As bad as things look right now (and they look really bad), the other shoe will drop in May. Trump is going to put in place a 25% tariff on all auto parts (pretty much all although there is a finite list) starting May 3. For auto parts manufacturer on the US/Mexico and US/Canada border area, many cross the border 4-5 times before they are finished. That will result in stacking of tariffs. The effect on auto prices will be devastating for vehicles that rely on those markets for parts. $10k prices increase will be common. And the real kicker is that foreign made vehicles will actually be cheaper because they won't have the tariffs on parts. So, as much as the markets are taking a beating right now, May 3 will be the "two" in the one-two punch that will completely tank the economy.
He truthed Vietnam might have 0 tariffs. Hopefully this happens with other countries as well (maybe to a lesser extent): e.g. China. Nasdaq just hit bear market
The old Vietnam tortured John McCain. That probably put them on his "Nice" list.
trump approval rating continues to slide, even before he personally caused a 10% stock market crash.
it's down to 46%.
I'm sure it will soon get to the same 44%ish level Biden had and stay there, unchangeable by anything other than a new great depression or his changing his pronouns to they/them.
Let's vote for the guy who had 6 bankruptcies, 4095 lawsuits, 88 criminal charges, 1 sexual assault conviction, 3 wives, 48 mistresses, 691 hookers, 1 insurrection, 1 mishandled pandemic, 5 layers of bronzer, 1 deceased wife under the golf course, 2 tiny hands, zero friends, zero empathy, and zero knowledge of the economy... what could possibly go wrong?
Okay, be fair: AFAIK he had a sexual assault judgment but not a conviction. I don't believe he was ever charged.
Of course, that's a distinction without much of a difference, but still.

The midterms are a long way off and this ignorant hysteria over short term pain will be long gone by November of 2026.
Trump is trying to do what he got elected to do. If it works the Democrats are in for a long spell on the bench. If it fails the GoP will get crushed in the midterms and in 2028.
No one has any idea if it's going to work yet.
Why wouldn't tariffs work? They always work when deployed on a large, widespread scale across the globe. It's called macro-economics. Perhaps you've heard the term? Do you even know what a tariff is? They are already working, Pencil Head. The economy has been restored and is soaring. Eggs, socks, soy sauce, durable goods, natural gas, futures, commodities, all restored under Trump. You media-inspired negative nabobs have lost touch with reality and facts.

The Democratic Party’s favorability rating among Americans stands at a record low, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS, fueled in part by dimming views from its own frustrated supporters.

While I may or may not agree with that last statement, I am obligated to give credit where it is due. To my recollection, this is the first time that you stated that you have no idea about something (along with everyone else, in your opinion). For that you deserve kudos.

You're operating under the MSNBC/CNN assumption that the tariffs are the end goal.

I think this is probably correct. The long-term pain--if any--will probably be more determinative in 11/26.
I'm sorry, I'm gonna vote "No" on the new standard for judging public servant competence being, "Is what they did today bad enough to play a big role in a far off election?"
By that standard, and in view of the short memories of human beings, you can do a LOT of bad stuff in office.

You Libs have been so wrong on so many legal issues. You repeatedly said Trump was a convicted felon when he was NOT. I am sure you don't know the difference between assault and battery. As well as the difference between oral and verbal. Possibly spend more time on understanding the law instead of repeatedly posting garbage posts on here. Read up on the law! It will do you wonders.
It's funny that some of you guys, some of the time, like to pretend that you're not Trump Humpers. I guess it makes you feel pretend sophisticated and nuanced.
But you're too stupid to not also occasionally at least PRETEND to understand that it makes zero sense to say anti-Trump = liberal.
Nope, Liz Cheney - and the rest of us - are just died-in-the-wool libs.

Sure. How do you think President Trump was re-elected? We all have a tendency to forget the bad stuff and remember the good.

They are not.
What IS the end goal? Causing market chaos by rapidly changing US economic policy repeatedly? Increasing prices for consumers? Causing companies to announce layoffs and shut factories? Causing long time allies and trade partners to look elsewhere for investments, markets, and global alliances? Forcing people to kiss the ring to get relief from tariffs? Please enlighten us.

I'm OK with aspiration. I can remember a disqualifying thing (or a thousand) that a candidate did 4 years ago. I can, with GREAT futility, hope for the same from my fellow citizens.
