And Hitler did it as well, it seems he was almost as clueless about finance as Trump:


From almost the moment Adolf Hitler took office as chancellor of Germany, tariffs were at the top of his government’s economic agenda. The agricultural sector’s demands for higher tariffs “must be met,” Hitler’s economic minister, Alfred Hugenberg, declared on Wednesday, February 1, 1933, just over 48 hours into Hitler’s chancellorship, “while at the same time preventing harm to industry.”

...

Hitler had what one might call a diffident, occasionally felonious disregard for financial matters. He owed 400,000 reichsmarks in back taxes. His understanding of economics was primitive. “You have inflation only if you want it,” Hitler once said. “Inflation is a lack of discipline.

Hitler had inherited a Recovering economy was warned by just about everyone against the tariffs. They were a disaster. I hope Trump doesn't follow the full trajectory.

Hitler’s trade war with his neighbors would prove to be but a prelude to his shooting war with the world.

Oh, the guy who said he wanted generals like Hitler's generals, has repeatedly used similar language as Hitler, and kept a book of Hitler's speeches that were given to him by a friend in his bedside cabinet? What are the odds he'd keep going with the Hitler parallels, right?

I actually think he would. But I'm hoping he has enough people around that will at least draw that line.

It seems the Chinese have walked out of the talks in Geneva.

Edit: the US delegation left too apparently about the same time as after two hours the talk ended. Doesn't seem promising.

Good morning to you too Mr. Christian hating, slandering, lying bigot. Congratulations on passing the asshole test with flying colors.

My post below that got this all started was a response to the previous post about the democratic party making itself irrelevant, criticized both parties equally, and more importantly:

1.) Did not personally attack anyone here.
2.) Had valid criticisims of both parties.



the guy that wants to punish a dozen kids until he's allowed to inspect their genitals is calling me a bigot?

that's fucking rich.

seriously though: why are you so obsessed with children's genitals? There's a word for that, you know.

Based on previous reports for other negotiations, is the team even empowered to make a deal? Do they even have something tangible they want? And how will they stop Trump from backing out of any agreed deal?

Under those conditions, it's hard to see how a negotiation can succeed.

Color me shocked that the UK "deal" is basically nothing. Certainly not a good sign for things to come.

The Farce of the Deal

No.. she wants to be POTUS and is trying to get a higher profile now when things will likely become a trainwreck shortly so she can be the "prophet".
No chance she will be on a ticket for president. So obviously stupid as she is. She's worried about her congressional seat and trying to counter (with little success) the sense that people with any intelligence justifiably have that she's out of touch.

This is funny, have to admit that my thought was sort-of the other way round - that Starmer had been grossly overselling the deal, and have been suspicious of what concessions he gave to Trump. As I understand it all the US conceded was to remove the 25% car tariffs that Trump only just imposed, and we are still left with 10% tariffs on _everything_ (how are those allowed under the WTO, btw? Seems to me that any time any poor third-world nation does something like that it gets taken to the WTO and told to remove the tariffs).

So we're worse off, from British exporters' p.o.v., than under Biden. I'm hoping Starmer didn't concede anything new, rewarding Trump for his unilateral tariff imposition. I'll be angry with him if he did.
