The country is 100% behind the president on fixing a global system of tariffs that has disadvantaged the country. But, business is a confidence game and confidence depends on trust.

President @realDonaldTrump has elevated the tariff issue to the most important geopolitical issue in the world, and he has gotten everyone’s attention. So far, so good.

And yes, other nations have taken advantage of the U.S. by protecting their home industries at the expense of millions of our jobs and economic growth in our country.

But, by placing massive and disproportionate tariffs on our friends and our enemies alike and thereby launching a global economic war against the whole world at once, we are in the process of destroying confidence in our country as a trading partner, as a place to do business, and as a market to invest capital.

The president has an opportunity to call a 90-day time out, negotiate and resolve unfair asymmetric tariff deals, and induce trillions of dollars of new investment in our country.

If, on the other hand, on April 9th we launch economic nuclear war on every country in the world, business investment will grind to a halt, consumers will close their wallets and pocket books, and we will severely damage our reputation with the rest of the world that will take years and potentially decades to rehabilitate.

What CEO and what board of directors will be comfortable making large,
long-term, economic commitments in our country in the middle of an economic nuclear war?

I don’t know of one who will do so.

When markets crash, new investment stops, consumers stop spending money, and businesses have no choice but to curtail investment and fire workers.

And it is not just the big companies that will suffer. Small and medium size businesses and entrepreneurs will experience much greater pain. Almost no business can pass through an overnight massive increase in costs to their customers. And that’s true even if they have no debt, and, unfortunately, there is a massive amount of leverage in the system.

Business is a confidence game. The president is losing the confidence of business leaders around the globe. The consequences for our country and the millions of our citizens who have supported the president — in particular low-income consumers who are already under a huge amount of economic stress — are going to be severely negative. This is not what we voted for.

The President has an opportunity on Monday to call a time out and have the time to execute on fixing an unfair tariff system.

Alternatively, we are heading for a self-induced, economic nuclear winter, and we should start hunkering down.

May cooler heads prevail.

Per Trump, this is MAGA apparently. Let’s put our children back to work doing this! Long live tariffs.

Hey Cult Boys,

I got another complicated math question for you.

Please see if you can help me figure it out. I just can’t seem to.

It costs $2 to make a t shirt in Vietnam.

It costs $20 to make that same t shirt in West Virginia.

After you tariff Walmart 50%, and make that t shirt cost $3 in Vietnam.

Does Walmart:
A) Continue using the Vietnamese factory
B) Switch to West Virginia’s factory

Please help.

Hey @elonmusk , you may be the greatest manufacturing builder of all time. Did you need protective tariffs in order to manufacture in the USA ?

Or were private capital , your investment, and local and federal government incentives the difference ?
BTW, what I respect most about you is that you go all in with your own money for your startups.

Most people don’t have the balls to do it.

Great story. Washington finally doing something with class. I was at RFK as a little kid and went to Green’s first preseason game. And he came over and dapped us all up with that huge smile of his. Great to see such a legend who stays loyal to a team and fan base decades later. It’s a rare treat. Congrats #28 #raisehail
