    Part of a collectivist dream. Companies losing billions of dollars in a day, and self inflicted to boot.

    Or what, you gonna cry over unrealized gains and imaginary money?

    Beyond that, trump has talked about putting up tariffs since years ago. Hell I remember even Pelosi, Bernie and Biden did as well. So yeah this is just another negotiation chip.

    Buckle up bois

      Everyone talks about tariffs. That’s not the issue. The issue is a universal tariff based on chatgpt. He didn’t even calculate the correct tariffs rates on the US. The other issue is most of the 1% have the means to buy boatloads of stock right now as it’s crashing. Companies won’t lose money. They’ll pass this onto consumers and workers. Raise prices, no bonuses, cut staff. So the working class will be hit the hardest while the 1% profits. And these tariffs aren’t expected to actually bring any manufacturing back to the US.
