  1. Trump landed in Beijing on Wednesday for perhaps the most important visit of his second presidency. While his rhetoric on protectionism to revive the US economy remains the same, the world and China have both changed much since his last visit. We explored this further in today's HT Number Theory.

  4. theguardian.com/business/2026/. This is very bad news for #US #monetary #policy & #inflation, & will be bad for the future of the US #dollar as an #international #trading #currency. It seems #Trump & the #Republicans are determined to add currency #war to #trade & #tariff war. Paul Krugman speaks today of the "Apotheosis of Willful [sic] Ignorance" (paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the). This #appointment is a classic example of precisely that.

  10. "A constitutional crisis is not a #policy preference. A wannabe #dictator is not a #tariff schedule. The reframing of #Jan6 as a day of love is not on the same ledger as the marginal tax rate. To treat them as if they are, to price them in, to bundle them — this is the cognitive operation that produces the #German conservative intellectuals who voted for #Hitler in 1933... It is the move... that has been recognized as a move that should never be made again"

  11. Y’all remember the tariffs? I know it’s hard in the firehose of kakistocracy to keep track of all the stupid things #47 has unleashed, but the insane #tariffs that the Supremes said he couldn’t do.

    Today is the first day to file for refunds if, and only if, you paid tariffs directly, as a company, to the US Customs office. Individuals are not included in this tranche of refunds. This is the first attempt to refund the more than $166 Billion dollars Trump illegally extorted from American businesses.

    Consumers and customers are still fucked though. Sucks to be us, we’re the only ones who won’t be made whole.

Ruling by Judge Richard Eaton offered some clarity on the murky process to recoup tariff costs, which could take years to play out. finance.yahoo.com/news/live/tr

  13. Homey don't play that tune! Time to start cutting Tariff refund checks!

    A federal appeals court refused to delay implementation of the Supreme Court ruling that invalidated most of U.S. Administration tariffs, clearing the way for the U.S. Court of International Trade, to begin the process of crafting relief for the small businesses impacted by tariffs.

    Rock Star lawyer Neal Katyal, one of the attorneys representing the small businesses before SCOTUS, said his team "will be proceeding immediately to get the refunds Americans are owed." cbsnews.com/news/federal-appea #Tariff #Refunds #TariffRefunds #SCOTUS #NealKatyal #Appealscourt #Lawsuit #FederalTradeCourt

  15. #CBP said in a message to shippers on its Cargo Systems Messaging Service (CSMS) that it will de-activate all #tariff codes associated with Trump's prior #IEEPA related orders as of Tuesday.

    The IEEPA tariff collection halt coincides with Trump's imposition of a new, 15% global tariff under a different legal authority to replace the ones struck down by #SCOTUS on Friday.

  16. #Trump's latest diarrhea "truth" about the Gordie Howe #bridge, and how he wants to block its opening until (paraphrasing) he owns half of it and (literal quote) “the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them, and also, importantly, #Canada treats the United States with the #Fairness and #Respect that we deserve” can have only one response:

    "Fuck you, Donnie."

    If the #Canadian government negotiates with the #USA over this... if we even dignify it with a response, as if it was a reasonable concern ... if we, as a country, do *anything* that even hints at his #tantrum being any kind of #reasonable argument, then we have failed.

    "Fuck you, Donnie."

    #Bullies don't understand anything except pushback, and when they get that, they fold.

    "Fuck you, Donnie."

    That should be our position on every demand he makes and every overwrought complaint he vomits out into the #MAGAsphere.

    T: "Canada's treated us badly."

    "Fuck you, Donnie."

    T: "Canada better keep buying the #F35 or they'll regret it!"

    "Fuck you, Donnie."

    T: "Doing business with #China, we're not going to allow that."

    "Fuck you, Donnie."

    T: "Canada's going to have to cooperate with us on my fabulous Golden Dome."

    "Fuck you, Donnie."

    T: "I'm going to #tariff Canada!"

    "Fuck you, Donnie."

    He's going to do what he's going to do. He can't be reasoned with, he won't honour his own word so you can't trust any "deal" with him.

    "Fuck you, Donnie."

    The #Australian #dollar has jumped above US70 cents this morning for the first time in nearly two years.

    The #currency has #surged by nearly US10 cents since almost dropping below US60 cents in April last year.

    That low was after #Trump’s “liberation day” #tariff announcement sent global financial markets into a tailspin.

    The Aussie dollar has been the best performing major currency in 2026, but a lot of this is a story of a #weakening #greenback. #auspol #economy #USPol #TrumpRegime

    #WhackoTrump threatened a 25% tariff on a slew of European countries including Denmark, #Germany, #France & the #UK – until the US is allowed to purchase Greenland, in an extraordinary escalation of the president’s bid to claim the autonomous #Danish #territory. #PaddedCellTime #USPOL #auspol #TrumpRegime #DementedDon

  19. That was the plan all along...!

    Expert: Analysis shows Trump tax plan “taking money” from bottom 95% and “giving it” to richest 5%

    "This is an enormously redistributive tax plan from low- and middle-income families to the wealthiest Americans"

    By Tatyana Tandanpolie
    Published October 8, 2024

    Excerpt: "Former President Donald Trump's proposed tax plan would create tax cuts for the nation's top 5% of earners while leaving the rest of Americans to shoulder tax increases by 2026, according to a new analysis.

    "The report, released Monday by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (#ITEP), found that enacting Trump's tax proposals would offer the richest 1% of earners an average tax cut of over $36,300, while the next highest 4% of earners would see average tax cuts of nearly $7,200. The remaining 95% of Americans, however, would see average tax increases, spanning from just over $600 to nearly $1,800 depending on where they fall in the country's income distribution.

    "With just under a month left before Election Day, the ITEP analysis offers a comprehensive look at the combined impact on Americans of all the GOP nominee's tax proposals should he reclaim the White House and implement them. While Trump has boasted about these tax policies' money-saving potential in appeals to everyday Americans on the campaign trail — especially his broad-based #tariff proposal — ITEP researchers concluded that the projected tax changes would hit working-class Americans the hardest while disproportionately benefitting the wealthy."
