Trump says U.S. will begin raising tariff beyond 5% on July 1 and will continue until reaching 25% on Oct. 1 -statement

Seems to be a theme developing.

1. Negotiate a trade deal
2. When deal is near, slap on tariffs to force other side to give ground
3 blame other side for trade deal failure.

May have worked when he was running his business, but I
Think he is going to be surprised and disappointed when applying it to running a country.

Even hiring a normal office staff requires proper vetting.....More over a leader of the free world...Who is this guy and what does he think his job really is?

Trump crashes west texas oil

good for now , the trend of stocks is down . Soon the dollar will tumble cause Fed has to lower rates to follow Mr trump ,$ is so overvalued , nice apportunity to sell USD and Stocks

You are giving this guy way too much credit.........crashing the economy just to ramp it up again via QE would be a disastrous strategy, and may not work.

People seem to forget that in the crashes of 2000 and 2008, the Fed cut interest rates by -4% and stocks still tanked by -50% in both cases. The Fed cannot magically fix the consequences of reckless policy.

Trump knows if he sinks the market now he can push for QE and rate cuts to kick start the rally for election year

Is this the final trigger that will take down the DOW?

'Trump says' 🐖

Trump is now putting a 5% possibly up to 25% import tariff/tax on my favorite beer Corona Extra...
