And now Trump caved. Damn it!

Yes, after hours trading is a thing.

Is it right? No. it cuts out the little guy, and how many manipulate the market  in secret, in the process of getting rich(er).

Forgetting the thread about the market dropping, saw this today.. i
thought the markets were closed on weekends? How does this work?

 

"Dow futures fall 1,500 points Sunday as Trump tariff market rout
escalates" ( and others dropped as well according to that story )

I always wondered that, too. My best guess is that even though trades are executing, people are still entering or changing orders, so what they're tracking is the bid and ask movement. Same way markets can gap at the open.

Regardless of my personal feelings about tariffs, or being a bully, this will make him appear weak to the world. "push back hard, he will back down" is the message being sent here.

"President Donald Trump signaled Tuesday evening from the Oval Office that the U.S. will ease tariffs on China, saying they’ll “come down substantially” but won’t be eliminated entirely."

He only knows how to be a bully.  I hope it blows up in his face. And yes i understand the consequences.

Mr. Trump knows how to negotiate, particularly with people from other cultures (like Asia for example). Unless we hit another Great Depression I'm going to trust that he knows what he's doing.

THe whole point of the tariffs is that others are tariffing the US and it's time to stop let the abuse flow in only one direction. The objective is to bring the tariffs down (preferably to zero) bilaterally.

Will it work? I'm not an economist. I'm not even as insightful on economics as LoanShark. But the objective seems pretty clear to me. It's got to be better than just giving away the farm the way others have.

The bruised knee for jerking gets bigger each cycle? 

Trump says he will not drop tariffs to get China to negotiating table

Good.

Crude oil down to under $57.

100% tariff proposed for off-shore movies/TV shows.

What is next, books? 

Data traffic?

Knowledge? 

Bessent: "We Don’t Want Total Decoupling from China"

Fuck you Bessent.

We NEED to decouple from China!

I'm hoping this is just another example of Trump's cabinet members talking out of their asses. I don't know why Trump puts up with that.

People who claim tariff-supporters are RINOs must have Abraham Lincoln rolling in his grave.

Pennies are now gone ( well, from production, not existence ).  Now retailers are mandated to round up prices to the next nickle.

Nickels are next ( next year? ). And will be the same mandate here: round up. 

I realize its only a few cents ( can we still say that? ) but its the principle, government incrementally forcing price increases. It all adds up, quickly.

A federal court has decided to undo Trump's tariffs. Stupid faggots. Trump campaigned on tariffs and we the people voted for them. Screw these pompous courts!

So now the shoe is on the other foot and your guy cant act like a king, so you are upset.

No president is a king, i don't care what side of the isle they are on and if i agree with them 100% or disagree with them 100%. I am not a hypocrite if they cross the line, they should be beat down by both the courts and legislature.  Its why we have 3 branches, to keep each other in check.   ( at least in theory, i do realize that it does not always work that way in reality )
