recent price chart for the #TRUMP #memecoin shows a massive crash in price on the left (when Trump announced new tariffs on #china) and a massive pump just now (when Trump TACOed and announced there would be a trade deal with china) coincidentally back to exactly the same price it was before the first announcement.
99.9% of TRUMP trading happens on offshore #crypto exchanges that are controlled by chinese nationals and banned from operating within the US.
every $1 the price moves up the trump family gets a billion dollars and every $1 the price goes down the trump family loses a billion dollars.
put it all together and it means the chinese can pump or dump the trump family's net worth by billions any time they want to. the response will be predictably pavlovian.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent flurry of trade deals have given Asian exporters some clarity on tariffs, but missing are key details on how to avoid punitive rates that target China’s supply chains. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/07/26/economy/trump-tariffs-china-asia/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #economy #china #globaleconomy #asia #tariffs #trade #us #donaldtrump
@thejapantimes #Trump#Tariff strategy doesn't exist. He doesn't live up to agreements, e.g. with Mexico. He claims all sorts of agreements with other countries who quickly dispute them. He continuously sets and changes deadlines. The entire point of this exercise is gratification that he can make the world dance when he pulls the tariff lever. It produces the chaos he loves. This will go on for as long as he is president. think Lucy, Charlie Brown, football.

Ouch. #Trump #tariffs take a $1 billion bite out of #GM earnings
#GeneralMotors' second-quarter core profit fell 32% to $3 billion on Tuesday, as the automaker continued to confront challenging #tariff policies, which it said sapped $1.1 billion from the results.

I just had to pay a $224.30 #tariff on a package from the UK. I paid that. Not China. Who does this benefit?
#Trump’s #tariffs target countries that are major suppliers of a wide range of goods to the #UnitedStates.
For American families, the likely result is higher #prices nearly everywhere they turn — in grocery aisles, at car dealerships, at electronics stores & at the pump.

… #trading data & economic studies suggest #consumers in the #US will see higher #prices on a products from vegetables & meat to cellphones & cars. While a few companies may not pass on the cost of the #tariff, many are likely to raise prices on their products.
“Because of the combination of these 3 countries, it’s going to be difficult to go down an aisle of a grocery store & not see some sort of inflationary effect,” said Jason Miller, a prof of #SupplyChain management at Michigan State.
