Tariffs Strike Back! Will Trump's Trade War Save the Galaxy?

A Great Disturbance in the Force There Is

Hmm a new disturbance in the Force I sense. Tariffs imposed they have been. By President Trump yes. Steep they are. On goods from many worlds even. 86 planets...erm countries now feel the pinch they do. A path to the dark side this is? Or a necessary sacrifice it is? Difficult to see always in motion is the future.

China the Empire Strikes Back They Shall

China hit the hardest it has been. 104%? A hefty price to pay hmm? A 20% duty a 34% extra and a last minute 50% increase! Fear leads to anger anger leads to hate hate leads to...tariffs? Beware the dark side young Padawans. Trade wars fun they are not. Repercussions we will see.

Lesotho and Cambodia: The Underdogs Awaken

Lesotho also in the mix it is. 50% duty they face. Cambodia not far behind with 49%. Underdogs they are. But strong in the Force they might be. Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size do you? Hmm? And well you should not. May the Force be with them these small nations. Resilience they will need.

Stock Markets Fall You Will?

The markets a downward spiral they enter. Four days of losses! Worry investors do. But the White House unconcerned it seems. "America will be rich again very soon," says Trump. Hope that is. But blind faith it can be. Careful we must be. For the path to riches not always straight it is.

Asian Markets: A Bear Market Approaches

Asian markets feeling the pressure they are. South Korea's Kospi entering a bear market it is. Uncertainty spreads it does. Fear it breeds. A chain reaction this could be. Control your fear Padawans. Fear is the path to the dark side.

Hmm What Does the Future Hold We Wonder?

So what now? Will these tariffs bring balance to the Force? Or lead to more suffering? Patience we must have. Observe we must. And remember: Do. Or do not. There is no try. May the Force be with us all... especially the economists. Great need they have.
