Nice uptick today (Back over 40,000!) now that Liberation Day has become Capitulation Day.

Just another 4,000 to claw back to get back to Inauguration Day.

All the coverage saying similar things may well require another round of proposed tariffs to soothe him.

We still have the blanket 10% tariff on every thing and every land.

If it was Biden, Trumpers would point to this as a sign of dementia, and the tweet just prior to the policy release as evidence of corruption. But it's Trump, so no doubt the faithful will be here soon with The Explanation (tm) as to why this is a good thing.

With the panicked sell-off of stocks on Wall Street, surely investors turned to US Treasury Notes for safety?

Sorry Surely:

U.S. Treasury Bonds Sell Off as 30-Year Yield Rises Most Since 1982

Higher yields mean bond prices are declining, which isn’t typically what happenswhen stocks are selling off—investors generally buy U.S. Treasuries, considered the safest debt, in times of uncertainty. But despite the turmoil in the financial markets triggered by tariffs, Treasuries have been dumped, particularly those with long durations.

Speculation that a chunk of the selling is being conducted by foreign governments is rampant.

The latest Treasury data is for January, and it showed that investors abroad have sold longer-term Treasuries for three consecutive months, with the latest move led by Canada.

Another explanation for the Treasury sales could be that U.S. assets are simply no longer preferred by foreigners given the country’s less than amicable relationship with its partners.

Lol. Go ahead. Just try showing us how Trump compares to Biden during his first and only term.



Please. The cat is out of the bag. Even Biden staffers are now coming out in the open about how bad his cognitive heath was. Trump, as old as he is, runs circles around Biden at his best. Did you forget the debate in which Trump made Biden look like a hospice patient that caused his decline in which he was rapidly replaced by Kamala? Just wake me up when the DNC finds someone, anyone who could stand toe to toe with Trump. Because the last I check AOC is the best thing going for the DNC, and that is pretty sorry in my opinion.

Chunky but not massive chunks. i dont like the creamy additives at all, like dairy stuff.
Putting dairy in guac is why I’m okay with Guantanamo remaining open.

Trump is crashing the markets with tariffs, then reversing them so the markets bounce back
Can you provide evidence to justify the baseless accusation regarding Trump's motives?

That's some whacked out plan he has there. ^_^

After about a net worth of $100 million, politics is just for show. Gotta keep the Plebians thinking that they care for us.
