Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

KEY POINTS

  • The comments came after the U.S. stock market limped to a close for a second day of sharp declines.
  • The Trump administration enacted sweeping tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports after putting them on pause for a month.

Compromise on what? You haven't even told us what they're really for you dumb shit.

It's clearly not a compromise on the fentanyl situation, and you haven't talked about anything else that we've changed.

Are you just compromising on your own?

They are on a budget, so it's some dude called Lasha Sukashenka, who is weirdly obsessed with potatoes.

Would have worked better with the order reversed but oh well 🤷

He wants to be associated in the media with tariffs, since it's something that his core supporters and people in swing states want.

In the past, he's gone out of his way to very noisily associate himself with tariffs, without actually imposing a whole lot by way of tariffs.

I have an earlier comment giving good odds that Trump likely either wouldn't impose tariffs or wouldn't impose them for long -- he'd do so long enough to make sure that people saw news coverage associating him with the things. I doubt that Truth Social and other media that favor him, like Breitbart, are going to make much noise about him ending the tariffs.

This kinda makes sense, but people also see the market ticker on the bottom of the same TV screen.

The target audience for this doesn't care about the markets. They imagine tatriffs will scare the companies into giving the lower class more jobs with decent pay, and they don't have stock or even big 401ks.

They should notice a complete lack of improved pay over the long term though.

He’s taking JD’s advice and compromising with a couch.
