Trump: Tariff payments start August 1

If your goal is 15%, ask for 30%, then when you come down to 15% you are getting what you wanted but the other side gets to say they talked you down from 30%. Seems like that’s what’s happening anyway.

That's not bad. You act like inflation is soaring like it did during the Biden administration. It went up .3

While I agree that the tariff implementation isn't the way to "fix" onshoring...nor do I accept the premise that the US needs to be self-sufficient when it comes to all mfg, etc, the general population seemingly doesn't care about this issue (at least not like we, as traders do).

If the overwhelming percentage of the population were as irate as some here, they would [or at least SHOULD] be writing their congressional (both democratic and republican) representatives (and president, for that matter) repeatedly asking for an immediate halt of this behavior.

The presidents approval rating would be in the single digits for economic policy and he'd change. It's not. The markets are at highs. "No one" (99.5%?) of the voting population in the US really cares about the dollar strength (or understands it....because no one here exchanges currency) and few have to deal with it in their business lives.

These are really big, macro economic issues that people don't understand until it hits the grocery shelves or the gas pumps. Win those areas and you can pull one over on the constituency easily enough. Trump knows this. The republicans know this. No one is going to put pressure on the administration. So, we are reliant upon the markets to do so (bond, equities, forex).....and, as we have seen time and time again, the markets will "right the ship".....it is just a matter of time. And of pain thresholds.

Think about a number from 10 to 500, and then zigzag it before you flipflop it a dozen times and then finally think about a date and timing, and then you know exactly how you position yourself for gold, USD, market sentiment and next week bias. Simple....right ?

This 'notice' is not to other countries. It's to all Americans who will be the only ones paying this 'tax'. It's a highly regressive tax.

CPI 2.4 to 2.7 in June only with 10% . these fu*cking 20%-50% will do good job to blow USA economy. rate can not lower. inflation continue until tariffs over. this is crazy. hope all this FU*KING SALE TAX on AMERICA. this is one way to destroy nation. WTF !!! no shoe maker or clother come back to USA. GROWTH TOMOTO,VEG...... look at farming. no young amrica want to do farming. this is so stupid.

THE STATE, IT'S ME.

Where have we heard this ... I think we heard this some time ago ...
