While little LIBERALS like you nerds were making memes, PATRIOTS like me knew our president wouldnt forget about us

Trump on Market Crash: Well, I mean, it is to be expected, this is a patient that was very sick. We inherited a terrible economy.

yea put them down!!

So I think I will preemptively say this since some people have posted about Trumps whole trade war thing working.

So the big one.....

"What if he's right and industries will move to the US?"

It is extremely unlikely because of a few things:

'You can only build a massive factory if you know those tariffs are here to stay.'

That means the USA will have to keep those tariffs for a long time. Building a large factory like one that can employ thousands of people takes several years, training those will again take years. We can look at the TSMC plants that were built in Japan took 3 years to build and get going. This means those tariffs that incentivize capitalists to move production have to do so because they know that those tariffs will be there for 10 years.

Even with a 50% tariff it will still be cheaper to import than to produce locally.

I feel like this one is self explanatory but like I'm sorry but the only way those factories come back is if the USA increases its prison population, aka its pool of slave labor, at least tenfold. Something which I doubt the USA can actually do, not because it lacks the capacity for cruelty but simply because it lacks the capacity with all the gutting of the government.

Once counter tariffs start the US' own industries will get hit hard.

The US currently imports iron to turn it into steel, Iron imports are already part of those tariffs so now the cost per iron has gone up by 50%, making it more expensive to produce which cuts into profit margins which are further cut into because other nations will just tariff US steel back, essentially this hurts any industry that needs to import to start producing much more than the people in government probably think.

I mean effectively shutting down trade means that the US economy will have less goods in the economy per worker.

That means US workers will be effectively poorer even with a job in the absolute best case scenario that is not going to happen. Which once it starts to crystallize will get the hogs out and yelling about stuff and unless Trump does do some fascist grab of power, he'll lose pathetically to some democrat called Chak Tham Greenly because Trump didn't deliver the treats. Which means those tariffs are on a 4 year timer.

So with there being a 4 year timer most companies and capitalists will see the writing on the wall if Trump continues. What I think is that a lot of capitalists are currently deep in denial but that torpor will only stick around for so long, and as much as it pains capital to leave the current hegemon it's not like capital always was centered around the USA at one point it was centered in London, capital will move and make it's new nest somewhere else.

Edit: I should also add that the TSMC plant was ONE plant and not a total reorganization of their economy and again about a thousand people, magnitudes smaller than what Trump is trying, and with construction goods readily available and not being you know also tariffed.

US airstrikes continue on Yemen for the 20th night in a row, with airstrikes reported in Saada Governorate.

There has also been simultaneous Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon, Gaza and Idlib, Syria. A Hamas official and his family were reportedly killed in Lebanon, the strikes in Gaza are the most intense since the resumption of the genocide. Little information on Syria.

I'm expecting information on strikes in Yemen to be more sporadic now, since the latest Ansarallah advisory to Yemeni citizens not to discuss ongoing airstrikes, enacted yesterday.

Text reads: Warning...

Filming airstrikes serves the enemy.

Operational Security is very important. Do not serve the enemy in good faith.

Further messages said: We call on all our fellow citizens in Yemen to strictly prohibit photographing the airstrike locations and not to talk about them on social media. With co-operation, we protect the homeland.

I'm seeing some people say Vietnam just got really screwed. Is there anywhere I can read about this?

American Troops Threatens Danish Labour Laws

In Denmark the union 3F warns that an agreement between regimes of Copenhagen and Washington to establish American military bases in the Nordic hermit kingdom will lead to social dumping and underpayment by exempting the bases from Danish labour laws.

Under the deal, the U.S. military could outsource tasks like construction, cleaning, and catering without adhering to Danish wage and working conditions. 3F argues this violates International Labour Organization (ILO) conventions mandating that public contracts should align with local labor standards. They fear the agreement sets a harmful precedent, allowing foreign workers to be exploited under American anti-worker regulations, exacerbating existing issues of social dumping in Denmark.

FH, the national conference of trade unions, criticizes the deal as unfavorable to workers but deemed it too late to influence. The nation's rubber-stamp parliament is set to pass the agreement on April 11.

That's how you end up with Heard and McDonald Islands having 10% tariff

Heard and McDonald Islands 0.058879-0.013589=0.04529, its in millions so $58,000 in export and $13,000 in imports (but since base rate is 10%, it doesn't matter U.S. has a trade surplus). maybe someone bought some scientific equipment and brought it back?

Edit: turns out it was just misclassified

While everyone's enthralled by Trump's performance, the entity bombed another school killing dozens including children

“ Islamic Resistance Movement - Hamas Press Release:

The heinous massacre committed by the occupation army when it bombed the Dar al-Arqam School east of Gaza City, which sheltered thousands of displaced people. The attack resulted in dozens of martyrs and more than 100 wounded, the majority of whom were children and women. This constitutes a new brutal crime through which the fascist occupation government continues to target innocent civilians, as part of its genocidal campaign in the Gaza Strip.

These heinous crimes—committing brutal massacres, escalating forced evictions, imposing a policy of starvation, and closing the crossings to all necessities of life—are the elements of genocide defined under international law. They are being perpetrated by the war criminal Netanyahu and his fascist government, with criminal American political and military cover, making the US administration a direct accomplice in its perpetration.

The unjustified international failure to play the required role in stopping the genocide and holding Zionist war criminals accountable is a stark expression of the collapse of the system of values ​​and laws that the international community has long championed, in the face of the horrific crime committed in the Gaza Strip, in full view of the world.

What is required today from all international actors, and from our Arab and Islamic countries, is to break the silence and take immediate action to halt the horrific massacres against civilians and the humanitarian catastrophe being created by the fascist occupation in the Gaza Strip. They must work to hold Zionist war criminals accountable and prevent their impunity. Thursday: 05 Shawwal 1446 AH Corresponding to: 03 April 2025 AD”

Whose idea was it to tell Trump that trade deficits somehow = tariffs? What do they get out of it?
