Global Trade Disrupted: Early Impacts of U.S. Tariffs

Well, @Trader#6363...... the REST of the world didn't elect Trump, AMERICANS did.

He's the leader of the AMERICAN team, not the world team. That's where his loyalties should lie.

The rest of the world can elect their own leaders, to advocate for THEIR interests. Together, these leaders can negotiate on behalf of what is in the best interest of their own country, and collectively, in the majority of the world's best interests.

I'm sick of this crap of people who think Americans should expect their leader they select & choose to only be half loyal to their concerns & up for sell to the rest of the world, especially corporate conglomerates that show no national loyalty and who will do whatever best juices their profits at the expense of everyone else. If you support the world's best interest, especially with the myopic view of what makes stock markets go up, then you really are just supporting the corporate shareholder's greedy interest and not the common good.

Trump holds a significant role as a leader not just in the Western World, but on a global scale as well. The United States has a unique responsibility as the protector of freedom worldwide, which necessitates looking beyond its own national interests when engaging on the international stage. Therefore, by prioritizing solely its own interests, Trump is misusing the power of America.

Ballroom Bollocks Trump is as thick as two pieces of warm shit from his solid gold toilet when it comes to international economics and trade theory. if he think he is a positive advertisement for The Wharton School of Business he's very much mistaken. They must be so embarressed by him. Many Republican Presidents have been against the use of tariffs in the longer term, including President Reagan. What does he think the World trade Organisation was established for if not for the eventual elimination of tariffs and the global establishment of free trade as the most efficient way of achieving growth and stability.

from what i understand none of the major money movers really believe in the power of these tariffs sticking

meaning hedgefunds, mutual funds, ctas, theres no money coming in, but no one is really freaking out either

actually thats not correct, i was not finished before that posted

around 35 Billion a month are being raised in Tariffs according the the US Treasury statement. The consumer will be paying upwards of 600 billion or more per annum at the current rate.
