Trump's Second Term

[Jack by the hedge]

You are of course absolutely correct, but it doesn't identify any particular dates and it's exactly as valid today as it was then, so I don't think it's that big a deal.

I'm kinda with stanfr here. Some remark like "meanwhile, 5 years ago" would have been appreciated. As it was it looked like maybe a comment on his mental decline, but it's more interesting as a reminder he was always this stupid.

Has this been the plan all along? I.e., to get hundreds of millions of small scale investors, looking at their life savings being decimated by Trump's blanket tariff policy, to use bitcoin and NFT's as "safe" havens?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Reindustrialize!

Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent
@SecScottBessent
The data is on our side. President Trump's plan will reindustrialize the United States, revitalize the private sector and raise wages for hardworking Americans.

 

[Andy_Ross]

Have you talked to any tech leaders over the weekend about tariffs.

I've talked to the biggest in the world. I talked to the biggest of them all, many of them. You know what they said? We don't blame you.

Who did you talk to?

I don't want to say.

The question I want someone to ask Trump is "Have you ever responded to a question in public without using a superlative?"

 

[Andy_Ross]

Trump (2012): "I do better in bad markets. I buy things in bad markets. You can't do that in a great economy. There's a lot of opportunity I find in the bad times."

I agree.

But did you see the news that Generalissimo Francisco Franco died?

But that's not as big a drop as the Asian markets so the USA is doing greater!

Nothing to see here, just all gains since December 2023 have been lost. No biggie /s

Brutal. At 9:30A my watch started pinging me nonstop - Apple, Amazon, Schlumberger, Dominion Energy, and on and on hitting new lows.

We’re better off than most, but having a year’s worth of gains vanish in just a few trading days is still depressing.

Oh, you needn't worry about that: those jobs will be eliminated, along with millions of others. What's left will face race-to-the-bottom conditions with competition from millions of other applicants!

But it's all worth it for Trump's golf game. Did you hear? He's doing very well!
