Based on Trump 1.0, I'm not encouraged. One might argue that it's up to the congress, but Trump seems to be willing to sign whatever turd he is given.
I hope Trump can show for 2025 that the deficit is not greater than $1.9 trillion as it would be the first time since 2000 that the deficit did not increase (adjusted for inflation).

This means nothing, they can still undercut us even at 55% and nothing about all the IP they steal. They are playing long game.
This will not change the trade deficit at all.

They are already cheating on the REM access deal.

Not your term, but I hate the term consumer goods. Is it shit we actually need to consume? My guess is no. Everything is still on the shelf I need to survive and currently building a house. Let it drop 60%.
Also wasn't that the point of tariffs? Import less and if we need it here make it here? I don't need cheaply made Chinese crap at my age. Kids don't need toys. Oldest will need a car soon, used of course but will free up my life to start making some more money. All clothing is basically out of country so that's unavoidable. Maybe there are components on stuff I don't know about that were imported.
If I can put gas in my car, go out to eat or at home and have running water and sewer I really don't give a shit.

That’s only because there was an unsustainable run up in the 3 months previous to that with pull forward spending as everyone was worried about !Tariffs!!! It’s just come back into line if you look at the graph.

So, the political dweebs in Canada decided to put on a digital tax on US companies.
What the fuck did they expect to happen ???
Trump called off tariff negotiations with Canada and will let them know what their new tariff will be next week.

Shanghai index is stuck at 10 years ago. All GDP from China is a lie. The public is now hesitant to invest in Ghost Cities, Ghost Neighborhoods, and Hotels and Retail with no customers.
China's strategy of exporting its way to dominance seems to have been running out of steam to begin with; they are desperately trying to avoid becoming a domestic consumption economy and failing.

In Canada the government with its controlled media, whipped up Canadians into an anti-American frenzy. They pushed not buying US products, booed the US national anthem and even had its hockey team attack the US team. Nothing happened to deter the Fentanyl. Whay do you think is going to happen now that the month is up ????
In Mexico, there was a push for cartel friendly laws and a prohibition on using GMO corn (an American product). What the fuck do you think is going to happen ???
Their respective currencies are going to look like toilet paper and that's just the start.
For China. They didn't do anything about the Fentanyl, so they get an extra 10% tariff with the thought of more to come if they don't get a move on.
