    NEW: Aluminum producer Alcoa said on Tuesday that Donald Trump’s plan to impose a tariff on aluminum imports could cost about 100,000 US jobs and would itself not be enough to entice it to boost production in the country.

    The tariff is set to take effect March 4.

    Reporter: “Tariffs are paid eventually by American importers and consumers…”

    Donald Trump: “No they’re not. I think they are paid for by the country.”

    A Federal Reserve bank is now projecting that the US economy will shrink by 2.8% during the first quarter of 2025.

    This is a major decline from when President Biden left office, when the economy was projected to grow by 3%.

    Trump has announced that he will be using taxpayer money to create a “Crypto Reserve” that buys BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, and ADA.

    Trump's “crypto czar” David Sacks is coincidentally a major investor in these 5 coins.

    Premier of Ontario, Doug Ford, issues a straightforward threat to the USA:

    “I talked to the governor of Kentucky, he said don’t touch our bourbon.

    I’m coming after everything.

    We keep the lights on for 1.5 million homes. If he wants to destroy our economy and our families, I’ll shut them off.

    I’m telling you, we will do it”.

    WSJ:  dumbest move ever. "We’ve courted Mr. Trump’s ire by calling the Mexico and Canada levies the “dumbest” in history, and we may have understated the point. Mr. Trump is whacking friends, not adversaries. His taxes will hit every cross-border transaction, and the North American vehicle market is so interconnected that some cars cross a border as many as eight times as they’re assembled.

    So I talked to a guy in our office about the tarifs.  He is all for them.  He claims that it will bring jobs back to the USA.  Not sure how that will happen in 4 years?  A plant starting from new will take most likely 4 years to build.  Its a good idea in theory but not sure the American people want to suffer for 4 years to make it happen.

    During Trumps first term he did mention why doesn't America make these things and why we rely on other countries?  He had a point, not sure this is the way to go about it though.

    If a car being made goes across the border 8 times to be built i'll say that's wasting steps and inefficient though.

    I disagree.  I believe that cash will be king and people and corporations strapped with it will buy up even more properties.

    Rich get richer in the long run again.

    Commerce Secretary Lutnick attempts to dodge questions about how Trump's tariffs will increase a U.S.-manufactured SUV by $8,000, seemingly forgetting that Trump originally signed the USMCA which opened trade with Canada and Mexico.

    These are not serious people.

    Not sure but he def thinks the firings are good and claims to have a friend that works for the DEP and creates false scenarios to get work..  I told him that they should be in prison if it's true.

    It's just funny to me to hear trump talk about how great tariffs are but he's doing everything he can to reverse what he's done.

    He's doing everything he can to get some concession from Canada and Mexico to support his victory.
