Liberals Devastated As Stock Market Recovers

@Morvoren Last term, Trump was proud of 401K values increasing, which they did. Now, he's got them nosediving. He better fix this quickly. I've supported Trump, but I'm not going to just give thumbs-up to everything he's doing if it has an effect like this.

@graphite I understand. It’s tough but at least you haven’t abandoned your principles. Maybe he’s seen how crazy it is, he’ll spin some story about how he saved the world from financial ruin and then pull all his own ideas.

Then we can all forget the whole thing and get on with things.

@Morvoren nevermind the 75+ nations who came begging to renegotiate their tariff structure...always convenient to leave out the pertinent facts in lieu of the TDS narrative. Well done.

@BizSuitStacy Trump has made good points about other countries burning us with tariffs. But his plan to reciprocate is devastating 401K holders who have to helplessly watch their accounts take nosedives.

@BizSuitStacy Pure spin. He’s backing out of his ow craptastic plan.

@Morvoren Kind of looks that way. Does he halt everything for 90 days and then have the stock market take massive dives again?

@BizSuitStacy I’ll give you one chance,

Name five of the seventy five countries who came to renegotiate with Trump. Bonus points if you can give the details of the proposals.

If you can’t, I’m convinced you get your news from tweets and memes.

@graphite The fact is there are two types of Republican - those who love America more, and the who love Trump more.

You’re the first type which means you’re harder to fool. He might yet plug up the leaks. Hopefully so.

@Morvoren ooooh...gonna avoid my question?

China is the only economy large enough to actually do any short term damage to the US. So...why did Trump stick it to them?

Of course, you'll dodge the question again, repeat the narrstive because that's what turnip brains do when you can't think logically or critically.

BTW...Israel came to the table first, followed by Viet Nam. South Korea, Japan, the entire EU, Bangledesh, Cambodia ... and Starmer bent over dropped his pants and spread his cheeks for the Donald.

@BizSuitStacy I didn’t skip your question.

Trump is having his moment with China but otherwise he’s back out of almost all his other tariffs, because it’s plunging the dollar

You’re telling lies now. The EU haven’t renegotiated. In fact they intend to retaliate.

@BizSuitStacy Where is the list of these 75 nations?

I come up with about 5.

@Morvoren
Yeah you did, and you're still deflecting like a turnip brained coward. 🐔

Last chance...why would Trump back away from small economy countries, but challenge a super economy, like China, if he was backing down?

Put on your thinking cap this time.

@JSul3 try looking it up. It isn't difficult.

@Morvoren
Maybe you are just not paying attention. These countries have expressed an interest to eliminate their tariffs and come negotiate a final deal. They didn't retaliate and are coming to the table. There are no "details" yet.

Just in case you didn't know, there's a number of bridges you can jump off when this all works out in the favor of the American workers. 🙄

@BizSuitStacy The bond market crashing.....that is why.

@JSul3 ooooo...the bond market narrative. Sounds snappy, doesn't it. I hear lots of liberals using that narrative, yet have no clue about the debt market.

So...go ahead explain how the bond market is "crashing"

@BizSuitStacy "Was" crashing until Trump backed off his tariffs

Yes, the bond market experienced a sharp sell-off in early April 2025, driven by President Donald Trump's tariffs and the global trade war. This caused bond prices to drop and yields to jump, reversing the typical safe-haven behavior of bonds during market turmoil.
Elaboration:
Trigger:
President Trump's tariff announcements, particularly the imposition of tariffs on various countries, led to a surge in bond yields.
Reaction:
Bond prices fell as yields rose, indicating that investors were selling bonds.
Unexpected Behavior:
Bonds are usually considered a safe haven during periods of market uncertainty, but in this case, they behaved in a way that surprised many economists.
Impact:
The selloff in the bond market raised concerns about the stability of the U.S. financial system and the potential for a global economic slowdown.
Yield Curve:
The gap between yields on short-term and long-term bonds (the yield curve) widened significantly, a sign of market distress.
Global Concerns:
The bond market selloff also sent shockwaves through global financial markets, with other countries seeking alternative safe havens.
Trump's Response:
President Trump ultimately paused some tariffs in response to the market turmoil and concerns raised by market participants, according to the Washington Post.

@JSul3 nice copy and paste.

@JSul3 here's what your WaPo article doesn't explain.

US Treasury securities are still the safest investment in the world. What economic fundamentals point to US financial instability? No one has identified any.

Is there uncertainty with the tariffs? Yes. Did nations come to the table willing to renegotiate? Yes. Did Trump understand this? He's a real estate developer with MBA from Darden...yeah, Trump understands the debt market as well as anyone.


I know you want to believe the WaPo, because they suffer from TDS just like you.
So read what you copy and pasted and think about China.

China holds $800B in US Treasury debt. If Trump backed down from the tariffs due to bond dumping, why would he increase the tariffs to 125% on a country that could dump $800 billion in US debt?

Once again, you let yourself get sucked into believing a left-wing rag that has lied to you over and over again.

@BizSuitStacy Jeff Bezos is a left winger????
Lol

@JSul3 Amazon CEO in Seattle, owner of the Washington Post...ummm, not exactly conservative organizations, now are they? Donates to both parties, but leans left.

@BizSuitStacy Was standing with the other Uber Wealthy behind Trump.
The oligarchy.

@JSul3

@sunsporter1649 Not sure ol' Warren is pleased with Trump's. tariff war strategy.
