Heartbreaking
Not an either/or. You can do both.
You could have fooledANYBODY
Nothing fake. DJT is doing this now.
Christ, you got a bug up your ass today just like Blake. The DOW got creamed, it's Friday & you're both flat-eared.
DOW was up 200 before Trump opened his yap. Billions in market cap went poof because Trump is an impetuous jackass.
China is the US's largest trading partner. Ordering US businesses to find some other market to sell in is unrealistic, to say nothing of high-handed.
Where in Article II does it give the President of the US control over private commerce?
Oh, pardon me, I thought you wanted it to crash.
Nope.
I'm not rooting for a crash.
When the economy crashes most people eat and suffer, but rich folks have a generational opportunity to buy the dip.
also, crazy world, managed retirement plans depend on the stock market. crashes can ruin folks at or approaching retirement.
In this best of all possible economies, 1 out of 7 bankruptcies is a person over 65 -- a fivefold increase in that cohort over 25 years. The 2008 crash has something to do with that.
wanted? no.
saw it coming? eyup
It's too bad Trump is such an economic moron.
Ordinarily, I like to say that presidents can't move the macroeconomic needle, but wrecking trade with our biggest partner right when the rest of the world seems ready to tip into recession -- plus whatever other chaos DJT petulantly throws into the stew -- could tip us into recession, which would be bad for the country and bad for DJT.
Oh, pardon me, I thought you wanted it to crash.
Nope, just concerned DJT might cause it to happen.
Fed Chair Jay Powell didn't blow a $1.5 trillion hole in US fiscal revenues without any corresponding rise in economic growth. Jay Powell isn't alienating our most important trading partner without regard to US businesses with Chinese supply chains and markets. That's all Trump. , he's about to lay tariffs on the EU.
You know nothing high school drop out
Hah, I wish. I really wamted to drop out my senior year.
I had six years of science and six years of math in four years of high school. In comparison with the rigors of my high school, the first year or two of college was disappointing, laughably easy.
How do you presume to know anything about me? Are you psychic, ducks?
If you graduated high school in the US you might have heard of the Smoot-Hawley Act.
If you had, you'd know that tariff wars can be -- and usually are -- a lose-lose proposition. No winners.
Going on economic might alone, can the US win a trade war with China? Not rhetorical, anyone chime in.
Trump abuses emergency powers, but in fairness, most of his immediate predecessors did similar.
Just because something is legal doesn't mean it's beneficial or even a good idea.
What's the emergency?
Unitary executive, imperial presidency and so forth is all fine until someone you dislike holds power.
Once the other side gets power, you'll change your tune, Chris
I've been complaining about it continuously for 20 years regardless of who holds power, that's one difference between me and you.
