Thank god for an island of sanity amid the crowd of screechers. This topic is descending into a crescendo of Trump hate madness, wow.

Remember though, they just shout what the media tells them to shout, scream what the influencers tell them to scream. You have to pity them.

 

BTW, any country cancel negotiations yet?

And you shout out what exactly?

No countries can have a successful negotiation with an authoritarian who can simply change policy with a tweet and leave his trade scretaries in the dark for negotiation. Meanwhile China, EU and Canada are retaliating with tariffs on USA imports and more. Trump hate madness is justified.

Questions. 

 

Here is one for you: In light of the current economic situation in the USA in conjunction with the world economy, please formulate a tarriff plan OPPOSITE to that of President Trump that is designed to increase American industry, reduce Americas debt, and ensure a level trade playing field.

 

Further, in light of ongoing trade negotiations (none have been cancelled) what should Americas general position be on tariffs? Equality?

No, dump all of the tariffs.

I case you don't know,it is tax payers who are paying the tariffs.

I think without tariffs the US would lose because they can not compete with lower labor cost countries.

No tariffs would make the playing field more level.

How much money could you make if you had a tip that he would announce the "pause"  a day before?  Billions upon billions?  How much could  you make if he declares next week that a few countries who he met with did not sufficently lick his boots so tariffs are all back on?  Billions? 

 

Its very nice to be rich.  Hey maybe i will donate a few hundred million to my good buddy down in florida ..even play a round of golf and tell him how great he is... Tell  him: "Got any republicans senators or house who criticize you?  No problem I will donate a few hundred million to support someone to unseat them in an election. By the way do you have any new announcements coming soon? "

 

You scratch my back I scratch your back.  The skys the limit.

 

And are there any such thing as SEC investigators to look into insider trading ?  I suspect they have all been fired or told there will be no such investigations period.

It's been a while since I traded options, but I suspect a lot. 

 

Here's the latest S&P 500 options. Some are up nearly 10,000%. So you put a billion in and get 100 billion out.

Every body.

That way people worldwide can enjoy the lowest prices for goods they want to buy.

If individual countries want to discuss tariffs among each other that would be fine.

No country in this world can do without products coming from else where.

Bullying other countries into giving in will only work for a little while.

Two days in this case.

International trade is always a two or three way street.

You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.

No need to say please,just negotiate in an honest way.

You seem to see any argument as a personal attack,how can we discuss if you act that way?

Yes i do want result,a good honest result for everyone and that can be done is everyone is willing to listen to the other sides.

Who says negotiations have to be "honest". You are either a winner or a loser.

Well sorry but i totally disagree!

In real negotiations there are no winners and no losers.

You give and take until you decide on a mutual agreement acceptable by both sides.

Was Trump winning or was he losing?

If the EU and Asian countries had been smart, they would have negotiated free trade deals with the U.S. years ago...

Oh wait, it's Trump who trashed the TTIP and TPP deal projects!

Well, let's look at what just happened. Trump blinked. Or do you think it's just an amazing coincidence that as the bond market started to crumble, he reversed course? Even Trump acknowledged the seriousness of the bond market stampede.

So, 90 days go by and let's say Trump doesn't get much in the way of concessions. Is he going to go the same rate again. Once again threaten the bond market and the world economy?  You think other countries haven't noticed that he blinked? Why wouldn't he blink again?

Sure. That's way the world economy hasn't grown a bit since various trade regimes were negotiated since WW2. You make an excellent point. In Oppositeworld.

So you cant answer my questions except go on another Trump tirade.? Trump madness.

What tirade? Trump blinked. He reversed course. He acknowledged the seriousness of the situation. Why won't the same conditions that led to his reversal recur again in 90 days if he has insufficient success via his tariff threats?

Especially for those in the "inner circle". Be interesting to read who made significant trades in the hours before the announcement.

Were you so irate over the Pelosi's insider trading? No. No you were not. Why so triggered by the notion of insider trading with zero evidence now?  Does highlight the importance of single standards and integrity, neither of which are possessed by the hivemind.

Trust in Trump led me to take full advantage of the crash. Thank you Mr Trump, you never let us down.

More unproven allegations from you. Please share with us the hard evidence that Pelosi or her husband engaged in insider trading.
