50 nations have contacted
the White House.


And President Trump has warned China to lower
their 34% Tariff
Or he may double there's



[Trump threatens an additional
50 percent tariff on China
taking effect on April 9th.

'All talks with China concerning their
requested meetings with us will be
terminated!'
the President added in a
post to Truth Social.

Trump has already imposed a
34 percent on Chinese products coming
in to the US, taking the total duty
on Chinese imorts to over 54 percent
when taking in to account already
existing tariffs.
Beijing retaliated with a 34 percent
tariff on US imports, a move Trump
labelled a mistake.
An additional 50 percent surtax on Chinese
goods would take the total levy to around
100 percent.]

As it happens I have lost the log-ins for both my work pensions so I think I'll just let them stay lost for a few years, I'd rather not know . My separate investments are in the absolute gutter though, Donlon Trusk and their tariffs have cost me about £2k in the last 5 weeks .

It's all just "theoretical money" to be fair, I wasn't going to cash any of it in any time soon, so it can always rebound and as above all that matters is the longer term but ... still grim to look at on a screen.

I feel most for people with 401Ks and such, but I've never felt 401Ks to be as secure as other retirement options. We were eventually going to get this kind of American wild west-style government where someone comes in and takes a hit with the sledgehammer to the system (which was begging for it). It was very inevitable with our cultural sentiments. With our economy being top-heavy, we're already used to rich folk being fickle with their money. I prefer they be fickle with the markets rather than it turning into mass layoffs and people losing work en masse. So there's that. It will delay/impact many people's retirement, absolutely, because 401K is the common option which is the unfortunate part. SSA payments going up this month will at least help offset it some.

So amid all the hysteria, a majority of Americans support what President realDonaldTrump
is doing and how he’s doing it.

Not even vaguely close to what the poll question was, it was "do you believe that Trump has too much, too little or the right amount of presidential power". Absolutely nothing to do with agreeing with his actions. Believing that he isn't over-stepping his power boundaries as president does not imply agreement with his chosen actions.

People who got their educations in schools and universities rather than on a billionaire's hobby-website generally understand the distinction.

Crashes the stock market then gives his buddies the heads up to buy stock before halting the tariffs for 90 days. Absolute shambles of a person.

This thread has been very quiet this week.

All the amazing things he’s doing you’d think his supporters would be celebrating.
