Donald Trump the Megathread part II - mod warnings in OP, Updated 18/03/25

AOC stirring the pot. You love to see it.

The tariffs haven't hit yet. When they start to do so over the next couple of months Trump will have effectively added 10% to inflation. not just on imports but knock on effects on cost of production as well has price gouging by sellers.

Remember when we switched to the Euro a lot of prices mysteriously increased and blamed on the fact that the Euro nominal value was higher than the punt.

Sums it up I think.

20% for fentanyl?

But when Perdue make profit off opioids that's ok.

Messed up country.

Edit to add it's hard to see how they can avoid massive consumer inflation considering all the Chinese supply chains that US companies rely on. Plus wavering demand for US debt makes borrowing to absorb inflationary shocks more expensive.

Bonkers economic suicide.

I REALLY hope that any insider dealings from yesterday didn't sell, thinking it was going to keep going up, and get seriously seriously 🔥🔥🔥

so…im no expert and im guessing but to me it all looks kinda fcuked,maybe not quite proper fcuked but fcuked all the same…

im also guessing donnies money men/backers didnt lean hard enough on him,maybe they should try a swift kick in the nuts??

90 days? There's four years of "everyday is table flip day" ahead!

There's no sane members of the republican party. There's only the dumb and the dumber ones. Crazy and then psycho.

Oh there are still very sane members. They may be pretty right wing in social outlook and fiscally conservative, but this current lunacy is pushing the country over the edge and they eventually won't stand for it.

A lot in the party have been frightened into submission allowing the halfwits like MJT steal the limelight and set the discourse simply because the egotistical Trump loves the sycophants.

When corporate America, and most especially the old especially the old Military industrial complex, start feeling it then something will give.

As it is Trump has majorly peed off a lot of those that would have voted for him such as veterans and military personnel.

He is only going to be left with the diehard halfwits.

Much like China perhaps one can hope that members of the GOP are playing the longer game and letting Trump have enough rope to eventually hang himself once and for all.

People argue that China is far more dependent on USA than the other way around, but that is failing to understand how communist party and Xi thinks and what control they have over their country in comparison to Trump and his clown show.

Only problem is the amount of damage Trump will do to the rest of us.

Stock market crashing again so basically the financial markets have zero confidence in Trump. Weirdly the posters who were claiming things would be great under Trump are staying silent. Basically he's proven himself as incompetent when given free reign meanwhile the president who was accused of being senile maintained a healthy economy....

I don't think he is boasting there about making 2 B$ personally. I believe this is what he believe usa is making from tariffs daily.

He is not even close to that

Baffling that people can celebrate the realisation of how weak the US has become against China and continue to watch the US losing ground.

Now Europe running towards China looking for trade deals, seriously pure idiots 🤣 history will look favourably on those who push back against China now.

Baffling this is your take on it instead of castigating Trump for dividing the West with economically insane proposals, which further make zero sense in the context of trying to push back against China - while pushing the rest of the world away at the same time.

Trump and his MAGA idiots need to be humiliated and discredited at home and abroad and maybe some sanity and sense can be restored to the US and they can see who their real friends and real interests are.

The only people acting like pure idiots this week have been Trump and his stooges.

Versus a Trump who's cosy with Putin
