I’m still trying to figure out why anyone was still in last month’s market investments when everyone knew what he was gonna do because he announced it.   “I will be announcing my tariffs on April 2, there may be pain…”

< Gee…. I should probably just sit here in the aggressive growth mutual fund, and hope it all works out.>
 

Not sorry any MAGgat is down a ton, but I remain bewildered why non-Trumpers did not tweak their portfolio or 401(k) before the market took a dump.  

It was the most obvious market correction ever.  I thought COVID was pretty well known ahead of time when China shut down their entire economy, nailed shut people's doors to keep them locked down and the market kept going up.  You knew shit was going to hit the fan and the day it reached Italy all hell broke loose.  This is even more obvious because the dotard told everyone exactly when he was going to fuck shit up.

Yeah. I'm not even close to rich but 3200 in a retirement fund is not life altering

He is down $3200 after a 6% drop in a single day.  Which means he had about $53K in retirement investments.   Apparently he thought eating the cats, eating the dogs was going to be his retirement menu.

No. Don’t do this. This is a media narrative used to strike a balanced tone because outside of the business press they don’t care about or understand the global trade economy. His first term tariffs were a disaster. We lost global market share in ag exports we will never get back. The winner of the 2017 trade war was China, and will be this time as well. 
The only tariffs that benefit us, even WRT China, are the limited set of commodities and goods where we need to maintain strategic capability, like steel and heavy manufacturing. And even in those cases there are usually better ways to protect capability and American IP. 
Here’s the basic fact of the matter- we control the world’s reserve currency. As long as we do, really don’t have a trade deficit with anyone, not even China. Think about this: our adversary sends us tangible goods with intrinsic value that we control demand for, and we export to them our fiat currency, which we control the supply of. And they are cheating US, you say? And you want to do something to stop THAT?

So in what sense does this accomplish anything other than weaken the market for our most important export, the dollar?

 "Why does the world get to use the US Dollar as the reserve currency?! It's time for the world's currencies to stand on their own and quit holding back the mighty US dollar!!" -Sen Tommy Tuberville...probably.

Just to say it: I'm in Yellowstone about 100 days a year. The old and natural residents of Gardiner  - the ones who are working in and around the park - are overwhelmingly blue. The rich as fuck assholes who have moved here in droves, buying up land up and down Paradise Valley just north of Gardiner - that's where the MAGATS are. 

Back in 2018, I was driving down 89 heading into Gardiner and there was a barn off the road with a huge painted on sign that said "Trump: Brains and Balls". lol'd at that, so yeah, definite magat country.

BREAKING:

Canada set to CANCEL order for U.S F-35 fighter jets 

“We are being compelled to look at options.” 

- Bill Blair, Canadian Defence Minister
 


A Canadian professor says that Canada can't afford to do that because it would take 10 years.  If the Chinese were smart, they'd offer Canada a great plane at like 20% of what the F-35 costs. The Canadians, in turn, would study the proposal. The howls from Republican senators and congressmen would be worth it.

Answer: Even if the US fucks up and leaves NATO, no Western NATO Ally is going to integrate Chinese tech into their military.  Canada will buy Saabs or Eurofighters.

Parliament: "So...grain prices."

Update: “In 4 years prices will be down (deflation) and we won’t have a trade imbalance with China.”

I mean sure.  If our economy and currency collapse yeah I guess.

He very nearly did this during his first term you moronic idiot! It was a goddamn miracle we made it through. We won't be so lucky this time.

And they should.  We are absolutely making European defense manufacturing great again.

Any and all of our former allies would be fools if they aren't IMMEDIATELY pursuing a plan to "de-Americanify" their defense purchasing/arming.  We are an unreliable and untrustworthy seller, who may well be at war with any one of them at any moment, on the whim of a fucking psychopath.  A European power buying an F-35 from the US at this point would be as dumb as buying SU-34s from Russia.

You are probably correct, but China should make the offer, and Canada should still "consider" it. Just to fuck with Congressional R's and DOtArD.

r/LeopardsAteMyFace - MAGAt surprised by tariff surcharge

Would it be ok to bash Brandon?  Let's Go Brandon, maybe you should listen to economists about how tariffs work instead of politicians.  If you thought the producers were paying the tariffs instead of the consumers you believed the lies.

She doesn't care about her friend or other people really. They care about their ideology.

I interviewed a guy yesterday who has been laid off...  Florida Man, whose daughter has expensive extracurricular activities in school.

I mention the stock market going the wing direction. He says, "Well, hopefully we get some better trade deals that help America."

Someone will hire him, but it won't be me. I'm sure they have leopard gators or something.

 

They just can't fucking help themselves. They CANNOT go 10 minutes without popping off some maga remark even if it costs them a job. Like the ones who make some maga comment on every single facebook post known to man.

One of the main points of MAGA is to constantly remind everybody how MAGA you are. They can never be MAGA enough. Yet we’re constantly trying to convince them of something, anything else.  Or you know, both sides.

OMG, she has a friend who uses coupons.  She really has her pulse on poverty in America. 

Also, I don't think she really understood The Emperor's New Clothes.

I got into it with someone a few weeks ago when she tried the “ it’s just negotiations “ and she was very condescending. I was pretty stern in replying maybe the first time but this will be the third time and other countries will be tired of it.

Even though Megan McCain has never displayed a single level of erudition on any topic ever, I find value in her thoughts for having the foresight to be John McCain's daughter. Literally billions of people before her lacked the ability for such instinctive selection.
She could've been the daughter of Gene Shalit but she said "No." Even under the scrutiny of hindsight, I think we can all agree that she made a very lucrative decision for herself. You have to respect that. She earned her platform. 

I failed to be squirted out as James Welch, Raquel Welch’s first husband. Regret that one.
