#Congress can stop these STUPID #tariffs immediately by passing legislation to rein in Trump’s tariff powers.

If I was a CEO, I’d be pulling out that list of politicians that I gave money to in the last election and turning the screws on them.

Of course there may need to be a veto-proof majority to pass this legislation but if the donation spigot is turned OFF, there might be a chance of convincing a more recalcitrant politicians.

#WallStreet rally evaporates as hopes wane for #tariff delays & *deals*

The S&P 500 closed down below 5,000 for the first time in almost a year following Tue's volatile session & a morning rally.

Investor hopes faded for any imminent #US delays or concessions on #tariffs ahead of #Trump’s 104% duties on #China imports starting at midnight.

#Congress #Trade hearing: Jamieson Greer, the US trade rep, defended the aggressive #tariffs imposed by #Trump in a hearing before the #Senate #Finance Cmte, pointing to requests from dozens of nations to strike new trade deals as proof the strategy is working. Financial #markets regained a *measure* of calm after 3 days of #market turmoil unlike anything seen since the early days of the coronavirus #pandemic.

The Democrats Won’t Acknowledge the Scale of Trump’s Tariff Mess

I see that #Democrats need to appease #unions, but this response is wrong. We need to say that felon Trump has no plan! Tariffs need to be applied surgically, not with a sledge hammer.

The Atlantic · The Democrats Won’t Acknowledge the Scale of Trump’s Tariff MessBy Jonathan Chait

“We've offered 0-for-0 tariffs for IND goods as we've successfully done with many other trading partners. Europe is always ready for a good deal. So we keep it on the table” -von der Leyen.

Trump on Mon: "The deal isn’t enough. I always say (the EU) was formed to really do damage to the US & trade -the reason it was formed.”

Outlandish rant is his way of saying, no, he won’t accept -a refusal that'll likely result in:🚨retaliatory #tariffs -as #recession looms.

If Americans can't afford your product b/c #TheOrangeMenace made them too expensive, foreign corporations will just look for customers elsewhere.

And *smart* countries (#China) looking to destroy the American economy (even more than #DonnieDumbass is doing on his own), they'll make it cheap & easy to sell in *their* country so that FEWER products are sent to the U.S., creating a shortage that causes prices to rise, tossing the U.S. into a deep #Recession. #DisasterPresidency
