And the Lying Legacy Media noise in the periphery...

CNBC: Dow claws back sharp losses in stunning reversal after U.S. tariffs on Mexico are paused

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/02/02/stock-market-today-live-updates.html

I haven't gambled in the stock market for 15 years, so I had to look for myself and see what all the fuss was about.

Here's the state of the DOW over the last month, with the 52-week high and the 52-week low shown at the bottom.

That!???? That's what you're freaking out about?

That little tiny-tiny drop from the very fucking tippy-top?

Nobody wanted to mention that the drop the other day was still over 3,000 points higher than it was at the end of Joe's Presidency before the inauguration?

Nobody wanted to mention that the 52-week low is more than 7,000 points lower than it is today?

I can see why even Kevin Drum didn't write an article for you on this with graphs like these.

Grow up.

Trump has said that “tariff” is the most beautiful word in the dictionary. Last Friday, he announced his intention to shine that beauty on the American people.

The video is all Trump. Do you realize that Trump said: "I'm going to war with Canada and Mexico trade." Then he said, "Never mind. I'll do it in 30 days. Maybe. We'll see." Trump has wiped his ass with the North American Free Trade Agreement, the agreement he negotiated. No treaty he is involved in from now until he gets a bullet in the head will be believable after today's performance. There is video of fucking nuts Trump but you won't watch.

Without even watching it, I'm sure it's a hodge-podge of words that Trump has actually spoken, taken completely out of context, and all put together to paint a story you wanted to hear.

You are a moron, and you are easily manipulated.

The Real Secret Behind Trump’s Insane Tariff Obsession

The president won’t clarify what his price for ending his idiotic trade war is. Maybe that’s because it’s something he dare not say out loud.

Trump’s China tariff is 10 percent (against 25 percent on Canada and Mexico) because China purchased vast numbers of Trump’s memecoins. Citing a report from Business Insider, around 40 very rich and anonymous investors own fully 94 percent of the Trump memecoins. Each of these 40 gave Trump more than $10 million for these worthless trinkets.

Have these very rich investors, whose identities are not publicly available, been following some sophisticated investment strategy well beyond the understanding of you and me? No. These purchases are expensive endearments. Whether those extending them include the Chinese government is anybody’s guess. But whoever they are, they want something in return: Low tariffs.

Which may mean Trump’s price for dropping his hugely costly fantasy of resurrecting William McKinley will be not better behavior from China or Mexico or Canada on trade or border crossings or fentanyl, or even Canada becoming the fifty-first state. It may be that Trump is running a straightforward protection racket on his billionaire new best friends. Is that an outrageous accusation? It is. But tell me with a straight face he wouldn’t try it. Trump is NOT honest Abe Lincoln.

Do you hear how pathetic you sound right now?

First off, everything here is purely alleged since not one single person supposedly involved is speaking up or even named.

A.K.A. - Very, very likely pure fake news.

And secondly, why the hell would you think that Trump would consider any free money he scammed out of rich Chinese businessmen on a fake fucking meme coin rug pull as some sort of leverage a moron he scammed out of money thought they had on him?

Do you honestly think that Trump would have a single ounce of respect for somebody this stupid?

If this actually happened, that's fucking priceless.

That just means he fucked some Chinese businessmen personally before he rawdawgs the Chinese government.

Also, what you didn't think about is giving Trump credit for only putting a 10% tariff on China.

While it may be true that we spent roughly $430 Billion on Canadian imports last year and China only beats that by $106 Billion at $536 Billion, that's hardly the whole story.

The sheer amount of goods we get from China from every single sector of the economy with that $536 Billion is STAGGERING, and it would be an overnight tragedy for every person living here, let alone for Trump and his agenda if a trade war with China were to start.

While still important, that $430 Billion we give to Canada buys us a hell of a fuck ton less both in weight and in usefulness.

Reason #1 for that is China uses slave labor while Canadians get paid roughly what Americans do for the work.

Reason #2 is China's pollution on any given day is so thick you could cut it with a knife, and Canada is at least as regulated (and expensive) for business as we are.

You are a simple-minded, joke of a human being. You probably don't understand anything that I just wrote to you here.

And then, it should go without saying... What the fuck is Canada and Mexico really going to do? The only answer is cave, which they both did in near record time.

Justin is a little boy who needed a good ass kicking. Mexico is a crime-ridden shithole of a place to live and their government is a fucking joke.

China is an adversary.

I for one am appreciative that Trump curbed his impulse to be The Bull in the China Shop.

Also, at the end of the day now, 2 of the 3 world powers Trump threatened tariffs on have made conciliatory gestures to the point where there is at least a 30 day stay on those tariffs.

It should be assumed, especially with how fast the both of them caved right after Little Justin was pissing and moaning about how he was going to be a big boy and fight, that they find the current terms and costs to their own country a price worth paying to keep the tariffs from coming at them.

My guess is that if they came to Trump with that offer as quick as they did, that they've got a whole hell of a lot more they'd be willing to part with to ensure that the tariffs don't come at them long term.

Why is Trump winning every one of these almost overnight?

Because everybody else playing the card game has a hand so weak that even the most gullible of fish wouldn't believe them if they tried to bluff their way out of it.

What a lot of people forgot in this world is that most of them need America a hell of a lot more than America needs them. And it's been FAR too long since we've had somebody in office who wasn't afraid to remind everybody of that.

This is called negotiations.

And so far, not a single dime in tariff money has been levied or collected from any party on any side in any country.

We're just going to start getting a fair deal now is all.

6ixStringJack, you are such a fucking idiot. Trump is selling $Trump e-coins for $billions. These are bribes, you fucking moron. And the coins are bought by anonymous purchasers, that is to say, billionaires who want a favor from Trump. That is not the only weird ass thing Trump is doing in the White House:

'Delay, whine, lie, blather, wince, repeat': Latest Trump question time stuns onlookers
https://www.rawstory.com/trump-press-conference-2671082168/

Donald Trump just criticized the existing trade deal, and asked, "Who the hell came up with some of these trade deals?" Trump was the one who signed the "new NAFTA" trade deal during his first term.

Trump claimed that 300,000 Americans die annually from fentanyl overdoses — even though Trump's own executive order on tariffs to China cites 75,000 deaths from the drug.

Trump is again doing that weird thing where he signs executive orders that need to be explained to him just before he signs them.

Neither the mainstream press nor our political system seem to have digested the fact that the U.S. president is trying to illegally annex a NATO ally (Canada) using economic coercion.

He has no idea what Elon is doing. He let loose Elon to go wild. Musk is running the government. Trump is a feeble figurehead.
