Joe Ferguson forever

so it's ok for trump to "troll" about a 3rd term but 4th posting facts is not ok?

Et tu Elon? Ackman? trumps economic advisors are on an island. Almost no economists or masters of the universe agree with them. trump could save face by throwing them under the bus. But he won't. He never admits he's wrong https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trumps-economic-team-faces-flood-of-tariff-critiques--even-from-top-white-house-allies-162649574.html We stopped at Wal Mart for some essential groceries on our way thru town this am. Prices are already higher than last week on many things. Many empty shelves, especially meats. maybe they missed a shipment. I wondered if they were repricing relatively expensive stuff. who knows. but inflation is going to roar if he sticks with these tariffs. And many maga's will be hurting.

Splain.

I have no debt. Every man for himself. Lutnick strikes me as sleazy

Smart people didn’t vote for trump unless they were in on the swindle

link? so how are the rubes going to benefit?

Which would make some sense if the rubes would benefit. but they won't. and this is an own goal. the rubes are to blame. they elected this moron and continue to. btw, in 2008, we adapted. that's what is required. sad that it's required now because a large group of dolts believed in a conman.

where have all the MAGA's gone? Checking their portfolios? Meanwhile, Jamie Dimon is waving the distress flag: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/jamie-dimon-warns-of-slower-growth-higher-inflation-as-tariffs-reshape-global-economy-were-not-in-kansas-anymore-101743849.html "The quicker this issue is resolved, the better because some of the negative effects increase cumulatively over time and would be hard to reverse," Dimon said in a section on the state of the economy titled "We're not in Kansas anymore." "In the short run, I see this as one large additional straw on the camel’s back,” Dimon added.

Well? can't even formulate a deflection, can you.?

Do you agree with what he says about trump tariffs? If not, why? Critique his thesis here.

yeah, it's just junk bonds. moron https://www.reuters.com/markets/global-market-data/

MAGAs quote Sowell when he says things they like. NC even quoted him today . So why would they ignore this? https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/legendary-economist-says-trumps-tariffs-could-replay-devastating-history

hmmm, how much did the dollar lose to international currency and inflation in that time? Undoing all the good in 2024 is GOOD! YAY trump. liberating us from our money

"What's going to happen to the market? I can't tell you. But I can tell you our country has gotten a lot stronger, and eventually it'll be a country like no other," Trump said. "It'll be the most dominant country, economically, in the world, which is what it should be." Trump also turned to Truth Social on Sunday night to weigh in on the tariffs. "We have massive Financial Deficits with China, the European Union, and many others. The only way this problem can be cured is with TARIFFS, which are now bringing Tens of Billions of Dollars into the U.S.A.," the president wrote. "They are already in effect, and a beautiful thing to behold. The Surplus with these Countries has grown during the 'Presidency' of Sleepy Joe Biden. We are going to reverse it, and reverse it QUICKLY. Some day people will realize that Tariffs, for the United States of America, are a very beautiful thing!" Well I feel much better now. How bout you blitz? how much you got at risk? 20% of a house?

nope. Canada would still be good friends. He knew that good friendships and good neighbors are invaluable. agreed he wouldn't be happy with the deficit. No one is. But you are no Reagan R. You're a trump cultist. A follower of a manipulative demagogue that he warned about. He's not going to help you. It's every man for himself. Sink or swim. Not my preference but I'll play to win. You?

I'll clap when my portfolio goes back to baseline even if my expectations, based on his braggadocio was a significant increase. Just get us out of here. market seems unconvinced...oh, and inflation which was supposed to be stopped day 1.

keep wearing that DT cheerleader sweater and waving those pom poms...Donnie loves him some cheerleaders and beauty queens. He should have been unelectable for many reasons, most importantly his criminal record. Hell, grabbing by the puss$ should have eliminated him from consideration from 1/2 the electorate. Can't imagine that would be pleasant. But I agree. America is still far too racist to elect a black, female prez. I blame Biden and his enablers for that. He dropped out far too late. History will hold him accountable.

I actually think he was educated but failed. So he's chosen anarchy and false hope. pathetic.

When Republicans were decent and smart (and I was counted among them)

I think he's equating disability to SS. Many of the con artists do in fact, live in trailers. It's not an opulent life but then again, they don't need to work.

Should we not know? We're paying the bills or at least the interest on the bills. ie we're stockholders (some more than others, ie not most maga's). Does it need to be secret for him to make a "deal"? BS, in many cases we're dealing with allies. Think of the bullies in your schools. How did they do in life? He is a cartoon. No independent thoughts. but there are good cartoons. "Flow" deserved the Oscar. He doesn't deserve anything.

why do you think it hasn't been done. I have a theory! firstly, they'd likely catch some of JD's family or at least friends. Also the states they'd find the most offenders in are MAGA strongholds. Think Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi, Kentucky etc... Yup. sick of giving hand outs to people who complain about the government giving handouts.

As I said, empathy level = 0 a this point. they believe they know better despite repeated losses in nearly every aspect of life...

except for disability which is rampant in Vance's neighborhood an in many maga hoods. Why isn't musk looking for waste and fraud there? Lots to be found and arrests to be made.
