When with the tariffs start making an impact on Americans?

Stock markets are tanking so maybe it has already happened.

I can't believe the orange blob said infront of Keir Starmer from the UK yesterday that the rest of the world pays the tariffs to the US....fu*ckin' hell... Starmer would have been laughing his tits off all the way back across The Pond.

When Lindsay Belle goes abroad, Trump will charge foreign government officials, a percentage increase in surtax for them to have access to her. That doesn’t bother the Saudis, but other foreign dignitaries will not like it.

He was busy with three boys of his own

Immediately, depending on the industry or sector.

Groceries (perishable goods) will be felt immediately.

Other sectors will be staved off from immediate impact, depending on surplus and whether or not a vigorous supply chain already exists. Even so, industries that target consumers’ disposable income will be forced to deliver tangibles and services very quickly, when adjusting for loss, while being forced to do it with a lot less.

Expect horrible quality for almost anything & everything, as well.

What a mess. I hope Canada takes this opportunity to develop closer relationships with other allies.

Stocks are tanking now

Fuck turmp

Now is this part of Project 2025 or direct orders from the Kremlin?

Pretty much either one

"To the Great Farmers of the United States: Get ready to start making a lot of agricultural product to be sold INSIDE of the United States. Tariffs will go on external product on April 2nd. Have fun!"

Yes.

R14, fuck all of the people who voted for Trump!

If things go south and get world class serious bad and Lyman I mean trump keeps playing best friends with the Russians then maybe a General like James Mattoon Scott might step up?

Not likely but not impossible

Recession coming folks. You’ve been warned!

Crypto too the biggest hit today

TOOk that is

Is there a tariff on China? I didn’t see it mentioned. They are a problem.

The tariffs will harm allies but at least the rest of the world won’t hate us so hopefully we can form new trade partnerships

I told you not to worry about farmers. They might be pissed if they lose their subsidies. I guess this is great for agribusiness too.

Trump has to spin himself out before we know the damage. No one seems to be challenging him on anything because they are too afraid. A couple more months plus a disaster or two and he’s kaput.

R26, are you insane? The farmers just lost their farms?

It’s about to hurt March enough to hurt the entire Q1 economic data, and when that comes out in early April everyone will more clearly understand we have entered the Trump 2.0 Recession.

How much did it cost to bail out farmers in tRump 1.0 ?

To review. The US federal government under Trump 2.0 wants to:

Give Eastern Europe to Putin

Occupy all of North America, from Greenland to Colombia

Let kids die of diseases

Let planes crash

Persecute enemies of the state

Destroy the dollar, replace with Bitcoin

End democracy and install autocracy

...and blame it all on the Democrats, R31.

In a way, it's good that President Musk is rolling all of this out so fast and broadly. Usually, it takes about 18 months to 2 years for a president's policies to take effect, so a lot of the really bad stuff doesn't come before the midterms. This go-round will be different. The 10% tariff on China is going to be felt in consumer goods in about 3 months, and just when the shock of 12% - 15% inflation hits, prices will go up again because of the delayed additional 10% starting tomorrow if Trump goes through with it; I'm hoping there will be a last-minute "deal" struck and he backs down. Otherwise, we're looking at an annualized inflation rate somewhere between 18% and 30% by the end of the year.

Produce will spike up very quickly. We import a shit ton of it from Mexico.

Right away- the question is, why the hell is he doing this. Is he so dumb that he thinks all manufacturing of goods will be in the US? Does he think it will increase revenue? Punish Canada and Mexico for what? Immigrants?

And his firing of Federal employees and taking down of departments is v literally killing peopke effected without make a buck in the Federal deficit. It’s really just a dictator’s power grab aided by an immigrant oligarch who is engaged in a quid pro quo.

Lordy the GOP is rotten (they know Trump is a con) and its supporters either stupid beyond comprehension or simply put their bigotry above all else.

Sorry for typos- without making a nick in the…

Charlie, think who‘s benefiting from all of this — and there‘s your answer.

R35

Yes Rose.

To think that all this chaos is being caused by one sleazy reality TV star who had no business ever entering the White House.

R35, officially, he’s mercantilist and because of that thinks only like a CEO of a failing company (something he’s well familiar with) Also, he’s on a power trip

“Lower prices aren’t fun for farmers,” said Aaron Lehman, president of the Iowa Farmers Union board. He led a virtual town hall meeting with U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, an Iowa Republican, Monday that ended shortly before Trump's post.

“Losing reliable trade markets is not fun for farmers"

I think part of the problem is Dump doesn’t know how tariffs work, and his supporters certainly don’t. Surely there must be a handful of Republicans in Congress who do.

Neither do people on DL. There’s only one reply that acknowledges that the tariff has any effect on people in other countries. On the thread about Canada and tariffs, there is zero recognition that the tariffs have any effect on Canadians and the Canadian economy. It’s incredible that there is almost a universal belief that tariffs will only hurt the U.S. The reality is that all sides get hurt.

One area where Biden and Trump found common cause—-the use of tariffs by their admin.

WTF man, I just checked my IRA, all fucking red!

Farmers may sell their products domestically, but look up where most of the potash they need comes from.

I watched something saying it will good for Asia. Good for them I guess

I think many on here realize that US tariffs will decrease its demand for goods from other countries, R44. Like the aforementioned Canadian potash - if US farmers buy less potash from Canada because Dump’s tariff makes it too expensive, then Canada experiences a glut. Both sides get hurt. And the effects are lasting. At a time when people are losing jobs and wages are stagnating, this will be a disaster for all countries if the war continues. Just when things were good after Covid.

Canada is already making deal with other countries to export raw materials, R48. There will be pain for sure, but if the trade war continues long-term, the US will be isolated, which is exactly what Trump and his voters wanted. Oh, well.

I'm tracking the price of the kitchen appliances I purchased in November, correctly anticipating this. I'll check in once a month to see how much they cost. They were assembled in Tennessee, but virtually all the components are imported from China (controls) and Canada (steel and aluminum).

[quote]I watched something saying it will good for Asia.

Fareed Zakaria called it a gift to Asia.

“What's going to happen is southeast Asian manufacturers, most many of whom are Chinese-owned, or the Chinese are using or using as a back door to get in, are going to be privileged here because there are no tariffs on Malaysia, there's no tariffs on Indonesia, there are no tariffs on Thailand.”

"[Trump] doesn't realize that what he's doing is actually benefiting China, benefiting Japan, benefiting Korea. And by the way, the American consumer pays the bill.”

china rejoices

I hope so, R49.

Dump thinks tariffs will encourage “American made” industries in the United States. But who has the money to start a business in a recession? And if the parts you need are expensive from tariffs then you won’t even try. I genuinely think Trump is a simpleton and all of the people around him are sycophants who are leading us to disaster.

fucking nuts

I agree with Doug Ford that we should cut their power

10 foods that will cost more. That'll teach the people who stayed home instead of voting.

Too bad it’s not all the fatass foods that will cost more

today

Do you mean a recession? We may already be there. Get ready for supply chain delays and empty shelves. I’m still not sure what they are trying to accomplish unless wrecking the economy and dollar is the goal.

Shipping costs are going through the roof
