It will hit hard once markets realise that Trump is serious about tariffs. There will be repercussions if the US isolates itself from international trade.

[brittneyk]

He puts a tariff in. He takes a tariff out. He puts a tariff in and he shakes it all about. He does the Hokey Pokey and he turns his self around. That’s what he’s all about! 🍊🤡

[tyberwhite]

This tariff game is the epitome of a clown show.

[RumRunneerFilms]

Why no offer to make China the 51st State?

[thejeffinvade]

The fact that President Xi hasn't called Trump since the inauguration who is eager to deal, tells a lot already.

[HorrorAlgorithmx]

Makes for great TV, right? Maybe Hulk Hogan and The Undertaker will come out and discuss tariffs next!

[Bballing]

Joe is so sensitive. All Steve said was he disagreed. LOL. They are not expected to agree on something as complex as markets and tariffs. This generation or world is so sensitive these days.

[JudeyCat]

Wow looks like the Florida guy can’t take disagreeing opinions

[DashkinBeniquet]

It’s so frustrating hearing these guys trying to rationalize Trumps actions. There Will Be No Clarity After April 2nd!! Something else will come up. Uncertainty is what he brings.He will do the same thing for the next four years. He has squirrels in his brain.

China:You keep the tariff, we don't need the dollar
Trump: We can talk

[Dmindthinker]

I’m trying to be objective, but it really comes off as a person that doesn’t think his ideas through. Like he just say stuff and see what happens.

[HelloAutoCarz]

Meta is still -$100+ down! Analyst are very deceptive! Market is still in all time lows

[Wongseifu]

Lol literally he keeps dangling fruit like this. When will people realize promises from a snake oil salesman is worth less then nothing

[williamschablowsky]

Great discussion, those two guys should have their own show

[reaganleslie]

This guy repeating New York Times lies is pretty crazy.

[junxu]

Let’s not forget Trump increased the national debt by 40%, making him rank 6th of all presidents in terms of their contribution to the debt.

[alexsoccer]

They always call him Weiss, not Steve. Very unpolite on the show

[jeffheinzel]

Trump putting in a national sales tax with his tariffs

[sallywhodo]

Of course he’s offering flexibility. The tariffs are not going to happen, he just want’s to come off as a strong man who ultimately saves everyone (from his hairbrained tariffs).

[donaldlee]

Strong against the weak, weak against the strong
