You’re simply describing two lies and excusing one because you like his policies more.

One lie impacted Americans because of the shitstorm that happened under that regime.

The other 'lie' literally impacts nobody.

Owning a handful of shares doesn’t move people to base their political decisions on market movements.

Figured you’d understand that.

66% of your base has stock exposure.

Some of them may not mind.

Some of them will mind quite a bit.

How much of your base can you afford to piss off?

Do you understand that it's AMERICAN companies that are selling stuff made in China?

I read one post this morning about a guy who.sold a million bucks worth of t shirts got his first tarrif charge at 20%... said it won't be profitable or worth selling at 145% and is planning to shut down

That's an AMERICAN business who is closing shop

You realize that Temu/Ali Express will probably get more popular. If my choices to buy a Sous Vide is is to spend 500 bucks on an Anova or 100 bucks on a chinese one, I probably go that route. If I'm buying a Pellet Grill, I'm probably going to be more inclined to get the 500 dollar non-branded chinese one than a 1500 dollar Traeger.
