    Trump appointed Judge issues TROs in Texas to stop the Trump admin from disappearing people to el Salvador

    There is a similar ruling coming from New York. The supreme court was clear on this, the Trump admin has broken the law

    Following the Mar-a-Lago dinner, the White House reversed course on H20 chips, putting the plan for additional restrictions on hold, according to two sources with knowledge of the plan who were not authorized to speak publicly.

    The planned American export controls on the H20 had been in the works for months, according to the two sources, and were ready to be implemented as soon as this week.

    The change of course from the White House came after Nvidia promised the Trump administration new U.S. investments in AI data centers, according to one of the sources.
    the most transactional administration in history continues to be the most transactional administration in history

    bets these investments will go the way of foxconn in wisconsin?

    But of course the question then becomes…

    If trump continues to have people disappeared… what happens to him? Anything? Nothing?

    Because if it’s nothing, but “oh technically it says here what you did is illegal!” then… what’s to stop him from nust continuing to do it?

    Judge Gives Trump Administration 3 Days To Return Her From El Salvador Prison

    The Onion has the best headline for situations like that

    But yeah we will see. In this case the administration doesnt have the support of the Supreme Court so we are deffo reaching a confrontation point

    The words honest and fair have the opposite meaning of how you use them, which makes your post incredibly hilarious.

    Tariffs are back to 10% for 90 days. Stock markets exploded.

    Dow Jones Index pumped 2,000 points in 5 minutes.

    Americans really base everything on the amount of money someone has.

    Based on the lack of respect that China has shown to the World’s Markets, I am hereby raising the Tariff charged to China by the United States of America to 125%, effective immediately. At some point, hopefully in the near future, China will realize that the days of ripping off the U.S.A., and other Countries, is no longer sustainable or acceptable

    So China will just sell their shit to the US through a proxy like Vietnam with 10% tariffs, and vice versa. Wow what an amazing turn of events, absolutely unbelievable.

  12. #105112
    The real question is if this will stay too!!!

    He has folded like a bitch on this one. No reason to believe he wont fold on the new round of tariffs

    You have no clue, do you think the counties would have been better off not being in the EU?

    Worth pointing that 10% tariffs are still pretty bad but at least its not the collective suicide he has been planning. Its going to part of the radiation poisoning we are being subjected to. Defunding of science, destruction of due process and destruction of state capability

    Trump is a weak, pathetic coward. He tried to bully the free market but he blinked first.

    Now I get to go to all my Alabama relatives, the ones saying "hey, if 170 countries all have tariffs they must be good things, right?" and shove this delay in their faces. They'll be fed an excuse by the usual sources (Russian bots), but they'll have to look for it.

    He can claim he's doing it as part of his duties as president. Making anything he does legal.
    His SCOTUS made that clear.

    So with this 125% tariff, other companies might be able to replace Chinese products, at a more expensive price. This will take time and will only work if guaranteed; tough luck with this presidency.

    90 days does nothing, sure short term it's a relief but everyone who source their products from China are fucked, China is Americas third largest marked, so everyone exporting to China is also fucked.

    Nothing will happen. China will just sell under Vietnam or whatever. USA will also sell to China under Vietnam. It's all puppetry, don't fall for it.
