You don't get out much, it seems.  Maybe you've been banned from all search engines for inappropriate queries.

Why should I use a search engine when I can just ask the person who first quoted it to edify me?

Oh. Got it. If Trump adjusts something, its a "blink". Notwithstanding your total and utter ignorance of why the decision was made and who had input, its a "blink".

 

Carry on with the Trump Hate Madness then. Sad.

Straight As all the way I guess.

His father paid the school to have his transcripts sealed and that's why you havent seen them. One of the facility commented during an interview several years ago that he wasn't a very good student at all and there's been no evidence to refute that statement.

"The fact is, ..."

That's, actually, not a fact.   Even if it were, so what?

 

Fact.

Victor Reklaitis explains it quite succinctly;   A year ago, he was serving time in prison. Today, Navarro is Trump's key adviser on the tariffs that have roiled markets.  Two years ago, Peter Navarro wrote a 30-page policy paper titled "The Case for Fair Trade" that urged the next Republican president to take aim at "those countries that have relatively large trade deficits with the U.S. and apply relatively high tariffs." Navarro wrote that China, India, the European Union, Vietnam, Thailand, Taiwan, Japan and Malaysia all belonged in this category and should be targeted with big levies.

Navarro's plans for trade were the basis for half a chapter of Project 2025, the Republican policy guide published by the Heritage Foundation think tank. He wrote about "nonreciprocal tariffs," called for "the onshoring of a significant portion of production currently offshored by American multinational corporations" and warned of opposition from "hedge funds of Wall Street and tech entrepreneurs of Silicon Valley."

 

The WSJ was  more specific. https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/peter-navarro-trump-tariffs-48dc0b74

 

Navarro's policies  do not reflect Republican positions on trade, and Navarro was brought into the Trump collective by Jared Kushner. Trump didn't know who he was until Kushner introduced him in 2016.   Marc Short, who had served in the first Trump administration and is now  Chairman of the conservative interest group, Advancing American Freedom,  had this to say, "It's not always the best idea to take somebody fresh out of jail and put them in charge of your trade policy, as Peter Navarro is right now,"  Trump's "liberation day" tariffs aren't truly "reciprocal," as initially promised. "It's branded well, but that's not really what this is"

 

It matters because  Navarro is an idealogue. His views are "theories" and do not reflect nor take into consideration  market realities, consumer behavior and how businesses operate. Navarro has no business experience. He taught economics. That's  why it matters. The operator of a small car repair shop has a better grasp of market realities than Navarro does.

 

It is telling that you are enamored by a former Democrat who's theories were rejected by the party and voters and is anathema to fiscal conservatives and market competition supporters. His theories were previously rejected and ridiculed and this is where he has gone to exact his revenge.  You do know that Navarro tried to get elected as a Democrat representative back in 1990, don't you? He couldn't get elected when he rebranded as a Republican either.

Why Do you Pearl clutching anti Trumpers always project you emotional instabilities on to Trump supporters!..... they are not regretting a single thing, Trump is doing exactly what he said he was going to do....thats what they voted for. I would add  'get over it' but its clear you all never will. DJTDS is real

Donald Trump became famous on a TV show that was designed to find someone to make himself richer not the rest of his fellow Americans, there has to be a clue there?

The man about to ruin the worlds economy CV, with any unfavourable points obviously redacted as he does!

Key points:

• 🎓 Degree: Bachelor of Science in Economics

• 🏫 School: Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania

• 📆 Graduated: 1968

• 📚 Focus: Real estate and finance (Wharton offered a real estate concentration)

• 🧮 No known advanced coursework or honors specifically in mathematics or academic economics

Academic Performance:

• Trump has not released his grades or transcripts, and there is no public record of him excelling or specializing in mathematical or theoretical economics.

• He has claimed Wharton is "the best school" and that he "was a good student," but these are self-reported.

• A 1983 New York Times profile stated he was not on the Dean’s List, though he did complete the program.

So, in short: Trump has a B.S. in Economics from Wharton, but there’s no record of standout achievements in math or economics academically. His real expertise grew more from business and branding than academic theory.

#MAGA: Made All Goods Astronomical

Don't need a degree in anything to know that the way the world is presently being run, by the rich, for the rich, isn't sustainable. Whether Trump does it or the mob does, it's likely to go the way of the Russian nobility in 1917, sooner or later.

They just spout forth from the press release as if it is gospel.  "Hive minded" style as you say.

The irony for the MAGA blowhards long on dollars via the exchange rate and 401 funds is they along with many others are going to be rinsed as Trump wrecks the finacial plumbing of the world. The global financial community has increasingly perceived Trump as unreliable, leading to a growing trend of nations diversifying away from dollar reserves and U.S. Treasuries. This shift is a primary driver behind the surge in gold prices, effectively reversing the Bretton Woods agreement. This divergence is occurring while Trump receives praise domestically.

The impending financial crisis, though yet to fully materialize, poses a substantial threat. The U.S. government's massive debt, which is largely financed by foreign entities that once viewed the U.S. as a safe haven, is now at risk. With diminished trust, higher interest rates will be required to compensate for increased risk. Furthermore, Trump's proposed tax cuts will exacerbate the situation, creating a downward spiral of federal financial instability. This could jeopardize essential programs like Medicaid and Social Security. That's what winning looks like but on the plus side we only have 2 genders.

 

 

 When the gold price is soaring, we should all be afraid

Donald Trump is at war with himself – and putting the might of the US economy at risk

I've said it before, but I'll say it again. IMO the present world order is built by and for the benefit of the rich. IMO it's unsustainable, because it depends entirely on exporting jobs to the most exploitable nations, and it needs ever increasing growth, like one of those pyramid scams, to keep the money coming in. Neither is indefinitely sustainable, and it was going to fall down eventually.

Whether it was going to happen now or later is irrelevant.

I doubt Trump is the cause of the collapse, though he may have hastened it by a few years

 

My generation had the best of it, but once the world population exceeded 5 billion, IMO it was heading inexorably to doom.

You just can't have half the planet's population attempting to move to the rich countries and that system survive.

 

 

and that's not even mentioning the destruction of the environment, which may result in water wars and widespread famine. What happens when the water from the Himalayas dries up, leaving over 1 billion people without water?

Very true — the collapse is incoming, and you're right: Trump or no Trump, it's baked into the system. At the end of an empire, they rise and fall. (Though China has endured far longer than any in history — six to seven times longer than the U.S. so far.)

Trump’s delusion is that he believes he can fix it. His powers of persuasion and low cunning have roped in half of the U.S., betting it all on one big red or black spin of the global roulette wheel. But in reality, all he’s "fixed" is the massive wealth he can skim through insider trading — for himself and his cronies.

The Western billionaire class could have allowed much of that wealth to flow back to the middle and working classes — the very people who earned it, and upon whom society is built. Instead, they’d rather ride rocket ships into space.

We’re all going to die anyway. And for those of us still here, there has never been a better time to be alive — to understand our world, and our fate.

"Even the blinkered Trump and MAGA fans must smell a rat now?"

 

Yes its true. We now realize that

 

The Biden corruption laptop was Russian disinformation just like the left said.

The Big Guy was Hunters drug dealer

China destroyed lab records and did not allow investigations out of love and kindness.

Forcing us to be jabbed with the clotshot was for our own good.

Bidens Afghan withdrawal was not chaotic and was Trumps fault.

Gender is fluid and huge dudes battering the 7 bells out of dainty lasses in boxing is the perfect fair sporting event.

Global warming is real we're all doomed and only Republicans are dumb enough to buy sea level mansions(which funnily enough are able to be insured)

Consensual sexual activity between adults is worse than molesting a child in the shower.

The gold standard of safe storage of stolen classified documents is in a crackden garage next to a Corvette.

Biden was sharp as a tack, there was no orchestrated coverup.

 

And on and on and on and on and on
