Oh nice, a 110% tariff on China would at least partially cancel out the Canadian and Mexican tariffs while mainly screwing over his own country. I'm all for it!

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Narrator: "they heard him - and replaced it".
Ooooh wee, it's going to be a bumpy few ~~years~~ decades as Der Furher sends us into another once in a lifetime financial crisis.
If you shirk responsibilities that come with power, you lose that power.
If you abuse trust put in you, you lose that trust.
America is screwing itself.
Are we the bad guys?
us is going to run out of people to trade with at this rate
Is time for the new and revamped BRICCSM to be a thing (annexing Canada and Mexico)
ah yes, more lebensraum. i hate this timeline
Jfc, he's like a toddler with a new word, just jamming it in everywhere to see if it fits. Try the keys in the light socket while you're at it, Donnie!
I predict a huge collapse of the us dollar before his term is up
The BRICS are already trading without dollars. They might price things in USD, but the actual trades don't use USD.
But is he really gonna tariff 55% of the global population?
The world economy will just adjust to operate without the USA. It will be painful and take a few years, but it will also be irreversible.
To be frank, we don't need a global reserve currency in this digital age. Businesses and consumers can cheaply trade any currency pairs with minimal costs.
The dollar's status is a leftover from the past.
Sure, and if the BRICS countries offer free spaghetti dinners for residents, I'll sprout wings and fly there. This is notoriously not going to happen.
Hahahahahaha
That's the biggest threat the US is actually facing.
That's how all those big juicy trade deficits are actually funded Donnie, by the USD being the reserve currency and by the rest of the world buying US bonds. Literally what Nixon replaced Bretton Woods with.
Hahahahahahaha
He looks like he is Self-anointing like some Capuchin Monkey.
This guy is all stick and no carrot.
Have you seen that bronzer?! He must be some carrot, but it’s only skin deep.
It's like his politics start and end through/with violence.
I wish I could remember - there was an Italian word for it. Oh well.
"If you don't stay I will shit my pants so hard that you have to leave"
Shame that he doesn't have the capacity to decide when to shit his pants.
