After about a week of confusion and the lack of information Clueless leader has finally released what his new round of tariffs will be.

Let’s review shall we?

“It’s our declaration of economic independence,” President Trump said at a “Liberation Day” event at the White House on Wednesday, declaring it to be one of the most important days in American history. The president unveiled a slew of new tariffs that were higher than many analysts had expected, the New York Times reports. “Our country and its taxpayers have been ripped off for more than 50 years but it’s not going to happen anymore,” Trump said.

• Trump declared a baseline tariff of 10% on imports from all countries and extra “reciprocal tariffs” on imports from dozens of countries, the AP reports. They include a 34% tax on imports from China, 32% on imports from Taiwan, 25% on imports from South Korea, 24% on imports from Japan, and 20% imports from the European Union. He said the rate for imports from the UK would be 10%.
• According to a chart Trump displayed, Cambodia will face the highest reciprocal tariff, at 49%, CBS News reports. The chart showed a 48% rate for Laos and 47% for Madagascar.
• In an executive order, Trump declared a national emergency “arising from conditions reflected in large and persistent annual US goods trade deficits.”
• The 10% tariff on all imports, apart from those compliant with the US-Mexico-Canada trade agreement, will take effect at midnight Friday, CNN reports. Officials said the extra tariffs on goods from around 60 countries will take effect next Wednesday.
• Trump accused other countries of unfair trade practices, saying the US “has been looted, pillaged, raped, plundered” in his Rose Garden speech. “In many cases, the friend is worse than the foe in terms of trade,” he said, per the Telegraph. “We subsidize a lot of countries and keep them going and keep them in business,” he added. “Why are we doing this?”
• Trump claimed the tariffs were “kind,” saying his administration was only imposing tariffs at half the rate that should be applied based on other countries’ trade practices, the Times reports.
• The chart Trump displayed, however, showed a tariff rate based on “currency manipulation and trade barriers,” and it’s not clear how it was calculated, the Guardian reports. University of Michigan economist Justin Wolfers said the new tariffs will give the US “the highest tariff rates of any industrialized country. And it’s not even close.”
• The president also confirmed that a 25% tariff on auto imports would take effect at midnight.

WTF?

Just what in Hell did Cambodia or Laos do to piss off the big idiot?

These lame ass crappy policies are from the mind of an fucking idiot.

But the dumbest part of this shit storm is the idea of tariffs on illegal drugs.

President Donald Trump says a primary reason for his new tariffs against the United States’ three largest trading partners is what he calls a “national emergency” brought on by fentanyl flowing across the country’s borders.

Trump says he is holding Canada, China and Mexico accountable for the spread of contraband drugs.

“They’ve allowed fentanyl to come into our country at levels never seen before,” he said in a joint address to Congress on Tuesday night, referring to Mexico and Canada, “killing hundreds of thousands of our citizens and many very young, beautiful people, destroying families.”

You people realize that the importer pays the tariffs, right?

Okay now think about that for just a minute before your brain explodes.

You need some basic economic knowledge to see where this absolutely stupidity will fucking lead.

Here is a breakdown of some of the possibilities….

Let’s be honest the only people that will suffer are you and your family.

Donald Trump has been labeled the “most economically ignorant president in US history” following his recent actions.

His touted “Liberation Day” is being called out as a mere con job, aimed at deceiving Americans into thinking he’s championing their wealth, while he’s actually igniting an economic blaze. The tariffs he’s touting as a bold initiative to safeguard American jobs and industries are expected to do anything but that.

Instead, they’re predicted to cause prices to skyrocket nationwide, hiking expenses for consumers, businesses, and manufacturers alike.

Trump is notorious for shifting blame for his own shortcomings onto others, and this time he’s attributing economic woes to foreign countries, all while American families are left to pay the price for his catastrophic policies. Meanwhile, the threat looms that thousands around the globe could lose their jobs due to these decisions.

Despite promises to slash inflation from “day one” of his presidency, Trump has instead swung an economic sledgehammer at global markets, causing tremors across the financial landscape and ushering in a new era of uncertainty, reports the Mirror.

Far from curbing inflation, he’s accelerating it dangerously, confirming suspicions that his economic policies are merely bluster cloaked in populist rhetoric.

The markets have not responded well to Donny magic Sharlie…..

The US stock market is poised to open with a steep plunge on Thursday in the wake of President Trump’s tariff rollout, reports the Wall Street Journal. World markets sank as well.

• Dow futures fell more than 1,100 points, or 2.6%, per CNBC. The benchmark S&P 500 fell 3.3% and the tech-centric Nasdaq was in the worst shape, down 3.6%. Markets in Asia and Europe also dropped sharply, all of which suggests traders didn’t expect Trump’s tariffs to be as large as they were, notes the New York Times.
• Two big multinational companies in the red were Nike, with shares down 9%, and Apple, down 7%. Companies with a big investment in imported goods also were down, including Five Below (11%), Dollar Tree (10%) and Gap (9%).
• Many nations were still assessing how to respond after Trump levied a 10% tariff on all imported goods, plus extra penalties on countries the White House considers to be “bad actors.”
• China, for instance, got hit with a new 34% tariff on top of previous ones, bringing the base tariff on Chinese goods to 54%. In response, the nation’s commerce secretary accused Trump of “unilateral bullying.” A sampling of others: The European Union got hit with a 20% tariff, Japan 24%, India 26%, and Vietnam 46%.

The markets could recover but it will take creative crap for them to do so.

But wait!

Is there any nation/s that failed to make Donny’s ire?  There are nations not on Donny’s list for harsher tariffs…..

The broad new tariffs unveiled by President Trump on Wednesday impose financial penalties on pretty much every country of note. However, Axios points out that one major nation is missing from the list—Russia. The White House says it isn’t about favoritism: Press secretary Karoline Leavitt says existing sanctions on Russia already “preclude any meaningful trade.” Axios, however, points out that the US does more trade with Russia than other nations on the list, including Mauritius or Brunei.

• Three others: Cuba, North Korea, and Belarus also were not hit with new sanctions, with Leavitt again citing existing sanctions or tariffs.

Why are these American adversaries not on some list?

Do you really buy the bullshit of harsh sanctions precluded them from his anger?

A little economic knowledge would alert you to the possibilities facing you and your family.

I have had enough of trying to keep it civil….Okay let’s call a spade a spade….

Your president is one arrogant stupid motherfucker!  A “stable genius” my boney ass!  Anyone who thinks this stupid shit is going to make life better needs there tiny brain scrubbed out with hot sauce.  There is NO fucking upside to anything this moron you elected is doing.
