  1. Jobs rebounded from wildfire and weather which dampened the job market in Feb. Also jobs created in the transportation and warehousing due to front loading purchases in anticipation of the tariffs. March report is the calm before the storm.
  2. Trump’s tariff implementation should be targeted against EU’s trading discrepancies rather than a broad sweeping tariffs. The sectors that US see as unfair trade are automobiles and agriculture. Mind you, US enjoyed a trade surplus with the EU on service trade. Not a zero sum game but Trump seem to just bulldozed his way forward without any proper process. Perhaps because he is dumb as a rock.
  3. Good speech. Singapore is an open economy and zero duties and a trade deficit with US. Singapore also has a free trade agreement with US and yet they are hit with a 10% tariff. This is indeed trouble times for small nations with a bully in the White House.
  4. I wondering if Trump know that US has a trade surplus in the service industry. Service industry growth outpaced real GDP growth. Over 1 trillion USD in services are exported. The service sector has been declining with Trump's trade policy uncertainties and now the tariffs will be a hammerblow as recessionary and global growth fears weigh on the sector. Trump is reckless and don't grasp the totality of his tariff war which will drive down the world economy. He is surrounded by sycophants and cowards who are gutless to speak out.
  5. What is also helpful is having DOGE be more transparent with their internal records.
  6. Careful what you wish for. Those gonads are your own people especially the lower-income households. It's estimated that it will cost the average household $3,800 per year. Ouch.
  7. Democrats favors a mixed economy and generally supports a progressive tax system. higher munimum wages, social security, universal healthcare, public education, infrastructure development and clean energy investments. Trump is bringing a chainsaw to wreck all these. I will give him credit for charming and lying to the people and winning the election. 3 months into his Presidency and the country is isolated by close allies and facing an impending recession.
  8. Putin announced his biggest conscription drive to recruit 160,000 soldiers. The war is far from over and he is not packing up. Nothing that TRump said about Ukraine can be taken seriously.
  9. Oh really ! 10% tariffs on Jan Mayen? The island is uninhabited. Trump is an idiot who doesn';t know what he is doing and poorly advised by his self-serving economic advisers.
  10. I know what reciprocal meant but what I dont understand is how Trump calculate the reciprocal tariffs. You seem to be in the know. Please explain. Thank you.
  11. Not the Democrats but the hundreds of mental health professionals warned of his cognitive decline. Waiting for his release of his health information, not his tax return. Anyway he failed to release his recent returns for the 2024 election.
  12. Are you disagreeing with your dear leader that Russia started the war? Putin need the war to stay in power. He is stringing Trump all along. Trump has been played and is embarrassed by all his shortcomings that he lashed out at Putin. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/reversal-trump-says-russia-attacked-ukraine-rcna193299
  13. He should release his health information. Why the secrecy. Harris revealed hers. He rambled a lot and his unintelligible speeches raised questions about his mental decline. Playing DJ and abruptly ending a town hall doesn't help dispel questions on his cognitive decline.
