Is Trump going to impose huge secondary tariffs in the next 36 hours on all countries (like China) that buy oil from Russia unless Putin agrees to a ceasefire?

OR

Just single out India like he did today.

OR

TACO.

  1. Who cares? The US is a failed state. It’s time for all sane nations to drop the US dollar for international trading and liquidate all US treasury bonds. A robust retaliatory measure to combat the destabilizing trump regime. Get in early! The US dollar will depreciate fast once the divestment starts.

  3. 47 will probably pick on India. Other than being a manufacturing alternative to China, India doesn’t have any cards like rare earths. Also India has been making bank on selling refined Russian oil to Europe.

  4. We're only hurting ourselves here. Everyone knows it that used to work on WS, or is currently. Transport yourself back to the last Great Republican Recession. You know when Larry Kudloow kept telling you on CNBC the train hadn't gone off the rails? Goldilocks Economy? Yeah, that's where we are.

  5. Or ignore that, and find yet another distraction like, oh, say Ivanka is due in December....or Elon needs more $$ again...or Taylor Swift posted some profane-laden tweet about the fat bastard....more?

  6. I think he’s going to throw his chubby makeup plastered hand in the air & pretend to saber rattle at China. Then in a day or so, after Xi’s spox freaks Trump out & puts him in his place, he’ll lie, say he got the best sanctions the world has ever seen, effectively backing down. And we’re back to 1️⃣

  7. Whatever idea his syphilitic brain throws down to his weird protruding lips will surely not make it to the bruised, makeup laden hands for at least 2 weeks.

  9. The only one being sanctioned (taxed) is the United States citizens who buy something from India. Russia should be sanctioned not India via U.S. citizens.

  10. Is he targeting India to cause friction in the Vance household? Or maybe b/c Kamala’s mother was Indian? Remember, he’s petty.

  11. Bold of you to assume there’s a coherent policy and not just vibes + ego + racism.Ah yes, the foreign policy doctrine of Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe—with a side of xenophobia.It’s not about oil, Russia, or peace. It’s about optics and who’s easiest to scapegoat that day.

  12. It is actually so crazy (and scary) that you could literally put ANYTHING after “Trump is going to….” and it will be true. That’s absolutely insane, but true.

    Good lord! There are pictures of him walking on the roof of The White House today? He is dangerously unstable. #JustSayin

  13. Probably TACO, but he is making a huge mistake singling out India, one of the world’s fastest growing economies. Even we Brits are begging for deals with them (especially after the idiocy of Brexit).

  14. TACO. - I hear he is on the roof of teh White House overseeing the reconstruction of the East Wing. The guy is a wing nut, and we all know it.

  15. The US gets lots of pharma from India. Recently trump said he's lowered drug prices by 1500% (umm, math is hard 🙄). Today he says he's raising drug prices by 250%.

    As an older person using more drugs, that's terrifying. One of my Rx has already gone from $10 last refill to $30 this week at Costco.

  16. Putin will agree to a ceasefire and right after bomb some civilians in Ukraine. Taco will announce that in two weeks something something.

  18. Oil is tricky for him, if Russia stops supplying then the shortfall needs to be made up by more production elsewhere and the price will go up significantly.

    His us oil masters would be happy but not so much anyone that drives an ice vehicle - all his base.

  19. Plus, Trump does NOT "impose" tariffs on other "countries" that don't pay the tariffs. The exporters pay, and increase their costs to account for them; the importers correspondingly increase the wholesale costs; the wholesalers increase the retail costs, and the consumers pay a national import tax.

  20. Putin knows a coward when he sees one, and Trump's the TACO he's looking at, just keep him talking. Tell Trump you're thinking about it but it calls for more discussions.

  21. I’m going with the TACO outcome, the bully will fold and rail against the World. If India and China take a Carney “can do”approach to trade and relations then US hegemony is done.
