Looks like the tariff mess is spiraling out of control.

Trump has screwed the pooch on tariffs. God help us.

1. WH clarification: the 125% on China is on top of existing 20% so total is 145%. That's a trade embargo. . . . nt

6. Maybe it will be a good time to buy at the end of the day.

Can you imagine if a dem president had made a comment like that, much less then the market shot up afterwards? The hypocrisy is just mind boggling.

7. trump is now lying during Cabinet meeting saying people like the way he's running country, no inflation, etc.

It's a beautiful thing, should have done it years ago, yesterdays market results were perfect (not mentioning today), etc.

What a joke.

Trump China Tariffs Now at Least 145% as Trade War Ramps Up

President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Chinese imports are now at least 145%, far above the level many economists said could decimate US-China trade. 

Trump is imposing a 125% charge designed to both counter America’s trade deficit with China and punish Beijing for retaliating against US import taxes. The number, published in a White House memo Thursday, comes in addition to a 20% levy put into place earlier this year over China’s role in fentanyl trafficking.

10. If there is a "God",

clearly it doesn't give a flying fuck about any of us.

[Sky Jewels]

11. I'm glad there is no god.

Because if there actually were a magical sky fairy, it would mean that it caused or allowed the Holocaust and other genocides, wars, famines, diseases, natural disasters, slavery, etc. etc. etc. ... I wouldn't worship that psychopathic murderous asshole even if it actually existed.

Oh, wait, I forgot. God is "love."

Probably China, between hacking the entire US infrastructure (AGAIN!) and selling treasuries, going to be a rough ride.
