I won't go that far, but it's border line financial ignorance not to fully understand Trump's overall strategy here through these reciprocal tariff announcements! Then to make matters worse, go on to predict calamity for our stocks when there's literally up to 6 trillion in new investment pledges already in the pipeline and more being added everyday!
Makes me think this whole thing (media hype) is just another giant "Covid like" scare scam.

They want to scare people to make it stop? Why? For the same reason they don't want DOGE conducting an audit on our Government. It benefits them and they don't care who got screwed as long as they got theirs.
I'm still waiting for someone to explain (if you oppose Trump's tariff policies) why we should be paying our foreign trading partners and/or competitors more than they pay us in tariffs...or why we should let them sell in our markets at cheaper tariffs than they charge us to sell our stuff to them? 
If anyone who's opposed to Trump's policies can explain that to me to where it makes rational sense, I might be more inclined to line up with the doomsday crowd predicting a roaring 20's style stock market crash and the next great depression because of these tariff policies?
I'm not seeing either, and like most Americans not infected with TDS, I can perfectly understand why Trump is trying to at least level the trading field for us and our companies making products for the rest of the World.
YES!!!! I am for free trade! However only if it's fair trade! Right now, IT ISN'T FAIR & I'm as tired of this country getting ripped off as Trump is! So that's why I support his policies to try & fix this system that's been rigged against us for years!
Anyone have any questions?

I think I can post this without some weirdo trying to hack my portfolio...but here's my investment house.
(I have a managed portfolio, and these folks manage it for me) For those of you into charts and graphs I'd highly recommend clicking on the link inside the one I'm providing here called "economic insights". Inside that link, are the hard cold financial analytics on key market segment indicators on everything from Agriculture to Zoology options!
The bottom line is my financial advisors are bullish on the future of stocks and the US economy, particularly with the flood of new money anticipated from these adjustments to our tariff agreements! It's the exact opposite of what we're hearing in the Praetorian Guard media.
So, if you're interested, look into some of these analytics, and understand the underlying strength of the investment market and the tremendous opportunities that are already available, or soon will be especially in segments like technology and manufacturing.

Economic Outlook 2025
•Adjusting conditions warrant some further cuts in 2025
•The data do not indicate evolving softness

The collapse of Bear Stearns in 2008, a major investment bank, was a pivotal event that foreshadowed the 2008 financial crisis, stemming from risky investments in mortgage-backed securities and a subsequent "bank run" triggered by investor panic.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Key Factors Leading to the Collapse:
- Risky Investments:
Bear Stearns, like many other financial institutions, heavily invested in mortgage-backed securities, particularly those containing subprime mortgages, which were considered risky.
- Leverage:
The bank had a high level of leverage, meaning it borrowed heavily to finance its investments.
- Subprime Mortgage Market Collapse:
As the housing market crashed and borrowers defaulted on their mortgages, the value of Bear Stearns' investments plummeted.
- Loss of Confidence:
The failure of Bear Stearns' hedge funds, which were heavily invested in mortgage-backed securities, led to a loss of confidence in the bank and a "bank run" where investors rushed to withdraw their money.
- Lack of Diversification:
Bear Stearns' investments were heavily concentrated in mortgage-backed securities, leaving it vulnerable to the collapse of the housing market.
- Weak Corporate Governance and Risk Management:
Some critics point to weak corporate governance and risk management practices at Bear Stearns as contributing factors to the collapse.
- "Too Big to Fail" Mentality:
The government's decision to allow Bear Stearns to fail, rather than bail it out, highlighted the "too big to fail" mentality of the time, as it was feared that the failure of a major institution like Bear Stearns would have a devastating impact on the financial system.
- Leverage:
This is the precursor to the coming "permanent" tax cuts. Lower interest rates means more lending and financial institutions making more loans (especially small business loans). Lower taxes means more liquidity for consumers to make purchases and that means more expansion for businesses offering goods & services. All that translates into more economic activity, which means more hiring, more tax revenue streaming into the treasury and less government spending & regulation which means more wealth being generated as a direct result of more investment dollars being freed up!
Why folks can't see this is beyond me. Why TDS infected haters refuse to acknowledge it is perfectly understandable.
They want me to fail atl, ain't gonna happen!
Run it DJT...you got 'em right where you want 'em!

He's right about this. I have pointed out how the game is played here. Do these Fvcking idiots not understand who knows this other than Tony?
They really think everyone is as retarded as they are.The Chinese Communist Party, North Korea, Iran (Persia), DNC, Open Society Foundation, Media Matters, Disruption Project, Rise & Resist, Indivisible Project, Troublemakers, Democratic Socialists of America Criminal, Vera Institute of Justice, Brennan Center for Justice, and thousands of other nonprofits and NGOs have tens of millions of these bot accounts. These 3 accounts included in this ridiculous post, for example, all trackback to the location in the 4th image. FYI—for anyone that wants the truth about the tariffs and the little bit of pain for a huge upside, learn the facts.

They're trying to create the false perception that Trump's tariff policies are unpopular and will result in America's decline. It is in fact the EXACT OPPOSITE! His tariff strategy is popular, and will result in America's resurgence as THE dominant Global economic power.
That's goes against the plans of the new World order Globalists/Socialists so naturally they are pulling out all the propaganda to try and stop it.

Folks it's simple:
Low cost energy + lower taxes on incomes and investments = higher wages, and more wealth generation.
More wealth generation = bigger investments.
Bigger investments means an expanding economy.
An expanding economy means more & better paying jobs which then brings in more money to the Treasury, which when coupled with lower government spending means reducing our deficits and eventually paying down our national debt!
No one in the media or in the Trump hating class will tell you any of this. However ALL of it is axiomatic.

An axiom is a principle widely accepted for its intrinsic merit, or one regarded as self-evidently true. A statement that is axiomatic, therefore, is one against which few people would argue.

the EU is wanting to play the FAFO 2025 game...
The European Union is imposing tariffs on $28 billion of US imports.

We should cut off their Russian gas supplies, and then charge them 4 times more for our gas than what they would otherwise pay. Pay us or freeze...damn EU Socialists!
The message is simple, for those who are ready to take a seat at the negotiating table and recognize that they will no longer be able to mistreat America, please come and join us. For those who want to retaliate after years of ripping this country off, we will not bend and we will not break.
