The 34% China reciprocal is now 84%.
So funny how a businessman thinks he can run a country like a corporation. And funny that the voters just assume the economy is going to boom just because the businessman/president/oligarch is going to be running the show the same way he ran his own businesses. Never mind that he had to seek bankruptcy protection a few times with his own businesses.
I think some people confuse Trump the business man with Trump the mad king.
I see in his speech last night he has proposed to put tariffs on all pharmaceutical imports and medicines that had been previously exempt. Of course he is known to just say things for effect.
"British drugmakers AstraZeneca and GSK topped the losers board in London, both down over 4%. Europe's most valuable company Novo Nordisk, which produces weight-loss drugs Ozempic and Wegovy, fell around 5% in Copenhagen. French pharmaceutical group Sanofi and German biotech firm Sartorius also dropped around 5%."
Orange Man is a property developer. If he had been in manufacturing, hopefully it would have been different.
I could see this as being his strength, before he went mad. From a former co-star.

I have just applied for a 6-12 week residency program in Svalbard for this coming winter. If accepted, I'll be doing some photojournalism of their emergency response organizations and a few other odds-and-end. And spending some time chatting with folks at the university there about their arctic physics programs, and see if I can talk them into something.
What makes it an Arctic physics program? Their temperature, because I was thinking Arctic physics, wouldn't that really be at the Kelvin level?
