I'm glad the left is getting on the no-tax bandwagon.    Maybe the left will now support budget cuts at the federal level. 

just so the left doesn't bail out on the increased debt ceiling!  I do feel for those less well off people that are going to have benefits cut for the rich tax break but maybe that will be cut out too.

The US and China have agreed a deal that will significantly cut the import tariffs, or taxes, both sides have imposed on one another for a 90-day period.

Oh jeezz - this is going to give the lefties a headache and a panty urination

Another loss by the master negotiator. China had him for breakfast.Some people never learn other can't learn.

This epic stock market performance is 100% thanks to Trump. Im sure we all agree in richly praising him. Great idea to gift him a plane to thank him. Happy days!

This is the equivalent of praising an arsonist for helping put out a house fire they started, even though half of the house is gone.

It will be interesting to see what their next whining topic will be.

 

Stand by while they think of something.

Only a leftist would have that in their mind.

Oh my god, what a shocking retort. Not sure how I'm going to come back from that.

They found something much sooner than I expected.

Hahahahahaha. So much for the Great Depression. Lots of folks here with egg on their face, again. Keeps the membership revitalized as they skulk off in abject embarrassment, later to rejoin the Trumpderangerettes under a new and trolling identity.

 

PS: As many of the more intelligent members here have recognized, the stock market is the stock market and it does what it does. 

 

I havent seen some of the Emojinauts recently, so just to remind them, the thumbs down button is off there to the right. I like to keep a count of losers.

Yes, wow Nasdaq up almost 4%.  Dow almost 1,000 points.  Seems it will be a great day. Winning!

 

So the goal of the tariffs wasn't really about reshoring American jobs and isolating your Chinese enemy or stop paying them to build weapons to use against the US? It was all about stock market manipulation.

[Yagoda]

Here is a great take on the whole trade war gig, as I am listening to Gordon Chang talk about bank runs in China

Actually its schadenfreude via laughing at all the Trump-is-in-my-head-he-is-the-source-of-all-evil folks who fell off the reality seat when the market went down

Huh. How did we lose? Hows the price of eggs and gas?

I hope the leftists sold AT THE BOTTOM.

Art of the deal for Trumpinator 👍

 

My portfolio looking good today.

 

I always warn green investors against going all cash or, even sillier, buying physical gold or craptocurrency.

I think you are blowing your Trumpet a little early but enjoy a few hours of glory. USA has many issues to be resolved and the master negotiator has given a massive warning to the world re his trust worthiness which  will also cost the USA.

What's so silly about physical gold, especially high grade certified gold coins?

[Colki]

I find some comments quite astounding. Americans will pay a 30% Trump tax on Chinese made goods and you say he is a master negotiator. 

 

Could you please explain the logic of your claims.

Markets go down - lefties complain 

Markets go up - lefties complain

When people complain, no matter what, they just become (as per Fetterman) a car alarm that nobody pays attention to.

Markets go down - MAGA's ok as Trump has a plan 

Markets go up - MAGA's gloat it was all part of the 'big plan' even though it's still worse than what it was before Trump got involved.

 

When people can't even see that all is happening is he is creating the problem to then ride in on a white steed to proclaim he's solved the problem (and one more time for the hard of comprehension - the problem HE started) whilst still not actually solving the problem (remember it was supposed to be about trade deficits and re-shoring jobs) then I think you economically illiterate fans should start listening to ANYONE who is rightly complaining.

Do you know that the lower end also had a tax cut?   The increased standard deduction was helpful for them along with the changes in the 12 and 22% brackets?
