Trump tariff thread

Tough language from JPMorgan tonight:

 

“.. we view the full implementation of these policies as a substantial macro economic shock not currently incorporated in our forecasts. .. these policies, if sustained, would likely push the US and global economy into recession this year.”

It's really hard to fathom the level of retardation that is required to vote someone in based on reacting to high (but falling) inflation, and then supporting this idiot as he goes about implementing

It isn't difficult; they are just that stupid...

Also, can we just laugh at the absurdity of Trump claiming to be some master deal-maker and then revealing that the primary tool in his tool-kit is threatening his allies with economic violence? Are w

Other than obviously being bad for the global economy as a whole - there is probably no better way than this to initiate a global recession - it isn't all bad news.

 

There will inevitably be some countries and industry combinations who will benefit, due to the variable tariffs applied. Some countries will now find themselves in superior positions compared to their competitors, even if it is possibly short lived or unstable. Trump has effectively picked up every piece on the global economy board and thrown them into the air at once, and some will land well in good spots.

This simply took a Wikipedia trade deficit list and copied it in. There's no intent beyond incompetence and lack of due care.
