Trump imposes tariffs for a bullshit reasons
Mexico and Canada retaliate.
Markets drop, not surprisingly.
Trump talks to Mexico and Canada.
Trump then announces he won.
Nothing changes.
Tariffs dropped. 

Juggler and Co.  lose their proverbial marbles all weekend over nothing.  As usual. 

When you say "Co", you must mean all those morons that run the WSJ, Canada, Mexico, the fund managers, traders, etc.  Only you and other MAGA savants knew he was going to fail to keep his campaign promise while everyone else was fleeing to gold, the dollar, bonds and other protectionist assets.  Tell us more about how smart you are on the topic, and how dumb the rest of the business world is.  

Anyone who bought his bluff is dumber than a rock.  

Wait, so you're saying he never had any intention of going through with it?  That his threats are empty?  That's a really curious stand to take in this situation.  I think maybe you should re-think that argument.

I quit responding to that person. Self important expert on everything with, in the words of Soundgarden, nothing to say.

He's going thread to thread posting the same thing....he's just looking for a rise

Nothing like joining a Pearl Jam message board in 2024 to spew maga talking points. God love 'em!

I guess I have a long way to go to join the 40k Club.... 

Not at your current pace.

I personally never believed him.  But you do you, mrussel.  The fact that anyone still believes a single word that comes out of his mouth is mind boggling honestly.  But you all believe it, day in and day out.

nothing quite like a monday morning quarterback who thinks he's the smartest guy in the room. 

Are you looking in the mirror as you type this?  

well when you're as gorgeous as I am, you always have a mirror handy. the fact that I may have been looking at myself while typing that is mere coincidence, however.

Guys, its important to remember Battle doesn't like Donald Trump at all. But he also hates liberals more.

It doesn't matter if I believe him or you believe him.  It matters if the market, equity traders and world leaders believe him.  And they did.  And so did all of the members of the GOP that defended on tv yesterday.  I guess everyone is dumb, even those in his own party, except...you?

The reason I see it as plausible and that I don't think this is over, is that I believe he has a vision to eliminate the federal income tax.  To do that, you have to have a tariff based economy.  Now the economics don't work today like they did in 1890, but I don't think he has the patience to understand that.  The very wealthy have had a dream of a flat tax for 30 years.  The only thing better than a flat tax is no tax.

so I guess we weren't supposed to believe trump when he said all the EO's he was going to sign, and then followed through on them?

And none of his threats should be considered empty because if he gets called on one he will double down no matter how stupid it was. And the GOP lemmings will all back him up.

The anti-anti-trumper has always been a curious and sad thing, but mostly just sad.

Thats where we differ, among many other areas. I take all of his threats as empty until it actually happens. I cannot fathom why anyone would do otherwise.
