But wasn't it to isolate China, or bring manufacturing back, or raise revenue for the govt. - now it's to reset the baseline & negotiate. I wonder what it will be tomorrow or in a week.

Bessent said it was to isolate China.
There’s more than one tariff.
When playing cards, don’t show your hand.
I said he reset the baseline.
How it all turns out remains to be seen.
Enjoy swirling.

If you can’t support this …
Vanity Fair?From last term a glaring portrait of why we get blanket pardons, blanket tariffs and blanket firings.

Explains a lot.
I'm still unsure of why these elite colleges, with millions to billions in endowments, get federal funding.

That's like asking why a dog licks its balls
. Yeah, yeah, in this case, they have to be enabled to do it. Makes no sense.
Have you tried calling Nancy Pelosi?
I just got back from working in Vegas for a few days, Crush. Thought of you when I spotted multiple signs addressing child trafficking.
Keep up the good work.
Have you reached out to Nancy Pelosi on that for a ruling?
So you think many of those people didn't lose money, too?
Oh shit... how much did your Vanity Fair subscription increase?

No, but we'll know if she did jump in ahead of time based on a tip off from someone (who do you think in the Trump admin is tipping her off?), in May when congress have to do their next financial disclosures. I'm not sure even her wealth would move the needle like that though.

Well, if they made money, then by definition they didn't lose money - that's kind of how that works.
Thanks bro
"Let me bottom line you on this tariff dance. Trump has just effectively committed the biggest rug pull ever on China.
Every other country on the spinning, very round rock is going to spend the next 90 days hooking up with American companies who are currently shitting down their legs wondering how they will survive getting their bits and pieces from China.
Meanwhile, the Chinese yuan, their currency, is going to plummet in value as China is forced to divest of US treasuries to try to stay afloat. China has a lot of mouths to feed and a burgeoning middle class that has gotten used to steady work and steady pay. The people are going to be very angry at the CCP for taking the bait.
By the time the dust settles there will be new supply lines established, and all of those other countries will have raised their hands for low reciprocal tariffs to support their new trade deals. China is going to be left begging for the business back, but once a new supply line is established those who abandoned Chinese supply will be reluctant to make a second change for a while.
What works once will be assumed to work again, which will leave China with the executioner's axe hanging permanently over their neck.
China will likely settle back into its groove, but not without a significant reduction in industrial influence and an increase in internal turmoil. Maybe they will even stop stealing our designs.
