Lfthnd doesn't get sarcasm, even when it's obvious. It's sad, unless you use it to your advantage.

Massive cave in - and we got nothing from China. What a master negotiator.

I thought Russia was bad - that whole Witkoff, hand on his heart, "I looked into Putin's eyes and saw his soul" redux was sickening.

Now Witkoff's off to negotiate with Iran. Witkoff that just learned how to spell "nuclear."

What could go wrong?

Along with Musk. Deport the actual criminals.

#13 - with the dollar weak as it is, and people swapping US dollars for Swiss Franks? With China already in full divest the US mode and reaching agreements with other nations? I'm not happy about my retirement fund right now, however if taking a hit now results in trump being neutralized for long term benefit, I'm all in. Let's hope, at the least, we get that in the midterms. If we really get lucky the GOP will finally find a spine and neutralize trump tout suite.

#9 - #10 - You two just keep on jerking each other off talking about women's feet and whatnot, while pretending you're not holding another man's junk.

#3- yep - Trump caved after all his bluster telling US to not be "panicans" (he's proud he invented that word), and of course - worse.
His 10% is still stupid.
China boosted to 125% now - dumbassery out of control

Ludnick is a blathering idiot with massively high opinions of himself.

Now with the cave-in by Trump, watch him claim victory as the 'greatest negotiator ever'. Lmao!

That fool may want to ask what value employees at Walmart that have to use SNAP benefits add to the economy. Or the same of the McDonald's employees in the same situation. Shall I keep going?

"We're getting things done. It's going to be very interesting to see. It's going to be a very interesting year. We have an interesting time. We're making a fortune with tariffs, $2 billion a day. Do you believe it? I was told $2 billion a day. You know, I get hit by the press about tariffs. We're making $2 billion. This isn't $35 million. That's peanuts. $2 billion a day." - The Idiot-in-Chief, Donald John Trump, speaking at the NRCC last night.

He is now going after pharmaceuticals. Get ready for really high prices. DJT - "Killing Americans is what I Do Best!"

And yet there's no evidence of this "order"
But you will repeat the lie.
It is who you are.

#36 - Let me be clear: There is nothing you can post that I will read or give any credence. I will not waste my time. I am giving you the courtesy of knowing that I will not respond directly to anything you post. You are worthless in every sense of the word. Truly a waste of DNA. I look forward to the day you are recycled into something more valuable. Perhaps a planarian. At least then you'd have some intelligence.

Tariffs are taxes. Period. Full stop.

That these idiots can't figure that out, or demand that the truth be ignored in favor of the flat out lie, is stunning to me.

#10 - The lie is what that poster stated in #8 and #6. The rest of the posting from all other users are factual, truthful, or obvious opinions. Only one poster here is lying. That is the inveterate liar known as ShrimpTacoDan.

Evidence?
lol.

No, US consumers will not pay the tariffs.

Idiot. Total idiot. Nothing that idiot posts should be bothered with unless you're bored and just want sport. What an idiot.

#9 - you assume a lot so you can shoot it down and claim a victory. That's called "strawman" and it's a logical fallacy. I know exactly how much debt China holds. I know Japan holds 1.1 billion (last I checked). I know China is our second highest owner of our debt. I also know what the one-two punch of devaluing the Yuan and a threat on our debt can do to the value of the US dollar under Trump's idiocy. In the context of the trade war, in the constant mixed messages being sent. In the belief that we have morons running our economy. I'd say you don't know what you are talking about. You're too caught up in trivial minutia and old concepts to get what's going on.

The markets like most financial reporters and advisors constantly look for "good" news. They read it into their reporting and expectations. That's why that stupid rumor yesterday caused the market spike. I figured we'd end flat today. I don't know if that'll be true or not. That was my expectation. I knew China wasn't going to give a shht what Bessent said (he sounded stupid, arrogant, IMHO).

I texted my FA this morning before the markets opened and said "looks like we're finding a new tariff-nonsense floor based on futures."

That goes out the window if China decides to call the 800 billion of US debt they carry, devaluing the US dollar and raising interest rates the US would have to pay.

China just let their currency drop - and that's pissing off the US. The US brought this on itself announcing the 104% tariffs on China.

Oh the games we play - with people's livlyhoods, and their very lives. Fun times. Fun times.

LMAO!
Today was priceless!
Must called Navarro out on X today. In Muskovian fashion, Musk called Navarro "dumber than a sack of bricks" and "truly a moron"

Damn. Musk is right about something.

"When I go into a store to buy something, I always demand they buy something from me of equal value. It's only fair!" - MAGAbrainiacs

It isn't even a math problem.
It's a lie.

I posted this way after you. I should have checked! This is really annoying the crap out of me. Chatfield is a decorated Helo pilot and MILES above Hegseth.

"Chatfield is the third top female officer to be fired since Trump took office. Hegseth announced in February that he was firing the chief of naval operations, Adm. Lisa Franchetti. And Trump fired Coast Guard Commandant Adm. Linda Fagan just a day after he was sworn in."

Hegseth. The poster child for "White Male Privilege."

Let me rephrase for clarity:

Hegseth is an example of stunningly stupid white male privilege.

We're a nation with way too many idiots. Way too many. And they're in power for now.
Hegseth is a stunningly stupid example of white male privilege.
Hell, that defines every single male in the Trump admin.

Only freedom hating communist loving Democrats fail to grasp that unbalanced trade polices created by China and others is economically destructive for USA workers and fair trade.

I don't know anyone like that, fortunately. I know lots of Democrats, too. Lots.

I bet you are excited for the coffee and vanilla farms that are going to boom here in the USA now that we've imposed high tariffs on those nations that supply those to us. Once we figure out how to create that climate and conditions - ain't nothing gonna stop us!

I mean, you sound like such an expert on trade policies, you have to understand how they work. Right?

Please tell me you are not in the men don't have inherent physical advantages over women' camp.

The subject is pool/billiards.

"men are believed" by who(m)?
Again - I'm lmao!
