Trump shitting his diaper again

Is America really in such dire straits that Trump has to try to bully his way through with tariffs?
I think what many forget is that trade is a mutually beneficial agreement. If there are trade deficits, it just means that one party is buying more from the other party. And it also means that the buyer has money to spend - sure it may be fuelled by credit, but how is that the other party's fault?

By the way, watch him blink as the bond market begins to implode yet again.
I just don't get this strategy I guess. This is going to be a terrific way to slow down the world economy, by pulling the handbrake every 2 seconds this orange faggot gets pissy. I presume he is bluffing and he just wants the EU to go along with more favourable deals with the US.

Either way. The orange faggot always blinks so my strategy as the stock market will dip, is to buy more, and more stock.
PS: without really knowing all the facts here, I'm pretty sure most of the arguments he lists are made up or for good reason.

who gives a fuck what this moron says nowadays? Its going to be like one day of tariffs before he flops again

lol said the scorpion. lmao

Trump is mad that the EU won't lift sanctions against Russia. Trump wants to lift all sanctions against Russia because his daddy Putin told him to meanwhile the EU is only imposing more and more stricter sanctions against Russia

lalalala, (directly or otherwise)tariffing the US is fun and fine

NOOOOOOO, YOU CAN'T DO IT BACK TO US ITS BULLYING REEEEE

Sucks your IKEA stocks are gonna plummet, kek

Trump posting walls of text

who gives a fuck what this moron says nowadays?

Yeah I really dont, but at the same time Im not in love with the concept of a long term global slowdown or recession, especially not the sort that is self imposed on a whim by someone financially illiterate.

Trump is mad that the EU won't lift sanctions against Russia.

Im not in love with Trump, I favoured him over Kamala because im tired of woke DEI shit globally, but not even I believe this russia stuff

Ikea isnt publicly traded, silly muttnigger. And only in american stocks

The flow of capitial from the EU to the US already reversed. Reports from early 2025 show a notable trend of US capital fleeing to Europe. In the first quarter of 2025, US investors reportedly poured $10.6 billion into European exchange-traded funds (ETFs), seven times more than the same period in 2024.

TL;DR the US is preddy much snoggered anyway.

250mil is nothing - so we basically trade evenly or not at all...

And I am only in american stocks* == profit from the orange niggers low IQ whims

recommending

Not ordering? What's iwth that language?

you can't keep parroting disproven narratives and not get laughed at. We all know, for a fact, that the tariffs are based on trade deficits and have nothing to do with tariffs.

What on earth do you have that we would want? Virgina oaks for ship building?

nooooo buy my goyslop this isnt fair

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Captain Sweden being a humongous faggot again

reddit, the post

Time to flip the stocks again, huh. Just sold all my EU based stocks, will buy back in once the tard calms down.

Trump is just the chicken's body running around after the head was chopped off. Biden was the head being chopped off. The US is dying and there is no way to stop it.

Why are russians so affraid of reddit? Something wrong with your methodichka?

Shut the fuck up nigger we are taking Greenland and Iceland to collateralize a new currency and there's literally nothing you yuroFAGGOTS can do about it. Enjoy getting invaded by Russia. Not my problem btw. Nigger!

oh thank god, i was afraid that he folded to china too quickly and all of this would end in nothing. this pretty much guarantees that the EU will get closer to China and move away from the US. great!

It does not matter for the EU, since they want to replace the United States with China. I agree, ignore everything he says and ignore the tariffs since they are not going to hurt you at all, China will be your new market.

Europoor Tranny big mad

lmao like moths to a flame...they are fucked...

Kek. 50% on the biggest trading partner. Ok lets see how long it lasts this time then.

He puts tariffs because america has buying power. All his tantrum is based backed by jewish money printer. Let that sink in

Drumpf is schizoposting again

Who the fuck is Brussels?

POO

huawei phone 100$

goykikephone 3k$

Guess which one im using

What does the EU even export other than browns to the UK?

$250,000,000 is 250 million. Did Trump just fail basic math?

Nooo wtf I want the yuros to smugly repeat our (boomers) mistakes.

Somebody forgot to give him his medication today?
I do find it noteworthy that he is using the word "recommend". Seems like he is actually no longer in charge of policy (persumably since the people around him finally recognized he is dement or retarded but most likely both).
But in the end it does not matter. It is clear that the US can not be counted on to be an ally of the EU. That was probably the situation all along but it is now undeniable. This means that EU will focus less on the USA. This will be most noticable in the defense spending but in the longer term I expect the EU to develop alternatives to microsoft & apple systems.

Is America really in such dire straits

Yes. Have you seen our national debt recently?

You're proving me point.. the EU will be very happy with China.

$250 million

for an entire trading block

this is a problem somehow

what a retard

he is not in charge, tariffs need to be imposed by the congress. he declared an "economic emergency" to grant himself the power to set temporary tariffs, but that's not going to last forever.

The old world with all that government should be able to solve their own problems.
We don’t need you

America's trade deficit is mostly because of two things:
1-High budget deficit
2-Dollar as a reserve currency ( thus it's harder to devaluate)

Trump can fix the number 1 but he is not going to. It would require austerity measures. And the bill the House passed actually increases the deficit.

Whait what happens to US debt as the US government loses its ability to export debt via the petro-dollar!

Part of the reason for the tariffs is also to try to force a reduction in the interest rate.
The problem is that if Trump is not careful, the dollar could lose part of its safe haven status. That is one of the reasons yields haven't gone down.

Money printer is dying. He wants to buy some manufacturing before its completely ash

China will eat Europe's industry alive. Europe seems to think China will buy their goods (that they already buy) and not get absolutely flooded with Chinas. They have an entire car industry they are looking to offload on some poor sucker. Euros about to get Boomered V2.

Wdym no tariffs, literally the only time I pay import tax is when I buy something from the US. Any other country I pay nothing. Pretty stupid

Anon, you are literally cheering for getting taxed with 50%. Why?

All this fat degenerate does is cry on social media like a fat chick

He is just a social media boomer who thinks of himself as an expert on eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeverything.

My brother was just talking to a logger about red oak trees and they are getting more money from railroad companies (for ties) than sending them overseas (i'm assuming china) because of tariffs.

Meh.
Not impressed after trump cucked out against chinks.

All that brand prestige and vaunted goy accolades are meaningless now all because the inflation is out of hand.
Drumpf sitting on his 10b golden toilet doesnt compute that goyims have literally 0 moneys.
Chinks should go all in and flood the entire world with their cheap goods while the united states of venezuela prints zimbabwebixnood papers

the west is actually a tiny part of the market and usa makes nothing so its a short term setback at most

Probably. But the thing with trade that americans don't seem to understand is that a trade is mutually beneficial (otherwise either the buyer or the seller will not want to trade). This goes for international trade as well and a trade deficit is not something advantageous or disadvantegous, it is just one item on the balancesheet and it tells you nothing about profit or loss.
Google "comparative advantage trade" if you want to understand this. But having seen the comments of americans here I think americans see international trade as a zero-sum-game and are not able to understand it is not (try to think of it as if you were buying some sneakers: do you lose with your buy? Does the seller lose with his sale? Is the situation different if the seller is just across the border?).

The US has debt. Amazing beautiful mountains of it. None of which will be paid back.

Why does orange retard give a shit about america so much? literally a dogshit country that should be collapsing.

trade imbalance on services

:|

trade imbalance on goods

:O

why is he like this

Would be funny is europe tariffed hollywood as it is already in death throes and that would probably be a killing blow

Because he does not understand economics. He thinks that VAT is a tarif and that a trade deficit means you are losing on a trade relationship (I guess he thinks that since dollars are leaving the US he is losing money, failing to understand the US is basically getting goods for free since the dollars sent abroad are just printed paper and the US will likley never have to deliver goods or services against those dollars - until the USD loses reserve status that is, something he that he actually may achieve)

I think he meant billions, not millions. Lol.

ok swedistan
have any more foxtrot gang shootings on the menu?

this is really foolish and stupid. You sound like one of those people who thought oil was over and done with just because Biden won/cheated in 2021 and you go all in on green energy.

Facts:
-The US is at the epicenter of the global financial system.
-The US has the deepest and most liquid bond markets, also what is considered historically to be the "safest" in terms of not defaulting.
-The US won the culture war.
-The US won the "world wars" (not really but partially, whatever).
-Deep ties between US and Europe still remain, and strategical alliances still remain like Nato.
-China is disliked by almost all of Europe

To think that the EU is going to open up exclusively to Chinese markets and vice versa in this kind of way is dumb. This was just a short term blip where China and the EU found themselves on the same side of the fence, united in that tariffs are bad for global trade - which they are.

China also actively funds Russia in the Ukraine war, and the north koreans. So, lets not pretend that all of this is just smooth sailing and the EU and China becoming friendly. Thats not going to happen.

I bet you're a boomer. Dont be so sure of your views. These things dont change overnight, or even over a decade.
This is not bound to change.

low iq fat fuck, lol. Americans are the most fun to troll, but you people really got shit for brains and lack all creativity or critical thinking

That's what I was talking about. You're saying it has to be beneficial or the buyer and seller wont trade. But Europe is looking to replace US (buyer) with China (seller). China can already get anything it needs from Europe. China is an export economy. They want to sell you things, not buy them. Anything they have to buy will get copied and sold back to you undercutting your market until their investors come in and buy you out.

Not even I believe this russia shit

So how do you fit literally all of his desicions regarding the balkans in general benefitting Russia in some way or form?

I think that Trump realizes that Russia cant be run over which some of the puny european nations believe, acting all tough with females and homos running the military forces here.

And I think that ultimately, Trump (or the Washington establishment more precicely) dont really care. They reached their end goal. Which was to game Ukraine with their own puppets through the CIA, and when the country is in shambles you buy up extremely valuable soil for pennies on the dollar. Monsanto and Jp Morgan, I have heard have both made a killing from this.

And now, we resume relations, Ukraine is a rump state, Russia got weakened which was good because all of a sudden they could topple Syria which has been a strategic goal for decades. And now things resume as they were.

Ukraine will probably be a lot more prosperous in 20 years time, and probably will return to a functioning society, as the american firms who land grabbed the country enjoy a nice fat margin.

I dont believe its productive to speculate about Trump and Putin being buddies and all of this stuff. Thats drivel to me and just sounds more of this grand lie that came from Hillary Clinton and Comey back in 2016 after she lost.

TL;DR : The US doesnt give a fuck about the EU. And good, they shouldnt. Im from the EU and I dont give a fuck about the EU. Lmfao.

Do you really think wooden rail road ties will offset a 50% tax on goods YOU now have to pay on goods?
And yes, it is a tax, calling it tariff does not change that.

BTW - rich people spend much more on services than on goods and serices are not tariff-taxed.
You eat a frugal of meal of pasta at home: your table, your chairs, your plates your canadian wheat for the pasta is taxed.
A rich person eats at a restaurant - nothing there is tariffed, because it is all services.

he just wants the EU to go along with more favorable deals with the US

The EU proposed to remove any and all tariffs from the USA and to buy more weapons from the USA in an attempt to stop the USA from imposing tariffs on EU. Trump's then shat his pants again by claiming the EU had to pay a monetary tribute with the USA to continue trading.

This is the same senile retard that the Japanese couldn't make a deal with. You know the Japanese, the guys that have always backed the USA even after they nuked them twice and destroyed their economy to make China stronger.

trade is mutually beneficial

Orange retard is convinced that trading means the other country is taking away money from the USA. He's convinced that other countries using US dollar to trade makes the US dollar weakly.

That's why there won't be any real, productive negotiation. Trump has a backwards understanding of how trade works.

This is MAGA world now, loser! Plus, many stupid Europeans have proven to be anti-Semites. As an American who saved their asses in WW2, it's intolerable that these leeches don't unconditionally support the beautiful country of Israel.

I share your sentiment. I just find his policy on trade this time around to be completely delusional and chaotic for a lack of better word.

If it is a recession that he wants, then that is what he will get I suppose .. ? Already the leading indicators of US GDP are weak but they were recovering from his past autism-outbreak on the world stage. But I guess he isn't done yet.

With that said, I really do think he will blink before anything happens. Like someone mentioned before here, the word "recommend" being used really sounds like he is trying to force the EU to the table without actually having a stick to wave around this time.

The first of June is when he otherwise would like a 50% flat rate tariff on the EU. I guess the EU and the US will have to decide on a trade deal in less than 1 week then, lol. These take years usually but maybe he'll get some concession from the EU in 7 days. Who knows honestly.

What you're missing is that the USA and the US dollar became strong due to international trade. A strong US dollar allowed the USA to become the consumerist country it is.

If the entire world begins to trade with China and use the Yuan instead, then China will too become a consumerist based economy, the value of the Yuan will skyrocket and the average Chinese will have living conditions comparable to the ones Americans have now.

This has happened over and over again throughout history whenever a country's currency is used for international trade. But Trump and the idiots that follow him believe America's economy is strong just because it's America and that foreign trade means other countries are draining their riches.

Basically Trump's understanding of international trade is that America is Richie Rich and the rest of the world are the kids on the block taking away comically oversized bags with "$" symbols whenever he isn't looking.

pretty sure the US-Europe trade imbalance is more than $250M/yr, prolly $250B

Why is the party of small taxes raising taxes?

He wants the EU to import more from the US than they export (ignoring that the EU already does that if you count services and American companies operating in the EU) and he doesn't fully understand VAT, thinking that VAT only applies to American goods.

It's not possible to negotiate with that. It's like trying to convince a schizophrenic in the midst of psychosis that the devil isn't living behind the walls.

It doesn't help that this is personal for Trump. He still hasn't gotten over the fact that a bunch of German politicians laughed at him.

Did you lose your brain before you gobbled the failing Russian mans seed? Do you think restaurants mysteriously generate food from the ether?

Why are memeflags allowed?

USA and the US dollar became strong while the US was a manufacturing powerhouse pre/post WW2. Both of them have grown significantly weaker in line with manufacturing leaving the country (and other browner reasons). To the point that the nation we offloaded our manufacturing to has become our peer-rival and the USD is glorified monopoly money held together by hopes and dreams. Taking the yuan as reserve currency would put China in a better position but they would still have to give up their manufacturing. That might happen eventually as they grow fatter and lazier but it won't replace the US market for a very long time.

Congress is majority Republican and the entire party is his bitch. They will follow him to the bitter end, so this will continue until midterms at the earliest. By then, Rs will have fully disenfranchised anyone who could vote them out.

After WWI there was the Great Depression. The big leap came after WWII because:

Europe was completely destroyed by the war and civil wars breaking all over the continent

Asia was still a feudalistic shithole

Latin America hadn't gotten their shit together (and still haven't)

Africa and Oceania were as irrelevant as they're today

Russia was a State dictatorship

the Middle East was full of Muslims

America was the only place to manufacture and grow. Entrepreneurs and scientists from all over the world flooded the USA and every country began to rely on the US dollar because it was the only stable currency left.

Then you threw it all away because you were afraid that Toyota was making better cars than Ford so you destroyed Japan's economy and moved manufacturing to China. But China was so cheap they completely fucked you over.

The problem is that Trump is a direct result of all the failed economic policies. He is not going to impose any real monetary policy reforms or fuck with banks, he's merely trying to bully other countries into buying more US shit and increasing American's taxes.

He never counts licenses and services the cheeky fucker, but I do think his antics are growing old now.
