[Official] US announces new tariffs on most countries

Federal Court blocks most of trumps tariffs, ruling that he doesn/tdidnt have the authority.

So there weren't really emergencies such that the us needed safeguarding by trump by imposing tariffs. Seems like he was making that bit up. Penguin party!

"Seems like he was making that bit up."
Applies to pretty much everything he says.

Perhaps you missed my earlier post about the 7.5 million results when Googling news reports on "Europe economic growth" over the last week?
As I also said earlier, the facts do not care about your opinions.

Even with all the uncertainty about what tariffs will be implemented (and whether the courts will rule that trumps executive orders are constitutional), they're forecast to reduce us (and global) growth over the next two years. I guess trump/vance will have to blame "bidens economy" right up to the midterms.
"Global economic growth is set to be slower this year largely because of Donald Trump's US tariffs, according to a leading international policy group.
Worldwide growth is now expected to slow to 2.9%, down from a previous forecast of 3.1%, said the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
It blamed a "significant" rise in trade barriers for the downgrade and warned that "weakened economic prospects will be felt around the world, with almost no exception".
...
The OECD also lowered its outlook for US economic growth this year, from 2.2% to 1.6%, before slowing again in 2026."

Once again a plain example that shows protectionist policies don't work and ramp up costs for businesses and consumers alike. All this does is increase the difficulty of doing business with America and discourages other countries from trading with them.
Some of the countries affected by these measures are long terms strategic allies with the USA. Weakening your own ally economically, what a really great beautiful idea.

Musk doesnt seem to believe that tariffs/doge will (re)fund the tax cuts. Rather the tax cuts will be funded by adding to the budget deficit. The bill also allows trump to borrow even more money.
Musk calls Trump's tax bill a 'disgusting abomination'

"In a series of posts on X on Tuesday, Musk said that the "outrageous, pork-filled" spending bill will "massively increase the already gigantic budget deficit to $2.5 trillion (!!!) and burden America [sic] citizens with crushingly unsustainable debt"."
Also us manufacturing contracted for the third consecutive month:
Oof! Economic activity in the US manufacturing sector contracted in May for the third consecutive month, as factories were hit by a slump in export orders.

What are you about?
Was my statement in any way problematic or difficult to understand? I mean you're replied twice to it. Is English your first language?

You quoted me here from my post #785.
There I wasn't quoting you, I was quoting another poster.
I quoted you in post #786.
So how have I replied to your statement twice?

Good?

Play the ball, not the violin. Or something.

As my original post instantly disappeared. A shorter version:
It is hilarious to see Trump and Musk having this fallout.
And maybe, just maybe, Trump handing Musk the keys to the federal computers before their fallout was not a very smart move.

Musk and Trump fighting isn't really about the Big Beautiful Bill. Everyone knew Republicans would borrow trillions to fund their tax cuts. It happened during Trump's first presidency. It was clear in Republican policy circles in the run up to the election that it would happen again. Despite this, Musk was happy to bankroll Trump.
It is just two toddlers with massive but fragile egos falling out.
Now we have Trump stating Musk should lose his federal contracts.
Meanwhile Musk, after being given unprecedent access to government information, is insinuating Trump is a child sex offender.
