Trump tariffs and world trade

Interesting article on what is happening to, and might continue to happen to, world trade caused by Trump's willy-nilly illegal tariffs. Right in line with what I speculated might happen when all this started. 

Our MAGA friends thought the tariffs would bring countries rushing to make deals, something like 90 deals in 90 days—another complete MAGA failure.

Voices: Canada’s PM knows how to fight back against Trump’s bogus new tariffs | The Independent

"We shouldn’t have to get used to this nonsense, but with the US now a rogue nation, the latest twist in the tariff war has to be managed"

"With Canada on the front line of this economic warfare – not far off outright sanctions – it is only right to recall what Mark Carney, the prime minister of Canada, pointed out at Davos a few months ago.

"On the other hand, I would like to tell you that the other countries, especially intermediate powers like Canada, are not powerless. They have the capacity to build a new order that encompasses our values, such as respect for human rights, sustainable development, solidarity, sovereignty and territorial integrity of the various states.”"

"What has been striking about the tariff wars launched by Trump in April last year is that they’ve not damaged world trade as much as feared. What has happened is an adjustment in trading patterns rather than volume, with imports and exports diverted to countries still interested in the boost to economic growth and living standards that free trade engenders."

By the way, I'd like to point out, once again, the sheer cowardice of our MAGA posters as they all have faded away as Trump has continued to fail at everything he touches. Boiler, CharlesIII, Ignigo/Aaron, JDC, tom, etc.  Absolutely amazing what pussies MAGA turned out to be. Remember when they were daily Biden posters? Those were the days!

Success has may fathers, failure is an orphan.

Maybe we have better things to do like work instead of getting up at 5am and spending all day on a gambling web site arguing with idiots about politics

The optimist in me says most of you are staying away because you are ashamed by how your vote inflicted unprecedented damage to our country and governmental systems that it will likely never recover from.

You wanted to own the libs but you didn't realize the price for your lols would destroy the country. 

For the last decade or so, ever since the orange pig whom you adore and who is your master oozed down that escalator, you've had nothing better to do than tell us how that rapist, thief, and liar was so bigly wonderful and everything he said and did was a work of genius.

You favored us with daily Bleat About Biden posts, where you blamed him for everything that happened that you didn't like, including earthquakes and the price of kiwi fruit.

You used your refreshingly bizarre Tom-logic, supported with wackadoodle Tom-stats, to "bolster" your statements, always in bolded italics, because as everyone knows, that makes it all true.

In short, stupid Tom, you've enthusiastically supported the Trump shit show, even though you had to shame and embarrass yourself to do it. Are you finally getting cold feet? Buyer's remorse? Growing a spine? Growing a brain?

I mean, don't get me wrong. If you've decided to start making sense, I'll be the first to applaud.

and golf.

I play softball but I am a near legendary miniature golfer

Maybe everyone suddenly has better things to do after posting copiously about Biden for three years. When all your predictions of Biden's corruption being exposed and the glory of Trump's policies crashed and burned in front of all of you. You all disappeared. Or maybe you're all pussies.

Not that it matters, you're trying to deflect your cowardice by mocking me, but I post at 5 am because I get up at 4:30- 5 a.m. I have my coffee and read my news on my computer and then go about my day.

I don't expect a response from you because it sure seems like when I ask you a direct question, you disappear.

Would you like me to post my most recent direct questions that you never answered?

lol Thats the only golf I care for myself. 

As an interested listener and politically amateur style commentator, I can only say that the whole threats and here and there and deal and deal off are really for the birds. It's time to ignore that guy. I mean, completely ignor him, because all that he does is a complete failure. I would love to see how the U.S. plans to get out of the Iran desaster before it costs the next trillion dollars in debt for your next generations.
