I missed the part where investors around the globe were fleeing US markets. I would have thought it would have been publicized here and elsewhere at the time. Hmmm.

There’s no way a bunch of panicked rich nations could influence news to generate domestic public pressure on Trump to acquiesce, is there? Or can only Russia influence domestic US stuff?

and by "influence news" you mean "sell bonds and influence the price of bonds in a negative manner for the US"

Think two people have now posted the blog of some Canadian guy claiming a W on Trump. Whose side are you guys even on? Wait, don’t tell us. We already know.

Why is it ok to have tariffs against us but when we implement them it’s isolationist drivel? Genuinely curious if you think it’s good we have a trillion dollar a year trade deficit while also accumulating unsustainable debt? I totally get that you don’t like the approach, not sure I do either, but am also willing to admit I don’t have access to all the info the people making the decisions do.

The Commies don't appear to get the jokes either.

Who would have thought making a large chunk of the world your enemy would have negative consequences like this.

Interestingly, Sleepy Joe recognized the need to bolster our rare earth element supply chain, but obviously this won't happen overnight.

We have addressed this. It is not hard to use your favorite search engine. Other nations are not earning income from tariffs. They are used to prevent dumping.

The approach used by the last President to balance the budget and create a surplus might be good idea.

Presumably since you are such a genius you are short the market. You're probably over there on Wall Street Bets high rollin with 200 dollars in put options!

Thanks for toeing the line Murph!

Within the next four years, NVIDIA plans to produce up to half a trillion dollars of AI infrastructure in the United States through partnerships with TSMC, Foxconn, Wistron, Amkor and SPIL. These world-leading companies are deepening their partnership with NVIDIA, growing their businesses while expanding their global footprint and hardening supply chain resilience.

NVIDIA AI supercomputers are the engines of a new type of data center created for the sole purpose of processing artificial intelligence — AI factories that are the infrastructure powering a new AI industry. Tens of “gigawatt AI factories” are expected to be built in the coming years. Manufacturing NVIDIA AI chips and supercomputers for American AI factories is expected to create hundreds of thousands of jobs and drive trillions of dollars in economic security over the coming decades.

“The engines of the world’s AI infrastructure are being built in the United States for the first time,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “Adding American manufacturing helps us better meet the incredible and growing demand for AI chips and supercomputers, strengthens our supply chain and boosts our resiliency.”
