And exactly the same is happening this time. Companies make big promises, because they know that will land them big favors from Trump for the time being, and probably will exempt them from the tariffs. They also know that Trump will be in office for a maximum of 4 years, put probably will be expelled much earlier, so they will then renege on their promises but in the meantime have cashed in on Trump's favors

Be careful, I think Yagoda has the copyright on that line.

Don't worry the will get over it, in fact, the dems will RUN over Trump in the midterms

Thanks, you have just confirmed what Trump is doing. Charles Schwartz made 2 billion, during Trump's market rigging stunt, there is video evidence where you clearly can hear Trump saying that, when he announced now is the time to buy, and then 1 hour later he announced he would pause tariffs. The poor and middle class will be the biggest victims of the tariffs, because prices of essential goods will go through the roof. Nobody want to negotiate with the bully boy, as China has made clear today. Now he is begging China to start the talks, yet he increases the tariff with another 100%. What chances you think that will bring China to the table? Europe also has made clear that further negotiations are off the table, because he rejected their offer for a 2 sided 0% tariff deal. You ain't seen nothing yet, but it not gonna be pretty once China starts dumping the US treasuries they are holding.

Traffic in Pattaya was this week the best I have seen in months, and seen very few buses around as well.

He loved her so much, he became her personal waiter.

Hopefully the UK says thank you, or there will be no deal. In other news today, everyone else is jumping up and down to get a deal with Trump, at HIS demands. NOT https://www.pymnts.com/europe-3/2025/european-union-officials-see-little-progress-tariff-talks-with-united-states/ Report: EU Officials See Little Progress in Tariff Talks With US In addition, the U.S. officials rejected an EU proposal that the two sides remove tariffs on industrial goods, including cars; showed little interest in an EU proposal that it boost its purchases of U.S. liquefied natural gas as an alternative to tariffs; and insisted that any agreement lower the EU’s non-tariff barriers like digital regulations and food standards, per the report. It was reported Friday (April 11) that while the U.S.-initiated tariffs have been paused for three months and the negotiations have begun, Brussels was bracing for a fresh escalation in the standoff after European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen indicated the bloc would not hesitate to retaliate if negotiations fail. “We are prepared to deploy our most powerful trade measures if we see no other way forward,” von der Leyen said in an interview with the Financial Times. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-presses-china-tariff-offer-182344161.html Trump Presses China to Make Tariff Offer to Calm Trade War The comments are a fresh sign the US and China continue to dig in their heels, indicating there is no end in sight to fight that has seen both sides raise trade barriers to staggering levels. China ordered airlines not to take further deliveries of Boeing Co. jets, according to people familiar with the matter. It marked Beijing’s latest move to retaliate against Trump’s decision to hike levies to as high as 145% on Chinese goods. The US president criticized China in a social media post earlier Tuesday, saying the government “just reneged on the big Boeing deal” signed during his first administration. Bully boy is getting desperate. What was previously claimed to be 75 countries wanting to make a deal, has now been reduced to just 15, and I guess that is still 50% lies. https://baohaiduong.vn/en/tong-thong-trump-gia-tang-ap-luc-hoi-thuc-trung-quoc-khoi-dong-tien-trinh-dam-phan-409504.html Trump is considering at least 15 proposals from other countries and has made it clear to his trade team “he wants to personally sign off on all of these deals,” Leavitt said.

Good so, although I don't think Trump needs any help in screwing the US, he's doing a very good job at that himself

I not read it "somewhere", it those figures are made public by the WH. Welcome to my ignore list, as I hate MAGA members who are in denial and try to ridicule credible sources.

The guy really does his best to be the laughingstock of the world. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/auto-stocks-pop-as-trump-says-hes-looking-at-something-to-help-car-companies-with-tariffs-180127851.html Auto stocks pop as Trump says he's 'looking at something' to help car companies with tariffs Trump didn't indicate whether help would be coming to stem the effect of overall auto import tariffs or upcoming duties on car parts. “I’m looking at something to help some of the car companies, where they’re switching to parts that were made in Canada, Mexico, and other places, and they need a little bit of time because they’re going to make them here,” Trump said, adding that “they need a little bit of time, so I’m talking about things like that.”

One wonders how moronic someone has to be to not understand that you can't make something for which you don't have the raw material. Everyone knows you're an old-timer, and probably haven't been able to afford a car in the last 2 decades, but do cars in NZ have a sticker "rare earth inside"? The rest of your childish, ignorant comments aren't even worth to comment on.

It is not about if they play golf, but how much time they spend playing golf. During his first term Trump spent 360 days on the golf course, his own golf courses of course, so he can charge the secret service for the accommodation.

The only one fake here is you

You think they don't have toilets at his golf course, where he already spent 18 days since his inauguration, and waste 26 million dollars of taxpayers money? https://www.masslive.com/news/2025/03/taxpayers-tab-for-trumps-golfing-during-2nd-term-reaches-milestone-report-says.html

Nownow, see who is back

He's rigging the market, making his friends rich. They will be informed in time before he makes announcements, so they know when to buy or sell.

For not being a MAGA member, as you claimed before, you really go out of your way to defend MAGA

Instead, in a cabinet meeting on Thursday, Mr. Musk said that he anticipated the group would save about $150 billion, 85 percent less than its objective. You wanty to say the press makes false claims about what Musk himself said?

Sounds to me like there is a serious fallout between Musk and Trump, and Musk now tries to show Trump's administration as a failure

The point is these items will not be exempted from tariffs. As always Trump is very consistent and equitable. Not at the moment, I think as regards China it's only 10% for a short while to see if China wants to secure a deal. Then the 20% tariffs DO kick in, but IN ADDITION these items will be slapped with tariffs in the semiconductor bucket. I hope this helps clear it up. My quote was a statement made by the US administration, so I guess you are as deranged as Trump himself. No need to answer, as I know the answer from your post history

Did they forget to inform him for a full year?

But when a similar post, concerning heteros, appears on this forum, you will be the first to label it disgusting.

Is that you Franchesko?

This is actually what he currently claims, but if there were no exceptions, then they would be on a 145% tariff instead of a 20%, not? https://finance.yahoo.com/news/live/trump-tariffs-live-updates-trump-team-sow-confusion-on-reported-exemptions-for-cell-phones-electronics-191201399.html There was no Tariff “exception” announced on Friday. These products are subject to the existing 20% Fentanyl Tariffs, and they are just moving to a different Tariff “bucket.” The Fake News knows this, but refuses to report it. We are taking a look at Semiconductors and the WHOLE ELECTRONICS SUPPLY CHAIN in the upcoming National Security Tariff Investigations.

The only thing that is fake is the incumbent.
