Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Stock market doesn't believe his truth social report it seems. Apple shares are still up mid morning.
Assuming we make it out of this, I’d be in favor of Chinese style justice for all of these insider trades.
Government management positions for them and their family?
I was thinking of how they handle the folks they don’t like. It’s swift, decisive, and irreversible.
MAKE UP YOUR MIND!!!
I think you're confused. They make up their mind all the time, then check if everyone sold/bought stocks and than they make up their mind again. Then they check if everyone sold/bought stocks and on and on.
The AP source title is: Trump’s commerce secretary says new electronics tariff exemptions are temporary, chip tariffs coming
The part that's been denied is that the exclusion is permanent. Since Friday, electronics from China would be subject to 20% of the fentanyl tariff and nothing more. It will be this way until Trump invents another tariff just for electronics. I believe this is what most commentators expected back in Friday, but there must be talks of capitulation and Trump couldn't stand to lose face.
Crazy that someone checked the facts and shares about it and 3 hours later only has 5 upvotes including the one I just gave. Thank you.
Maybe next time you should begin your comment with # HERE IS THE CONTEXT GUYS!
The USA is definitely a joke now. It's just that everyone is laughing nervously. We are afraid that falling so fast from top to bottom will bring the system down.
Which system? The US political system? That one is damaged beyond repair and needs to be reworked completely. The global economic system? That one is also damaged beyond repair, but the rework will create a lot of instability and most likely war.
Yes I was thinking about the global economic system. And like you pointed out, I'm worried that the rework (on top of being ugly) might end up in a worse situation (in terms of inequality, freedom etc...)
I'm worried that total economic collapse would only consolidate power and not distribute it. I'm not versed in history so I could be wrong
Its a concept of a plan.
Trump, "There was no Tariff ‘exception’ announced on Friday".
Nope, totally nothing to see here: "Reciprocal Tariff Exclusion for Specified Products".
He really thinks that the public has an even shorter memory than him (and that websites don't exist).
Stock market futures be like 📉📈📉📈📉📈📉📈📉

Every movement of the stocks can be used to make money if you know it's coming. These guys are making hand over fist with insider trading fraud.
IMO he probably knows he’s gonna die soon, so this 2nd term is all about locking up money for his kids.
😂 Thats actually hilarious, if the kids are getting rich it's a by product. Trump has never cared about anyone but himself.
It is kind of hilarious lol I just figure what’s the point of accumulating all this wealth
An insider trader's delight.
Lol holy shit. And a few hours later he's going to deny that he denied the exemption and be like "what are you talking about? I said certain electronics are exempt!"
I'm starting to think that maybe the reason Elon Musk did two blatant nazi salutes in a row was to test what they could do in front of everyone's eyes while denying it, and to see how many people would just go "ok sure, I didn't see what I just saw. Whatever you say, dear leader."
I doubt Musk's salute was that deep. He's not some slick political operative. He's a 4chan dipshit who thought he'd be edgy and cool and tiptoe up to the line. He thought it would be much more ambiguous what he did and he'd "own the libs" by making them look like fools to the normies who genuinely wouldn't see it for what it actually was. He clearly was not expecting basically no one but the cultists on his side to not see what he did.
The evil behind trump is thiel and putin
