Donald Trump the Megathread part II - Mod Warning added to OP 10/1/26

Carney must feel he has a chance at winning by calling that election now. I hope he is right and it works out for him.

Lets hope it works out and the momentum keeps working in the Liberals favour and Carney is Canadian PM for the foreseeable. Clearly he is very knowledgeable from an economics stand point. I think he will do a very good job for Canadians and given his European connections can be a good bridge to Europe as hopefully the connections and co-operation between the EU and Canada can grow significantly in the coming years as a counter weight for both us and the Canadians to the US turning towards authoritarianism and the fact that neither of us can trust and or rely on the US any more.

You are confusing investment in companies with the investment that companies make. US companies will be very slow in investing outside of the US with looming trade wars, especially in manufacturing where the US was the target market.

So TSMC didn't just announce a $100bn investment in the US? J&J didn't just announce an investment of $55bn? Uncertainty will slow investment but if a company believes that the US are going to apply tariffs on imports then you they will have to consider investing in the US if you don't have enough production to supply US demand.

The key is to make the announcement so you can carve out an exemption to current tariffs and ride it out till the next administration.

As you say the key word 'announce', back in 2018 Apple announced $350 billion in investment, then $430 billion under Biden and now most recently $500 billion. In the case of Apple, they will say or 'announce' anything to get tariff exemptions.

Ah it’s propaganda, but you can only prove that with conspiracy theory. Sound, bud.

But…that’s exactly what he looks like. 😂😂😂

It's not unusual for people who have huge egos to have an over inflated opinion about their appearance. He probably looks in the mirror and sees an adonis looking back at him.
