FAFO Mega Thread

The Small Business Reddit seems to be going well,

I'm not sure why people like this post. I'm a small business owner and I have no idea if we will be able to survive these tariffs. As most would know, I'm adamantly opposed to Trump as are a lot of other small business owners.

Smart people made reasonable arguments that surgical strike tariffs in the right amount on the right countries could be in the strategic interest of america. The problem is that instead of a researched plan written in beautiful calligraphy we have:

I too would have liked more “surgical” tariffs; however, it appears Trumps “long game” may be working. Just glad I didn’t make any hasty decisions with my 401K. 🥴

Apparently, not enough small biz owners were "adamant enough" to elect Harris over Trump...

There is a Tariff on everybody as we speak. 10% thst wasn't there 40 days ago.


And the world is saying thank you for that being all it is.
I am glad he came to his senses on the dumbass liberation day formula. What a stupid mistake. Musk is right…Navarro is a moron and so is Trump for listening to him. That aside the 125% tariff on China is still over the top and is still going to blow up many businesses. And the 10% across the board tariff is still asinine.

We went from outright economic nuclear war to a less toned down economic war. It is still a war and it is still a dumb way to get the change he wants. This is far from over.

It is crystal clear he has no idea what he is doing. But you knew I was going to say that 😜.

You know something needed to change, you understand the value of fail fast recover faster, the world has a tariff it didn't have 30 days ago, the world has 90 days to figure out how it's going to cut China out, and the best you have is "maybe it isn't nuclear war any more".




C'mon man, you have more in you than thst. He is the guy who loves the scramble drill and right now he has the world leaders scrambling.

He's the one scrambling and other leaders are laughing at him. He admitted he caved because people in the US were getting yippy.

You're a special kind of gullible rube.

They are laughing at him as they pay 10%.



Run with that back pedal narrative Riley. Let's assume he backpeddled his way into a 10% tax on the rest of the world. What's that say about the last guy who took the stance of sending blank checks and praying nobody got mad? You know, since he was able to backpeddle 10% and all. Dunce.

The scramble drill is horrible for business. The tariffs are bad for business. Sorry I cannot root for these moves. I have been consistent on this since he suggested these types of moves last summer.

I will give the admin credit for at least backing down partially. That was a move in the right direction and I’m surprised he did it to be honest - to our exchange this morning I didn’t think he had it in him to find a way partially out of his massive mistake (I would still love your take on his narcissism/sociopathy). So kudos to Trump for going from massive dumbass to just a big dumbass. Progress!

You won’t find me calling him a pussy for backing down and you won’t find me celebrating either because I still think where we are now is a big mistake.

Best I can muster for you. I am trying to see the light at the end of the tunnel here, I really am. But all I see is murky gloom.

This is awesome. No one on here digs in with their stupidity more than you do. You are truly deserving of WPOTY.

You state this like the tariffs remaining are a positive for the economy. They will still cause inflation and job losses - even more than they might otherwise because of the unpredictability regarding what will happen tomroow, 90 days or next year. There are countless business people talking about the hits they are taking and the outlook being awful. Consumer confidence has cratered. There is nothing about what has happened that is good for the economy or the country.

But you, being the numpty you are, continue to buy what Trump says hook, line and sinker. SMFH
