You saw what I own. Tried to discourage him, still a nice truck. Will it hold up????? Cummings is the best thing about a 3500. I’m guessing you do hot shot. Very competitive.

I kept my Son's 2011 Ford F150 5.0 Lariat to use as my work truck so I would not put miles on the Silverado.  It got 280K miles and does not burn any oil. Everything works. Vehicles of most makes last a long time with proper maintenance. My goal is 375K - then I sell or give it away lol

Have you looked at the market today?

it’s a dumpster 🔥.  Tariff impact is uncertain.  I have neighbors who are veterans that have had to place homes on the market because of being fired from their Government job.  All this celebrating and chest thumping like the economy is doing great and jobs are booming is just smoke and mirrors.  
He outright lied on day one.  The economy has not improved.

I tell you it’s going to be beautiful.  Yea right.

I had stocks for over 20 years. I’m no expert like some banned posters but I have seen all the ups and downs. Did you sell off? If not, you have faith in Trump and the fragile market…..and I did post  today. You should read before accusing.

That those sources don’t approve of Trump’s actions are a badge of honor and indicate he’s on the right track.

And we’re going to approve Newsweek as a credible news source?

Newsweek is in, gatewaypundit and Breitbart are out…got it.

[baddog]

This goes along with Reagan’s “art of the deal”. If you really want to know about someone, talk to someone who has worked side-by-side with them.

If he stays the course?  On the right track?

We can agree to disagree.  Those who held their noses and voted for tho Don are apart of those poll numbers.  People will not forget the big lie.  Gas groceries and healthcare are most important to all people and he has failed horribly in those areas.  Let us not forget 401k.  This King baby wants everyone to kiss the ring  Anyone who speaks out will be tarred and feathered.  What is sad is that the have's care less about the have nots.

How can you say he’s failed horribly when’s he’s only been in office 3 months?  And you’ll make money in your 401K before he leaves office, I have no doubt about that when I see negotiations that are taking place.  Groceries didn’t come down on day one, can’t argue that, but if the tariffs bring imports down and bring more jobs back to America, I’m good with it.

What some folks may not like is paying more for some items because they are now produced with a labor force making a livable wage rather than in a sweatshop factory.

From the article:

In response to China’s retaliatory tariffs and export controls, MP Materials, which owns the only U.S. rare earths mine, announced Thursday they will be ceasing shipments of rare earth concentrate to China.

He has done a lot of damage and yes in only 3 months.  He ran on a promise to improved the economy and ending the war.  The only thing he has done  is kiss up to Putin, made claims that Russia is the victim ,manipulate the market, fire veterans.  Did I mention he is a convicted felon.  A master of deception.  He continues to fire individuals who are responsible for checks and balances.  Now he wants to fire judges, fire Powell and threaten to arrest anyone who dare say anything negative about doge are a Tesla truck.
