Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

600 is chicken feed, I don't see how it doesn't lose 10k, I mean Trump just shot the bottom of the boat out of the US economy, for no good reason. The United State's has gotten weaker in the 2 weeks Trump has been President by it's own undoing than at any time I can remember.
They probably half expect him to reverse them in a week or two. If that doesn't happen, when they accept they will be around for a while, then is when the panic will start.
Assuming things work the way we expect...
the only reason I can come up with why Trump did this is to weaken the united states, and it's allies, to somehow bolster russia's position. that's it. that's all i can come up with. you don't make people like pete hegseth the head of the dod, and tulsi gabbard the dni if you want a secure funtioning christofascist state. hegseth managed to oversee the pentagon for less than one week, and in that week a us army helicopter, for the first time in history, flew directly into the descending flight path of a commercial passenger jet airplane killing everyone. this is bigger than just destroying the economy, which is going to throw us all into financial hardship, after years of insane inflation post pandemic, this is to litteraly weaken the united states readiness in every way. i don't see him reversing this.
It'll be a Hunt for Red October situation.
Wait until next week, and then the week after, and then...
