Summary
Global leaders criticized Trump’s new tariffs, which range from 10% to 49%, warning of trade wars and economic fallout.
The UK and Italy urged negotiation, while Brazil passed a reciprocity bill. China and South Korea vowed countermeasures.
Australia and New Zealand rejected Trump’s logic, citing existing trade deals and low tariffs. Norfolk Island was baffled by a 29% duty despite having no exports.
Financial markets dropped, oil and bitcoin sank, and leaders warned of inflation. Analysts say Trump risks fracturing global trade with little to gain economically.
Is the plan to isolate us?

End goal.
I would tend to agree with the process part of accelerationism, but I don’t think there is a goal.
The “crazy like a fox” theory is contradicted by several pretty dumb tells that suggest the administration is headed and staffed by actual idiots.
This is not the end goal.
Anyone who believes this without critique is incapable of autonomous thought.
Still it was too difficult for you to express your own opinions. Too scary?
Arguing with you people is a waste of time.
I’m going to ignore you now.
“I’m too smart to deal with the likes of you.”
Riding that dunning-krueger curve like a pro fucking surfer.
Yeah, fools think everyone is worth arguing with.
Gonna block you, too.
Oh no. Anyway…
it’s not really arguing if you’re not making a point though, is it? it’s just insulting people and refusing to explain why. that’s not the same thing as arguing.
Seems to be what a lot of the far right want. It’s essentially what Brexit has done to us in the UK
