Terrified Trump Flees Tariffs War After CEOs’ ‘Empty Shelves’ Warning
www.thedailybeast.com
The president sounded much more conciliatory after he was told about the chaos his plans could bring.

Summary

Trump had to reverse his aggressive tariff rhetoric after CEOs from Walmart, Target, and Home Depot warned of empty shelves and higher prices due to supply chain disruptions.

Investors reacted negatively to his threats against Fed Chair Jerome Powell, prompting a market sell-off.

Trump backtracked, expressing optimism on a China trade deal and now denying plans to fire Powell.

Global markets remain volatile, and the IMF cited Trump’s trade war as a “major negative shock” to global growth.

    I don’t see anybody stopping you from saying anything you want to say, so stop playing the victim.

    Trump is a uniquely American problem. You guys either elected him, or didn’t care enough to vote. Shit, his popularity is still almost 50% now even after he destroyed the economy.

    Your argument is that the American people are so stupid that they were manipulated by foreign actors (TWICE) into electing an obvious fuckwit.

    Well, ok, if you insist,
