US politics - the new orange wave (Part 7)

Of course.

But you keep saying stuff without any backing up.
Then you say you have provided stats. Which you haven’t.

So you want the articles of all this proven things that have happened, which will have an effect on the economy?

As you seem to be claiming that they haven’t happened

Its pretty clear that imposition of tariffs will increase prices and stimulate local import replacement action over time. The trouble is in some industries it takes years to ramp up production.

But the flip side is tariff retaliation, which dampens demand for US exports and could cause job losses in those industries.

Then there is buyer sentiment. Sales of EVs like Tesla in Europe are dropping and Musk/Tesla are now on the nose in Europe. Chinese and European hybrids will destroy Teslas market in Europe which has already collapsed in China.

Besides Musk has lost interest in Tesla an half of the people in the USA dislike him.

If you really think this is about anything other than stopping protests against Trump and Co, you’re dumber than I thought.

I think you are both right. Pro-Palestinian protests and anti-Trump protesting are in the same book.

will have an effect.

Let’s just see when the metrics come out. And what it looks like long term.

I’m fully expecting everything to crash. What I get annoyed at is people presenting opinion as fact.

Let’s just wait and see. Short term pain might be good for the rebuild of a country. Who knows.

Markets don’t plummet on a whim…there is always a cause.

Numerous media outlets in America are reporting that the current crash has been caused by Trump’s tariffs:

It makes no such reference.

There were pro Palestinian protests, but that’s not pro hamas. What pro hamas protests were there?

The state of the union address is sickening.

The ones that Albo has been too slow in being “forceful and showing true leadership” on. Even the ones in the US. It’s just terrible!

Side note: try not to use the tiny-sample Dow Jones.

Geez why did i watch some of the address.

They are giving him a standing ovation every sentence when I’m not sure if anyone in the room understand what a tariff is.
