Come on man he just needs to run that racket 3 or 4 more times and then he’ll implement the tariffs for sure. His cronies need the money.If tariffs are going to make us all rich then why does he keep delaying them and then toggling them on and off?
It's almost like Trump is just making shit up![]()
“Just making shit up.” I’d say that hits the nail on the head.If tariffs are going to make us all rich then why does he keep delaying them and then toggling them on and off?

Shut up about your 401ks
Old Orchard Beach in Maine (south of Portland) has been popular with Canadians for decades. It might be majority Canadian in July-September. It might suffer this summer.incidental and not backed by research, but local Halifax reddit has 2-3 posts a day I'd say asking for local recommendations for sightseeing after the poster cancelled their US trip instead to vacation within Canada. Multiply that by all places in Canada and the fact that most people do not post on reddit and I am guessing there is going to be some US tourism slump showing up in the indicators down the road.

Rand Paul is a total asshole and clown himself, imo. And we all know that when push comes to shove neither he nor any other Senate Republican is going to do shit to seriously stop or even slow down Trump 2.0 & Elon & DOGE. No sympathy for him at all, and his complaints at this point are worthless.Kiss my ass! Mr. Way Too Old to Mousse Your Hair As Much As You Do!
You voted for this shit! Not once….at least 3 times.
I take this back. I am not sure there is anyone in the WH with enough foresight for planning.It seems pretty clear the goal here is to slow down the economy, create volatility and uncertainty in the market, and increase unemployment which would lead to lowered interest rates and a slowdown of inflation. Tariffs can off set some of the tax cuts which would then be passed on as cost to consumers, but consumers will have less capital so there will be downward pressure on commodity prices regardless of tariffs.
If you are very wealthy - this scenario gives you the opportunity to buy into lower valuations in the securities markets and real estate markets (the net result of a significant economic slowdown). You will have lower interest rates to borrow capital for your businesses and lower interest rates to leverage for further asset purchases. And you will have an easier time finding labor for your businesses.
It almost seems like this is the plan - the only argument against this being "the plan" is that it's hard to imagine Trump or anyone in his orbit having this amount of economic foresight and planning.
It seems pretty obvious this is a recipe for disaster for everyone who isn't incredibly wealthy.
