VANITY: President Trump announces 50% tariff on copper
7/8/2025 | self

Posted on 07/08/2025 10:27:37 AM PDT by Miami Rebel

I'm posting this as a vanity post because 20 minutes after the announcement, the only source that's published a story on this is Bloomberg, which doesn't allow re-ups.

Copper is already up 11% today, having already advanced 25% year to date.

“Well, this IS the Copper State.”

Tell me about it. When I get my water heater flushed every few months, blue mineral (copper) comes out like rocks.

“Today we are doing copper” This is nucking futs and no way to run a country. Not at all. Why copper, why today?

Somebody’s are making billions on insider trading and nobody can convince me otherwise. Meanwhile we lurch along.

This is just dead wrong disruptive.

“How is anyone supposed to do business when policymaking is this erratic and unpredictable?”

By making a deal with Trump. It’s not hard, they just have to treat the USA fairly. They are used to getting away with screwing us.

Copper is the 29th element. It is incapable of making a deal.

Fun fact: We import 45% of the copper we consume. If you think Chile or Peru are unfair in their dealings with us, target them, not the metal.

No shortage of bad pennies out there.

For how many decades now have the kleptcopperacy even had their own product line of birthday cards?! The joke's on us!

American Greetings, Hallmark... Bing Crosby. They're all in on it, patina themselves on the back.

Do zinc pennies work as well as copper ones for replacing electrical fuses? Asking for a friend.

I investigated many unconventional energy, mining, drilling, oil and gas, pipeline services, etc. companies to speculate on when we got our MAGA back. I hope the couple I decided to gamble on pay off YUGE. So far, so good.

I have a lot more research to do in this area and I foresee many great opportunities for those that put in the research work and the forward vision to speculate, trade, or invest.

Explain what you mean.

When business opportunities arise there will always be someone there to fill a gap. What’s the problem? Get on the MAGA and enjoy.
