An article summing up the stupidity of the Trump/Navarro tariff ‘policy’.

Quote:
The White House has gone from clearly suggesting that there would be no negotiation on the baseline 10% tariffs to offering exemptions to the very products causing the deficit that the entire policy was supposed to solve.

This is a lot more than a "row back". Some have called in the "Art of the Repeal". The 4D chess has been replaced by someone playing one dimensional checkers, but unable to tell the difference between opposing pieces.

The US is now negotiating with the bond markets, and itself. The rest of the world will just see how this plays out now

A backtrack of phones and laptops in regards to his tariffs has seen him blink first in this

This dude is a peak bellend and world class liar. He was probably the worst trader at Citibank consider how little money he made relative to real traders and now he's getting rich off plebs buying his book while telling you that the govt should tax you more.

Very trumpian response from you but then I'm not that surprised. He may well be all that you say and may have only made 30m through trading, maybe he's written a book he wants to sell, but that last line takes the cake...maybe you should watch a few other of his posts, maybe I picked the wrong one, or maybe you just didn't understand it or bother to delve a little further but the blanket 'telling you that the govt should tax you more' is, at the least, disingenious.
For my part, someone who spells out clearly how the poor and the middle class are disadvantaged, unable to own a home etc and why/ how the wealthy make and retain the world's money, banks, govts and property without paying their fair share towards the overall economy is worth a listen to, if only to point out how morally (and figuratively) bankrupt it is.
But hey, you do you, I'm sure your mate thiel et al are grateful for your service (or is that servitude?).

Its far more likely he's a plant for Labour's push for wealth and estate tax. Plus his entire personality is an charade and carefully constructed character. He didnt make anywhere near 30m, just another one of his lies.

None of this is a secret. Its the capital part of capitalism. He makes the communists fatal error of assuming everyone is entitled to the same starting point of one, rather than zero.

Frank, excuse my ignorance, but can you please explain this? If everyone has the same starting point, why does it matter what number it is? Call it zero, one or a thousand - if everyone is starting there it's the same.

Because communists and socialists claim its unfair for families to start >0 and so it has to redistributed to make everyone equal. But you cant divide a number and remain the same, you always get closer to zero.
