I'm certain this was agreed upon in the recent phone conversation between Trump and punting Putin

Great we can keep our good food and wines at lower prices.
It would be pearls before swines if they go to the US.

there probably is some stuff that the eu makes that the us doesn't.

If he tarriffs those, we should not replg by imposing tarriffs of our own (cutting our own balls off). We should just start increasing our prices for those products, therefore increasing their tarriffs

Isnt the company that makes the ultra precise lithography machines used by tnmc Dutch. Should sell them to Tue Chinese

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Who would sell them? No sane corpo would shoot themselves in the foot like that.

At last, the big unifying moment when we'll stop scrolling through memes and DO something. Yessir, I can feel it! Yep, any second now...

WYM do something?
If you're European or anywhere else watching this clown expediating the demise of the US you need to do absolutely nothing and let him carry on.
If you're in the US IDC. They all deserve what they get, they did nothing about that horrible country when it was trying to be the hegemon and harrassing the rest of the word since they profited and were fine with it.
Now they get a taste of their own medicine they complain but that's about it, they are weak and incapable of real resistance.

Donโ€™t worry everyone. Once he and his cronies line their pockets, itโ€™ll get reversed. Itโ€™s okay.

Trump and his friends are making billions off manipulating the stock market by this mechanism.

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

How much should I bet this time that trump will bitch out

He just literally doesn't give a shit if he is fucking everything up and he's too stupid to do the right thing.

The strategy: Put in some shorts, announce Tarrifs, rake in the cash. Buy an obscene amount of stock on margin, announce a reduction in tariffs, rake in the cash.

The next day: Have Charles Schwab on TV with you to announce how your illegal market manipulation and insider trading have earned the man billions in a day. Every dollar of which was stolen from the retirement of the working class.

I live in a sea of selfish, undereducated, self-sabotaging, brainwashed Americans who are dumb as fuck.

Market manipulation and even short trading (do you want to invest? Then invest for years or at least several months, not days or even less) is a tax for the wealthy, paid by everyone else.
