It also forces farmers to sell more of their products here in the U.S., to bring grocery prices way down. We’ve already seen this with eggs.
The absolutely stupid thing about this particular statement is that egg imports had risen to meet demand which was forcing egg prices back down. The tariffs are going to completely reverse that.
Also, plus, too we're doing next to nothing about Bird Flu that's killing the egg laying chickens and causing the shortage.
Also we don't have any day laborers to plant and pick our crops this year beacuse they are all too scared/deported for the US to produce enough food for ourselves.
The MAGA fucks will drink this new batch of Orange Kool-Aid, mixed with Russian vodka.
I wish they would all drink the Jonestown kool aid
Flavor-aid actually, but in this case who cares so long as the solution is the same.
Millions of Americans voted with the delusion "Trump really cares about me"
The wealthiest 10% of Americans own 93% of the stocks. I'm glad to hear they're hurting and not anyone else.
Trump is doing by accident things I'd never hoped to see in my life: The end of American hegemony, unification of Europe, the fall of the petrodollar, the elimination of the fake wealth on Wall Street.
But I can't stand the motherfucker.

Except when equities plunge it drives up borrowing costs. That impedes how businesses maintain and expand their enterprises, which puts downward pressure on employment and wages.
We're also seeing a crash in commodities prices - particularly US exports - and energy demand, which is gearing up to wreck the O&G, automotive, and agricultural sectors.
It's bad bad bad for everyone. A totally unforced error by Trump that will have huge negative downstream reprecussions for us all.

Maybe. The US has been written off a few times before this and rebounded. And there's no real reason to believe the current EU will be any less xenophobic, imperialist, or wreckless and wasteful as their American peers, given that they've been drinking as hard from the fascist well as the rest of us.
We'll see what comes of it all. Maybe America will go quietly off into the graveyard of empires and swallow a bullet. Or maybe we're come roaring back for one last nightmarish global thermonuclear Holocaust because we just can't stand not being the center of attention.
Either way I’m good. Animals have had a good run. Time for the fungi to take over.
They *control the stocks through their brokerages.
Your parents own the stocks.
That's hard to buy for nearly any given politician, but especially donvict - that's next-level delusion.
It's so obvious to anyone that looks at his actual actions through his life that he cares about no one but himself.
Millions voted to fuck boomers and their 401ks
Lots of new housing will free up
About time
It's a win win
Housing won't free up. Black Rock, Morgan and others are buying up all the middle class housing so they can jack up the prices out of reach of most, forcing them to remain renters, then doubling the rents. Thats why housing costs are now more than 50% of income these days.
Democrats have tried to push legislation banning these companies from buying mass amounts of housing, but the Nazis fully support it. Tent cities will be regular thing by the next "election."
If people understood how the stock market worked they wouldn't be dumb enough to vote for Trump.
GOP presidents do this every time. Crash the market and the oligarchs buy it up for pennis on the dollar.
Yeah those bastards should let all of us buy stock with penis.
If that is the case I guess I am getting shorted.
😂 I'm leaving it as it is, somehow still correct
“The president isn’t a number-crunching guy, per se, but President Trump strongly demanded big numbers that would make other countries treat us fairly. And I think you can see today that those numbers are huge,”
HAHAHAHA
Republicans are such idiots that they would mistake huffing paint as a sign of genius.
The Narcissist's Prayer
That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.
Oh, cool! If he meant to do it then nothing is wrong.
The KISS principle applies here, keep it simple. There is no plan, there is only Trump saying “I win”. He’s just declaring victory in the face of disaster as usual
That should be illegal
Fret not, says the president, he is apparently playing chess while the world is playing checkers
He's trying to treat the entire country like one of the casinos he bankrupted to screw over his creditors.
I'm sure he thinks he's playing chess. But what he's really doing is sitting in the corner eating the pieces.
If the world is playing checkers, then you’re an idiot for playing the wrong game.
NFL has it coming. They denied him once and he may or may not never forget.
Then if thats the case, this seems like a national security threat. Destabilizing the country through financial terrorism seems pretty felonious.
Convenient that he's immune from the law so long as he's in office (and apparently also when he's not).
