Trump just threatened a 50% hike on China tariffs. I wonder how the market is going to respond to that.

What continues to impress me was how dispassionate and even tempered was criticism of Obama and Biden. I can still recall the cold and sober way that Donald Trump questioned whether Obama was a natural born US Citizen and how Trumpists here on aseannow.com concurred. And how reasonable and accepting he and they were of the results of the 2020 elections. And how measured and scarce was their criticism of the Biden administration. You people are an inspiration!

It was actually save the frogs who introduced the subject of BLM Fem's chest hair. In fact, save the frogs seem powerfully obsessed with BLMFem.

It depends why they're lower. https://www.macrotrends.net/1369/crude-oil-price-history-chart Are they down because of a decline in demand? Or because of a surplus of supply? At any rate, whatever the reasons, they certainly don't provide economic support for Trump's "Drill Baby Drill" push, do they? Of course, oil drillers in the USA have been skeptical about that for quite a while.

President Trump had vowed to lower energy prices. His friends in the oil patch never dreamed he would do so by upending the global economy. https://archive.ph/iHpeb Drill Baby Don't?

I assume you meant this as a nonsensical reply. If so, you've succeeded. If not, that's just sad.

And has been repeatedly pointed out, all the developed nations and most of the other ones experienced sharp inflation as the world economy emerged from Covid. So why blame Biden? Maybe a common cause should be considered, instead?

I think it's just due to arrogance on their part.

Maybe that's the problem. But if it is, do that before tinkering with the software.

The problems come as the Trump administration’s cost-cutting team, led by Elon Musk, has imposed a downsizing that’s led to 7,000 job cuts and is preparing to push out thousands more employees at an agency that serves 73 million Americans. The new demands from Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service include a 50 percent cut to the technology division responsible for the website and other electronic access... Many of the network outages appear to be caused by an expanded fraud check system imposed by the DOGE team, current and former officials said. https://archive.ph/FQfBu

You really want to bring up the issue of LLC's? Big mistake. This is from the Marxist-Leninists at Rupert Murdoch's Wall St. Journal: How Donald Trump’s Web of LLCs Obscures His Business Interests The opacity of his holdings makes it impossible to gauge the full extent of potential conflicts he may face as president https://archive.ph/bBmSW https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-donald-trumps-web-of-llcs-obscures-his-business-interests-1481193002

To date, there has been no proof that Joe Biden profited even by a nickle from Hunter Biden's activities. And while it may be legal for the Trump to do what he's doing, it wouldn't be legal for a member of the cabinet. Lawmakers never imagined that a President could be so sleazy so they never put restrictions on them.

You mean like launching a Trump memecoin just days before he takes office while promising to reduce regulation of crypto? That's just one of his many scams, And the take was far more than even was alleged that Biden took. And I stress "alleged" since you repeatedly make these claims and every time you bring up something specific I shoot it down. And the Trump family is actually deepening its involvement with crypto.

It seems to have escaped Khun LA's notice that Trump has just imposed a huge tax increase on Americans.

I looked at that video for the first minute. It started out by saying that everything was going according to Trump's plan. They news reporter knows that how? I mean Trump's own people said that the tariffs weren't a negotiating tactic a day before Trump contradicted them. It just went on like that from there. She was acting like a cheerleader; not a reporter.

RFK Jr says he’ll ‘follow the science.’ https://thehill.com/opinion/healthcare/5119322-trump-nominee-kennedy-senate-hearings/ Sure, he will.

Do you not remember that it was you who raised the issue? "Bigger market dip in Covid 2020. Interest rates were kept too low, too long then markets rose but inflation higher by 2022. Of course, Biden just kept spending on Build Back Butter, or some such dairy initiative."

Both those companies' foundings occurred before the Nazis took power. Maybe it's time to send you back to the classroom.

The key word in BLMFem's comment is "even". Which is a reference to their political biases..

Given the Trump administration's recent crackdown on not just freedom of speech but a person's right to counsel, it doesn't look any better at all.

These charts do not show that Democrats, or for that matter, most Americans "China is the cause of America’s relative decline." No doubt there is a strong element of hostility based on economics. Especially lately considering how China's economic policies do little to boost internal consumer demand but instead focus on exports as a way of digging itself out of the economic hole it has dug for itself. But there are other reasons to disapprove of China. And it isn't only Americans who disapprove of China. https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2023/07/27/views-of-china/

Funny how rightwingers cast shade on employment figures during the Biden Administration but now treats them as gospel. Also, these numbers came before Trump's Liberation Day plan was released.

The thing about black swans is that they are rare and unforeseen by most. I don't think that's the case here.

Paul Samuelson, the Nobel Memorial Prize Winner for Economics, once remarked that the market has predicted 9 out of the last 5 recessions.

Let's all stick to American reality.
