Is it a level playing field? What's your metric?

The real question some of you need to ask yourself is what the hell happened that you can’t be happy the US now has a better deal with Vietnam than prior.

Biden does nothing - “everything is great!”

Trump imposes/threatens mass tariffs - “he’s a threat to democracy, the global economy will tank!”

Trump gets a better, more nuanced deal with Vietnam than prior - “I don’t like it!”

Great quote related to the BBB by Dan Turrentine who is a Dem political consultant.

“If Hakeem Jeffries floor speech delaying antics pleases the base, who demand we “fight” everything, then clearly we have further to fall. That was utterly pointless politically and substantively. Total beltway nonsense. Can we please have strategies and tactics that try to move the public or impact the debate?”

Don't worry about me. That leaves Trump at 1.45 deals in 90 days

It also leaves Trump with:

- record tariff revenue
- all time high stock market
- low inflation
- strong jobs market
- lots of complaints and what abouts from the TDS crowd

Record tariff revenue isn't necessarily a flex. It's a tax increase

I do applaud you trying to make chicken salad, tho

Record tariff revenue. Lol. As if any of us will ever see a dime of it. Why is MAGA always so happy to make rich guys richer while getting nothing in return?

Cucks for trump. "Tread on me harder, daddy!"

Another Friday of Trump tossing out tariff threats because he just can't get them deals done.

What a master negotiator

The point is HD the new tariffs already implemented in 2025 have had zero negative impact on the economy, including record tariff revenue, stock market, etc. Not to mention the stock market looks forward, not back. Lots of crying about the minutia vs focusing on the current kick ass results.

Thats the flex.

Who is getting rich off of tariff revenue? It’s goes into the Treasury.

Can you remind everybody why other countries have tariffed US goods for decades? You won’t, but that’s because you likely can’t.

You mean Plan B. And don't stop looking just yet. We're seeing the tariff related increases and uncertainty hurt small business while the big boys have been using whatever they have to mitigate.

Don't let this be your Mission Accomplished

So are you calling a market top and selling?

Either Trumps mean letters and tariff threats will tank the economy like has been insinuated multiple times in the thread and you should get out.

Or longer term the economy will be stronger and the arrow is pointing up.

Which is it?
