Has anyone noted Trump backing down on tariffs for smartphones and computers? Why did he do this? He said tariffs were the answer to all of America's financial problems. His supporters said he was tough and resolute. His supporters said he had a plan, though he has not provided that plan to the people.
Time to face the fact that Trump rolled out a tariff plan without understanding the consequences even though most economists told everyone what would happen and their predictions have come true. Trump has now caved almost completely on 2 tariff rollouts with no concessions or deals. All we have to show for it is a mass exodus of capital from the US markets and US bonds. No new manufacturing announced. Inflation is now inevitable and a recession more than 50% likely according to financial analysts.
What a poor planner and a spineless president.
Isn't it shocking that those in the tech world who have Trump's ear after donating money to him are now exempt for the tariffs.
Are the tariffs put in place so manufacturing jobs for things like shoes and cheap toys put in place? Doesn't the US want high tech manufacturing job or only manufacturing jobs that will never pay much and automation will take over soon anyway?
Chinese are TOTALLY intimidated by MAGA, the GREATEST political movement in world history.
Yep, when every country and World leader has bowed to these killers (Covid), and cowered in fear, MAGA plays China like a fiddle. Easy work.
The wholesale, slavidtude DEI-POCS apparently can't handle the alleged "Due Process" they proclaim exists. So now it's just a witch hunt to politicize basic truths of fact in the liberal version of reality.

Good point. It’s very hard to keep track of all of the inconsistencies in Trump’s tariffs. And most other Trump “policies.”
It understandably gets lost in all of his other massive shortcomings, but his level of insecurity really is mind blowing. The constant self-congratulating, the absurd “this wouldn’t have happened if I were president,” etc.
THE most obviously, galactically insecure public official in history?

Oh, and probably well over 50% of the time: Self-congratulation about something that isn’t true in the first place.
Doge, like Trump is a total scam. A fraud. A mirage.
NY Times: “Last week, Elon Musk indicated for the first time that his Department of Government Efficiency was falling short of its goal. He previously said his powerful budget-cutting team could reduce the next fiscal year's federal budget by $1 trillion, and do it by Sept. 30, the end of the current fiscal year. Instead, in a cabinet meeting on Thursday, Mr. Musk said that he anticipated the group would save about $150 billion, 85 percent less than its objective. Even that figure may be too high, according to a New York Times analysis of DOGE's claims. That's because, when Mr. Musk's group tallies up its savings so far, it inflates its progress by including billion-dollar errors, by counting spending that will not happen in the next fiscal year - and by making guesses about spending that might not happen at all. One of the group's largest claims, in fact, involves canceling a contract that did not exist. Although the government says it had merely asked for proposals in that case, and had not settled on a vendor or a price Mr Musk's group ignored that uncert assigned itself a large and very speo... amount of credit for canceling it.
Looking forward to seeing President Bukele, of El Salvador, on Monday! Our Nations are working closely together to eradicate terrorist organizations, and build a future of Prosperity. President Bukele has graciously accepted into his Nation’s custody some of the most violent alien enemies of the World and, in particular, the United States. These barbarians are now in the sole custody of El Salvador, a proud and sovereign Nation, and their future is up to President B and his Government. They will never threaten or menace our Citizens again!
