suspending the 50% tariff

 This time it took Donald Trump literally 72 hours to change his mind and revert again the increase in tariffs because the Europeans were quotation mark “not negotiating”.

Donald’s fundamental problem is that he’s made promises that he’s negotiating with “200 countries” on new tariff agreements his biggest problem of course is that it’s four leading trading partners Have indicated that they are not actually currently negotiating with the “orange one”.

China, Canada, Mexico, Japan, and the European Union account for nearly 90% of all of America’s imports. When all of them indicate that they are not currently in negotiations With the White House, clearly Donald Trump is lying. Not that it really matters because the disciples of Trump believe everything he says without questioning.

However, after saying for nearly a month that he’s about to close another deal, eminently, and then nothing happens. He starts looking like an idiot.

fundamentally, none of this matters. Trump doesn’t actually care about trading. It is completely irrelevant to his reality, but not to his discourse that America has been robbed. He will insist that even Canada has been robbing America and has nothing to offer the United States that it needs. The truth is irrelevant because when your negotiator and chief doesn’t care, then no one else needs to care either it is all for show for entertainment and for his base to keep them happy.

Trump‘s only real desire is to keep his people happy so they continue in, loving him and Adulating. Donald Trump has always been about the performance. He has always been a performer, the substance is irrelevant. The performance is the goal.

So, if the performance is everything, what does Donald Trump want? Adulation and applauses that’s it. By continually changing the conversation, and never getting into the weeds, Donald Trump‘s ensure that issues are only addressed at the surface or complexities never occur.

Suspending tariffs for another 40 days does nothing in reality. No one in his right mind believes that Trading negotiations can occur in 40 days. The truth is the.” Agreement” With the United Kingdom is just a memorandum of understanding, following months of negotiation between the US and United Kingdom.

The truth is, that for A mechanist like Donald Trump tariff are a tool of taxation, other than income tax, or capital gains. Even in his small mind, Donald Trump knows that a daily change in the economic landscape ensures that no investments can occur. Donald Trump is not looking for a transformative economic landscape, he’s looking for revenues that he believes will be sufficient to overtake or even replace income tax. “ Make the foreigners pay” Is his motto.

The European, the Japanese, the Canadians are all talking to each other and they’ve all probably come to the same conclusion that even having an agreement with the United States right now is pointless because the next morning Donald Trump can change his mind all over again and impose some new tariffs based on some slight or fentanyl.

The end of Tesla?

 it takes a special kind of idiot, to think that he can antagonize his entire customer base, and think that it will not impact his business. When Elon Musk went to work for Donald Trump, and created the doge department, he antagonized every liberal, and these people represent 90% of his client base.That’s not a brilliant move. Now Elon Musk is worth hundreds of billions of dollar, so he shouldn’t care a great deal, however, he needs to care because of several other issues. The cyber truck has been a disaster, most have had to be recalled because of defective glue, it’s not a truck, it’s not a car, it’s noisy, relatively uncomfortable, but great as a development platform. What Tesla has learned in making car manufacturing more seamless is truly amazing. The problem was that Elon Musk was so pissed with the Democrats, and with Joe Biden, in particular because of some slight, which were just plain stupid too. By the way, that he decided to support with hundreds of millions of dollar, ...

Donald Trump‘s bad bargain

 The entire of 2023 and 2024 when Donald Trump was running for the White House, his mantra was no war, that the Ukraine conflict would be resolved in a day, and that he would do everything not to involve America and war. How the world has changed! He finds himself facing three conflicts; Ukraine, still going on almost 5 months after he became president. Gaza, an unspeakable crime against humanity, is obviously going to go all the way to its bitter end. And finally, Israel’s attack against Iran. It’s important to note, that Benjamin Netanyahu first indicated at the United nation that the Iranian were 3 to 5 years away from having the nuclear bomb. He made that statement in 1995. Therefore, no one is surprised that he uses the same two lines every so often. It’s entirely possible, that 30 years after he first announced it, that Iran has finally developed the bomb. It’s also remarkable that Iran, local power has been destroyed, from Yemen, to Syria, via Lebanon and Gaza to small exten...

TACO again, but worst!

 Donald Trump got the rare earth metals that he had thrown away on April 2, liberation day as he called it. What did the Chinese get in exchange? The whole deal, is on the wrap right now. But let’s be clear. It’s the Chinese that have the upper hand.Some of the materials made by the Chinese, are simply unavailable anywhere else. suspicions are that the Chinese got the high-end chips that they lost under Biden. Tariffs will probably return to the level of April 1, and in the end Donald and his friends got nothing for it. It gets worse, Chinese exports to United States are down 40%. The Chinese have found new markets, I probably never gonna buy American grain again. Once again, Donald Trump proved he’s a great negotiator. He got absolutely nothing for his Showmanship. He told the world, that everyone would come and kiss his ass, instead they’re laughing At him. There’s no joke about Donald Trump, a 25 and inherited a huge fortune and proceeded to make it a small one. Bottom line, the...
