4 Months Ago They Loved Tariffs… Now MAGA is Panicking (Dark Brandon on YouTube, April 7, 2025 - 11:37 min.)
Four months ago, tariffs were supposed to bring back jobs and crush inflation. Today, we’re staring down Black Monday and begging for price relief.

Business leaders threw support behind Trump. Now they're panicking over tariffs (MSNBC on YouTube, April 8, 2025 - 10:59 min.)
Business leaders are weighing in on the escalating Trump tariff war — and they are not happy.

1:33--> We didn't get almost any of the big, big CEOs standing up and speaking out. Well, they know exactly the risks ahead. Their risk models have calculated that the risk of speaking publicly and saying anything that could upset the president is greater. And that silence is deafening. It shows a fear of the president's wrath and a loss of trust in the government and the rule of law.

(...)
5:21--> Well, I want to remember all the Wall Street investors who were giddy about Trump after the election. They deeply believed that oppressive wokeness and DEI policies were strangling their ability to focus or unleashing their best productivity and profitability. And I was remembering back today to an article in the Financial Times just a couple of months ago when one unnamed banker said he finally felt liberated because he can now use offensive slurs like the R word and the P word without getting cancelled.
My question to all those big-time investors and banker on Wall Street is:
How is that liberation feeling for them now?

I wonder if the anonymous banker feels liberated enough to dare criticize Trump's tariffs and maybe even call him an R word, or if he's just going to P-word out.
 

Minnesota soybean farmers concerned with escalating potential trade war with China | FOX 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul

Minnesota soybean growers are voicing concerns over the uncertainty of the situation ahead of planting season.

I wonder how many voted for Herr Schitler.

(FOX 9) - Minnesota soybean growers are voicing concerns over the uncertainty of the situation ahead of planting season.

Trump advisors said their strategy of using tariffs as a tool is already working. The administration said more than 50 countries have reached out for tariff talks.

Growing concern ahead of planting season​

The backstory:

There is growing uncertainty for Minnesota’s soybean farmers as America’s trading partners scramble to respond to President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs.

In retaliation, China announced it would match the latest 34% tax and impose the same levy on all U.S. imports.

Leopard purring intensifies

I'm starting to wonder if we need a Leopard face emoji for reacting to posts, next to the thumbs up, hearts, etc. 😏
 

The United Auto Workers union, and many of its members, have publicly agreed with President Donald Trump’s decision to slap 25% tariffs on all imported cars.

But about 900 UAW members will start paying the price for those tariffs starting Monday.

That’s how many hourly workers at five US Stellantis plants will be laid off for two or three weeks because their jobs producing powertrains and stampings for plants in Canada and Mexico have been temporarily idled due to the tariffs.

The layoffs could be a sign of things to come. Since the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) went into effect 31 years ago, the auto industry has operated as if the US borders with Canada and Mexico did not exist. Components moved freely and frequently between the three countries as they assembled cars, as automakers built millions of vehicles destined for US dealerships at Mexican and Canadian plants.

But those assembly plants north and south of the border were often supplied by American factories. Shutting production at those plants will mean the plants that produce those parts are also at risk.

Three of the Stellantis plants starting layoffs are in Kokomo, Indiana, an island of auto factories amidst a sea of farm fields in the northern part of the state. There are no cars assembled in Kokomo, but there about 5,000 workers building transmissions and engines there, supplying auto plants to all three countries.

Union members there, even if they agree with the idea of tariffs and their union support of the Trump administration’s policies, are nervous about what the future will bring, said Denny Butler, vice president of one of the three union locals in town.

The thing is that even the price of that Chevy would rise as a result of tariffs because some components and raw materials are imported.

That Chevy would also be even more difficult to sell overseas (one of Trump's gripes is that foreigners aren't buying US made vehicles) because not only is it tailored to the US market and it now suffers from the reputational stigma of coming from the US, it's more expensive (even if the importing country doesn't apply reciprocal tariffs).

Trump is applying tariffs because he wants to. Any rationale is being retrofitted and that's the reason why they are contradictory.

When trump said 'across-the-board' tariffs he didn't mean 'across-the-board' tariffs? The right-wing pundits assured one and all they'd be selective, targeted. I mean, c'mon folks. That 'across-the-board' tariffs stuff was just campaign talk.

Only...

trump is a moron? He's got a lot of company.
