Trump's ego pushes the narrative that he's somehow a good negotiator & 'gets the best deals' from other countries.
Problem: 6 bankruptcies & no one's left that will lend him money. He only knows how to negotiate w/ dumb blunt instruments: Bribes & Tariffs.
Result: Zero actual trade agreements.

I can only assume that voters who think tariffs will help them are willfully ignorant. It's not possible for *that* many people to be *that* stupid!

Yup, until the US returns to its senses we should all be working around it.

The court ruling immediately invalidates all of the tariff orders that were issued through the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), a law meant to address “unusual and extraordinary” threats during a national emergency.
The judges said Trump must issue new orders reflecting the permanent injunction within 10 days.

How #Vietnam bets on serving the #Trump organization. Despicable, including land evictions—not particularly a thing the Vietnamese people fancy.

Video: Inside a Trump Family Project in Vietnam
As President Trump blurs the lines between politics and business — and threatens steep tariffs on trade partners — governments feel compelled to favor Trump-related projects. Damien Cave, Vietnam bureau chief for The New York Times, and Katrin Bennhold, a senior writer on the international desk, discuss how this dynamic has played out in Vietnam, at the groundbreaking of a fast-tracked $1.5 billion Trump golf complex.

"What comes next? Perhaps it shouldn’t be so hard to imagine, given the drift of what’s now called geoeconomics. Already, China commands global trade, and modeling from Bloomberg shows that, as constituted today, the tariffs will only add to the lead — pushing many more countries to work more with China and less with America. According to one model, 30 percent of American trading partners would fully recover from even total cessation of U.S. trade within one year; within five years, more than half would. "

Trump threatens tariffs on Apple iPhones and EU products
EU says threats should not guide trade talks as Trump says he wants tariffs of 50% on European goods as soon as 1 June.

They’re taxing the dogs, the people that came in, they’re tariffing the cats,” said Trump. “They’re not eating the tariffs of the pets of the people that live there.”

The power to levy tariffs belongs to Congress, but Congress has permit…

"The most effective countermeasure is simple: tariffs for oligarchs. Countries should tie market access for foreign multinationals and billionaires to fair taxation. As soon as Trump follows through with tariffs on Canada and Mexico, those countries should retaliate by taxing US oligarchs."

If you read the headlines or on social media, you’ve seen what’s happening.
• The career professional laid off after 22 years who can't get rehired
• The small business owner who can’t keep up with tariffs or inflation
• The young adult feeling like they’ll never be able to afford a home
• The retiree forced back to work after their retirement account took a hit
These aren't isolated incidents. They're symptoms of a fundamental shift.

"But Wall Street professionals, like so many other ostensibly smart people, refused to see Trump clearly, mistaking his skill as a demagogue for wisdom as a policymaker. “I don’t think this was foreseeable,” a mournful Ackman posted on X on Monday. “I assumed economic rationality would be paramount.” What an odd assumption to make about a man who bankrupted casinos.
Berezin thinks Wall Street still hasn’t come to terms with the cost of the nascent Trump presidency. “I do think that at this point we might have passed the event horizon, meaning that even if Trump backs off from the tariffs, there’s been enough damage done to the U.S. economy, to the global economy, to investor confidence, consumer confidence, that we’re probably going to see a recession regardless of what happens,” he said.""

Been thinking about getting a proper family computer, something more than the kids’ Chromebook and my wife’s old dying MacBook. A Mac Mini should be sufficient, right?

Tariffs equal more expensive laptops, which equals people opting for older machines, and older machines work terribly on Windows 11, but on Linux they work wonderfully, so Linux it is.
