The rub: Trump could transition to Pronouns and still be recognized for his Orange character!

 

Imagine having real journalists instead of leftist activists spin!

 

Unfortunately we cannot....the MAGA PR flak banned anyone not funded by right wing think tanks from the briefing room.

At least we won't have to worry about North Korea

Not many here understand America very well. We drive on the right side, we walk on the right side. In this country, the right is right. The left is unnatural in our country, thats what non Americans dont understand 

I really don't know how you cope with the steering wheels of your cars being on the left hand side. It must be so traumatizing.

Down with the dollar: Why Trump wants to weaken the US dollar — and level global trade 20-25%

Thailand will become a bit more expensive for our MAGA friends.

Interesting that any good economic news is attributable to trump, and any bad economic news is Biden's fault.

 

 

I guess a Biden stock market reaching all time highs is bad economic news, and shares in free fall thanks to Trump tariffs is great news for the short sellers.

@Yagoda Bringing economic news that's supposed to level up 47 but actually is not very good at all. No wonder he is an American economic refugee in Cambodia.

"Despite what some commentators currently view as an extraordinary cash position at Berkshire, the great majority of your money remains in equities," Buffett reassured Berkshire shareholders in his annual letter in February, referring to both the stocks and businesses that his company owns.

I looked at the data by sector. The biggest impact in having inflation come in at 2.8% vs a higher expectation was a drop in energy prices.

 

The reason energy dropped is because the market is pricing in a Recession, and thus less demand for energy.

 

I did note Rent was up at 4%, egg prices at an all time high, and the effect of a 30% jump in steel prices and a 20% jump in limber prices since the end of January did not yet impact the February CPI, as it takes a while for wholesale prices to filter down to the consumer level, which is the CPI.

 

The MAGA spin on this just makes them look as intellectual empty and ignorant as they are. Kind of like their love muffin, who barked about whomever it was who signed the energy buying deal with Canada. Turns out it was 45. It seems senility in the old coot is rising faster than the price of eggs.

Ok, so inflation is higher than in the Biden term. And the value is unreliable because it was pre-tariff war.

What was the point of posting the inflation number? It is now irrelevant.

sheer desperation,  they have nothing else to feel good about, wait until the correct numbers come out, quite sure none of them will be posting such numbers
