The Trump tariffs

This seems true to me. I once read a fascinating book called "Poorly Made in China: An Insider's Account of the China Production Game." Looks like it was published in 2011 so it could be a little out of date now, but I think it still reflects the basic reality. One of the author's main points was that what the Chinese desperately want is American designs. They don't really design things themselves, just buy, steal, or reverse engineer Western designs, mainly American. As you point out, even if they did their own designs there would be limited worldwide demand for things that look Chinese in style.

Its a big problem, how is America going to control this interlectual copyright property theft? I think China should give up Taiwan to USA as reperations its only fair.

Certain important inventions that America discovered shouldnt be outsourced to China thats a very silly thing to do, notice how China doesnt come to America to build their new supercars, that information is private.

Trump is great here. Not looking at notes or a teleprompter, telling a reporter to "back up" and get out of his personal space, addressing a complex question about if he is intentionally tanking the market and then going off on China but not losing his train of thought and eventually circling back and answering the question, and telling a female reporter that her question is "stupid."

The frame is strong with this one. Love it. Not bad for a crypto jew ;).

Only had time to listen to about the first 3:00, but my impressions are:

- This all sounds great. I hope Trump and the people who are all in on him are right.
- He doesn't look orange at all here. Appears to have possibly lost weight too.
- He refers to America as a company before correcting himself and saying "country."

I increase speed to 2x. Sometimes more. At 6:00 he speaks about Europe. Which most concerns me.

He says Europe doesn´t take american cars.

The Tesla Model Y was the best-selling car in Europe in 2023, and was also the best-selling electric vehicle (EV) in Europe in 2024. Now its fourth. I said in another post. Anyone who associates with Trump will be burned by him. But he will pull through.

At 6:50 he says Europe needs to pay also for the past. This is jew talk. He could have just said reparations like a good goy.

He doesn´t mentions services:

"Total bilateral trade in services between the EU and the US was worth €746 billion in 2023. The EU exported €319 billion of services to the US, while importing €427 billion from the US; this resulted in a services trade deficit of €109 billion for the EU."

It´s known that for a long time it was considered (jew science) that developed nations should focus on services not products. Larger the services more evolved it was considered the country to be.

"The United States is the largest exporter of services in the world, and a large share of those services, from financial services to cloud computing, are delivered digitally. The country ran a trade surplus in services of nearly $300 billion last year."

US exports 1T in services each year.

This is the usual jewish usual greed usury.

Chinese travel to US to check Ralph Lauren designs and copy them. They do it against everybody. They steal and sell the stuff they stole to the owner.

US stock market is taking a beating. Thought jews would have mercy but nah. The wealth Trump is destroying is brutal. My strong guess is chinese will buy everything for pennies once the dust settles. This fight between US and EU will have no winners. Except China and jews.

According to French media, quoting multiple corporate leaders and company directors throughout France, the leadership of France’s biggest companies told Macron to ‘get stuffed’ following the French president’s demand to divest their interests from America.

President Macron ordered 50 of the largest companies with positions in the USA to attend an emergency economic meeting at Elysée Palace. As reported by French media, “Some of us fell out of our chairs,” confided one of the 50 or so French business leaders invited.”

“We are not in an administered economy,” thunders the leader of an employers’ movement.

And the CEO of a CAC 40 giant bluntly asserts:

“I don’t give a damn about what Macron says. We have operations in the United States. There is no question of abandoning them just like that. We must respect our commitments to our employees, our customers and our shareholders.

An opinion shared by a manager of a spirits producer:

“It is out of the question to stop investing in the United States, especially in the current economic slump.”

No, it isn't. Do you understand the interpretation of the Ignore vs Panic chart?

Under Biden Administration (2021-2024), IGNORE the stock market. Media doesn't want you to know the truth. Foreign countries and Globalists are laughing.

Under Trump Administration...
OMG! Trump's tariffs is crashing the stock market! He is an unfit President -- impeach him! *PANIC*

Nope. Even more fake. And gay.

People are panicking not because it’s Trump. Even though after corona they had all reasons to.

They are panicking cause Trump has no power, no impulse control and is a Jew puppet.

America is under jewish control. And they will suck dry and leave the corpse behind when they are done.

I’m waiting for an American Jewish president.

The church is to fault here for not speaking out. But until US loses its power nobody can talk about Jews. That’s the simple truth.

This is a known cycle. I’m not adding nothing new here. Jews were expelled from countless countries.

It won’t be sunshine and rainbows when jews are gone you lose economic power but gain morals. It’s a trade off.

S&P 500 is green. As I expected it to be. Something happened behind closed doors. And big cohencidence today Trump had the visit of US dearest ally. Jewland. What did Trump agreed to?
Did you see the clip of him pushing the chair?
Jews accept even tariffs in exchange of what? Where is the MSM attacking Trump?
Fed board also had a meeting.

This tariffs have nothing to do with little people. Maybe they are carving enemies and allies

Interesting..

What do you mean by green?

Who pushed what chair, and what is the significance of pushing a chair rather than sitting on it?

It means more people are buying stocks from a list of 500 companies (I think techs are the ones mostly represented) than selling.
I just checked again and after all its in red territory. Which means more people are selling than buying.
NASDAQ is still green.

Today I had a guess this would happen. It would open -5% and close around -2% and you could make 3 percent profit.

Something is happening behind closed doors and tomorrow or even today we will find out. Nikkei will probably end up like US stocks today. Tomorrow European stocks probably the same. And Wednesday things will get more clear. If Nikkei or Europe drops more than 2/3% tonight or tomorrow morning its because there’s big troubles ahead. And the drop will continue.
If Wednesday things stay neutral I stop reading about this nightmare.

I don’t study this things for academic debate. I make practical decisions based on them.

During corona prices increased 10-20%. There will probably be some lag between tariffs and price increase. Cause stores still have old prices inventories. But I would advise anyone to buy furniture do it now. Prices of furniture at least in the short term will increase. My foolish prediction.

All this crisis follows exactly corona lockstep. Breakdown of supply chain. Inflation. But at least we are not closed at home.

Trump pushing Netanyahu chair. He looks like a waiter. He does it for all politicians. But why? Nobody does that. Unless to women.
Netanyahu is there to negotiate death.
