This is why one of the first things this administration did was to fire Lina Khan.
Market corruption all the way down.

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.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
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.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. 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.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
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.
That's all the rules!

As predicted, the Tariff Pump & Dump continues. He announces tariffs, the stock market dips and rolls for a while, then he removes the tariffs, and the stock market leaps.
It's the ultimate insider trading scheme, in which the participants get to directly manipulate the market at will.
*jerk-off motions*
taxing the poor is beyond idiocy, which is why this is so perfect for the administration
"slash" is a generous way to spell "forced to backed down like the weak worm you are."
are we great yet?
So is the 30% on top of the old 20%, or is this a small parcel specific thing?
Seems to be small parcel specific
To be clear, if the value of your package is $100, you now only pay an additional $54 in Trumpariffs, before shipping and other taxes, instead of $120.
"only"
yea, avoid public outrage over a 54% increase by starting off with a 120% increase. then people will say "oh thank god it's ONLY 54% now!! thank you dear leader!!"
americans are so fucking stupid
It's the Black Friday price gouging model. Remember when gas prices went from $2 to $5 in...2008? Everyone was so excited when they came back down to $3 that no one noticed we had a permanent 50% price hike.
