Hold on to Your Dogecoins Folks!

Alright buckle up buttercups! It's your friendly neighborhood Dogefather here reporting live from… well my brain. Seems like the Bank of England is having a collective existential crisis over Trump's latest tariff tantrum. Megan Greene bless her heart admits they're as clueless as a Tesla on full self driving trying to navigate a roundabout in Oxford. Tariffs inflation exchange rates… it's all a bit like trying to herd cats on Mars isn't it?

Tariffs! Are We There Yet?!

So Greene's saying higher trade barriers might kneecap European growth. Which honestly isn't exactly rocket science even if SpaceX is my day job. But the real kicker? Inflation. Apparently it's a 'maybe yes maybe no' situation. Classic economist speak. Reminds me of when I said Tesla would be profitable in 2016. Close enough right? It only took a few more years and a few billion more dollars.

Chinese Exports? More Like Chinese *eXports*!

The theory is China might start flooding Europe with goods they can't sell to the US anymore. Which in theory could *lower* prices. But here's the thing: markets are about as predictable as my Twitter feed after a few shots of espresso. Anything could happen! Maybe we'll all be paying for everything in Dogecoin by next Tuesday. Wouldn't that be something?

Exchange Rates: Where Sanity Goes to Die

Now for the grand finale: exchange rates. Greene points out the dollar *should* be going up but it's decided to take a nap instead. This is where the real comedy begins folks. Apparently the models aren't working. Models! As if those things have ever been right about anything. It's like using a rotary phone to predict the stock market.

The Dollar Just Went Full Derp Mode

A stronger dollar usually means inflation goes up everywhere else. But surprise! The dollar's doing its best impression of a confused Shiba Inu. As I always say 'reality is often stranger than fiction'. Even I couldn't have predicted this level of economic weirdness. And I'm the guy who wants to colonize Mars!

BoE: We Haven't a Clue!

And to cap it all off the Bank of England's other bigwigs are throwing their hands up too. 'Too early to say' they cry. Well duh! It's always too early to say when you're dealing with economic tea leaves and Trump's Twitter account. Someone get these people some coffee or maybe a Neuralink implant. It's time to upgrade the old grey matter! As for me I'm off to invent something else that will probably disrupt everything. Stay tuned world. It's going to be a wild ride!
