Just look at the market.

So it is clear that Trump and Musk created the tariffs when they were cash-rich, bought all the stock they wanted, and now have released the tariffs. With that, I submit the evidence below, the same amount of evidence that was submitted to back up "malicious compliance."

Who needs evidence? You need to disprove it.

There, with that proof submitted, I'll admit I don't believe it. But that's why starting with a world view, in this case, "Trump is greedy and/or crooked" and then making every single event fit into it is bad. Trump is greedy, quite probably crooked, but that conspiracy still lacks a shred of proof. Let's apply that to all these conspiracies, not just the ones I make up.

No, China will export fewer goods to the U.S. The U.S. needs to either make more goods or get them from countries we trust more.

We're literally are fighting a proxy war with Russia who is backed by China. And then we have a monetary system that continues to strengthen China, which requires us to enlarge our military (take on more debt) in order to fight China. It's a really stupid system.
1 or 2 weeks we will see deals with Vietnam, South Korea, Japan

90 day pause in tarrifs.

Trump folded @dbmhoosier
He absolutely did not. China has always been the target. I've said on this board for years that China is the real threat to US security and to the world while you crazies keep harping about Russia which is a nothing burger. It's always been about reigning in China. Why do you think he wants the Panama Canal and Greenland?

These guys. Like Trump saying all these countries call him "sir" when they call. He must have worked sir in 3 times. I get embarrassed watching him talk. The guys in his administration this time around have zero balls.

Trump is operating in an echo chamber.
But it worked out….even if Bessent was bullshitting

We don't know that it worked out. Do you really trust Trump won't change his mind? There is still China to deal with. And the eroded trust with the US does not just go away

Having said all that, unlike Bailey I will be transparent in my trades. Against my better judgement I'm buying back in today for that portion of my portfolio I moved back in late February..

I was up $217,597 coming into today and buying back into my funds at a higher price at end of close will eat into that. Should have locked in gains in the 133k-140k range. Not bad in just shy of 1.5 months when all that was involved was a few clicks of the mouse.

I'm sure the Trump inner circle made out FAR better.

They need a narrative now since they realize the market is not going to crash as many of them had hoped. The lefty media was banking on the market crashing and they probably got many lefties to sell with their panic and fear. It has always been about China but let them pound their chests and think he caved they need something to cling too in all of this. It will be interesting to see what they pivot to now. Russian collusion maybe again?

I’m going to get as much product across the border in the next 90 days as humanly possible

Bailey has no trades. He’s obviously a paycheck to paycheck guy.
 
So the new narrative is we made a brilliant play by putting tariffs on almost everyone to teach China a lesson, and now we have cut it on everyone except China. So, how does this work? What did that solve that just putting tariffs only on China would not have solved? Seriously, what is the 360 dimension chess here? How did this outmaneuver China?

The text response I just got from a friend is that by tariffing everyone else, they came rushing to negotiate a deal ahead of China and China did not come to the table so now they’ll be left out.

🤷
 
What worked out?
Trump just implemented 10% tariffs on the entire world and 125% on China and the market popped 10%. He shifted the entire Overton window. The starting point for negotiations are now 10% tariffs and don't f#ck with China. All it cost him was a 7% drop in markets, which can quickly rebound as positive news comes in.

No recession is now bullish. Inflation lower is bullish. Shift focus to tax cuts, which is bullish. Every single trade agreement that is below 10% is now bullish for markets. If the goal was to ostracize China and Russia, from the rest of the world, he did a pretty good job. Now, the question will be is can he stop being a blow hard to our allies and strike deals.
 
Which would be good for China, right?

I’m trying to understand what bad position Trump goaded China into by threatening tariffs and then postponing them.
I don’t see anywhere that they postponed tariffs on China….where are you seeing this?

You two guys talking to each other reminds me of this...

Lol. OK, that answers my question. 👍 I see now that he paused tariffs only on countries that didn’t slap back. China is getting hit harder than ever evidently.

You can negotiate with anyone, it is making a deal that is hard. Recall when he had the meeting with Kin of North Korea in the first term, Trump was so certain something would come of it. Nothing did. So far, Russia/Ukraine have reached very modest deals that basically guarantees Ukraine will stop sinking Russian ships. We will see what real and concrete deals come out in 90 days.

We were always able to call the EU and deal. I don't know how China is ostercized by this, any stories of other nations piling on with anti-China tariffs?
