He said he was going to double Canadian steel tariffs. The markets reacted harshly. He retracted that threat quickly. Market hate uncertainty. The DOW has gone from 44,800 to 41,400 since the dimwit took office, with a thousand of that coming in the past two days. I imagine him and his cronies are shorting the market like crazy, targeting the stocks tariffs will affect most. Insider trading like has never been seen before.

Please cite your 2024 layoff number.

The markets like Biden better.

I’m afraid it’s going to be 10 doing the work of 25. Not as simple as it seems.

A 50% jump is not minimal. A 2 day 1500 pt. drop in the DOW is neither minimal or coincidental. His idiotic on again off again tarriff threats are breeding uncertainty in the markets. He has no control over over that. If he stands on what he says about April 2 being the big drop date for across the board tariffs (which I doubt he will) he’s going to crash our economy.

That’s Trump. He cannot promise anything else but. “I alone can fix it”? Gimme a break. He’s P.T. Barnum with dangerous power.

The last president to make millions in the private sector before becoming President? Herbert Hoover. Business is not Government. They have vastly different objectives. Business moguls do not like to share power, and I understand that. Under a three branch system of government they have to. Perot was not going to “fix” anything. Instead, we got the best economy since the post war boom with a Democratic President who understood that power sharing was necessary to accomplish anything.

That President did not promise rainbows and unicorns if he got his way. Since being elected, he’s now talking “short term pain” while he works his manic. Who, exactly is going to feel that pain? Not the ruling class.

What’s the change in the last 2 months?

The deficit is the difference between annual receipts and expenses. The debt is what we have to borrow to finance the deficits. Trump set records on both scores.

Yes, he realized trump is working for Putin.

I absolutely agree.

Who will be next?

And who was it that was adjudicated a sexual assaulter, i.e. predator? Hypocrite.

No he’s not. He’s showboating. They’re not looking for waste. It’s a disguise for retribution. You know, the way politics is used in authoritarian countries.

That is a lie.

The Israelites were not “obliterated”. That is a far cry from genocide.

He’s not an effin auditor. He’s a successful narcissistic entrepreneur. He doesn’t have a clue about how OUR government works. He craves attention and money. That’s what got his new puppet to take him in. That and $270,000,000.

Musk doesn’t get to keep the money? Are you nuts? He launches those satellites for free? You people are coming unhinged. He should get contracts on a bid basis. That $270 billion he gave Trump ain’t gonna come free. I’d be surprised if Trump didn’t award him all of it to him on a cost plus basis. He don’t need no stinking competitive bids to hassle with.

Genocide’s the answer, then? Sick, and I don’t mean the cool sick.

So, if he decides all news sources offend him except FOX and Newsmax, then no first amendment rights are abridged? Your logic is way flawed, not that it matters in Trump World.

It’s mighty early, and his support is waning way before the honeymoon is over. CNN poll today, 52% disapproval.

I have suggested this before and been roundly chided by the crowd here. The new Secretary of Defense has just ordered 8% be cut from the military budget for each of the next five years. That’s over $300 billion. Why is it okay because Trump wants it? Sounds like a Putin dream come true. If anyone here defends this, you are nothing but a shameless sycophant.
