Donald says China has been hit harder so hang tough

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
China has been hit much harder than the USA, not even close. They, and many other nations, have treated us unsustainably badly. We have been the dumb and helpless 'whipping post', but not any longer. My administration is bringing back jobs and businesses like never before "THIS IS AN ECONOMIC REVOLUTION, AND WE WILL WIN. HANG TOUGH, it won’t be easy, but the end result will be historic

On a popular YT video blog, the leading comment on a video entitled Why America's Reputation Will Not Survive This, the top-voted comment is:
The reputation of the American people has been harmed by electing him. Again.

I think the two just about summarize the post 2024 situation of American soft power, once the greatest on the planet by far.

Trump 2.0 is a public brain fart that shall resound in history, a milestone in national embarrassment.

I think unfortunately that's true. It was embarrassing enough that we as a nation did it once. That, after an interlude, we did it again, creates forever the threat that we will do it yet again. America has become internationally fickle and unreliable. Treaties, understandings, trade pacts, all are suddenly conditional. If I were a foreign leader I'd be hesitant to embark on any policy based on an assumption of American behavior or consistency over more than a couple of years.

I'm sure they also gave him a list of instructions on how to use a bone saw to get rid of "undesirables." Much quicker and cheaper than deportation or camps.
 
Wow: Hillbilly Himmler!

Hey, Hillbilly Himmler, Denmarks deal is stronger than American families who are today. Yesterday, $20,000 per man, woman and child was lost in savings and future 401k’s due to Trumps tariffs crashing global markets. Greenlanders aren’t stupid.

Trump's Treasury secretary 'looking for an exit door' after two months on the job: MSNBC

In the wake of Donald Trump's highly controversial decision to put in place a wall of international tariffs that has roiled the business world, the president's Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is reportedly looking to move on from his current job slightly more than two months after being sworn in.

That is according to MSNBC host and former Wall Street executive Stephanie Ruhle, who appeared on "Morning Joe" on Friday.

Speaking with co-host Jonathan Lemire, Ruhle first pointed out that she has been unable to find people who support Trump's decision to begin a trade war that is causing worldwide economic chaos.

"I have reached out to so many people in the Trump universe, business people who have supported Trump, who have supported President Trump and, Jonathan, I cannot find one single investor with one single argument that makes sense for these tariffs. All I'm getting is, well, this is what the president thinks. This is what he's always wanted to do."

Europe’s secret ‘big bazooka’ could be a key retaliatory tool against Trump’s new tariffs

The Anti-Coercion Instrument is a secret weapon the EU has never used before.
www.yahoo.com www.yahoo.com

President Donald Trump implemented a 20% all-encompassing tariff on the European Union Wednesday, but the bloc has “a strong plan” in its back pocket to pressure the U.S.

On "Liberation Day," Trump imposed a minimum 10% tariff on numerous countries to “make America wealthy again.” Trump also revealed a sweeping 20% tariff on all imports from the EU. European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen has previously said she is confident in the bloc’s ability to stand up for itself, and hopes to strike a deal.

“Europe has not started this confrontation,” von der Leyen said during a speech Tuesday in the European Parliament. “We do not necessarily want to retaliate, but if it is necessary, we have a strong plan to retaliate and we will use it.”

That plan could involve the Anti-Coercion Instrument (ACI), allowing the bloc to place market limitations on service companies that could hit American tech or Wall Street. Put in place in 2023, the ACI allows the bloc to respond to coercion through diplomatic means by any retaliatory measure necessary like import or export restrictions or limitations on access to the European market.

“It’s called the big bazooka,” Fabrizio Pagani, a partner at the investment bank Vitale and a former top economic official in Italy, told DealBook. “I personally think the big bazooka should be used first of all as a deterrent. So put it on the table, and let’s negotiate,” Pagani said.

According to a preliminary plan obtained by DealBook, in response to tariffs, the EU officials have brought up the possibility of implementing ACI to limit American banks’ ability to access the bloc’s public procurements market, essentially barring banks from projects worth $2.18 trillion each year. Additionally, the plan suggested targeting the roughly $327.02 billion annual flow of European investment into American companies.

“It’s more the nuclear option,” global economist for ING Carsten Brzeski told the New York Times.

It would have been embarrassing to his hosts if he won without even turning up.

Those dead losers who lost the US a tank will just have to come home (at the taxpayers expense) without him.
