[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As per the cnn headline looks like its working "Europe says it is ‘ready to negotiate’ with US as stock markets tumble"[/quote]

Yes and when the police negotiate with a bank robber that is also success. Or a terrorist. Lots of success. So much success. When are those gd penguins getting in line to pay off Orange S*itler and get their tariffs lifted.[/quote]
So, when the US  finally pushes back and gets Europe to the negotiating table, is that a bad thing?

For years, countries like Europe and China took advantage of one-sided trade deals and free access to US markets. Trump didn’t create that imbalance, he challenged it. Tariffs were a way to apply pressure and gain leverage, not to make friends.

Now that Europe is ready to negotiate, that’s not failure, that’s results. If he hadn’t taken action, they wouldn’t even be talking. Like it or not, Trump forced them to the table—and that’s what effective trade policy looks like.[/quote]

Listen up - short term leverage is very different than stability in the long term.  Nobody wants to partner with an Ahole they have no trust in.  Also, there's already tariffs in place that's gonna hurt - prior to his crazy psycho tariff day. Lastly, small business is backbone of this country.  No way they make profit on margins moving forward, and oh by the way whether anything favorable gets negotiated or not, prices on anything even US products will get higher because market will rise when there's no options for products and no US infrastructure to offer better prices to consumers.

He didn't actually base his tariffs on real tariff numbers but the trade deficits so I'm not even sure negotiations are legit as far as determining what's long term! It's a lot of volatility coming no matter how you slice and dice.  Negotiating short term is not a victory![/quote]
