Yeah, it's almost like race isn't biological or inherent or makes any sort of sense and is just a set of social divisions created for political reasons.

How long until it's openly acknowledged that Trump's mental capability has declined? It's becoming really hard to ignore. This is really at a fine line between functional illiteracy and full on word salad nonsense.

No even that will be denied so long as he sticks to some republican talking point. But if his brain rots in such a way that he thinks its 1994 again and he starts talking about how much fun at the golf course he had today with President Clinton and he gets agitated at everyone for daring to tell him not to say that, so he slips a few more compliments about democrats just to stick it to them, well then the whole Sinclair and Fox talking point wall comes tumbling down.

Sometimes I think he's just using his phone's Next-word suggestions to do his tweets. When I use mine it also comes up with garbage sentences, except mine hasn't been trained by years of trump tweets.

I'm sure that they have had a list of generic tariffs in their back pocket for ages, just in case something like this happened.

Probably because they have an actual government(something, something, forever President Xi) running things. With an actual advisory council who research effective retaliatory tariffs and such. Unlike ours, which probably just pulls lists off Wikipedia.

It's a little fun to watch. China has more to lose than the US, but it would still hurt American growth and maybe even tip us into a recession. So right now everyone's still throwing their punches and not saying or doing anything that they can't take back.

Most of Trump's popularity is still tied to the economy racism so he would just crater if growth went negative more minorities could vote.

10+% down from its peak is pretty significant. Not as bad as 2008 where it was free fall but 2% up/down days certainly aren’t normal.

Right, its probably going to keep dropping till its re-normalizes at like 20-18k. However individual days have been seemingly random and multiple times the premarket has indicated a drop and then it rallied by 9:45.

Can we stop putting things only in consumer terms? The steel building sector is huge and these tariffs are going to price-out many small to mid-size businesses for expansion and growth over the coming years. poo poo like that should be the main focus.
