The US dollar is sinking like a rock
Of Importance: If a coutry needs to impose import tariffs, it means that the home economy can no more compete with the rest of the world. No matter how you slice it, it's the essence of it all. Period. -

Crime Swedish Man Beaten by Girlfriend & Mob of 10 Men in Soi Buakhao, Pattaya
When I came to Thailand about 7-8 years ago, I was constantly told about how Thais treat drunk tourists and hooligans - Thais try not to conflict anyway because they think that a foreigner is behaving badly or is aggressive because he is a complete fool and does not realize this from a Buddhist point of view on life. A Thai, being a Buddhist, is above this and considers it low to stoop to his level and therefore never responds, does not start a conflict or consider it rude. Now these memories are funny in Pattaya. 🤣 -

The US dollar is sinking like a rock
Trump does not know how the stock market works, but I think you can go one step further and say he does not know how the economy works, and on a more important level he knows nothing anything about globalization and all the intricacies involved in manufacturing internationally. There's a reason why that's taking place, there's a reason why manufacturing has shifted overseas. It didn't happen in a vacuum and that manufacturing will not return to the US, not during our lifetime. It is just a slogan and a concept that he used to very craftily deceive millions of people into voting for him. It would appear at this point that Trump's seesaw approach to tariffs is having a dire effect on the US economy, thousands of jobs are being lost every day, the stock market is crashing (and believe me that crash has only just begun) and many countries are re-thinking their relationships with the US, realizing that the US is not the dependable ally they thought it was. Many are avoiding visits to the US which could decimate American tourism, and many nations are likely planning their manufacturing in such a way that they are considerably less dependent on American imports, exports, and sales. So where does that leave America in the grand scheme of things, and how badly could Trump's policies come back and bite him on his enormous butt? In the minds of many of us Trump is grossly overestimating the importance of the US and the dependence of other nations on the US. Granted the US economy is still huge, but it's not immune to damage, it's not immune to punishment by other nations, it could start shrinking, and it's not immune to crashing.
