    Umm...Trump already TACO-ed on his China 100% tariffs increase over the weekend?

    Somebody made a lot of money on crypto by placing a very well-timed bet against it. Coincidence?

    John Deere, the emblem of American agricultural machinery, announced that it lost over $300 million in the first half of the year due to new tariffs — and expects total costs to reach $600 million by year’s end.

    He doesn't want Depression for his country, and neither do I. The U.S.A. wants to help China, not hurt it!!!"


    still too afraid to call out China for continuing to buy large quantity of oil from Russia​

    while too afraid to call out China, Trump ordered India tariff hike to 50% for buying Russian oil



    as it relates to India, this is the TACO move that trump is contemplating / negotiating

    Stellantis (Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge) investing $13 billion in USA manufacturing. The tariffs are working beautifully. Trump delivering for the American worker yet again. Trump is forging peace agreements abroad and lifting up the American worker -- what he is accomplishing is unprecedented in history.

    Stellantis' $13 billion investment plan in US wins nod from investors, analysts
    https://www.reuters.com/business/au...an-us-wins-nod-investors-analysts-2025-10-15/


    "This move is relevant and part of a wider path started by Stellantis to be more and more aligned to the new business environment drawn by Trump with tariffs. It's paying off," Fabio Caldato, portfolio manager at AcomeA SGR told Reuters.

    The investment plan was necessary "to mitigate the impact of US tariffs and relaunch brands that have lost significant volume in recent years," Equita analyst Martino De Ambroggi noted, adding the reshuffled spending "should result in limited changes to total capital expenditure."

    "The timing of this announcement possibly signals greater tariff comfort/clarity on the part of Stellantis management," TD Cowen analysts Itay Michaeli, Justin Barrell and Selina Liu, wrote in a note.

    Like the other countries not wanting to buy the latest US fighter jets, why would India want to buy anything American after Trump unilaterally started a tariff war (and raise those tariffs since India is buying Russian oil while ignoring China doing the same).

    Nobody cares about your little tiny points. You are missing the forest for the trees… and missing the GOLDEN AGE that is upon us. Trillions of wealth are being produced for all classes of Americans - with a special emphasis on the working class.

    GOOD DAY

    All a bunch of bullshit announcements. Apple just announced a major manufacturing facility in Vietnam after promising to invest here.

    All these corporations know how to play Trump and his cultists like fiddles. Promise big things but deliver nothing. Cult

    Working class is dealing with the worst jobs market in decades while seeing their health insurance premiums skyrocket while billionaires got a massive tax cut.
