China Retaliates with Sweeping Tariffs on U.S. Goods

China announced additional tariffs of 34% on U.S. goods on Friday, the most serious escalation in a trade war with President Donald Trump that has fed fears of a recession and triggered a global stock market rout.

China retaliates and Americans are hurt.

Who could have anticipated?

Everyone on the face of the plant except Donald Trump and his Flying Monkeys.

This is good news for anyone who shorted stocks anytime after election day because they knew that Trump was going to intentionally tank the economy.

Wonder who that would apply to...

When magats refer to "Hank tough" they might mean Tom Hanks kinda tough.

Even Covid couldn't take Tom down.

Of course they could be referring to Hank Hill and his tough approach to propane sales.

Depends on the context I suppose. Which is sometimes hard to distinguish with maga maroons.

Trumpers are hiding today.

I have a hunch they will be hiding for a long time.

And upon returning, it will be "Well I never liked or voted for Trump." (The JeffJ Method)

"Well I never liked or voted for Trump."

The current talking point seems to be that Lewzer's tariffs have had no actual effect, all the economic turmoil was going to happen anyway, and the timing is just a coincidence.

If our local crop of Trumping MAGAts prove anything, it's that they're still blindly loyal to Trump.

Trump first, America second is the Republican motto.

That's the talking point.

Only the most loyal Trumpers are buying that one.

Only the most loyal Trumpers

Is there any other kind?

This time the putrid orange pedo can't blame a pandemic for his cratering economy.

Speaking of loyal Trump supporters:

My brother's financial advisor and my financial advisor (different entities) both told us the same thing (we both got spooked by this) - this drop is a long overdue market correction and growth will likely resume soon.
I hope they both prove correct, but I don't have a crystal ball....

Yes, Jeff should totally trust the guy who is literally paid to convince him not to pull his money out of their company.

The Trump economic miracle just needs more time to work.
