Ready for Trump Copper Tariff?

[mike mccormick]

We should have a surplus of copper once we stop minting the penny. maybe...

There hasn't been any copper in the penny since the 80s

Not to worry !! Your ass is covered ....LOL Most tp in the country, if not
the world is made by Kimberly Clark here in Pennsylvania.

We have a large Procter & Gamble plant here in northern Utah making Bounty and Charmin also.

The whole mess interferes with the global commodity exchanges, which
means investors, and traders that don't give a sh!t about you or me.....
Remember.....Trump only puts people on his chess board who will bend
the knee, and are not actually smart. Buckle up, going to be a hell of a
ride.....

I gotta say i'm thoroughly impressed thus far with what he has done, other than Pam Bondi, who has made more than a few questionable statements, everyone else seems top notch. Kash, RFK jr., Tulsi and many more. The chess board you speak of is set indeed. I think its set well, and everyday i'm seeing something that im happy with as far as DOGE and how much they have cut already. time will be the ultimate test of whether or not this administration is true to its word, but they are off to a fantastic start.

If you havent, id reccomend listening to the Shawn Ryan podcast with Kash Patel on it, or a Rogan podcast with Tulsi, or RFK. jr. these people arent playing around.

Open pit copper mining is not environmentally friendly. Unless there are some newer methods to extract the copper I doubt we will see more mines operating. The largest open pit in the world is the Kennecott Mine here in Utah. It is do to close in 2032.

Hysteria is one of the main driving forces with commodity brokers, don't forget, they have to make a living churning the market

Fear and greed drive the market

Earth isnt friendly. Montana has a list of most of the lakes and streams and how many fish you can or should eat. Places untouched by man are highly toxic.

I have a lot of things I could point out. I’ll just leave you with this.

And?

The bill Trump will sign if it passes the Senate not taxing my social security will easily cover the price increase of copper. There were no votes for this bill from one party.

Let's look at the big picture in 4 years and see where we are for all the changes coming.

Don't expect instant gratification. Pain will be involved.

You mean from the Socialistcrats?

Anyone who thinks it might be bad in the US only has to look at the UK to get some perspective. I'd much rather be in the US right now!

 

[BKA]

And?

IMHO, historically, with few exceptions such as the ISS, siding with communist/socialist countries has not been beneficial for the USA in the long run. Exercising extreme caution is prudent, as they always seem to find a way to F#*$ things up and blame the west/democracy.

And Ukraine is?
What is it called when you impose martial law and cancel an election Democratic?

It’s what happens when you are invaded, twice, by Putin.

I've said the same to many friends that are crying about small individual increases in their budgets. Politicians on both sides have done things that have broken our country. Just like many medical conditions, it will take some additional pain to begin to heal our country. The pain will be far less under the current administration than it would have been to continue the status quo.

We are playing the long game. Don't expect prices to come down tomorrow. Its a lot easier to screw things up than fix them. So far threatening tariffs has gotten what we wanted on both borders. Im not sure if a tariff will be implemented at all.

I'm puzzled, what did we get?
Mexico and Canada had already agreed to increase their border security. On the other hand, the US agreed to reduce firearms going to Mexico which was largely going to the cartels.
The reason for a tariff on Canada was drugs crossing the border, but the data shows more illegal drugs and firearms cross into Canada from the US than from Canada into the US.
Since a great deal of electrical power is supplied by Canada that power the North, it would be very costly to the US if Canada put tariffs on electrical power.
