Yeah but the difference is Trump has the magnetism and Vance doesn’t? Usually when a cult leader dies the whole cult kinda fizzles out.
Gives pick me energy and it’s the newest talking point and very annoying. Total exports as a percentage is 15% that china ships to the us.
A deficit doesn’t make it a bad thing. It means we are more of a consumer economy to focus on higher level of jobs.
It’s all ragebaiting and clicks now.
Looking like complete escalation since china won’t bend the knee to him
Nah trump will claim everyone was there for him and there wasn’t a protest.
The base is fully bought in on the crazy idea Trump tanks the market so he can refi the debt and save billions in interest and also the fed will be forced to drop interest rates. It’s crazy though bc the impact of that will be catastrophic. The reason the US is so strong economically is because the dollar is the reserve currency of the world. You lose that power then it’s harder to bounce back if at all.
I’ve seen a new talking point popping up that he’s crashing the market on purpose to refi US debt and force the fed to drop interest rates…
Honestly they probably plugged it into Grok and asked it to spit out the list of countries to tariff.
It’s probably dumber than you think why they weren’t on there. The formula they used to come up with the countries tarrifs rate is based simply on trade deficit calculations. So if you aren’t exporting/importing from those countries they wouldn’t be included. It doesn’t even matter if there was a trade surplus.
For example, take the figures for China:

Honestly when Pete Davidson first said that I was like idk maybe but the further we get away from that interview I’m 100% convinced.
There have been multiple companies who have gone through public image issues that have survived, but never regained their original status in the market.
The thing that it has been with Tesla is the company value never made sense and it was driven by hype for Elon and his “genius vision”. With that facade going away the stock should continue to adjust to closer to other comparable car companies. Even recently they had a trailing P/E ratio of 121. That’s crazy with only so few things in their product pipeline that we know about.
So the question now is how does the new public perception impact any new products they launch in the near term and how do they recover the confidence of the consumers? Not saying that it can’t be done.
Tesla has been losing ground for a while. They were one of the first mass produced EVs with charging infrastructure, but now what makes them special? They have positioned themselves as a software/ai company but it was just a way to boost stock price. They don’t have full self driving (fsd) that’s been promised as next year for the past 10 years. On top of it they only rely on cameras for fsd and no lidar systems so I don’t think they’ll ever get full clearance outside the US.
So even if they ditch Elon I’m not sure if the sentiment can be brought back. Sure they may not go bankrupt but the stock should fall in line with other auto manufacturing companies.
They had 6 rate increases last year. They had reported 2.1b in profits only to want to raise again to compensate investors because they are 1% from other similar companies dividends…I’m sick of this.
I’m starting to see more opinion pieces from media personalities like Cramer trying to pivot the Tesla narrative to they are more than a car company they are AI and humanoid robot company. Which is hilarious because it’s been 10 years since Elon said any day we’d have full self driving.
“[On JPMorgan cutting TSLA to $120 and losing brand value] He very quickly has to talk once again about how the company is an artificial intelligence, humanoid company."

Wait a minute… That’s genius!
Then privatize it to TurboTax
Ketamine is also a hell of a drug
Step 1: Strip it and claim it’s not working
Step 2: Sell off and privatize
Step 3: Profit
You are in luck! Kevin O’Leary is in his ear about going to 400%…
