A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. 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.
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.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.

This is literally the opposite of a pump and dump scheme. Trump is intentionally tanking the market to enrich himself and his group of oligarch cronies that sold at the highest point and will buy back into the market before he announces the tariffs gone.
Insider trading while manipulating the market as a whole. Open corruption at the highest level.
Maybe if we peacefully occupy some sidewalk that these oligarchs never walk on for another 40 years, that'll teach them!
Isn't it still a pump'n'dump? As the Big Cheese, the man can just keep repeating the cycle as long as it suits him.
It’s more like a dump'n'pump I guess.
I hope they don’t. Please see straight through this giant toddler and show him that actions have consequences. Do not negotiate.
Teach him a lesson that the US is refusing to teach him.
That's a mighty dangerous game. Two things will happen if this will happen:
The US is clearly already turning away from allies, and running right into the arms of Russia
it's already doing that, in order to meet them in the middle we'd have to believe they were doing it in good faith which they aren't
Seems a dumb move to surround yourself with enemies at your borders and turn to an ally who is across the ocean, over what exactly?
a desire to inflict his psychosis on the world? chaos in a system offers the best opportunity to "win bigley" with the commensurate loss borne by the non-billionaire class.
crazy on a ship of fools.
Economy won't collapse. New customers, and sources can be found. US already turned into an autocratic countries under Trump.
so it is non issue.
Any probable actions are reading tea leaves. The idiot is unstable and cannot be trusted. Tariffs could be gone tomorrow and back again Friday.
Rework the terrorism color coding for his temperament on a daily basis...
Why would Canada, or any country for that matter, trust what we say now?
We are turning away from US (i am talking popular opinion here in NL) like nothing we have seen since the end of ww2.
Canada needs to stick to the tariffs until US stops smuggling drugs and guns into Canada!
Trump did it unilaterally, so no discussion anymore.
Canada should coordinate with Mexico to tariff the US until they stop smuggling firearms to Mexican cartels
Don't meet in the middle.
His middle is never in the middle of both sides.
He didn't like NAFTA, he cancelled it and force Canada and Mexico to accept a better deal for him by putting tariffs.
Even his deal is not good enough, so he put tariffs again.
If you meet him in the middle, he'll take more.
We have to make sure that everyone feels the maximum pain whenever he uses tariffs to force his will so he'll learn that it's not a good idea to bully other countries.
Don't you fear that it'll be seen as escalatory?
Trump kinda made that too late
As a Canadian: no. Sick of this shit and I don’t care how it’s seen by him. He’ll just make up a reason for us “escalating” even if we don’t anyway
The right move for Canada and Mexico is to pay the bill up front and move enough trade to other countries so USA will never be able to use strong-arm tactics again.
And that's what's happening, Europe is very interested in Canada and I hope Mexico will also get a piece of that.
And Dump isn't being escalatory?
Eat shit rump.
Trump never sticks to his words so the concept of a middle doesn't exist when he will go back on whatever he says over and over and over. Wish countries would just unite to sanction the US and isolate it.
Geographically perhaps....
