Tariff Man and his tariff plan cause market plunges

Green Mountain did a good job in laying out the rising monthly trend of tariff revenues.

Now you can go ahead and tell us how the tariffs are affecting inflation and the trade deficit. Why did you put quotemarks around the term trade deficit?

Won't see most of the gas powered SUV's out of Orion until 2027

I can do a lot of things

Ancient Chinese Secrets, Lusty. You do realize that revenues can increase while imports decrease, yes? Why you need to let that tea settle a bit before seeing omens from the revenue increase.

Bee Tee Dubs, do you happen to know which basket items are sampled monthly vs every other month? Tells me if you know how to even read the tea leaves

ah so now it's tea leaves. did you run out of breadcrumbs dude?


bahahahhaaaaa



btw where's that massive inflation you warned about due to Trump's trade tariffs?


hasn't happened. won't happen. didn't happen under Trump 1.0. did happen under Biden (COVID was a factor but helicoptering trillions was more the cause) so where's that data?

as usual aren't you jumping the gun here? a bit early for such things. once again too soon to calculate. one way or the other. but you knew that, right???


bahahhaaaaa

[HDGristle]

Yawn. I keep a can of breadcrumbs in my pocket and that article didn't calculate anything. It laid out that thus far, no real deals or trade barriers reduced.

Kinda understood that it's a snapshot in time of progress to date. Well, you didn't but most will

What's funny about these supposed deals is that they are all "only 2 weeks from being finalized". Well deals that don't get finished are just that... unfinished. We call it hanging paper, cause they are worthless. Again, broken promises: "These countries are missing my ass to make a deal".- yet none are finished.

Hmmm- me thinketh the president is full of sheet.

The UK hasn't signed off, China said we are way off and they denied even some of the meetings were taking place.

How can one tell when Donnie the house is lying???

His lips are moving. Why does this guy have such problems with the truth?

Maybe someone with an M1 Abram's or a Blackhawk will suddenly decide to ends this nonsense during the little babys parade?

That's the only way I'd be tuning in. He'd finally get the ratings he always brags about getting, but never does.

But not this. It's ok, my expectations for you went negative a long time ago.

Nothing secret about all of this, Gristle. And your point is... what exactly?

Yep, the merchandise trade numbers are bouncing around quite a bit these days. Too bad you don't know how to analyze any of it for all the other economic neophytes here. You do realize that when imports decrease, then (all else held constant) our massive trade deficit shrinks, yes?

You do realize that when tariff revenues increase, then (all else held constant) our enormous federal budget deficit, and thus the US Treasury's need to keep borrowing, diminish too?

Who said anything about "omens"? Let's just say the trajectory is worth noting.

Speak English, please? No idea what your question is. But if you already know the answer, why ask it in the first place? Oh that's right, you only ask questions to see if anyone else is as smart as you think you are.

Stick around, Gristle, I'm not done with you. You still haven't explained why you put quotemarks around the term "trade deficit" in your post #638. Do you think the deficit isn't real?

Keep it up, eye. If you hear a knock at the door, it's probably the US Secret Service.

[HDGristle]

ACS was the answer to your "trade deficit" question.

[HDGristle]

Very, very interesting

Sorry to hear you have acute coronary syndrome, but you're off-topic.

What does your ACS have to do with your adding quotemarks around the term "trade deficit"?
