Trump threatens 100% tariff on the BRIC bloc of nations if they act to undermine US dollar
Trump threatens 100% tariff on the BRIC bloc of nations if they act to undermine US dollar
His threat was directed at countries in the so-called BRIC alliance, which consists of Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates.
Trump laying down the law and threatening devastating tariffs:
The green paper covered in slavers (ie. USD) has always been imposed through extreme violence.
You're on hexbear, you don't have to translate Maoist Standard English, we know what you mean when you say green SSlaver bills. It's always good to support mulitlinguals tho
Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.
The grand Chinese strategy for beating America. Do nothing, win.
ok comrades, this is our moment. people's lives are about to become massively inconvenient and/or they're about to be in peril, and this is the time where it's down to us or the out and out fascists. Lay the groundwork now, start saying shit like "our economy should be organized around getting working people the results of their labor." currently-comfortable people are going to start thinking about how the world works and it's our job to make sure they want to kill their bosses, not their less privileged neighbors.
I bet you he doesn't know that tariffs can go over 100%.
He probably thinks 100% means nothing gets in
If he knew he'd be saying "thousand" so he can emphasize the "th" and do his stupid hand motions
Someone float that idea to him quick
Trump is the pricemaster confirmed?
What does "undermine dollar" means?
How can someone from outside US undermine dollar?
intent to trade in non-dollar currencies
Really?
USA has spent decades at least violently enforcing the petrol-dollar. It's why they destroyed and continue to destroy iraq, libya, iran, etc. The USA can't maintain its extreme exploitation without it.
Trump: "If I see you peeling the bandage off slowly, I'm gonna rip it off real fast!"
Takes himself hostage “come any closer and I’ll shoot”
Screaming "You're not using enough dollars!" at everyone outside the country while I demand my friends and family only pay me in bitcoins.
"Trump threatens to nuke US economy as other sensible nations grin and rub their hands together"
Please tell me that Ireland is eligible to join BRICS, I just want one English-speaking country that doesn't have their heads up their own asses.
By all means, let the burgerlanders run their own country in the ground. Just makes leftist's jobs easier.
Ireland's economy is heavily predicated on it's allies and neighbors using them to dodge taxes.
I don't think you come out ahead when the burgerlanders go broke and McDonald's no longer has any dollars/euros to stash in your banks.
...were the accelerationists correct? Was the Beijing evangelical dad correct??
Tremendous outcome
The accelerationists are always correct except for the fact that advocating for worse conditions is abhorrent and disconnects you from the people whose conditions you just helped make worse instead of better. They will always be correct but it will always be a strategy that should not be undertaken because it will only harm the movement.
I've been grappling with whether I'm an accelerationist or just a pessimist. Because I don't want bad things to happen, I just keep correctly predicting them and looking for silver linings.
advocating for worse conditions is abhorrent
What if you're not advocating for them in a material way, because you lack any real input into your socio-economic future? What if you're just trying to claim you can see a silver lining in the face of an incoming storm?
And what if the folks in government and media and business who denounce "accelerationism" are the ones prosecuting the policy, while blaming anyone who looks at the catastrophic results and says "Maybe this will turn out for the best in the end" are secret foreign influenced enemies of the state?
Posadists get the last laugh
Any finance ghouls who can tell me what stocks I should be investing in?
i dunno.. last time i had a chance to get mega rich they fucked up all the rules (gamestop) to prevent it, so i have 0 faith that there is any winning move in the stock market unless you're one of the chosen
They didn't really change any rules for gamestop. It skyrocketed in value, you were just one of the schmucks tricked into holding the bag by talks about it hitting 1200+
Dan Olson has a good video
Crypto.
lmao! Oh wait, you're serious? AHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Trump: if you undermine the dollar, i will finish the job.
Real art of the deal shit right here
The Hermit Kingdom officially know as "The United States of America" further entrenches itself in isolation. Their supreme leader, a failed real estate "tycoon" attempts to lash out at global cooperation by increasing the cost of import goods, despite having no domestic production of their own.
Trump really is going to be the Nero of the American Empire.
He already did a Pizza Hut ad, he really wants to be American Gorbachev
Calling Trump the American Gorbachev is brilliant and we all should be using it immediately. Mostly because people in the west think Gorbachev was “good” and this highlights how the actually just murdered the USSR.
This is what I mean when I say Trump is better foreign-policy-wise
Based and multipolarity pilled
you gonna bark all day, little Donnie, or are you gonna bite?
He's not even in office yet. Can't start breaking things until you get your
into the China Shop.
Serious question - How serious do you think Trump is about all these batshit tariffs on Canada, Mexico, BRICs, etc?
In other words - if you use a 1 to 10 scale then ~2 is Trump doing minor tariffs while he lies that it "punishes" the bad countries. 10 is Trump seriously damaging the US economy in record time.
It seems like he's already going back on them with Mexico and Canada. I think he's using this to make a fake crisis and then he can have a meeting with global leaders and tell his followers that he fixed everything.
idk because he talks so much shit and is so full of shit it's hard to tell what he'll actually do, outside of tax cuts for the rich, that's an automatic.
it's gonna be the most boring option- a 4 out of 10. everything just gets gradually but steadily worse
As serious as he is with all of his policy: Fully committed to it until he talks to someone who he thinks is smarter than the last guy he talked to
He barely tried to do 1/4 of the shit he said he was gonna do his first term.
That he even knows about this dedollarisation narrative is concerning to me. I wouldn't dismiss it so easily and all that needs to happen is someone even slightly smarter next to him suggests sanctions instead of "tariffs" and shit starts getting quite serious imo.
Russia showed that being sanctioned by amerika is ultimately a good thing in the long term. Its not like China isn't just waiting with open arms to trade with all these countries.
In my opinion, if the biggest risk is the USA sanctioning a bunch of countries, then that's a great situation for the world. Both tarrifs and sanctions would sink the US economy even further while creating the conditions for accelerated global cooperation. If these are the two choices, the empire is finished.
The tariffs will happen, but if you donated to him, or are a subsidiary of a donor, your goods will be exempt. The highest tariffs are going to be on electric cars, for obvious reasons. So it'll fuck up things, the losers are consumers and corps that didn't pay him or enough, and the winners are Musk and similar
do it loser
Trump is the biggest fucking idiot dog, he legit has no understanding of the most elementary economic concepts
It wouldn’t be frustrating if millions of people didn’t believe that he wasn’t a billionaire genius 4d chess master
Do it, coward!
All the more reason to keep undermining the dollar.
The sooner it crashes, the sooner the world stops being constantly on fire.
He’s just gonna issue his own currency next right?
Iraqi Dinars
This guy is gonna commit economic suicide out of spite lmao
the famous actor we once knew is looking paranoid and now spiraling
Crazy. Scary. Spooky. Hilarious.
As long as BRICs nations take this threat seriously, this is great. It is a great incentive to develop a completely separate payment system.
[edit] And no need to have a BRICS currency! Just clear all payments in 50% of each side's own currency.
Lol. Lmao even
This will probably do the exact opposite of what he wants it to do. So do it, coward.
His brain is still actively in decline and by the time he takes office it's gonna be worse
Come on, do it asshole. I'm waiting.
Lmao peaceful dove Donald Trump
