Trump warns of 1929-style crash if Harris wins

Reminds me of this...

Except if America skipped ahead of David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson and went straight to Liz Truss.

French President Emmanuel Macron called on Thursday for European companies to suspend planned investment in the United States after U.S. President Donald Trump announced sweeping global tariffs on American imports. "I think what's important, and that's all the work that must be done by sector, that the investments to come or investments announced in recent weeks should be suspended until things are clarified with the United States," Macron said during a meeting with French industry representatives.

Macron said no response had been ruled out yet and suggested using the anti-coercion mechanism, responses targeting digital services and looking at financing mechanisms of the U.S. economy. Macron called the tariffs "brutal and unfounded" and a shock for international trade, and that Europe must respond "industry by industry".

April 3 (Reuters) - The U.S. dollar sank against major peers on Thursday, dropping to six-month lows against the euro, and the safe haven yen and Swiss franc, as investors grappled with how U.S. President Donald Trump's far-reaching tariffs will impact global trade and economic growth. The harsher-than-expected tariffs announcement sent shockwaves through markets, sinking global stocks and sending investors into the safety of less risky currencies, bonds and gold, fearing that a full-blown trade dispute could trigger a sharp global economic slowdown and fuel inflation.

Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Thursday that Canada was "ready" to lead a coalition of countries that believe in free trade and global cooperation following U.S. President Donald Trump's global tariffs. "If the United States no longer wants to lead, Canada will," he said.

Liberation day is turning out to be liberating everyone else from America.

"Destroys the economy"

Hours later: oh well, time for some golf with my rich buddies.

I hope all democracies of this world fight back against Trump's USA. Make him pay for what he has done and afterwards congratulate him for his latest win in a golf tournament.

Could it be, some in Congress are suddenly remembering that the Constitution gives them the power to regulate the activities of the Executive Branch?

I won't believe it until I see it. And even if it passes, I'm skeptical of its enforcement. In a sane world, they would make it clear to Pam Bondi that her job, and possibly her freedom, are in jeopardy if she doesn't do what Congress tells her to do.

Trump tariffs will "have a real and detrimental impact" on games industry, says US trade group

Trump imposed wide-reaching trade tariffs earlier this week, with some of the highest levies targeting countries which also happen to be critical centres of video games hardware manufacturing. Vietnam, for instance - where much of Nintendo's hardware production now takes place - was hit with 46 percent tariffs, while China's reach as high as 54 percent.

Speaking with Game File's Stephen Totilo, ESA senior vice president Aubrey Quinn said the increased costs associated with these tariffs "are going to have a real and detrimental impact on the video game industry". Quinn also noted the way parts are sourced and devices are shipped means, "Any one product that a consumer would buy is likely to be subject to many of the tariffs announced, all compounded on top of one another."

The situation could also worsen, Quinn suggested, as countries affected by the tariffs begin to take retaliatory measures. "I think what we heard yesterday is not the end of the story," she added, "not for the United States, not for other countries." 

There've also been fears Switch 2, which is priced at $450 in the US, could see its cost eventually rise to as much as $600 if impacted by the Trump administration's tariffs. However, Ahmad argued it's "unlikely that Nintendo will raise the price of the console at this point, but it's also unlikely to see a price drop in the next five years."

Back to Quinn, though. When asked if video game manufacturers should consider producing more goods in the US to lessen the effect of tariffs, she concluded, "I think every company, every industry... needs to think about what's best for consumers, best for business, and best for employees. Supply chains are complicated and, certainly, supply chains don't change overnight. Everything that is considered or decided can't be a quick turnaround and can't be a knee-jerk reaction to any particular announcement."

Trumps Tariff against Australia is nonsensical.

We have no trade barriers or tariffs against the USA. USA has a trade surplus with us.

And Trump LIED when he said we banned American beef. We haven't. We have stringent biological controls in place to protect our unique ecological systems... They adhere to those checks and balances and they are welcome to sell here, it applies to everyone.

Either way, I think the writing is on the wall world-wide, where the world will focus more on the world... And less on investing in the USA.
Europe is the largest market on the planet and has already indicated it will make such maneuvers.

No point in trying to make sense of any of the tariffs, they're all made up bullshit calculated with the use of AI chat clients.
