war, and know the reasons for it were outright lies. The economy is non existent, banks closed, stock market offline, their sons are all dead, injured, in Ukraine, or on the run, their military is completely decimated, their oil infrastructure is being destroyed…and no one is coming to rebuild them , they will remain global pariahs for decades to come. North Korea is supplying their ammunition, and it’s so bad that it is more dangerous for the Russians than the Ukrainians. China and N Korea aren’t going to help rebuild the Russian economy, they can’t. Europe and the US are going to rebuild Ukraine. It will be the shining star of Eurasia.
Ukraine may expand into Russia soon. It’s incredibly likely they will take Crimea back.
Russia overplayed its hand and is so screwed it may actually fold as a country SOON, it has destroyed itself and now that we are actually backing Ukraine (not piecemeal drippings blocked by MAGA every time they can cause damage and help Russia) they have lost, they just won’t admit it yet (kinda like you)….who is surprised you believe they are “WINNING”? They’re “winning” about as much as the convicted felon and rapist has been since November 2020….which is not at all. The tiny temporary territory gains they’ve made this month were so costly they aren’t “wins”. If it costs you 20000 troops and 4 armored divisions to take a town that’s now rubble, and your enemy held you back for months and only lost 1000 troops…. you lost.
