Trump​ ❤️ Tariffs

[4th&long]

Trump should put tariffs on the stock market. That will teach them stocks. 

[Big Blitz]

 

[SectionC3]

Which economists agree with Trump and JD?  I'm going to guess not too many.  And does the market agree with Trump and JD?  Looks like not, since the money is fleeing to Europe.

So MAGA believes in the economic policies of an idiot who went bankrupt six times over the market experts. Another reason why Trump loves the uneducated.

127 newspapers closed last year, following a trend of 3300 newspapers folding since 2005.

 

So sure, TARIFFS!

 

It couldn't be that hardly anyone bothers to read a physical newspaper any more.

 

The newspaper explicitly mentions lack of readership, lol, and other long term issues. The reason we’re discussing this is that the paper also mentions that increasing costs due to tariffs as being a cause of their closure. But we’ve got ***** gaslighting clickbait outlets like Twitchy saying the paper didn’t mention tariffs at all…and an ignorant target audience who lap up the misinformation because they can’t rub two brain cells together.

 

The gaslighters would be better served to point out that Schumer’s tweet was oversimplifying the issue and insinuating that tariffs were the main cause of their closure, which is obviously untrue. But that approach would require honesty and admission that tariffs are hurting Americans, which is not acceptable…they only want decisive wins…no losses, truth be damned.

A masterclass, lol?

 

A series of follow-up questions from an actual journalist would be, “how long will this plan take?, how much fiscal pain will the average American have to deal with?, will there be financial support for those suffering financially?, which economists support this plan, which don’t?, have the impacts on relationships with longstanding allies been considered?”

 

But sure, a masterclass economic mind at work.

That’s like telling someone it was “mostly heads” if you flipped a coin heads 51 out of a 100 times.

well no.  that would be 51/49.  this was 51/47.  but your analogy is more apt for the popular vote for president.

The hispanics won it for Trump.

 

 

they played a role especially in places like Fla or Texas.  But there are many Hispanic voters in that earnings demographic.  I might even say most but I'm not certain it's over 51%.  We'll leave that to Doc Brown.  Neverthelessless, there are more voters making less than 100k than there are purely hispanic voters.  please fact check me, doc!

None of those questions were asked when prices across the board spiked from 2022-2024.  

 

None of those questions were asked when 15 days became indefinitely.  
 

 

The answer is “when we get this ship right” that’s the answer.  
 

Or just continue printing and throwing money at the problem.

I don't expect this administration will stop the money printing. But I do expect them to eliminate all these liberal causes and NGO's employing 100's of thousands of activists, agitators, and democratic party officials and foot soldiers from the list of beneficiaries. That at least, looks like the initial goal.

Bankruptcy is used by tons of businessmen. Your tds is showing.

You get fooled by the propaganda you indulge in, and then call others nitwits. Just the most pathetic people, and so easy to fool.

 

BTW, the publisher is responsible for all content of a paper. So when they decided to cite tariffs as one of the final straws that forced them to fold (in the lead story, lol), they probably didn’t feel the need to repeat themselves. 

They know it - I hope.  if not, they're hopeless.  Posting a dishonest piece typical of alt right media and getting caught is disgraceful.  They've learned from their evil leader - "never admit you're wrong".  Of course, the publisher OK'ed every word in the front page story.  And of course, the dishonest author of the shyte right blog, read the front page story before posting this bs.  This is how they roll...

 

btw, do you remember actually reading a physical paper?  I love having coffee and paging through when staying in a nice hotel with a view.  You need to turn the front page to get to the editorials....Bman likely has never done that?

and that's going to help increase your personal discretionary income how?  but you'll "own the libs".  Bravo, retribution will be swift and substantial....

So "mostly voted for Trump" is 51% to you?  I see that as a tiny majority.  I do appreciate you doing some research on it though because it's interesting.  Why do you think they swung their vote that much?

your intellectual dishonesty is hilarious if not profoundly sad.  you asked for data.  I provided it.  you reject it out of hand, without data to support your "argument".  btw, what does race have to do with it?  look it up.  As Frank pointed out, there are plenty of whites in that demographic including Vance's family members.  losers....As far as why the losers (like you?) changed their party, it's multifactorial but anger, resentment, the longing to believe in an economic and cultural messiah and the belief they have found someone who (pretends to) listen to them all play a role.

if I was worth $150 mil, I could live with that error.  As it  is,  I can live with that error.  If the market doesn't bounce back within a couple years, I will have to live with the error of not pulling out, but much less comfortably.  So what are you doing with your market holdings right now?  let's see how your prediction works out in 1 or 2 years.  Go on record.

I'm not concerned about how any of this will increase my discretionary income although my investment portfolio has never been higher than it is today because months ago I adjusted my strategy for the new realities instead of wasting time whining about a 5% drop in the Dow. 

 

I am cheered by the idea the political class of leaches and vampires sucking the taxpayers dry while producing nothing of value, many accumulating multi-million dollar fortunes while looking down at the common worker (telling them to learn to code!), will be getting nothing of value in return. And with luck will be relegated to living in a van down by the river.

 

Saw a nice quote today:

 

“The left became hideously, ostentatiously, unapologetically corrupt (as ruling parties tend to do). They sold out bigtime and got bigtime rich. You want to know why none of them want to cut waste anymore? because they’re the ones stealing it.”

Good for you.  Looks like you don’t have much confidence in trump or America based on your investment choices.

 

Maybe you can fix consumer confidence, next, which also is in the tank.

so you timed the market?  just remember that you need to time your return into it.  you're halfway there.

 

I sense some anger and resentment.  perhaps I'm in error.
