Shitt is funny to watch. This tariff thing should have been done 40-50 yrs ago. The stock market correction was needed anyway.

Level the playing field Mr President. In about another yr or so, this is gonna be huge

The calculation for the tariffs is asinine and the market is reacting accordingly.

Maybe you should be in a governmental tariff think tank group rather than on this message board.

Are you wasting all that tariff wisdom? You could be doing some real good out there!!!

People freaking out over the stock market dropping must not pay much attention to it. It is always going up and down and up and down. It's a correction. It will not last long. As soon as investors realize everything is not doom and gloom, it will level out. This is short term and America will be better for it.

, the WH based the tariffs essentially on the goods trade deficit and then cut that in half.

You and I have spent more time talking about it than they did coming up with their numbers.

Instead of ad hominems, why not talk about the actual calculation? No. You won’t do that. It’s just Trump can do no wrong so whatever he says is golden.

The stock market will have its moments but some of the self inflicted wounds are tougher for people to stomach.

Yeah, but I don't give two shits about tariffs.

yeah...i think what you have is some younger generation punks who think they are day traders and are getting their asses handed to them. If you have plenty of time to go before retirement, then let it ride. The market has gone up steady over time, despite many corrections. If you are nearing retirement, probably put money in safer investments and wait for the correction, and then take advantage. It isn't rocket science. The best time to buy is when investor confidence is at a very low point, to where people think the market will hit 0 soon. Been doing this a long time....be smart, look for opportunities to buy (i.e., big corrections) and realize it will come back, sooner rather than later. If the market completely crashes, it won't matter anyway.

Have you not read anything about the announcement?

I have. It’s a one sided calculation of the trade deficit and then they took half of it and called it reciprocal. The White House and the administration laid it out after the announcement and it took them 30 seconds to come up with it. I’m 100% serious.

ETA: I’m a fool because I took Trump at his word that reciprocal tariffs would be based on countries that tariff us. 15% tariff would be met with 15% tariff. Instead the numbers are based on the idea trade in goods should be equal while not even considering services. That objectively makes zero sense.

over time, the market has always gone up......always. Sure there are corrections, as there should be. But, get in young, utilize your Roth IRA's and/or 401K if applicable, invest with growth stocks, monthly, and watch it grow.

If you start playing the gaming of trying to time the market...that's on you.

Whether you agree with the strategy or not, you are a hyperbolic fool to believe “ it only took them 30 seconds”

You sound like a Manson Family member circa 1970 in your devotion.

To make that assessment, one would need to understand the foundational rationale for the "calculation."

read the calculation and tell me how much work went into it. The trade deficits were already calculated in previous reports. It took them longer to build the graphics than it did to calculate the “tariffs.” If you actually read what they said you’d come to the same conclusion.

I support reciprocal tariffs. That’s not what we got.

How do VAT, anticompetitive regulations, and misc trade barriers enter into that presumption?
