Are Democrats in Congress really going to bring up the subject - insider trading?
They're probably just mad they had to conceal their grift, while he gets to do it in the wide open with "total immunity".

"They were getting yippy."
Da F you say Donald?
That seemed like a completely acceptable presidential answer to give to millions of concerned citizens. Mr. Roosevelt, what's your plan for starving families that can't find work? They're just being yippy.

But seriously, who is going to pick the crops? Probably the lower class, right? That would end up predominately being POC. Your only answer to why they are the lower class is simply because they are the color they were born. That's not racist, tho. LOL

Hooked on Phonics: Mississippi's Education Reform Pays Off As It Leads Nation In NAEP Test Scores
The Left likes to pretend red states are backward, uneducated enclaves of MAGA-hat wearing Nazis. They'll tell you all day long how they are smarter, morally superior, and just plain better people than folks in flyover country. (often voiced by the lowlives here on PPP)
Except we've seen what happens in blue cities and blue states, and it's not superior to anyone or anything.
So it's going to really tick off the Left when they see that Mississippi is leading the way when it comes to test scores:
And Oregon is dead last.
Oregon did away with testing and graduation requirements in the name of 'equity',
which just means every kid who comes out of Oregon's public schools is equally illiterate.

The right like to pretend that they aren't living off the blue states and big cities. We call them backwards and uneducated, because they in turn call those blue states and cities the "socialists".

Your question suggests that you think Trump wants to take Canada down.
He literally wants to take Canada.

The government needs to cutback on spending, it's the only way. The people who don't trust doge are the ones losing their golden goose.
I don't trust DOGE, because I have no idea what they're doing. They're basically the plumber going into the attic, and when I ask why, he tells me never mind, because I'm not a plumber and I'm likely a "fraudster" for even asking. I DO like the mission itself, though.

So you proved your post touting one day of the stock market was wildly inconsistent with your past statements. Then when confronted on it you claimed you were making fun of people. You should run for office.
This is why I'm concerned of a recession under a Republican president. We'd then have to have a leftist president come into office and exasperate the problem. Just cut regulations, extend the tax cuts, secure the border, and let the free market work its magic. It's not that hard.
How about instead of tax cuts, it's a tax credit if they actually use that money to, you know, start a business. Giving the rich more money to invest in stocks does nothing but get more for the people that don't even need it. It also does zero for the economy.

Everyone has known this for years and years, including from 2016-2020. You think it's strange that people don't trust DOGE either? Especially considering that they pretty much do whatever they want with no oversight.

You literally posted the stock market chart yesterday claiming some great Trump victory and now you're lecturing me about overreacting to the swing in markets? Need some consistency here.
Bro, the only thing cheap enough for me to afford(including eggs) is DJT stock. Luckily, I bought some when he told me to. Unfortunately, that 'bargain price' only lasted a day.

DOGE is just the White House's version of Fox's laptop story(formerly her emails). Whenever the mouth breather's look thirsty or things aren't going well, they can magically find some new fraud, waste and abuse.

Zero. I'm a big kid now, and if I don't like what someone else is saying, I just stick my fingers in my ears, and humm loudly.

It doesn't matter what I want and frankly I don't see how you're response has anything to do with my comments about China and the Fed. Are you confused or something? You go off on some MAGA rant that is unrelated to, well anything. Exactly what economic "theory" are you proposing we follow?
After some inspection of the situation, my conclusion is these tariffs are misplaced anger. China and other developing countries that ship "cheap" goods into the US are not the villain. Its the doings of American and multi-national corporations that moved their operations out of the US in pursuit of cheap labor, lax environmental standard, and favorable business rules and regulations.
Trump should be targeted CEO's of those corporations, not leaders of our trading partners. And instead of looking to extend his corporate tax breaks they should be threatening them with windfall profits taxes if they don't get on board with moving some operations back to the US. Using Apple as an example, they sell an iPhone that costs about $25 to manufacture and charge customers $1,000. Tax their profits at 90%, let their stock crash, and investors revolt, and see the CEO's big pay package crash in flames. That will produce the desired actions and decisions in a couple minutes.
It seems trump is insistent that iphones be made here. The problem is that they will NEVER take that kind of financial beating. Instead, every single cent of the production costs would go to the consumer(and many parts would still need to come from abroad). I've seen ridiculous estimates, but it would easily double the price tag. The consumers reaction would be to find a cheaper product. Who wins then? Samsung. As for manufacturing, lots of these "cheap goods" are actually not bad for us at all, at least not personally. Our economy transitioned pretty well to a service economy, and we benefit from the cheap labor of other countries. trump has maggat nation believing they all took our jobs with good health care and pensions. What really happened was all the money funneled to the 1%, and the middle class around the globe suffered.

I understood it to be forced liquidation of highly leveraged Treasury bond positions of some large hedge funds rather than China selling.
And if it proves to be the case, what did they buy with the proceeds? Selling treasuries for dollars and selling the dollars for what? Or just holding the dollars? Maybe Gold from today's early morning action.
Or maybe rumors of China experiencing a dollar liquidity problem are correct? And the selling has more to do with stress in China's markets than responding to Trump?
Lots to think about and understand.
Yes it is. I read a lot of the bond selling was in Japan.

The only problem is taking the manufacturing from China is a pipe dream.

That's the problem. MAGA likes blunt talk, so I'll deliver it here. It's a group made up in significant part of low-information, and poorly educated voters. They simply don't understand that tariffs are a tax that, in what what will likely be vast majority part, are paid by Americans and specifically American consumers.
Yup they are sold stories of days past and returning grandeur, not actual policy. Has everyone forgotten the concepts of a plan, yet? Nothing they ever propose passes even the slightest scrutiny.

I doubt the maga's will read this far on the fox reporter piece e but holy shite. This is some of what he said. the rest is as bed.If you have a mass sale of bonds, that means people are losing confidence in the US economy, on the ability to do deals with us; and from what I understand, this is what forced the hand of this 90-day reprieve. Now, is it a good thing? Are people coming to the table? Yeah, but if, you know, if you read between the lines and not even what what Scott Bessent said, we have no deals, right? There’s nobody that is really there saying, “This is what we’re gonna do,” and they paused it anyway.
So, my thing is, well, I’ll give you this: there is some “Art of the Deal” here. And, by the way, brilliant move by putting China in the corner, but that’s a whole separate thing because remember, that’s a very difficult negotiation. Everybody else is a lot easier. They do want to deal with us — whether they want to be, you know, forced into really bad trade deals on their end is a whole other negotiating story
Any "deal" they make is worth the same as the "peace in our time" pact. The guy ripped up HIS OWN trade deal with Canada and Mexico(USMCA).
His own words on USMCA after signing it:
Trump praised the USMCA in 2020 as the “best agreement we’ve ever made”
"I will say that we just ended a nightmare known as NAFTA. (Applause.) They took our — they took our jobs for a long time. They took it for a long time. And we now have a brand-new U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement. It’s a whole different ballgame, and it’s going to be great for this plant. It’s going to be incredible for Michigan and for every place else in our country.
The USMCA is the fairest, most balanced, and beneficial trade agreement we have ever signed into law. It’s the best agreement we’ve ever made, and we have others coming. And, by the way, the China deal, two weeks ago, was just signed. And that’s going to bring $250 billion into our country."
Then in February of this year:
“I mean, who can blame them if they made these great deals with the United States, took advantage of the United States on manufacturing?” Trump said Monday. “On just about anything, every aspect you can imagine, they took advantage.”
He continued, “I look at some of these agreements, I’d read them at night, and I’d say, ‘Who would ever sign a thing like this?’ So the tariffs will go forward, yes, and we’re gonna make up a lot of territory. All we want is reciprocal. We want reciprocity.”
Who would ever sign anything like that? Uh, you did El Presidente. ....but Biden is senile.

It was a good time to buy. The problem for a lot of posters here is they couldn't see that because they're so emotionally invested in wanting to see Trump fail that they were blind to it. Rather they were hoping and praying for more carnage. Today's pause was greeted with the expected hostility. Foiling their dream of the demise of Trump or perhaps delaying it? We shall see.
Huh? If it weren't paused it would have been a HORRIBLE time to buy. The policy makers aren't supposed to be leaking buy/sell times and information. Imagine if Fed chairman Powell tweeted, "good time to buy" 15 minutes before he announced a half point cut. LOL
Edit: maybe you didn't realize, but DJT wasn't him signing the tweet, that's the stock symbol for his company. It's insider trading as clear as day.

Just now, Pokebball said:
the truth is probably somewhere in the middle
One is the truth; the other is what they're selling as the truth to save face. The dumping of the bonds was to show there was little support for the US position. That's what happens when a dummy takes on all his enemies at the same time. He must have never read any Sun Tzu.

It's literally what the pathological blonde bimbo liar and Bessent said happened. I didn't make anything up. They did.

Frank has never been right in his life. Neither has any of the leftists in PPP.
Your track record sucks big time!
The alternative would be to have to believe that 75 countries all thought he was bluffing, and when they actually dropped, they panicked and called him. Then in good faith, he paused them. That didn't actually happen, and we all know it. If he really had the upper hand, he would have held firm, and forced them to make a quicker deal. This is extremely time sensitive. They were dumping bonds like they were on fire.
