  1. Yep. Almost everything will be impacted.
  2. I asked how many of the components in Teslas are made overseas? I really don't know. I hope a lot.
  3. I know. And we have maybe one or two embassies that buy a lot of shit on the local market. US shit. We don't ship in spare parts for our US made vehicles. We buy them a authorized local dealer and then go to the host nation and claim duty free status. Most times you don't have to pay in advance. There have been some. And in countries that don't like us already. Their will be an impact. I am not taking away from the situation in the bases. I am saying it will impact embassies.
  4. Meanwhile Midwest is getting Hammered by tornados. Wonder who won these states. Trump Tornados? Tariff Tornados from God? Shit is nasty. Some major cities in the way.
  5. We should merge this and the Tariffs thread. I mean, they are both his economy now.
  6. U.S. stock futures cratered as President Donald Trump unveiled sweeping tariffs of at least 10% and even higher for some countries, raising the risks of a global trade war that hits the already sputtering U.S. economy. Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 1,069 points, or 2.5%. S&P 500 futures dropped 3.6%. Nasdaq-100 futures lost 4.5%. Shares of multinational companies tumbled in extended trading. Nike and Apple each dropped about 7%. Shares of big sellers of imported goods were among the hardest hit. Five Below lost 14%, Dollar Tree tumbled 11% and Gap plunged 8.5%. Tech shares dropped in an overall risk-off mood, with Nvidia off 5% and Tesla down 7%. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/02/stock-market-today-live-updates-trump-tariffs.html
  7. Holy shit how this is going to mess with Embassies.
  8. Another posting on it.
  9. Rationale given is there is no trade with Russia due to sanctions. Same with Belarus and the NORKS.
  10. Which will kill the poors. Maybe now they won't be poors.
  11. Real question. How much of each Tesla is made overseas? I know they have assembly plants here. But the materials? The components?
  12. And more people showed up to applaud him
  13. You all are playing 3D chess. He is playing 8D. See, you invite all the billionaires back to the US and their companies. You know, t-shirt, widgets, etc. If non-US they buy for a Trump Visa and another bit for a membership to one of the resorts. Then you cut all the taxes they have to pay, and in investment deals. See, they will be bringing in trillions of, oh shit.
  14. What I am laughing at are the tariffs on some of the poorest nations in the world that buy very little US products. Bangladesh?? They export textiles and rice. Yeah, that will teach them (to only keep buying Chinese goods)
  15. And took out power to 200 homes.
  16. Cross posting.
  17. The flood lights. I mean, DC is dark at 4PM this time of year
  18. Reciprocal Tariffs. All cuz those foreigners. Yeah, forget the Americans who moved their companies overseas. Like the one that makes the MAGA hats in China. Jobs and Factories.
  19. Thank you. I read BBC in the mornings but pulled onto a call.
  20. I was going with jujubee consumption.
  21. Well shit. Get Vance to run as Pres. Ivanka as VP. Done.
