    Of course you're stuck on "penguins" and did zero research to see why a particular island was tariffed. It was actually a brilliant move and I hadn't even thought about transshipments until the whole penguin thing came up. I've used similar tactics in the past when shipping ocean containers out of Mexico into Korea when they had a 30% tariff on Mexican avocados. It wasn't too difficult to exploit certain loopholes and avoid tariffs. The 30% tariffs have since been removed so I'm back to straight into port of final destination.

    You're saying it's a brilliant move. Put it in real world dollars instead of just re running around ing footballs in the end zone
    50+ in less than a week
    Now put in dollar amounts instead of number of countries.
    Again, why are you trying to conflate the conversation we were having about world leaders lining up to negotiate with the US with penguins? Like I said...you're just flailing at this point.

    Hey dip have you seen the Dow lately? I'm not into imaginary scoreboard like you Trump s. I'm into real world finance. Particularly my own.
    If you were "into real world finance" you should have seen this coming from a mile away and had cash on hand as this has been an amazing buying opportunity.

    yeah, well, Trump just declared economic war on the whole world except for Russia and North Korea

    and nuked trillions in market capitalization

    it makes sense other countries are seeking adjustments to Trump's frankly insane tariffs

    our trade deficit is ~$1.2 trillion

    Trump nuked trillions more than that of the value of US equities to bring people to the table

    epic self-wounding for tactical advantage, millions depend on US equity markets for their retirement

    "Then-candidate Donald Trump, at a campaign rally last August as the 2024 race for the White House was heating up, made a promise to voters to quickly bring economic relief if elected.

    underrated:

    DOGE's destruction of the IRS is estimated to lead to a $500 billion revenue shortfall

    The paradox of jacking up tariffs to cut a trade deficit while slashing taxes to a below a bare minimum needed for state capacity is that it ends up making US government solvency dependent on import volumes
    If Trump and the MAGA GOP keep slashing taxes and whacking up tariffs, a government committed to eliminating the US trade deficit with the rest of the world would need to keep huge flows of imports from the rest of the world for revenue needed to keep the US from going bankrupt

    "pay us tribute for USD and US military dominance"

    "just write a check to the US Treasury"

    We are under siege by hostile adversaries trying to erode our manufacturing and defense industrial base and disrupt our financial system; we will be able to provide neither defense nor reserve assets if our manufacturing capacity is hollowed out. The President has been clear that the United States is committed to remaining the reserve provider, but that the system must be made fairer. We need to rebuild our industries to project the strength needed to protect reserve status, and we need to be able to pay our bills to do so.

    What forms can that burden sharing take? There are many options, here are a few ideas:


    • First, other countries can accept tariffs on their exports to the United States without retaliation, providing revenue to the U.S. Treasury to finance public goods provision. Critically, retaliation will exacerbate rather than improve the distribution of burdens and make it even more difficult for us to finance global public goods.
    • Second, they can stop unfair and harmful trading practices by opening their markets and buying more from America;
    • Third, they can boost defense spending and procurement from the U.S., buying more U.S.-made goods, and taking strain off our servicemembers and creating jobs here;
    • Fourth, they can invest in and install factories in America. They won’t face tariffs if they make their stuff in this country;
    • Fifth, they could simply write checks to Treasury that help us finance global public goods.

    if the world pays us back, do we have to surrender the goods and services we bought with the money?

    "The US ulative trade deficits in goods from 1976 to 2024 have transferred over $20tn of American wealth into foreign hands."

    Are you re ed? When I said you should have seen this coming from a mile away since "you are into real world finance" I meant you should have seen the market crashing when the tariffs were implemented. Trump talked about them constantly and you even saw a test run the month prior. He even gave you the ing date they'd go into place and you are telling me you didn't have cash on hand to take advantage?

    Since you are re ed and randomly brought up inflation and lower costs...

    Here's a nice chart since I know you hate reading so much...psst...start looking at January.

    https://truflation.com/marketplace/us-inflation-rate

    Gas down, your precious eggs are down over 50%. It's only been 4 months the price relief on other things isn't going to be immediate as it will take time for the agencies directed to implement.

    anyone that says they saw this amount of wreckage coming a mile away is lying.

    But since you saw it, lay out exactly how you took advantage of this. What did you invest in and when?

    Back at the '09 Crash. We made up our minds then that never again. We'd recoup the losses (took almost 3 years) and never do anything that didn't have the F.D.I.C. seal upon it, ever again. It was & remains our religion.
