Fear of Trump's Tariffs Driving Americans into Debt! One in three Americans is stockpiling daily necessities like toilet paper and non-perishable food out of fear that President-elect Donald Trump's pledge to raise tariffs on imported goods will drive up prices! According to a December report from CreditCards.com, which provides information on credit cards and financial literacy, about 34% of respondents said they were hoarding certain items because they were "afraid or uncertain about the future." The organization surveyed 2,000 U.S. residents in late November. Trump has repeatedly stated that he will impose tariffs on foreign goods, promising a 10% additional tax on Chinese products and a 25% tariff on all goods from Mexico and Canada. Economists have warned that these tariffs could likely drive up gas prices and contribute to domestic inflation.

With the suspension of U.S. aid to other countries for three months, the Taliban government has informed its employees that their salaries will be suspended for up to three months! Am I misunderstanding this, or do you think the same as I do?

Deep Seek with a budget of $5.4 million? After the unveiling and release of this AI, along with its incredible performance despite such a low budget, it raised doubts about advanced American chips, leading to a drop in Silicon Valley stocks. Of course, the entire market, including stocks, gold, crypto, and others, was affected. At the end of the day, technology is what truly leads the way. 😉 https://asiatimes.com/2025/01/deepseek-shows-trump-tariffs-doomed-to-fail/

Has the Israel-Gaza War Truce Been a Real Defeat for Israel? Israel has not withdrawn from northern Gaza and might never do so. Meanwhile, Trump has called for the displacement of Gaza's population. Egypt, which was the strongest opponent of relocating Gaza’s people, may no longer resist such plans. Recently, Trump cut U.S. aid to all countries except Egypt and Israel, making it highly likely that Egypt will not oppose the relocation this time. Israel has also received Mark 84 bunker-buster bombs equipped with satellite-guided kits. And........

If a weather website tells you that today will be rainy and another says it will be sunny, your job is to ignore both, and look out the window. 🌀 Be cautious of the advice you receive from others.

Do you think, under the following conditions, Trump can easily impose tariffs on Chinese goods in a way that Chinese traders wouldn’t prefer to sell their bonds or withdraw their capital from the U.S.? Or that the Chinese government's pressure wouldn’t affect the investments of Chinese traders? China's trade surplus stands at $1 trillion, with $360 billion of it coming from its trade surplus with the United States. Despite this positive trade balance, China's economy has faced challenges because Chinese companies preferred to invest in the U.S. or purchase bonds there, earning higher returns instead of bringing the money back to China. Recent policies implemented by China to stimulate the market have been somewhat successful. For instance, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) revised its GDP growth forecast for China's economy in 2025 from 4.5% to 4.6% and for 2026 from 4.1% to 4.5%.
