Trump trade deals are happening

Trump haters told us that his policies wouldn't get illegal immigration under control.  The same folks tell us that favorable changes in trade deals won't be favorable for America.


How is paying 25 to 50 percent more for all imported goods "favorable"?

 

No, really, Boiler, don't weasel away for a change. Tell us why higher prices are so wonderful for us.

Nice strawman.

Whirlpool, UPS, Black& Decker, PayPal all reported bad earnings today with lower second half forecast specifically citing tariffs and reduced spending from consumers.

Proctor and Gamble announced price hikes across their entire product line.

And we've seen whats happenning in Vegas. 

 

I dont play partisan games with my investments.     Im fully invested in the US economy and dont have any plans to bring down positions (yet).    The AI boom is for real....but so is the tough economy for people at the lower end of the spectrum.   And clearly discretionary spending is being reeled in while  job growth is slowing.

 

Too early to tell how it plays out yet - but there are some dark clouds on the horizon.    Luckily the artifiical intelligence boom continues to be a really bright sun.   

 

This should be smooth sailing.    All Trump had to do was come into office and play golf for four years and enjoy the next  ".com"  boom in the economy like the 90's.    no chance.

Kevin really needs better new sources.  Kevin, is Biden still in office and snappy.


I see it now.  When the economy is amazing in 3 years, PJ will tell us it's all AI.  Our resident Liberals will discount Trump's deregulation of the technology.  I can read you guys like a bad book.

Why doesn't Trump and MAGA close the deal? Weird.

 

Trump's EU trade deal based on huge energy purchases that are unrealistic, analysts say

 

"“This is non-binding. It’s a pledge,” said Erik Brattberg, an expert on Europe at the Atlantic Council, a think-tank with a focus on international affairs. “The EU itself doesn’t buy energy. It would be member states or companies from member states.”"

 

MAGA really likes executive orders and handshake deals, then complains when someone like brain-dead Biden gets elected and with a push of the auto-pen dismantles your "policies". I guess it's because you've been whining for four years, and now you can whine about it for four more years if the libs win the White House again.

 

Man, you guys are weak, Old Man Joe passed legislation that  MAGA has to go through the legislative branch to undo. Trump's "policies" can easily be dismantled.

Are these the same analysts who claimed that our economy would be in shambles TODAY? You guys need better news sources and analysts. You guy's learned only last week that the laptop was Hunter's and not Russian disinformation.  Adam Shit lied to you and the rest of America on this topic immediately after getting classified information to the contrary during the campaign.  PJ'S comments about Shit lying to all voters about this classified information was...everyone lies.

Boilerman went from saying worst economy in history in January to now best economy in history...and he's abandoned all of his metrics by which he judged Biden's economy that grew jobs faster and took us out of a pademic to record highs in the stock market yielding over 60% in his four years.

 

I'd love nothing more for Trump to match or do better than Biden's economy.  

 

Boiler, I'll make you one big promise.   I wont be an over the top hypocrite and move my goal posts for measuring success the way you did with both Obama and Biden.       I'd be ashamed of myself.   Lucky for you -   you dont have that problem.

I never said the Biden economy was the worst...you fabricated that.  I did say that with the deficit spending, it sucked.  It was a $25,000 loan for a family cruise.  Trump will decrease the deficit dramatically as our economy booms.  When that happens, our Libs will claim that it's because of Biden.
