The import taxes are ultimately paid by consumers, and the tax cuts mainly benefit the 1% (who don’t spend much on consumer goods from China).

Have to agree, that’s a very cool song and I’ve never heard it before. Who is this? I like the line, “God is good, God is great, God’s a big invertebrate.” Ha ha… gotta love it.

All their songs are good, mostly not as cute as this one though.
The huge peaks and valleys in the market are not helping my blood pressure any. That’s part of my retirement/emergency fund. Every time he says some stupid shit like this that causes the market to tumble it just gives me one more reason to hate him (as if I didn’t have enough reasons already).
The most terrible aspect is if he did like literally nothing at all, the market would be in much better shape. Every time he opens his big stupid orange mouth hole I see a chunk of my money disappear.

Ian Dury’s “I’m the Blackmail Man” works a treat.
Except Paul had a tiny modicum of charm.

Truth. While that is not the actual dollar figure. I have been in fact seeing large loss days followed by modest gains. Overall I (and the majority of people) are seeing themselves down when it comes to financial goals for the year.
The massive gains we saw over the last few years were the direct result of Pres Obama.

The one upside to this is that all of the neolib rich jerks who’ve been saying “okay, so he’s a racist, fear mongering moron, but at least he’s the best friend of Wall Street and he’ll make our stocks skyrocket!” have nothing to cling to anymore.
But yeah. Eight years of building a retirement cushion have pretty much been set on fire in the last eight months.

Tariff Man
She packed my bags last night, pre-flight…
Orange jumpsuit, nine AM…
And I’m gonna be high as a tweet by then.
I screwed the earth so much, I grabbed my wife:
It’s lonely in this place,
On such a timeless flight…
And I think I’m gonna serve a long long time
When Mueller brings me down, and then they find
I’m not the man they I think I am at all,
Oh no no no… I’m a Tariff Man!
Tariff Man, tweeting out his ass up here alone…
And I think I’m gonna serve a long long time
When Mueller brings me down, and then I find
I’m not the man they think I am at home,
Oh no no no… I’m a Tariff Man!
Tariff Man, tweeting out his ass up here alone…
Mar-a-Lago ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it’s cold as hell
And there’s no one there to raise them if you did…
And all this science I don’t understand…
I just go golf five days a week…
A Tariff Man, a Tariff Man!
And I think I’m gonna serve a long long time
When Mueller brings me down, and then I find
I’m not the man they think I am at all,
Oh no no no!
I’m a Tariff Man!
Tariff Man! Burning out his fuse up here alone…
And I think I’m gonna serve a long long time
When Mueller brings me down, and then I find
I’m not the man I think I am at all,
Oh no no no!
I’m a Tariff Man!

I imagine it being more like Duff Man; but without the charm.
You’re right. It’s a signal that we are almost certainly going to slip into recession within a year.

He did. I really hope he was a decent guy, but I’m not all that confident about it.

I hope the SEC is carefully monitoring his and his children’s investments. Now that he’s shown he can make the market move radically with a tweet, is there anybody who doubts he or his garbage family would attempt to use that to their own pecuniary advantage?

Not really a “man.” More of a pumpkin headed creamsicle.
