Not quite sure how this qualfies exactly as WINNING.

Yeah. This guy is on the ball. Trump is going to invoke emergency powers due to a recession. Why didn’t he do it during Covid?

Part of this tariff decision is a declaration of a national economic emergency. He's already done it. Trump is using the National Emergencies Act and IEEPA to bypass Congress.

He's declared more than one national emergency. Trump also used the IEEPA to employ the Alien Enemy Act, that is where the rounding up individuals would take place. But as were discussing earlier new camps haven't been necessary because Trump has been using state and ICE facilities in Louisiana and Texas.

As for this, yes tariffs have always existed. They were a primary cause of the American Revolution and directly led to depressions in the 1890s and of course 1929.

If Biden hadn't been such a sh*tshow and created all these emergencies, Trump wouldn't have had to declare them to try to fix them.

Trump's tariffs will translate into a 2.3 percentage point increase to overall inflation this year, according to new estimates from the Yale Budget Lab — or about a $3,800 impact for the average household.

NYC hotel manager has something to say - but what’s the point of negotiating a trade deal with the US. Trump has already broken the trade deals with Canada & Mexico that he himself negotiated personally. The US has simultaneously broken scores of treaties & trade agreements unilaterally. No one wants to be negotiating with us. They’ll just deal with China & Europe.

I don't mind inflation at all as long as interest rates go up. Inflation only hurts poor people.

Awesome.  Let me dumb it down for you.  Inflation won't hurt me.  I'd rather have high interest rates that offsets any inflation because I have a lot more money in the bank than I do spending.  HTH

“The ministry is analysing the impact of the announced tariffs… It is a mixed bag and not a setback for India,” a senior commerce ministry official told PTI, adding that discussions with the US could lead to revisions.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said his country would negotiate with the Trump administration to remove the tariffs.

U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer did not criticize Trump; rather, he said that the U.S. president was acting on "his mandate." However, he also said that "nothing is off the table." The prime minister assured that his government is working to make "an economic prosperity deal" with the U.S.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday announced that his country would preemptively lift all tariffs on U.S. goods.

German Finance Minister Jörg Kukies expects a "substantial adverse impact" from the new US tariffs, but he stressed that Berlin is seeking "partnership-kind negotiations" with Washington.

Quote

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese responded to Trump's tariff plan on Thursday morning, saying the move was not surprising but "totally unwarranted".
"The unilateral action that the Trump administration has taken today against every nation in the world does not come as a surprise. For Australia, these tariffs are not expected, but let me be clear — they are totally unwarranted," he said.
"[US] President Trump referred to reciprocal tariffs. A reciprocal tariff would be zero, not 10 per cent. The administration's tariffs have no basis in logic and they go against the basis of our two nations' partnership. This is not the act of a friend."

BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany's Finance Minister Joerg Kukies warned on Friday that U.S. tariffs would hit both the German and the U.S. economies and that Berlin was working to prevent an escalating trade war.

Kukies made the statement to Reuters after meeting his U.S. counterpart, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and other members of the Trump administration in Washington.

The United States announced late on Wednesday 25% duties on imports of finished cars and certain components from April 3, dashing hopes for lower rates or exemptions after several short-term policy changes suggested there might be wiggle room.

"Higher tariffs will hit German car manufacturers and the entire German economy particularly hard. But they will also harm the U.S. economy, because they will make imports more expensive and increase prices for consumers in the U.S.," he said.

Export-oriented car companies in Europe, most notably Germany's big automakers, are heavily exposed.

"At the European level, we will continue to work on measures to protect our own economy. However, it is also clear that there are only losers in a trade conflict," he added.

I don't need to worry about everyone else. It's not my problem people aren't prepared and don't know what to do when the economy changes. I could recommend a few good books, just for you though.
