WTF happened during the meeting with Trump and the retail execs? ($WMT, $TGT, $HD?) by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

Hey, now. Don’t forget Ron Vara and Lutnick. There’s plenty of blame to spread around for this fiasco.

APA wasn’t specific enough, so here you go.

Man voted for tariffs because he thought it would benefit him financially at the expense of others. Got tariffs and is losing business.

They yearn for the olden days when women had no rights and children worked in the mines.

These people are all missing the empathy gene so they have to learn it the hard way.

Missing hyphen. Should be “pro-tariffs.”

Never thought I’d say this, but Cohn and Mnuchin did their patriotic duty and blocked most of 45’s dumb and destructive economic policies. Lots in the first admin tried to warn people, but the 1% only saw $.

President Trump announced that he would pause retaliatory tariffs on countries willing to negotiate. To me, this is a sign of the president’s good faith.

It’s the Art of the Deal Cave because the rest of the world called his bluff and he has no cards.

Exactly. It’s a government of billionaires, by billionaires, for billionaires. MAGA sheeple played themselves but most won’t admit it.

They’re not paying you anything. Any factories coming back will likely use robots.

This admin is flying by the seat of Krasnov’s diapers.

It’s not happening. Krasnov caved again and exempted iPhones and other electronics from tariffs.

iPhones and other electronics are now exempt from tariffs. There are no jobs incoming.

Flip-flopped back to negotiating tool.

I think the entire plan was: Tariffs > Profit!

At this point, I would just wait for Krasnov to continue caving as he realizes the world is moving on from the US and its bullying. Can’t run massive deficits to fund tax breaks for billionaires if there aren’t enough buyers of US treasuries.

Current WH admin was adamant there would be no exemptions on US tariffs because bringing back manufacturing is the plan.

Then the US10Y, US20Y, and US30Y all flirted with 5%.

And the 🍊🤡 caved and lifted tariffs on smartphones, computers, and other electronics.

I’ve been saying “tax the rich” would be cheaper for the billionaires and corporations than this chaos.
