I was too curious.

JD as President and Donald as VP? Then JD steps down?
Start building a new White House in case the squatter doesn’t leave and stops paying rent.

Back to my golf picks for the weekend. 🤔

Trump just paused the latest huge round of tariffs against everyone except China.

On China he has now raised the tariff to 125%.

So far as I can discern, the tariffs in place prior to this week remain.

Its rather hard to keep track.


This looks more and more like an insider trading play, forcing the markets down, creating a buying opportunity and selling on the pop. I say looks like, because I can't prove that.....but its difficult to see
any alternative motive.

If that was the case, he would proclaim that there is a 1000% tariff on all imports into the united states without exception. The next week after the stock market drops 80% he would remove all tariffs.

There is no logical basis to that statement.

Were he to do such a thing, Markets would super-crash; protesters would shut the country down, and he'd be impeached. That would not serve his purposes.

Richard please restrain your tendency for extreme statements. Its just too much.

Understood.

That said.. has anything Donald Trump done been logical?

His actions are about as clear as Linear A and Cretoan Hieroglyphics.

Whether this is truly intended as an insider trading play, I'm sure some people are making money on it. I would not be surprised if they were insiders.

In normal times this would not happen

Certainly not on this scale and with this degree of brazenness.

They are trying to rationalize doing things they would've been doing regardless. If they didn't use anti-Semitism as justification it would've been something else.

And the agency that would've normally been investigating this (the SEC), had their enforcement authority curtailed by Trump by way of executive order. Almost like it's by design.

I agree that it has the hallmarks of stock manipulation, but I tend to think it is still ideologically, but has the overtones of Trump having the attention span of a toddler and his tendency to listen to the most recent voice he hears.
 
Trump and his cronies just pulled a massive "dump & pump" on the global economy. Truly incredible stuff happening in the world these days.

I just saw a spin that it was a long game to expose China as a terrible place/country/govenment/something or other
