  1. What majorities of Americans don't understand is that America has been a great country because of other countries. They will soon find out that America has not been great because of MAGA.

  2. NEGOTIATION 101

    “Never negotiate from a position of weakness and never negotiate unless you are prepared to walk away from the table.“

    The best way for countries and companies to negotiate with Trump and Trumpists is to refuse to negotiate. Double down. Retaliate with tariffs and quotas. Create an extended-terms (10 to 20 years?) repayment government loan scheme that subsidises export prices equal to the USA‘s tariffs.

    Why? Because the tariffs are a negotiation trap. Because hisTrump's crazy tariffs are designed to panic you into negotiating. Then you will start negotiating from a position of weakness. Then you will make concessions. And after a few months the tariffs will be wholly or partly lifted. As a result the economies will start to improve and Trump will claim that this vindicates his madness.

    REFUSE TO NEGOTIATE UNTIL TRUMP CONCEDES SOMETHING

  3. The clowns in the White House… zero tariffs on rogue states… North Korea, Russia… 47% tax on Madagascar exports… 37% on Bangladesh…

    What's the point of slaughtering miserable countries with such high tariffs? Does he really think that T-shirt production is going to be relocated to New York? The guy is completely out of his depth… Just calculating customs duties… A primary school teacher… I'd be ashamed if I were an American…
    And yet he is doing positive things about controlling migration and eradicating the leprosy of wokism… but this is surreal… it's going to take everything else with it…
    Stock markets are collapsing, inflation is going to soar in the US, he's just lost a by-election in Wisconsin… Confidence indicators are collapsing… In my opinion, all this is going to end quickly and badly…

  4. What I understand is: Trump's aim is to reduce debt. Right now, America is heavily in debt and on the verge of bankruptcy. The man aims to borrow at lower interest rates by attracting those who escaped from the stock market. Will it work? We will see.

  5. Americans should hit the streets and impeach this man called Trump!!! It’s obvious that he’s supporters are rethinking and definitely in the minority

  6. China has hit back, other major countries will too. The US will not benefit at all.
    Trump is a bitter bully surrounded by fake plastic yes-people, out for their own gain.

  7. The market trend can turn around very quickly. In fact, the indexes often switch from a bear market to a bull market when the news is at its worst and the mood of investors is at its lowest point. I read an article of people that grossed profits up to $150k during this crash, what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist?

  8. C'mon u american fools, wake up! Trump is not interested in MAGA at all, he only wants to make himself filthy rich & rule the world. You smart asses didnt read his stunts all these years?

  9. "but companies right now, they're just not, they're just not buying it, they don't want to risk putting all money into doing what you said…" According to who? List the companies that said this. Oh wait, you don't have a list, you don't have anything factual, just feelings, as usual…

  10. Never seen a goverment that hates its people like the American government. To punch down on people who are already struggling is crazy. Don't elect billionaires next time.
