I find you can learn a lot about a person by what they tell you they don't know. It takes a good bit of confidence and self-reflection and humility to admit you're ignorant about a subject.No. Trump got an economics degree from Penn. And that means he must know what he is doing.
Or so it’s been said on these boards.
All part of the plan, bro.Interestingly, there are provisions in the NAFTA that allow companies to sue governments when violations of NAFTA inhibit their investments. So in addition to all the tariff costs, I would imagine the government will be paying out billions to private companies. I've not heard that reported anywhere, so maybe the investor protection provisions of the deal were quietly erased sometime in the past two decades. But perhaps everyone is just too overwhelmed.
Did he give any specifics for this immigration plan, or is it just, “you fix it or I’ll impose tariffs?”Prices were a key issue in 2024, but Trump makes clear they're not his top priority
Trump's promises to bring down the cost of living were a big reason he was elected, but since taking office he has now twice said that's not his top priority.
"They all said inflation was the No. 1 issue," Trump said about the presidential campaign as he spoke to supporters at the Capitol following his inauguration address. "I said, 'I disagree. I think people coming into our country from prisons and from mental institutions is a bigger issue for the people that I know.' And I made it my No. 1. I talked about inflation, too, but you know how many times can you say that an apple has doubled in cost?"
…
Again on Monday, Trump reiterated that immigration is the bigger issue.
"I always felt the border was first," he said in a speech to congressional Republicans gathered at Trump National Doral Miami Golf Resort.
"I talked about that much more so than I did inflation," Trump said. "I mean, inflation was terrible. I think it was the worst in the history of our country, but you can only talk about it so long. The price of apples doubled. The price of bacon has quadrupled. Everything is a disaster. And you say it, and then what do you do?" …”
Crypto is a big part of the play, but I fear Musk’s ambitions go well beyond just getting richer off of crypto.Crypto is the play. These anarchists think they can make trillions off the backs of gullible Americans and Trump is all for it. We have to keep our eyes on that ball.
LOL. Rubio’s op ed is bootlicking nonsense starting with the “sweeping victory….mandate” introductory paragraph.Rubio’s op-ed actually makes a ton of sense.
Tariffs on Mexico and Canada would be a new low for this egomaniac.
It does. You just have to separate the wheat from the chaff (designed to keep DTC happy).Rubio’s op-ed actually makes a ton of sense.
Any “messaging” would be dismissed as Democratic whining and “liberal tears” by those who need to hear it. I don’t see many GOPers in Congress with the balls to resist Trump in any way. Many of them understand the threat, but the also understand the threat to their reelection when they get tagged as RINOs. There aren’t many Adam Kinzingers left in Congress.Dems better come up with a messaging plan to start screeching about this shit. And work overtime behind the scenes to get their Pub congressional counterparts willing to stand up to this crap.
LOL. Rubio’s op ed is bootlicking nonsense starting with the “sweeping victory….mandate” introductory paragraph.
Then he goes on to say “Covid exposed the fragility of America’s dependence on far-flung supply chains. Relocating our critical supply chains to the Western Hemisphere would clear a path for our neighbors’ economic growth and safeguard Americans’ own economic security” just a couple of days before Trump imposed ridiculous tariffs on our closest western hemisphere allies.
He then tries to reinforce the bullshit narrative that the “Chinese Communist Party” is actually running the Panama Canal setting up nonsensical justification for Trump’s coming invasion.
“makes a ton of sense.” JFC, how gullible do you have to be to swallow this load of jizz?
Between the orange juice tariffs and the fact that the workers won't show up to pick the crops for fear of ICE, I wouldn't buy orange futures.![]()
Booze, oil and orange juice: How Canada could fight Trump tariffs
As Justin Trudeau warns Canadians they could face "difficult days" ahead, here are four options for retaliation.bbc.com
I got more lucky than good when I sold about 60% of my F stock at 14.11, in July. It was in direct response to Biden's obstinance and very clear polling indicating ttump's strength. I still have about 3-4% of the portfolio in F, and don't mind riding that a bit given their consistent dividend. F has also produced some of the best hybrid and electrics outside of Toyota, so I think they've reasonably planned. They still don't have great reliability rankings, though that seems to be disproportionately weighted on the F150, which somehow remains a great selling vehicle, despite decades of unreliability.Ford is particularly at risk here.
It also makes sense in terms of shortening our supply chains, and minimizing reliance on China for basic products and services. But the fluffing of the Fuhrer makes it hard to take the good parts seriously.It makes sense through the lens of controlling the western hemisphere. Which is what they want. Controlling the southern border, taking back the Panama Canal, annexing Greenland & Canada.
