      “What is Trump Thinking?” That’s a bold question Cotton. Let’s see if it’s anything. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Humphrey, you are a calm voice in the storm. Thanks for all of the consistent and quality financial content!

    Thanks Humphrey! Great video per usual!

    The common folks are the ones that are really gonna hurt from this

  • @yellowdrangon says:

    There arn’t any clearly DEFINED goals posts that we are trying to reach with tariffs and that makes all of this seem nebulous/pointless

    • @swarlly says:

      Yeah because if you make your goals known your enemies are going to do everything they can to ensure you don’t succeed.

      ​@@swarlly Or they can set goals so even if they come up short, they still had smaller goals hit

      Right now this administration capitalizes on being vague. If they keep the enemy and problems as vague as possible, then they can drum up much more fear and anger to problems that may or may not warrant that level of emotional involvement from citizens

  • @hclazarin says:

    “Tariffs at the time of this recording… ” Because they change like the weather in TX 😅

  • @mynameisjacobbb says:

    Thanks Humphrey Yang, you’re very good at explaining these things to us!

    Other finance YouTubers have a right leaning approach to the current admin’s decision making. Humphrey is honest and true compared to them.

      His information is totally biased actually and reflects his lack of doing research. He never once mentioned IP theft for example or the fraud and abuse of the “de minimus” policy. A fluff vid.

  • @Lawless_1 says:

    Great explanation

  • @a-z_33i says:

    “Don’t retaliate” So you’re being a bully? I’m confused.

  • @camaranpayne5355 says:

    It’s crazy cause we see this happening and we see the frustrations on Americans but what I never hear is how the Chinese civilians feel about what’s going on. I would love to hear their insight on all of this

    • @4bleson says:

      Because Chinese civilians don’t have access to free internet 😂

    • @kleec495 says:

      On the surface level, you could say Trump had quite a few sympathizers in China during the election period, but that’s no longer the case.

      In Chinese culture, “face” which representing dignity and respect is a big deal. So when Trump and Vince threw insults at China in their speeches, it basically triggered a wave of patriotism among a lot of people.

      On the economic level, most regular Chinese consumers don’t really use a lot of American products, except for iPhones and some parts in their computers. Tesla and Buick are pretty popular in China too, but since these products (including iPhones) are made locally, there’s always a chance the companies might set different prices just for the Chinese market.

    • @camaranpayne5355 says:

      @kleec495  interesting. I like your speculations on things.. but I don’t think you’re chinese. No offense. We can maybe think on how they feel about it all but I really would rather hear it from an actual Chinese civilian because I wonder if Xi Jinping is anything like Trump and how all of this is affecting them on a personal level.

    • @kleec495 says:

      @ Good observation, I am not Chinese. I just happen to have good exposure of their current situation.

      Perhaps an insight from someone who’s actually Chinese would provide more clarity on the question.

      I live in Vietnam and I literally watch the illegal transshipping practices from my window. I watch Chinese container ships arrive with all the stuff, enters in the port in Vietnam and leave again for America after some paperwork complete so it can be called “Made in Vietnam” and skirt the tariffs. They are so open about it, it’s nuts.

  • @Gel5345 says:

    Liberation Day will never not be hilarious. Two days after, people started to wonder if they would have to unretire. 😂

  • @clk25120 says:

    You can declare emergency on virtually anything

  • @BrightonZ says:

    I honestly knew that once markets really grasps that Trump is serious about tariffs, it’s going to hit hard. If the US cuts itself off from global trade, that isolationism is going to send shockwaves

    • @paulcharles-e5e says:

      Yeah, exactly. Investors won’t sit quietly. Once they sense the long term impact of these tariffs, I wouldn’t be surprised if we see a significant market downturn

    • @lindasuess5 says:

      People are underestimating the ripple effect. Companies that rely on imports or exports will take a hit. We could see a chain reaction affecting everything from tech to manufacturing

    • @elanstrongbow says:

      The volatility is going to be rough. Honestly, this is where a financial advisor comes into play. I brought one on board when the markets were getting unpredictable, and it was one of the best decisions I made. Helped me navigate these fluctuations and build a strategy that kept me steady

    • @jasminewalcott-k7d says:

      That’s interesting. I’ve been managing on my own, but with all this uncertainty, maybe it’s time to rethink that. Please who do you work with?

    • @elanstrongbow says:

      My CFA, Kelley Annette Lewis, has assisted me in navigating these complexities efficiently. She is a renowned figure in her field. I used her free consultations to my advantage

  • @laundrygoddess4 says:

    It’s so ridiculous that people say China isn’t being fair. You pay them money. They give you the cheap goods you demand. What about that isn’t fair? The tariff rate was never even close to what trump said it was so it was fair as far as economics go.

    • @sc5922 says:

      China sell one thing for 10 that cost 8, made a profit of 2. USA company then import it and sell that stuff for 50, made a profit of 40. so who is benefiting from the trade?

    • @trex1448 says:

      Don’t be so Chinese. China has been manipulating currency, stealing tech, placing insane tariffs and business conditions on foreign corporations and then stealing their businesses, not to mention temu and shein building entire business model on American subsidization of international mailing rates for developing countries, etc. The list is neverending.

    • @billinsf88 says:

      @@trex1448don’t be so undereducated: China has many US business operating in China and these businesses are sending money back to the US to benefit the country.

    • @BAOMANDO says:

      I live in China and products made in the USA are 3-5 times more expensive than local products due to additional taxes so yeah is unfair that products made outside of China can’t have a more fair condition to compete
