uh huh. Strategic tariffs. Not 10% around the globe, 25% on cars. 100+ % and growing on China. You're an idiot. I'd much rather her doing the dealing than your moronic, obese, mentally ill (narcissistic personality disorder) cult leader. He's not winning. He showed today that he's losing. If you can't see that, good luck winning personally. No man. He's just a liar. He's good enough at it that idiots on this board believe and defend him.

She's so much smarter than these rubes. Prophets are rarely appreciated or recognized. It's in the bible. Perhaps one of the maga fanatics here can quote chapter and verse.

nah, I'll listen to the banker in my bookclub. And what about China? Ya think if pushed hard enough, the Japanese or any country buying US debt won't retaliate? They'll use every weapon available as will trump. He and you both need to read the "Art of War". Much better than the other bs art book.

it's 4.72 right now dude. pull the trigger. you are so full of shite. it hit 5 overnight before trump balked. https://ycharts.com/indicators/30_year_treasury_rate here's a helpful site for you to invest https://www.treasurydirect.gov/marketable-securities/treasury-bonds/ bill vs bond. educate me "captain" https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/033115/what-are-differences-between-treasury-bond-and-treasury-note-and-treasury-bill-tbill.asp

He lost. The good ole boys (D edition) were talking tonight. Bond market caused the fold by trump. t bill's yield went up due to Japan and Euro dollars leaving T bills. They can do it again. China didn't even participate. We don't hold the best hand. This sucks...nobody had a good answer as to what to invest in. It's unknowable with this asshat in control.

that's easy to say in retrospect. NC and catturd were posting pics of trumps leaking ear and pronouncing he'd never surrender...churchill like. except churchill was amazing. trump is a buffoon.

How many ways can you saty "stark". Even in 1997. but you do you. other strange people also seemed to like it. The Boatman's Call received almost unanimous critical acclaim upon release with many reviewers citing it as Cave's most poignant album. Writing in NME, James Oldham concluded that the album is "a stark look at all that he's been through, recounted with withering bleakness and arid humour", noting "Cave's magnificent lyrics, riddled with comic misanthropy and New Gospel humanity", and "their starkly beautiful accompaniments".[6] The magazine rated it as the 23rd best album of 1997

if they're paying $1/hour for labor in China (likely much less), you need a tariff of somewhere near 1000%. for manufactured goods. This isn't rocket surgery...

regret that much of America is stupid? you bet.

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

I suspect we had near calamity in the bond market. He was told. He finally listened. And he tried to save face and the US economy by capitulating. This could have been worse than too big to fail 2008 near disaster (which also added trillions to the debt).

He changed his mind. Wasn't gonna work for him

paywalled but this was definitely the straw that broke the camels back. Hope the risk has returned somewhat to normal but I doubt it. No one trusts us. And for good reason.

When was the last time a 30 year T bill promised 5%? Make a case as to why it's nonsense. You're clearly interested. Can't make that excuse. Gasparino is Fox senior business reporter. Not exactly a liberal. https://www.mediaite.com/news/foxs-gasparino-argues-trump-didnt-outsmart-the-world-and-tariff-drop-was-forced-by-bond-selloff-those-markets-were-imploding-last-night/

A 79 yo adolescent narcissist is trying to run the global economy. The real masters of the universe are looking for a hitman.

some of these conservative comments are priceless https://www.mediaite.com/trump/this-is-all-so-stupid-conservatives-exhale-then-fume-about-trumps-mercurial-tariff-pause/ I would have taken retiring on time over being this right about everything. Markets obviously happy about this, but the problem is not solved until Congress takes away the old man's car keys. 11:05 AM · Apr 9, 2025

I'm an Amy Winehouse fan but never heard this til today

an oldie but goody https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5240966-john-kennedy-trump-tariffs/

Apparently he's floating higher taxes on incomes over $1 mil with R congressmen. So more capitulation but in a good way. he needs to pay for the 1 trillion he's proposing for defense.

yes, and he blinked and now you're happy. A recession is still likely. let's see what the big investment houses now predict. Last I saw JP Morgan said 45%. Let's see what they say tomorrow.

exactly. And this is precisely why 30 year T bills hit 5%. Nobody was buying because they've lost faith in the USA. but we wouldn't expect maga's to understand that. They think we can survive in isolation. These treasury rates were probably the biggest factor in trump's capitulation. without buyer for our debt, we are screwed.

you and Jack...got any investment advice, dummy

The tariffs still in place are 5-10x's more than under trumps 1st term per Larry Summers. They are still historic. That is not a free market. And the sword of Damocles still hangs over investors heads in 90 days. geez, I was beginning to think you'd outgrown the cult. And manufacturing jobs,? Some NC cultist congressman was just crowing about how this will bring back manufacturing. That it was all a poker game. Sorry, I don't want a guy who bankrupted multiple businesses gambling with my investments.
