I give him a D. Dishonest, Disloyal, Divisive, Derogatory, Distrustful, Disgraceful, Disingenuous.

I don’t care to know how it works. Can’t be any harder to figure out than Facebook (don’t do it either), and they have 3.5 billion users last I read. Complicated, it can’t be.

You ignore the point. Uncertainty caused a drop. If things stay uncertain the drop will continue. November looms ever larger.

Steady as she goes, of course. I was just seconding your statement that business doesn’t like uncertainty.

DOW down 660 on uncertainty created by the Chaos-in-Chief.

I don’t play on X. Besides, it is not a legitimate source of facts.

Tomato, tomato. Difference is, his tariff actions will have to be either temporary or approved through appropriate channels. As I’ve said, Trump doesn’t play well with others. If he wants it, it is deemed appropriate. This won’t end well

Read his words on Truth Social posted be Reagan above. “Any country that wants to”play games” with the ridiculous Supreme Court decision” basically better watch out. Sound like he’s going to ignore it, or replace it with other illegal means.

Not according to what he said in Reagan’s post just above.

Any tariff levied under IEEPA authority is illegal. If importers refuse to collect, what could Trump legally do?

Question for you regarding Trump’s bellowing about other countries better pay up regardless of the court ruling. Other countries don’t pay tariffs. United States importers pay the cost of tariffs. If they are deemed illegal by the highest court in the land, how does the Orangutan in chief force any importer to pay? It would be against the law if they did.

If the court makes a ruling you don’t like, give it the one finger salute and do what you want to anyway. A fine example of citizenship from the country’s leader.

What does the other one want? To control social behavior using a different set of values, or just let social behavior run its course with no attempt to shape outcomes?

Classic too many dollars chasing too few goods.Too few goods wasn’t from lack of productivity as has been the case historically. Fiscal policy did slosh too much cash into the pot, but inflation dropped more quickly than in past cycles when inflation inventories caught up. That’s just the way I see it.

Global supply chain disruption was more responsible than policy. More effective leadership going in to the pandemic might have softened those blows.
