" #Canada 's finance ministry said it will give its country's businesses a six-month relief from #tariffs on certain U.S. goods imports, but warned this temporary measure should be used to "adjust their supply chains and prioritize domestic sources". #TrumpTax

So #trump is doing exactly what I thought he was going to do with the #tariffs when he failed to actually strong arm any countries into unfair deals -
He is walking them back, and then saying he cut deals! When in reality things just went back to the previous tariff situation between the #usa and #china before the ABSOLUTELY INSANE trade war.
Then since #maga sheep are profoundly dumb, they'll eat it up and praise him for wrecking our #economy.

NEW: More Than a Dozen U.S. Officials Sold Stocks Before Trump’s Tariffs Sent the Market Plunging
Records show well-timed trades by executive branch employees and congressional aides. Even if they had no insider information, ethics experts say such trading undermines faith in government and the markets.

#Trump threatens 50% #tariffs on #EU & 25% penalties on #Apple as his #TradeWar intensifies
Trump on Fri threatened a 50% #tax on all imports from the #EuropeanUnion & a 25% tariff on Apple products unless #iPhones are made in US.
The threats, delivered on social media, reflect his ability to disrupt the #GlobalEconomy with an outburst of typing, & the reality that his tariffs have yet to produce the deals he is seeking or the return of domestic manufacturing.

Call it the 911 presidency.
Despite insisting that the #US is rebounding from calamity under his watch, #Trump is harnessing #EmergencyPowers unlike any of his predecessors.
Whether it’s leveling punishing #tariffs, deploying #troops to the #border or sidelining #EnvironmentalRegulations, Trump has relied on rules & laws intended only for use in extraordinary circumstances like #war & #invasion.

“ A senior Trump administration official has reportedly revealed that President Trump’s dramatic trade war threats are based on fiction, not fact.”
“ Despite Trump’s claims that world leaders were calling and pleading with him to avoid sweeping tariffs, an anonymous insider told The Daily Beast that no such calls were ever made. “It’s all fake,” the source said “
Apparently Lizzo wore a shirt like this on SNL, which I think is great.
We all have a huge laundry list of critical causes to support as we battle fascists, but it's probably the economic chaos from #Trump #tariffs that will end this regime-- he's already hemorrhaging support over this!
Remember, the whole point of protesting is to be visible and give permission to people who voted for him to switch sides publicly.

#Fraudster #Trump said on Sunday that he would delay imposing a 50% #tariff on all imports from the #EU until July 9 to allow more time for #trade negotiations [or to make money by shorting the market].
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said that he had spoken to Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, about his recent #threat to enact the #tariffs on June 1 if a trade deal could not be reached in the next week.

WTF
A federal appeals court on Thursday allowed #Trump to continue collecting #tariffs under an #EmergencyPowers law for now, as his admin appeals an order striking down the bulk of his signature set of economic policies.
The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit granted an emergency motion from the Trump admin arguing a halt is “critical for the country’s national security.”[bull-fucking-shit]
