So the Republicans have the inside knowledge but it's the Dems that benefit from it? Fracking he**, there's no way to win against this lot! Stole a national election right under the noses of the GOP, managing a deep state that does all kinds of mischief, doing insider trading when it's the GOP that's on the inside!

Can't win, can you. Might as well give up!

Right, of course everything Trump does is the Democrats or Biden’s or George Soros’ or Bill Gates’ fault.

 

The good Christian, Jesus praising Republicans would never be involved in any corruption, would they?

Looking at the reactions to these two posts I get the impression that something is changing.

There’s no use arguing with these people BLM. They can only respond with their silly macho man insults about safe spaces or “making the libs cry”. Pathetic really.

[charmonman]

Once again the corruption and/or incompetence is out in the open for everyone too see, but tens of millions of Republican voters are too brainwashed to see it and Republican politicians are too cowardly to call it out.

BE COOL. 

 

JUST. 

 

BE.

You are way out of your depth here. Trump is the clear winner. He has countries lining up to give the US what he wants. Just to lower tariffs. This man is a genius the likes of which we have never seen. Even Andrew Tate is watching in awe. Trump top G.

Silly question. The ones who knew he was going to do it.

Everyone knew it when he advised before his announcement, "This is a great time to buy" so no insiders!

Had he not said this, there might be grounds for insider trading, yes?

[BexMan]

Personally I can’t see this being planned, rather having to act as the ”law of unintended consequences” took effect in a number of ways..

 

 

 

Bond markets began retreating and the free fall of stock markets around the world.

 

West Texas Intermediate fell 20% to their lowest levels since 2021. 

 

Fears of a global recession and trade war heightened and consumer confidence dropped and a deep recession was likely. People who had planned to sell funds or stocks, to finance certain expenditure, had to put those plans on the back burner until prices went back up.

 

Perhaps the most unforeseen consequence was that some Countries began seeing China as more friendly than the USA and China was moving to exploit that situation. As a result of the tariff China was trying to project the image as the protectors of free trade. The recent Bangkok meeting involving Cambodia, China and Thailand where they discussed enhancing economic ties being one example. 

 

While some of these events were predictable, the full extent wasn’t. So to save face it the message was “We told you if you didn’t retaliate we would reward you” (big China dig) and “it was the art of the deal”.

 

Reminds me a bit of the infamous Liz Truss mini budget of September 2022.

Yes, I heard about this more than a week ago. Trump's billionaire friends sold their stock before the tariffs were put in place, and then bought them back when the stocks were down. Now, the stocks are up, and they've made a big profit. That's what Trump's all about. 

You'll to have to do better than that.

Which friends, which shares? How much, when did they sell and when did they buy back?

You're also assuming it was his plan all along when the media is casting it all as a panic, knee jerk response.

Why don't you stop crowing until you actually, if ever, see some signed tariff deals!

Which he said after he and his cronies had sold and he knew that nobody would buy on a falling market.

"We're not looking at pause in tariffs," Trump says. 

That was just 2 days before he did.

Conveniently Trump appointed Mark Uyeda, the chairman of the securities and exchange commission, the agency responsible for overseeing market manipulation and insider trading to his post in January 2025.  An "investigation" will be unlikely.  One of the benefits of appointing a buddy who knows how to play ball.  No point in wasting valuable government resources on a nonevent.

Truer words have never been spoken.

Which Countries Are Retaliating and Which Are Negotiating Trump's Tariffs?

Add "Shifty Schiff" in the mix and you get wash, rinse, repeat.
COLLUSION:
IG Report Confirms Schiff FISA Memo Media Praised Was Riddled With Lies Nearly two years later, the inspector general's report vindicates the Nunes memo while showing that the Schiff memo was riddled with lies and false statements.

You must not have read the post I was answering to. I have followed Trump (not by choice)  and his antics for what must be over 40 years now. There isn't much he could do that would surprise me.

The world is now laughing at him and he will be no longer trusted,even by MAGA.

Putin is having a party .

He said himself people are kissing his ass.

Not true his staff is now wiping his ass.

Master plan?

Not very likely.

This is how you write a post!

So all readers can understand it!

Keep it short and do not use big difficult words!

You see?

No sad or confused emojis (yet) lol.

When he went off about that, the first thing I thought: "But, Mr. President, did you bother to call any of them before you enacted the tariffs?"  Nothing but a clown. 💩
