Try just posting, without a video, what it is that you want to say.

You have not actually said/posted what it is yet!!!

If I want to watch pointless/endless videos I would be on YouTube not AN.

 

I'm sorry but you have to be trolling. You seriously can't be this stupid. Here's the thumbnail. Guess what the video is about? Oddly enough the same as this thread. BTW Thailand joins more than 50 countries to negotiate about the tariffs.

The Smoot-Hawley tariffs of 1930 are agreed upon by economists as worsening the Great Depression. Here we go again, history repeating itself.

 

Anyone who views Trump's tariffs as a triumph knows nothing about history or economics.

 

No world leader is going to crumble. They will either pivot away from the US, or respond with retaliatory tariffs of their own. Already happening.

 

Trump says he will bring manufacturing back to the USA. Assuming anyone is willing to put capital into an unstable country, those plants will take years to build. They don't spring up overnight.

 

By that time, America will have gone from recession into depression.

 

How to shoot yourself in the foot.

Not much retaliatory tariffs from what I've seen. Only Asian country going to do this is China and that should not surprise anyone.

Here is a good example of the Trump effect on winning! EU & China beware!

Americans are fed up with Terrorist supporting countries and organizations like NAto who support Hamas.

EU  countries are a bunch Socialist countries siding with Terrorist and is a bunch of Globalist leftist hypocrites to illegal migration.

All of this while China is hands off by the Globalist!Time stamp 5:50 for a historians (VDH)) perspective.

 

 

 

You're getting more weird by the day.

From NY Times opinion 7 APR 2025

President Trump’s imposition of high tariffs on friend and foe alike has stunned the world and stumped economists. There is no economic rationale, experts say, for believing these tariffs will usher in a new era of American prosperity.

But the slash-and-burn approach of the Mar-a-Lago Accord isn’t the answer. For one thing, it is hard to find an economist outside of Mr. Trump’s inner circle who thinks it is a good idea.

Not one economist told me to buy bitcoin when it was 1000 dollars but then again they couldnt predict the 2008 crisis and why bitcoin was invented in 2009 they still cant connect the dots. In other words, who gives a flying <deleted> what paul krugman thinks

Maybe these folks from The Guardian headline today:

 


Rightwing group backed by Koch and Leo sues to stop Trump tariffs
New Civil Liberties Alliance says president’s invocation of emergency powers to impose tariffs is unlawful

 

BTW that NYTimes opinion piece was not by Paul Krugman

Has anyone ever experienced that so called dream?

That's quite an ignorant statement. Not everybody in the USA is some helpless, little, whining, purple haired, creature living in their parent's basement. I came back to the USA because You can have a decent life here and your own home which is almost impossible in most western countries now. 

 

Aside from that it is one of the easiest places to do business and make money. I lived all over Europe for years and I have never even heard anybody say the phrase "British dream" or "German Dream" Those disappeared centuries ago.

They are all students of keynes. The world is shifting back to sound money, modern economists should be looking for new work

For a long time, America has been regarded as a safe haven for investment capital, doing business, stable currency etc.

 

In a couple of months, Trump has destroyed that.

 

Economics has the human factor of trust. Who do you think trusts America now?

Supreme Court Upholds Trump's Use of Alien Enemies Act
Last updated 27 minutes ago
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the Trump administration, allowing the use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport noncitizens identified as members of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang. This decision overturns a previous block by a federal judge, enabling the administration to continue its deportation efforts under this historical law. The ruling was decided by a narrow margin of 5-4, with Justice Barrett joining the three liberal justices in dissent.

Complete B.S. The author of the NYTimes article is a partisan of Milton Friedman who was completely opposed to Keynesianism

 

You don't even know what you are talking about! :coffee1:

Definition of boredom:
500 AN posts a week from a bedsitter in the Cross—or maybe Redfern. “Get a life” would be an understatement.
 

Who would’ve guessed? As usual, your post is predicated on pure, unadulterated BS.

What can be asserted without evidence can (and should) be dismissed—without hesitation. — Hitchens’s Razor.

 

The vague headline “50 countries have reached out to negotiate” is classic Trumpian—big number, no receipts.

Investing in US is better than ever. No tariffs.

Exactly. Most economists are clueless.
