The markets are LOVING these tariffs

After 2 straight years of 25+% gains I expected a falloff, but I didn't expect to lose 6 figures from my 401K in a week.
Trump promised to be a disaster, for anyone paying attention, and now he's over-delivering disasters.

Other than the border, he's managed to fvck up everything in just seven weeks.
Like nobody's ever seen before.
Easy there Francis. The markets have dropped (checks notes) back to where they were prior to the election.
Get ready for higher prices/rising inflation thanks to the Trump Tariffs, snarktakes.
No, because we are heading to a recession. Maybe the goal of the evil genius is lower rates.
Trudeau lighting Trump up.
No, they'll just raise prices.
I’m making a run to Canada for Crown Royal and Molson.
Place your orders.
A market to be served. Profit to be made.
It is different, but everyone uses the words like they aren’t different. If Bulky buys 100 dollars worth of goods. Those same basket of goods increase to 110 because of tariffs. Bulky doesn’t get create 10 new dollars and continue buying the same amount of goods. Since, Bulky can’t create his own money, he will forced to consume less goods. Prices rise in some goods, but they’ll decrease in other goods as consumers are forced to cut back. Tariffs end up being disinflationary long term, because increasing taxes hurts growth.
An extreme example and assuming M2 didn’t increase. If the U.S. raised all taxes on businesses 200% over night would it be disinflationary or inflationary long term?
Yes a global depression will cure inflation. It'll be great.
Inflation or rising prices...do you think the distinction matters to all those lower income families some on this board were championing for the last four years? I mean, I bet they would understand if we explain that we are fighting Biden's inflation with Trump's higher prices due to tariffs. Let's ask them in a couple of months.
Maybe you can get a paper route or give rickshaw rides with your big wheel…
Please link to even one real economist who agrees with you. I'll wait...
Economies love stability. This "we must overturn the applecart, disassemble it, burn it, scatter the ashes to the wind" probably isn't stability. So it isn't surprising some aspects of the economy isn't going well.
But here's the kicker, who wants to bet if there will be a stimulus if the economy tanks?

At which point all hope will be lost replaced one stupid administration with another
Good thing you don't own any stocks!! You are all good. Lots of great buying opportunities for lots of us.
I can’t decide if I believe Trump is smart enough to crash the stock market so he and his ilk can buy everything up. I can easily believe he’s malicious and greedy enough to. Smart enough? That’s a tough question.
The world is going to end. You should go to costco tonight and stock up on your survival supplies
Crime and border were most important to me. Let’s see what happens
Prices seem to be forgotten real quick.
Biden fckd that. Companies won’t lower them. We’ve been conditioned. Trump just lied he’d bring them down
"It has to get worse before it gets better."
This is what Musk (and Trump?) said prior to the election and I assume this will be their slogan for four years. And.... most of their base will take their word for it.
And I agree with the stimulus. If anything, it gives them a reason to lower rates and declare that as a victory.
They are like government budgets…they never decrease.
We spent the last four years learning that stimulus contributed to inflation. Can’t remember which ignored dumbass kept posting that article. Their posts all look alike after a while. Anyway, what’s the over/under on posts from MAGAts complaining about stimulus when a fresh batch of Trump-signed checks go out?
