Show me your receipts that show taxes paid by the business owner? It's a simple question, yet you and everyone else are stuck in your own stupid TDS to see it. Tariff is a tax on the business. I find it amazing that for years when conservatives pointed out corporations don't pay taxes their customers do, the left called that absurd. But now all of a sudden we want to make sure everyone sees the full financial burden imposed by the federal government?

This is just TDS, sir. J6 is not that big of a deal.

He wasn't convicted for said crime, was it rigged? Criminal record? Him paying for something that all politicians pay for? Sure it's a crime. I'm not gonna argue. Born to lose? He went bankrupt in the 90s and he's still big even before his first run as president. He's a person, he's not Satan. And fuck you for making me defend him. Gimme something we can both hate him for.

One thing you didn't factor in is that we have TDS on steriod. That means the fearmongering is way worse than you think and the fear can easily trasnlated into real economic impact which is really happening in all the survey (soft data) and even some hard data. Business are scared by all those reporting its like recession is happening right now. Watch TV and you will see its probbaly worse than the crash of 08 in the fall, like depression. LOL. Its funny at first, but its starting to get real impactful as time goes on. I'm seeing some hard data getting really awful level this week.

I know people throw around the term TDS a little too freely, but it's wild to simp for Amazon just because you don't like Trump. It's clearly a cheap stunt by Amazon to drum up support for their access to cheap foreign goods (which boosts Amazon's profit). If you don't believe it, just ask yourself why Amazon isn't breaking out any other cost component. You are also free to believe Amazon's "tariff cost" number is accurate, but you should still realize you are being played and manipulated by Amazon.

Tariffs cut three ways: they reduce imports, procure money to the importing government for the remaining imports, and they encourage production of the tariffed goods at home. Big tariffs will cut big time. However, you know and I know that 125% or 145% tariffs are not how this is going to end. This is the war phase, at the end of which there will be peace. Peace will cause all three effects above to happen, but not on a brutal scale as today. Trump is being his usual self, and if you read "the art of the deal" you know exactly what he is doing because he describes it in detail. He kicks your balls hard at the beginning of the negotiation, then he makes "concessions" by which you get only beaten with the stick. So the way it will end is that there are unofficial negotiations with China, the negotiations end with far lower tariffs, which are \*\*\*more or less the ones Trump wanted from day one\*\*\*. No year-long negotiations, no endless deep state sabotage. Bam, wham, thank you Winnie. China will say "we have resisted to the evil empire", the TDS people here will say "Trump caved", the stock exchange will explode, and Trump will get all that he wanted. You read it here first.

Immature Narcissism is an actual psychological prognosis, unlike the mindlessly parroted "Trump Delusion Syndrome." TDS is truly one of the greatest examples of mass projection in the modern age. Notice how its always the guys with all the Trump merch and flags plastered all over their property who scream it the loudest? When someone is flooded with Immature narcissism they begin to believe they are invulnerable, they don't believe in "risky." The tariffs do multiple things for Trump, one of which being increasing the wealth of him and his cronies. Buy the shorts before the tariff announcement, then buy the calls before he announced the pause.

Obviously you are right and the responses by the masses here on Reddit prove your point.

They have been predicting recession for 3 straight years-higher interest rates, inverted yield curve, the consumer is being squeezed, blah blah blah. Perhaps inflation won’t go up due to tariffs, the consumer won’t roll over, jobs continue to be created, trade deals get done, Ukraine/Russia situation improves, Gaza releases hostages, oil prices stay low, etc. if any of these things happen, it would be an upside surprise as the market seems to be priced for all bad scenarios.

Once again a TDS sycophant is unable to read what I wrote. And Trump voters are the stupid ones lmao? I didn’t vote Trump but you guys really are the exact sycophants you claim Trumpers are. The delusion and projection is kinda scary tbh. These are my points, I’ll spell it out since I guess your brain lacks the wrinkles   1. Trump isn’t any different than any other president. Market will go up and down. You can say this time is different but history isn’t on your side, you likely still have egg on your face from saying 2016-2020 would be different. In the scheme of things nothing ever truly changes. 2. Bitcoin affects the market and runs on a 4 year halving schedule. We are in the equivalent of 2021 right now. Wouldn’t shock me if we had one more big pump before the inevitable downturn, which following the same cycle will lead us to bottoming out in 2026 (equivalent to 2022). Last time everyone said it would be different. Too much institutional money. It wasn’t different. We crashed and bottomed out right on schedule (q1-q2 2022). They said it’s cause of Russia/Ukraine. But it was already written in the tea leaves long before that. So I am willing to bet this time will not be different either. History isn’t on my side if I said it was gonna be different.  So not betting against it. Stacking extra cash to buy extra dip during that time (still DCA’ing currently) So like in 2026 when we’re bottomed out because china invades Taiwan or whatever reasoning they give the masses, just remember me the random redditor who called it since last year.  RemindMe! 1 year

Well, apologies for the TDS comment (but it is very prevalent on this site). Here's a good article I think you might like: Part 1: President Donald Trump’s announcement of sweeping import tariffs has caused the expected ruckus in global financial markets. And rightly so. This isn’t some light policy tweak. It’s a full-blown trade regime reset. As of April 5, a universal 10% baseline tariff on all imports into the United States will go into effect. Days later, a raft of reciprocal tariffs—as high as 49% on Cambodia and 54% on China—will begin rolling out country by country. Predictably, investors didn’t take the news well. Headlines around the world screamed “global trade chaos.” But behind the noise, something remarkable happened in the bond market: the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield dropped, signaling a flight to safety and expectations of looser monetary policy ahead. And if you’re like U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, former Soros CIO and a prominent Trump economic backer, that’s precisely the point. Let’s get to what’s happening beneath the headlines. The mainstream financial press is chasing the obvious—but wrong—narrative. The Trade Imbalance That Was Always There The Trump administration's rationale for the new tariffs is “economic self-defense.” It argues that the U.S. has been a free lunch provider for global exporters while receiving little in return. And, frankly, they’re not wrong. Here's a rough snapshot of the tariffs other countries charged on U.S. goods before the announcement: China: 15–20% average, with some goods much higher. European Union: 3–5%, but 10% on autos, up to 30% on some agricultural goods. India: 17% average, up to 100% on vehicles. Vietnam, Thailand, Bangladesh, Cambodia: 10–25%, often higher on finished goods. Japan and South Korea: Lower nominally, but with heavy non-tariff barriers. Taiwan: \~6%, but often high in key categories like steel. In contrast, the U.S. charged low single-digit tariffs on most imports, and zero in some sectors. Trump’s move—especially the “reciprocal” element—aggressively attempts to rebalance this situation. Instead of endless trade negotiations, he’s opting for brute force: slap a tariff on everything, then tailor higher rates to specific offenders. It’s not subtle but might be effective. Why Scott Bessent Loves It The immediate consequence of these tariffs, outside of hurt feelings in Brussels and Beijing, is economic friction. Tariffs act like a tax. They raise prices, slow global trade, and typically spark inflation. Yet Scott Bessent, Trump’s economic whisperer and one of the savviest macro investors around, is thrilled. Why? Because higher tariffs = slower growth = lower interest rates. As equities sold off, yields on the 10-year Treasury yield dropped from yesterday’s high of 4.236% to 4.066%, an over 4% drop. In fixed income, that’s a big single-day move. That’s the endgame for Bessent, as lower rates grease the wheels for the real economy.

Mentions:#TDS#CIO

No TDS from me here. Just trying to figure out the end game here. Israel dropped their tariffs but US tariffs are still implemented and there’s no discussion of a trade deal in sight. It’s possible that one will eventually be implemented, but the delay is done to slow economic growth and hopefully lower yields. I’m fiscally conservative. Y’all might think I’m retarded, but JPOW himself said last week that we need to lower our debt or we are in for big trouble. He mentioned that we are not currently at panic levels. However at this rate, the government will soon not be able to pay the interest on their debt. I’m not saying I agree with this tactic, just my opinion of what might actually be going on.
