“Wall Street is Fed Up with Trump’s Tariffs”

It would be kind of incredible if Trump ended up being the first president to get himself overthrown by a Business Plot because he destroyed the capitalist economy the way capitalists assumed communists would.

CNN · Wall Street is fed up with Trump’s tariffs. Stocks are off to their worst start to a year since 2020By John Towfighi

@HeavenlyPossum Maybe there is some horizontal competition between capitalists going on here? As in some capitalists find an interest in tariffs while finance does not?

@artifact_boi

Oh, absolutely.

The state normally works like a common committee for capitalists in general and the super-rich in specific. But now, the wider Trump crime family and a fairly small clique of Musk-adjacent Silicon Valley billionaires are capturing the state specifically for themselves. There is 100% intra-capitalist conflict going on.

@HeavenlyPossum oh, I love telling my customers: "sorry, raising the prices for you by 25% because of the trump tariffs."

@HeavenlyPossum I have confidence that Trump will fix everything eventually, by rigging the statistics.
