“Best 9-day start to a Presidential term since 2013……..”

1. It’s only 3 Presidential terms - 2017, 2021, and 2025.
2. It’s only 9 days.

And only one was in the middle of a pandemic.

And it's excluding everything that happened before. Presidential terms don't really start on inauguration day. Trump was fucking with the markets since November and before.

Should Trump get more credit for the 857 points the Dow rose from 1/21 to 1/30, or more blame for the 337 points he unilaterally caused it to drop yesterday afternoon by announcing idiotic tariffs on our most important trading partners?

Shut the fuck up.

Wouldn't you say that the two biggest outliers would be a pandemic and a riot at the Capitol?

anyone supporting Trump's policy of firing all of any FBI agent who did his duty and participated in the investigations of Trump and the J6 rioters ?
I would be interested in getting the opinions of calla, ramrouser, and Hy

Their response will be some variation of, “He’s just cleaning out the deep state.”

Who knows yet if stocks will defy tariffs? The tariffs started today. When they were announced yesterday afternoon, markets lost over 1%. I agree with Zooview here. It's simply too early to tell. It's a risky and potentially dumb move. Most economists don't seem to like tariffs and Trump's power play is bound to do harm to our relationship with our closest neighbors and allies.

I wouldn't.

Results matter. Concepts of a plan don’t count.

I said that if Trump lowers the deficit I will give him props. Let’s wait for the numbers to make a determination.

The headline makes it look vindictive and petty. With trump it very well could be. I don't know enough about his core complaint or the details of his investigation other than the "raid". He was definitely targeted in his first election and the appearance of the fbi being politicized is there so I'm sure there are some that deserve to be fired and some caught up in who likely shouldn't be fired. That's what happens when you get people high up in the fbi stating they have to stop him or how ever you want to word it. Patel wouldn't be my pick.

Ordering workers back to office is a win.

What's the goal you are using to call it a win? Reduce payroll? Or is the goal to have an efficiently run but competent organization?

I want to thank the Trump administration for not blowing up the world today.

I'm all for getting rid of pennies, but how is this going to work? Are retailers going to be required to round all payments down to the nearest nickel?

Eventually? There are a lot of pennies out there. I doubt they will be invalidated (?)

I remember there being a penny shortage during Covid, and that was with continued printing.

And what % of pennies "out there" are usable, versus being stuck to the bottom of a cupholder, shoved deep into kitchen cabinets, filling little kids wallets and all the other inglorious ends to which pennies meet?

Maybe they’ll have a return your pennies drive? After that, I guess round up or down to a nickel on stuff.
