The FAFO Trade War

More tariff follies today as they apparently made a mistake with their math and said the tariff on China didn't go up to 125% but actually 145%. As you can imagine the markets didn't much like that news.

I can’t keep up, what did he say today that the Dow is down 1K?

Oh. Thank you. My workplace deals a lot with China and we have no clue what the tariffs actually are at, it’s that chaotic.

Can't decide if Trump here looks more Zoolanderish (never saw it) or '80s teen movie preppy bad guy.

Xi - maybe a reimagined Moana character?

Zoolander meets Fabio at a speed-dating service for the blind.

I was going to go with "America, Fuck Yeah", but then I thought about what life must be like to be either of them......

I’d say more like a villain from Pocahontas.  Or Asian Thanos.

Tariff exemptions have been placed on everything people like from China, namely phones and tech.

I expect the tariffs to be gone by summer at this rate as Trump declares victory in his il-conceived war that he started.

[André Toulon]

He doesn't have to declare victory...his idiot followers already have...placated already because someone else made money off this shit ...so surely, they're next.

I have these morons on my FB. It would be smarter to delete them, but i love pissing myself off....like, really bro...you're just happy to see anyone win because of this goofball display?...you dont have a dime in the market.
