More empirical evidence of Trumponomics fail. Brilliant sh!t pissing off our allies and bordering trade partners. Truly genius.

Don’t worry, toon knows where to find them.
From Bloomberg
The American economy roared into overdrive last month, delivering the strongest job gains since February. The report underscored other recent signs of strength, like robust personal income and spending data reported earlier this week. Indeed, by just about any measure, the labor market is very healthy. The unemployment rate for May was at lows not seen since the heady days of the dot-com bubble.

I'm not an economist but I feel that everything will be resolved and some will be lifted. Trump is doing this to strengthen negotiations and level the playing field.
Do not discuss employment numbers on this board. If you have evidence you're employed, I'll change that. You can send me proof via pm.
The economy is so awesome I don’t have to work. Thanks trump!
Watch his speech today. Just try it. It’s 27 minutes long. At the 8:00 to 14:00 part he clearly states multiple times the goal is zero tariffs and free trade. I dare you to watch it and address these specific things without your catchphrases.
“Goals” haha...results matter. So far, Humpty Trumpty’s MO is trade war, period.
I don't have the answers on this trade stuff, but it doesn't look like a great long term value so far. @Ponca Dan @CBradSmith ?

It's utterly bizarre watching leftists, who rioted for four days against the World Trade Organization (WTO) in Seattle in 1999, and started the Occupy Wall Street movement in 2011 -- suddenly endorsing neoglobal "free trade" trade policies promoted by Goldman Sachs and Citibank.
It's a little like the infamous Kendall Jenner Pepsi Ad -- it blended diabetes-causing, GMO sugar-drink with social justice.
Press play!!!

What do you want me to say that I haven’t already said dozens of times? Tariffs are bad, they lead to trade wars. Trade wars are worse. No one wins in a trade war. It a measure of which side loses the most. But be advised both sides lose. It would be like OSU winning a bedlam football game, but losing Spencer Sanders and Justice Hill to career ending injury. Who really won? Keep your fingers crossed that cooler heads prevail.
I mean.... it looks that way right now. It looks like a generally destabilizing thing right now.
Trump supporters soak up the MAGA protectionism like a sponge, even if it’s bad business - one of Humpty Trumpty’s most predictable traits haha. Conservative circle jerk with no payoff. Maybe one day this board will unfvck their collective heads from their asses, but not likely haha.
Carry on
Carry on
Isn’t it dreadful to think we have willingly given over our fate to these “leaders?” Think about it. If you were stranded on a desert island in the middle of the ocean with any one of these G7 presidents or prime ministers, would you trust them enough to rely on their ideas for your survival? Or would you trust your own instincts and reason, and tell them to pound sand? What is it about us that we give these people such power over our lives?

As in right now less than 24 hours after Trump rubbed his nuts all over Justin on worldwide television? You must be one hell of a litigator son.
Neither of you need to irrationally fear creative destruction. It's all gonna be okay.
The desert island metaphor is irrelevant to avoiding war. We're not picking coconuts.
You’re missing the point. The point is not one of us would turn over the fate of our lives to s single G7 “leader” in a one-on-one situation. Yet we drop trousers and bend over en mass. Don’t you find it a little curious why we do that?
By allowing our “leaders” to instigate wars and use us as the pawns in their geopolitical games, by paying onerous taxes, by meekly accepting that our leader will tell us with whom we may do business, by following regulations without so much as a whimper, by accepting that “you can’t fight city hall,” by witnessing our government tear children away from their mothers, housing them in glorified concentration camps, and shrugging our shoulders and saying it would probably be better to shoot them, shall I go on?
