1. Popular?

That's a right wing talking point that is not true.

[Doodley]

12. I'm saying, if recession is avoided and he gets to brag about what a great negotiator (thinks) he is, and how great he

(thinks) he is with the economy, yes he will be likely be popular. That is a terrible thing.

2. There wasn't any recession threat until TSF (Steven Miller and the crew) started the tariffs crap.

13. There wasn't any recession until it became clear the shit show was back.

3. Create a problem ...... then brag about how you "fixed" it.

11. Took the words right out of my mouth

This is constant tactic of his administration

4. This wont do anything tp avoid a recession...

30% on goods and parts will still cause a large price hike accross the board.

Inflation will still rise.

Ports will still not back in full swing. Even amazon sales will still stumble.

Recession, and even depression, are still developing.

Ignore the stock market. It isnt real any longer, meanong it no longer reflects corporate performance. As long as trillions of dollars are in retirement plans and investment funds, risk wont be followed by lower prices.

5. And the 80 buck exemption

That many small companies relied on appears to still be in affect. Which is still a huge economic shift.

14. Deminimus was $800, but i think its gone...

That is what killed temu and aliexpress.

In addition to deminimus being gone, minimum per item tarris of $25 per item were slammed on.

So that $2 item is now $27.

6. Think that was plan all along if countries didn't roll over. Make a big splash, scare everyone, then declare

victory as we go back roughly to where we were before. trump is a master at that kind of BS.

7. Won't bring the 401k's back

[Ocelot II]

8. Don't be fooled. 30% on everything is still a huge tariff and it's still stupid and inflationary.

[Ol Janx Spirit]

9. But far too many Americans ARE fooled by this real-life Wizard of Oz act we are living through.

They will actually think this is a huge victory. When prices still go way up because of the 30% tariffs--which are actually higher since that 30% is only the newly added tariffs on top of what was already implemented; so more like 50%--they will be primed to believe it is China's fault; or the Dems fault; not The Wizard of Ooze... Democrats have got to learn how to message so much better than they have ever managed to do before to combat this nonsense.

10. China is in a deflationary depression.

The contagion will spread.
