OT: Pre Open Trading Down 1145

[Waterboy]

Seems like the markets will do quite well tomorrow with dropping tariffs on certain electronics. Won’t be able to buy Apple fast enough and while they build in the US the iPhones I theory won’t be increasing too much in price. He’s going a great job

[Zanary]

His random scatter-shot "NOT A NEGOTIATION"..."NEGOTIATED PAUSE"..."THIS IS TEMPORARY" bulls**t is bush league, nightmarish stupidity for businesses working to get contracts for supply lines, logistics, and more under control. This is re-stated constantly through the daily spittle-fest from the traitor-in-chief.

The lack of consistency, the ridiculousness of the scale, and his own caving with no pattern or warning (except, maybe, to his inner circle...gotta get in on those insider trades!) along with his babbling insanity trying to circumvent due process, international relations, and more...

...this is easily the worst, least coherent, and most pathetic administration that I've ever seen. Pure junk, by garbage, enabled by drones.

Futures are up. I’m guessing this will be a decent week on the stock market, but the strategy and brilliance Trump displays in negotiation by driving uncertainty scares investors who don’t understand how to participate in the market.

[Zanary]

Much of the criticism comes from actual market experts that recognize knee-jerk reactions from a career con man who bankrupted all his casinos and whose billionaire buddies leaned on him as their portfolios were getting brutalized. He's lowered his stance to that of an amoeba: stimulus/response, with a few side orders of gaslighting.

[Waterboy]

Market is mostly level today. For now, anyways.

Early momentum flagged pretty hard, the inconsistency is gonna keep hurting...and any other major Oprah-esque "YOU GET TARIFFS, THEY GET TARIFFS, EVERYBODY GETS TARIFFS!!" spittle will drop it like a rock, again/still.

A lot of great talk today from Trump in the Oval Office Meeting with El Salvador. Trump is clearly articulating his vision on the tariffs like no other president would be able to. Makes you proud to be an American.

Trump is a stain on the Oval Office, and on American history. The sheer number of lies he has on record that are strangely of zero interest to his fan club are a series of huge, treasonous red flags.

His statements on his tariff disaster have been regularly contradictory, and he's been called out (by non-felonious, un-fraud, actual experts) as being inconsistent, horribly executed, and potentially disastrous. He's burning garbage, and already something like $100 million in our tax dollars into his golf holidays.

The FACT that the mistakenly-sent man in the El Salvadorian prison "cannot be returned" should be a huge red flag, all on its own. Actual men, actual functional humans, make mistakes right. The denial of any effort in this case says enormous amounts about this trash administration.

You get that nice opinion columnist from the Washington Post to give you another "expert" opinion?  Too funny.

Have to laugh about the golf thing.  Biden was on vacation 40% of the time.  He flew home every weekend.  With the books coming out from his own staff, the guy generally worked about 4 hours a day when he was in the office between a late start, nap and early lid on events for the day.  I didn't see you making that an issue.  Not a peep.  Seems a little...partisan selective to me.

HAR!

The same story was on other news sources, but I wanted to see how you'd respond after your post from the KKK news club. You're still going on about it, so it's the gift that keeps on giving!

Did you read it? Have any actual counterpoints...or, will you stick with the "deflect at all costs!" defense, the orange-boi special?

Yep, the usual.

I called out Biden a great deal when Biden was the one making the news. You've shown that you've worked hard at ignoring repeated posts of mine outside your narrative, so...yeah, you have zero actual counterpoints. Again. Still.

The red cap dye must do serious, permanent damage....
