bu...bu...why would they do that
I don't think it's correct to think of this as a trade war. This is just finding out a way to accomplish the Bush era neocon wet dream of the Fair Tax that shifts the tax burden onto the people and away from the minority of rich s that are the only people this capitalist economy actually works for. Trump occasionally lets it slip how excited he is at the revenues this tax will bring in, which will almost certainly be used as justification for slashing taxes on the ruling class.
Nah Trump is turning us into 1990s post-Soviet privatized Russia
That's cope man. Trump's obviously not going to allow any national free election when he can't face any consequence for stealing the next election. He already tried to steal the election in 2020 back when there were minimal safeguards. Now there is nothing in his way.
Nah we're headed for techno-feudalism
It's going to be great
the reasons given are incoherent and nonsensical
people here excited about increasing prices on all these producs by increasing manufacturing costs. all for the stated purpose of bringing back jobs (this guy took over office with nearly record low unemployment), or for bringing back "good" jobs (real wages, which are by definition adjusted for inflation, were already the highest they'd ever been)
stellantis and whirlpool are also laying off people in the hundreds/thousands... domestic jobs, in response to the tariffs
He came back again and still won't touch itbu...bu...why would they do that
surely the markets will respond positively to all of these investment announcements
The markets aren't the US economy lol
of course it isnt. there is no one number for "the economy"
you could look at things like unemployment rate, real wages, purchasing power, gdp, interest rates, and market returns.
the market is just going to be the first of those to have noticeable, reactive/responsive changes. often times overreactions and overcorrections to be sure. its an indicator.
TSA gettin' down to brass tacks.

Bend over. I'll show ya a in' indicator.
You've lost all sense of reason, bum.
Will they cost less than the ones made there before?
It's even worse than that go read the basic approach and see if you can find the issuethey set the two Greek symbols in the denominator to 4 and 0.25… which when multiplied just makes 1.
so it really is just imports - exports divided by exports as the internet realized. To make it look sophisticated they added two Greek symbols which cancel out
right. the obvious follow up to "civic made in US vs Mexico to avoid 4k tariff" is how much will production cost be in US vs Mexico, and how will that be reflected in pricing

...
The most basic is that tariffs are damaging the global economy, and economic weakness tends to bring a slump in oil demand. Less trade means less economic activity, which means fewer people driving and flying. Airlines were already warning about weakening demand before Trump’s latest round of tariffs.
The second is that OPEC and its allies are ramping up their oil production. On Thursday, the group announced an unexpectedly big production increase scheduled for May.
The oil market was already on the verge of oversupply, and OPEC’s increase will almost certainly push it over the brink. Unless companies dramatically cut production, prices could keep falling.

So no inflation
Ya'll have turned into Mitt Romney
