Oof, as an American company the rest of the world is boycotting them too.
Yup, they are toast. I dont think the Americans have realized how much permanent damage Trump has caused.
Democrats have known from the moment he was elected. Republicans are starting to figure it out now that they are feeling the effects. Of course, they were the ones who caused it so....
They're really not though, maga fascists, actually believe this is a mere speed bump on the way to the promised land...
Yeah but will they still believe that in 4 years? The problem for the republicans now is that they are getting called out by their own voters right now and it's only March of the year 1.
So now they have to tread the fine line of not being too supportive of his policies so that they stand re-election chances while at the same time not being so against the policies as to risk Trump's revenge. It's a very shitty bed they have to lie in, and I almost feel sorry for them, but they deliberately shit in it themselves, so sod them.
"Many economists are saying that the market was due for a correction..."
I've seen that comment a few times in the last few days. They'll say ANYTHING to support Dear Leader.
Economists will literally say anything to perpetuate capitalism/the status quo.
All the economists here (Canada) are saying this is an absolute disaster that will cause a recession. No reasonable person believes these tariffs are a net positive.
They're about to learn about the world stage
Not only boycotts, it'll also be a prime target for retaliatory tariffs. So for even those that don't care about the boycott, a Roomba will cost at least 25% more than the equivalent robot vacuum made in Korea.
I highly doubt his voters will ever realize it. People who voted for him have single digit IQs. Other Americans warned them before hand.
