Strange a month ago I was worried about my 401K, right now not so much, but am worried longer term.
So where is the harm? I am not seeing it at this time. Something to add, even though GDP drops within margin of error, doesn't mean the US is worse off, just need to understand how its calculated to know that.

Clear violations of both The Domestic Emoluments Clause of the U.S. Constitution, Article II, Section 1, Clause 7, which prevents the President from profiting from their position.
And The Foreign Emoluments Clause, is a provision in the U.S. Constitution that prohibits federal officials from accepting gifts, emoluments (payments), offices, or titles from foreign governments without the consent of Congress. It's part of Article I, Section 9, Clause 8. The purpose is to prevent undue foreign influence on U.S. officials.

How cute AU, you think King Dotard XIV has ever read the Constitution.

In Trump's first 100 days, he alienated us from our allies, crashed the stock market, decimated U.S. cancer research, expelled American toddlers, lost the Canadian election by proxy, and threatened your Social Security checks.
But at least he focused on the important stuff.

I don't think that and never said that either. I'm stating what the Constitution says.
Trump isn't a reader. Not even the most urgent intelligence reports unless they have his name in every paragraph.

- So where is the harm?
In China? None. Here? Much of the actions by EO, from the guy who hated EOs, are AGAINST THE LAW.
And most of what's not illegal is ignorant and self-defeating for the People and the National Interest at home and abroad.
But hey, Vlad and his Oligarchs are almost as happy about it as Trump and his.

Trump is richer, everyone else is poorer, and you dont see the problem?
This is why you're lumped in with morons.

As a Bonus... here's one of the best talks by a true Conservative, ever. Funny, too.
How the Elite Rigged Society (and why it's falling apart)

I know, I was just being a smart 4$$. The worst part is that many who have read and studied it refuse to declare what they know to be true.
