april 2 'liberation day' predictions;

Fat fuck has to be upset at losing the “crash” narrative and missed another opportunity. If only that little thing called assets didn’t stand in his way of success.

In fairness … crazy little thing called QE. There goes my baby. I firmly believe QE shall return so assets forward ho…

My personal binky PLTR fell to $66. I was fucking around $74/75 with calls. Missed $74. I think I posted.

PLTR is $106. Trillion dollar defense budget, drones, AI war fare, and Pentagon software are about Americana. If PLTR fails we all fail.

Come on now San, is that really a big number? Doesn’t that work out to around 2.5% annually? And isn’t the historical average closer to 3.3%?

Obviously during Biden’s term it spiked incredibly high but to point to the 17 year inflation rate when it’s been below average; well I just expect better from you.

its actually pitch perfect team retard; trump wants to hurt china because he cant stand them not kissing his ring, so hes willing to blast america in the face with a shotgun just to get blood on chinas shoes.

[mickeycrimm]

Yesterday Trump announced that news stories saying he is considering cutting the tariffs on China are bullshit. He said tariffs won’t be cut without a trade deal with China.

And in your photoshop here, Trump can’t fold. He moved all-in and was called. He has to show his hand. No wonder you are a failed wannabe poker pro.

[sonatine]

great deal maker or greatest deal maker?


- 46% of Toy Companies in the US say they expect to go out of business within "weeks"
- 128K Federal workers lost their jobs in last 60 days
- 40% of cargo ships leaving China for the U.S. were empty today.
- Shoes expected to go up 87% in price
- Apparel expected to go up 65%
- US Exports expected to drop 18%
- Tourism to US down 20%
- All foreign goods up at least 10% on USD alone

lol. He already backed down on cell phones and TVs. He’s like one of those embarrassed players who just throws his hand into the muck on the river so no one sees how badly he played it.

But he left the tariffs on the cheap plastic junk.

like your wheelchair?

Electric wheel chairs are made from titanium, dumfuck. And go for about 3K a pop. However, Elon Musk's R & D is ramping up to produce electric wheel chairs which promises to bring much more competitive prices to the market.

So you fascists think words like "wheelchair" and "cripple" are pejoratives? Why is that? Because of your ideology?

Here's the blueprint Trump has been using to restructure the Global Trading System. Written by one of his top economic advisers, Stephen Miran. The tariffs are for leverage in negotiations:

Most read Bessent’s speech as vague. But it wasn’t what he said—it was how little he needed to say.

A few lines on Europe, debt, and global imbalances quietly confirmed the blueprint behind months of trade pivots, market shocks, and tight-lipped diplomacy.

Let’s trace it. ��

I’ve been piecing together a puzzle for months—across Trump’s tariff announcements, gold revaluation murmurs, IMF gripes, and Treasury policy.

It has been vaguely called the Mar-a-Lago Accords.

Not a document. Not yet.

But a framework
·
Today Bessent didn’t announce the Mar-a-Lago Accords but confirmed the strategy underpinning them.

And make no mistake: this is not policy-by-tweak.

It’s a long-horizon reset of:
→ How America collects revenue
→ How it trades
→ What it defends
→ What it tolerates

This isn’t “Trump’s erratic team making it up as they go.”

It’s a blueprint shaped by Bessent, Miran & others—built on:
→ Global rebalancing: surplus nations must consume more so the U.S. can borrow less.
→ Asset-back
·
What’s the problem they’re solving?

The U.S. borrows…
→ to defend allies who underpay
→ to absorb exports from surplus nations
→ while offshoring its own industry
The fiscal model is broken.
Now they’re charging for security & realigning trade.

�� Pillar 1: NATO Must Pay Up

Trump wants NATO allies at 5% of GDP.

Bessent echoed: “Europe must assume more security responsibility.”

Already in motion:
→ Poland: 4.7%
→ Germany: loosening rules
→ Spain & Portugal: expanding budgets

Why does it matter?

If allies pay more → U.S. cuts defense costs → deficit shrinks → dollar softens → exports rise

That’s the security-for-debt swap.

It’s a monetary reset thru military diplomacy

�� Pillar 2: Tariffs = Revenue + Leverage

Tariffs are not chaos. They’re 3-in-1 tools:
→ External Revenue Service
→ Dollar pressure valve
→ Most crucially: leverage for multi-pronged deals—trade, security, markets. Not just supply chains.

�� Pillar 3: Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF)

Trump signed the EO in Feb.

Assets include:
→ $900B in gold (if revalued)
→ ~$11B in seized BTC
→ potentially Federal land, real estate
It’s not about backing the dollar—it’s about monetizing the balance sheet

�� Pillar 4: IMF & World Bank Reset
Bessent:
→ “IMF must return to core mission.”
→ “Mission creep must stop.”
→ “China isn’t a developing country.”
This isn’t aid reform. It’s strategic realignment—using institutions to call out surplus hoarding and shift global power.

�� Pillar 5: Dollar Devaluation

The trade-weighted dollar has risen 200% in 40 years—crushing U.S. manufacturing.

Now:
→ Shift defense costs
→ Reduce foreign-held Treasuries
→ Use long-dated bonds
= Softer dollar, stronger industry and exports

Here’s the deeper logic:

Surplus nations like China save too much & export the rest.
America consumes, runs deficit.
Because every piece is still under negotiation.
The less they say, the more is happening.
And these aren’t simple deals—
They’re linking tariffs to defense budgets, capital access, and sovereign assets.

This is full-spectrum leverage

There isn’t drift. There is consistency.

The administration said it wanted:

→ More domestic production
→ Fewer foreign liabilities
→ Strategic use of assets
And every move—tariff, speech, rollback—tracks exactly with that plan.

I mapped out after Liberation Day that tariffs were part of a full-spectrum reset. The direction of current negotiations suggests that’s playing out.

Yields rose, Treasuries took a hit—but the arc holds.Talks must be working. We’ll know more in 90 days.
