Trump: Reciprocal tariffs take effect at midnight tonight! Billions of dollars will start flowing into the USA

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump · Aug 6, 2025

RECIPROCAL TARIFFS TAKE EFFECT AT MIDNIGHT TONIGHT! BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, LARGELY FROM COUNTRIES THAT HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THE UNITED STATES FOR MANY YEARS, LAUGHING ALL THE WAY, WILL START FLOWING INTO THE USA. THE ONLY THING THAT CAN STOP AMERICA’S GREATNESS WOULD BE A RADICAL LEFT COURT THAT WANTS TO SEE OUR COUNTRY FAIL!

"Billions of dollars will start flowing into the USA" ... Donald Trump is a liar. Who pays the tariffs?

Ignored

Exactly. Nothing is "flowing into the USA". This is billions of dollars being paid by US importers, companies and consumers. It's a tax on the U.S. by another name. Money is flowing from US citizens to the government.

Meanwhile, Trump is trying to figure out ways to use more gold in the White House...

Yes, this. I see the major players doing business with each other, but where will be the widespread profitability for the technology as a whole? Further, the things they say will be needed re: increased power generation capacity will simply not be attainable in anything short of a timeframe measured in decades. Hype is going to have to hit the reality wall eventually.

This is an interesting read - https://paulkedrosky.com/honey-ai-ca...e-the-economy/

The AI juggernaut is already here and is the main growth driver. As the author states, "We are in a historically anomalous moment." He raises some interesting points, and if you start to delve into his research on money flows, you may conclude that we are in a peak AI bubble. I'm an amateur investor and trader, but an expert in the software and tech industry. I don't see a return that meets the investment.

This is not to say that the AI market is doomed. Not all 90's dotcom companies were doomed, and there are many differences this time around. But we do seem to be peak hypecycle.

As for President Trump, he’s fucking ecstatic.

His trade deals are going exactly the way he wanted. He’s ticking every box: with the UK, with Japan, with the EU, with South Korea... and that seems to be pure meth for the Street

Euphoria's in the air. The market’s hitting record highs. Many companies have no revenue but tons of future promises and their stock prices are soaring. Investors are leveraging like they haven’t in ages.

"We are beggining to see an early parallel to what you saw back with the internet boom in the late 90s" - Dan Ivascyn, Chief Investment Officer at Pimpco

MAGA animals and fools believe in Trumponomics... and all that Trumponomics' shit is left behind, tariffs→tax hike, trade clashes, the falling dollar, Trump’s war with Powell, the government deficit, interest rates… all of it, ...just forget it! Buy big!

Go, MAGA BUBBLE!

Destroying the relationship with global trading partners will come with a price tag.

First US comsumers will be taxed by tariffs like never before.
Inflation will soar
People will start to boycott US products globally
Trade deficits will even become bigger
Nobody invests in a market where one guy is setting tariffs according his daily mood.
Trading partners stop or reduce buying US treasuries
USD dollar will weaken further, heating up inflation even more
US debt crises

Might evolve this way.... but it takes time and todays world seems to be much more irrational on every level, because truth, facts and logic are burried under massive propaganda and lies on every level.

At one point the pain will be big enough to forces rapid changes in policy.

We are not there yet.

Yes. And that is exactly why I place near zero weight on fundamentals in my trading. For example, I just did a small Mexican Peso thing about an hour and a half ago. I know absolutely nothing about Mexico. It matters not.

I was only updating my thoughts on new aggregate information as I read it. There are at least a dozen factors, but mostly known, or known to be unknown (China), and so are given.

I am not a macro-economist, but something that seems to be forgotten is that any change in monetary policy takes at least a year to fully filter through to the real economy. Not to be confused with the financial economy, which can be swift.

So all that noise about the Fed - I consider irrelevant.

Partisans will always try to reduce complex issues into black-and-white & try to spin things to their point of view. The economy under Trump's radical tariff regime is complicated. Huge tariffs will be inflationary, but the slowdown in thee labor market will be deflationary. It'll take time for either of these effects to evolve. None of the trade "deals" with the most important trading partners have even been settled. So there's still a dominant theme of uncertainty out there in the real economy, which is why companies are not hiring. They mostly aren't firing, either, so employment is flat. The removal of illegal immigrants is ongoing and looks to be ramping up, although slowly. The net effect of all this remains to be seen.

Meanwhile, there's this juggernaut of AI/cloud computing capex that promises to underpin the economy for many years to come. And Trump's "deals" with various countries and companies which include promises of massive investment in infrastructure and capex inside the USA. These kinds of things take many years to play out. I have major concerns about how widespread adoption of AI up and down in the economy will affect employment. The most vocal proponents of AI talk about AI displacing 100's of millions of jobs.

OK, then the Fed. Will they really even matter that much? The FOMC will probably be moving toward more easing, but they're not going to do anything radical. Especially if inflation appears to be increasing.

US equities look very stretched and in need of a pullback. But that's been a tough bet and probably will remain so.

A key ingredient to be able to use the word irony is that there be some form of humour involved. It may be dry, and often is.

That takes nuance. Nuance takes intelligence.

Unless the humour is smutty jokes. Trump can do smut. That takes neither nuance or intelligence.

I trade options. A lot. More than a passing interest in volatility is essential.

Outside of some Time Series methods which are OK but designed more for economic analysis/forecasting rather than trading, I gave up on trying to predict volatility a long time ago.

Other than what can be anticipated, like in the lead up to an announcement, but that is implied volatility, clearly a different beast.

I don't get too sophisticated. I know there is all manner of levels of analysis. I'm just retail. Often just rules of thumb, like watching delta etc which becomes second nature.

As an importer/exporter, just call me Art Vandelay... I send goods to the USA. I also buy goods from the USA, well I used to anyway. When Chump charges me a tariff I just laugh as it doesn't really affect me. My importer pays the tariff. And guess who he's gonna charge? Derp, the poor sucker down the end of the line or the US consumer...

My business may now export less to the USA, but I don't care because it's a small portion and I can just just shift business to the EU/UK which I have already done.

Seen the rise in the Euro and Pound over the past 6 months? I have pushed a few large trannies that moved markets. Buying Euros and Pounds while selling dollars. Interesting how my activity is reflected on charts...

Adios Amigos. Will see ya when Chump and his Cronies pump the S&P back to triple digits. Or the US breaks out into civil war, whichever comes first
