Voters may still trust Republicans more than Democrats on the issues, but their net disapproval of the administration’s initiatives points to a larger political problem. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/08/20/world/white-house-economys-worst-enemy/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #donaldtrump #useconomy #trade #tariffs

Trump’s focus on commerce and personal negotiation style suggests he favors a “grand bargain” with China, even if that means sidelining traditional security concerns like Taiwan. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/08/12/world/a-look-at-trumps-china-policy/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #china #us #donaldtrump #chinausrelations #taiwan #indopacific #chineseeconomy #useconomy

U.S. President Donald Trump’s aggressive economic policies during his second term — including sweeping tariffs — risk triggering long-term damage to U.S. competitiveness, trust in the dollar. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/08/06/world/economic-cost-of-trumps-agenda/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #donaldtrump #useconomy #tariffs #trade #usdollar

Trump’s tariff-heavy trade revolution has defied early economic doomsday predictions but triggered global realignments and raised questions about the long-term cost to American power and prosperity. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/08/05/world/doomsayers-wrong-on-trump-tariffs/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #donaldtrump #us #useconomy #tariffs #trade #globaleconomy

The U.S. currency’s uncharacteristic behavior is another reason for Fed Chair Powell to ignore President Donald Trump and stay cautious on rate cuts. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/07/27/world/fed-should-tread-carefully-with-strange-dollar/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #usdollar #inflation #tariffs #moneysupply #donaldtrump #useconomy

Trump’s aggressive tariff threats seemed effective because markets expected him to back down, but as investors grow numb, the risk rises he’ll follow through, triggering the economic harm his threats were meant to avoid. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/07/23/world/calling-americas-tariff-bluff/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #donaldtrump #us #useconomy #tariffs #globaleconomy #trading

Since the Sino-U.S. trade conflict began in 2018, China has used it to strengthen self-reliance, sharpen its strategies and turn Donald Trump’s tariffs into fuel for its long-term global resilience. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/07/17/world/china-winning-trumps-trade-war/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #china #us #trade #tariffs #chineseeconomy #useconomy

As the U.S. pulls back, China claims to defend free trade and multilateralism but hasn’t matched its words with real action. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/07/11/world/china-a-defender-of-free-trade/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #china #us #freetrade #chineseeconomy #useconomy #globaleconomy #geoeconomicbriefing

U.S. President Donald Trump’s concentration of power in the executive branch will lead to further trade friction, more corruption and less predictability. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/07/07/world/future-of-us-economic-policymaking/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #ieepa #donaldtrump #joebiden #tariffs #us #useconomy #usjapanrelations #geoeconomicbriefing

Despite U.S. President Trump’s trade pressure, Prime Minister Ishiba has held firm, constrained by politics and growing Japanese distrust of the U.S. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/editorials/2025/07/04/japan-must-draw-trade-deadline/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #editorials #shigeruishiba #donaldtrump #usjapanrelations #useconomy #japaneseeconomy #trade

Trade disputes, defense disagreements and diverging views on the Middle East have strained U.S.-Japan relations, casting doubt on the promised "golden age" under Trump and Prime Minister Ishiba. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/07/01/japan/us-japan-golden-age-no-more/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #donaldtrump #shigeruishiba #usjapanrelations #trade #useconomy #japaneseeconomy

Looks like Apollo is calling a recession for Summer 2025. The Trump crew is already trying to blame Biden, but that's 100% horseshit. From what I gather this is unlikely to be reversible so brace yourself in whichever ways you can. There are suggestions this one may be worse than 2008.
