Summary

Trump had to reverse his aggressive tariff rhetoric after CEOs from Walmart, Target, and Home Depot warned of empty shelves and higher prices due to supply chain disruptions.

Investors reacted negatively to his threats against Fed Chair Jerome Powell, prompting a market sell-off.

Trump backtracked, expressing optimism on a China trade deal and now denying plans to fire Powell.

Global markets remain volatile, and the IMF cited Trump’s trade war as a “major negative shock” to global growth.

    We are going to hate this president until the day he dies, then many of us will be making plans on how to best piss on his grave. That’s not a metaphor. Logistical discussions reveal that in order to avoid an indecent exposure charge a bottle must be used to hold and pour the piss.

      They’ll probably hang up security cameras and send whomever does it to a prison in El Salvador (once you open that door, it’s not going to get closed, just look at fucking Quantanamo Bay)

          Could we start some kind of piss bank, where we all deposit say a pint a week, and then periodically, a tanker arrives and empties 12000 gallons at a time.

        I’m not even kidding. I will wear a damn MAGAT hat if it gets me close enough to do it. I’m also not going to just hit grass, that masoleum/tombstone is gonna smell like piss.
