Trump on tariffs: 'I know what the hell I'm doing'

Asian shares sank again on Wednesday as the latest set of U.S. tariffs, including a 104% levy on Chinese imports, went into effect.

The sharply higher tariffs kicked in after midnight Eastern time in the U.S., even as investors have no idea what to make of President Donald Trump’s trade war.

On Tuesday, the S&P 500 dropped 1.6% after wiping out an early gain of 4.1%. That took it nearly 19% below its record set in February. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 0.8%, while the Nasdaq composite lost 2.1%. Uncertainty is still high about what President Donald Trump will do with his trade war.

More swings up and down for financial markets are excepted given the uncertainty over how long Trump will keep the stiff tariffs on imports, which will raise prices for U.S. shoppers and slow the economy. If they last a long time, economists and investors expect them to cause a recession. If Trump lowers them through negotiations relatively quickly, the worst-case scenario might be avoided.

Dude, you bankrupted a casino. That's like bankrupting a money printing machine.

Tariffs are taxes on imported goods, and businesses pass those costs onto consumers through higher prices. When Trump claims China is paying billions in tariffs, he attempts to obfuscate the reality that American companies and consumers bear the financial burden. It is basic economics that U.S. importers and households pay the bulk of these costs, leading to increased prices for everyday goods.

Having Rump in the Oval Office is like being tied to a chair and watching a toddler walking around with a loaded gun in hand .

Toddlers don’t “ know what they are doing .”

Btw, Tillis is STILL losing in 26 . You can bet your 401k on it .
