Yes, it’s the unpredictability and instability that will cause the recession.

Bond markets are the indicator, if they fail, which countries will lend the USA money?

@YogaladyToronto

Plus, the USA 🇺🇸 has now tarnished its reputation as a stable, reliable trading partner, and a safe place to invest. It will take years, maybe decades to undo this damage.

@deannevictor536

The fact that entire economists are ignoring the fact that this exact sequence of events have happened before, and we all know the proverbial straw was the US defaulting on their debt (which likely will happen this time too) is maddening to me. I'm officially done listening to these hacks.

If I had the first, smallest, inkling that this man had a plan and/or knew what he was doing and understood the repercussions, I would feel hopeful - 
BUT I DO NOT

@hhschrader8067

if efficiency all over the place is reduced this will reduce demand. if demand is reduced you will get a recession. So I agree, all this uncertainty is bad. it hinders investment which also reduces demand. but tariffs directly also reduce demand.

@johnl7468

There will be a shortfall in demand if folks can't afford things (not to mention if they are saving and not spending out of fear) - which means contraction... which leads to...

@guldenakdemir2493

This tariff isn't going to cause a recession but will call a depression.

@alans9117

Already there. Recessions are always recognized in retrospect.

@JohnDoe-xz1mw

just because tariffs dont cause recessions doesnt mean fashism doesnt..as far as i know, that one pretty much always does.

@CptApplestrudl

A big part of the problem is that not even the US companies know whats going on. Deals are usually running over multiple years, so how can you calculate prices or profits in advance if you cannot know what the tariffs are going to be in a month?!

@beckys8877

Not everything is available Domestically, even at a higher price.

@henrykang3736

This is why the dollar is weakening. Uncertainty erodes trust.

@throckmortensnivel2850

Capital loves stability.

@WilliamBechtold70325

I'm seeing stag-flation in our future. A recession would be awesome at this point.

@dylapoo

NYT just bring him back full time

@ChrstnaG-c9e

Tell us what exactly a recession will do to Joe and Jody USA middle class or jobless or disabled or retired. I’m retired. Decently informed. Into politics and current events but I don’t know what a recession really means.

@edmundlively8137

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. It's the uncertainty that slows the money. Velocity.

@thisisgusman
