The Trump Tariffs thread

[VRAMdemon]

Jack Daniels Single Barrel Barrel Proof in both offerings are excellent IMO. JD 10 and 12 year also good but harder to find. Never got a taste for Dickel really but it's polarizing.

My go to:

Mary Dowling toasted double oak barrel strength bourbon whiskey

Honorable mention and half the price:

Mary Dowling Tequila barrel finished bourbon whiskey

The reprieve on export licenses for Chinese rare earth materials is only good for six months.

Odds are the Chinese will extract more concessions from Trump on a regular basis.

One has to wonder.. 55% tariff on our most used importer..

Won't that raise inflation?

And how will interest rates come down then?

Or the plan is to cause inflation and low interest rates which causes the dollar to fall like a rock??

They want a lot of money for 4 year old juice IMO. I like Larceny Barrel Proof or Makers Mark Selects for half the price with a few more years age on it.

Tariffs will likely make this worse

I don't like the bitterness of Rye.. I tried a few bourbons that had high rye - Four Roses for example and had difficulty even finishing the bottle.

But I like low rye ones.

I haven't tried Makers Mark.. how is that? bitter or sweet?

If you like sweeter bourbons then MM should be up your alley since it is wheated.

Doesn't a 55% tariffs on China just mean the products will be send to a 3rd country before being shipped to the US for a flat 10% tariff?

U.S. firms demand crackdown on tariff-evading Chinese importers

"Before the ink was dry on the order, China was already evading the order by transshipping through other countries, hopping from country to country, changing the names, shifting shipments, just to stay ahead of us," Magnus said.

I'd love someone to do an in-depth study on the market accounts that are making the most money off these tariff movements.

Tried Makers Mark Selects ... It's just a little too sweet for my tastes. Didn't sit well in my gut.. Never tried Larceny Barrel. Will give it a shot 👍

My grandfather turned my on to Mary Dowling. It's so smooth for my tastes and palate.

The details are sketchy, as usual. So ... we pay 55% on Chinese merchandise, they pay 10% on ours?

That awkward scenario where you are unsure of whether to root for tariffs to continue to be an anchor (somewhat ) on his approval ratings or cheer for tariffs to be peeled back, economy roars back to life and all is forgiven by the electorate.

I think it is safe to say that this scenario is really not likely at all. He can't go more than a few days without getting the itch.
