Bad, bad Starbucks.
I feel that Monday April 7 will show whether Trump can survive as the president. If the markets crash, then the world economy is in grave danger.
Stock markets are crashing around the world, as funds are trying to sell shares, fearing uncertainty and bankruptcies that may follow Trump’s tariffs implementation on April 9.

I can’t think of another time in the U.S. history when one man put the entire global economy into a recession on a whim.
By “taking advantage” Trump means trade deficits, which actually only means that Americans like buying European goods for U.S. dollars.
Europe has China on speed dial — as well as Canada, Mexico, Australia and New Zealand.

The Europeans will be able to design a trade policy to minimize the effects of the U.S. committing economical harakiri.
To punish Starbucks, you impose a tariff on yourself, so now you are paying 20% more for the coffee.
That’s what Trump effectively did.
