    Hopefully Bill can come in and tell us when we can expect to start winning from all of these tariffs. I want to make sure that I mark my calendar

    my money says it works but it takes a while

    we have dug a huge hole with our debt and the fix is not going to be without pain. - I hope it will turn around in 15-18 months

    A Republican president just announced the largest tax increase in American history, what an age we live in

    ^^ LOLOL!

    It's just easier to commit crimes, to launder money, and to grift with crypto.

    Anyone who knows anything knows all of that. Is this sheister, grifter family ever going to do anything that adds real value to anything?

    (And no, rolling the dice on possible real estate bankruptcies obtained with fraudulent loans isn't really adding value.)

    They're just parasites in every venture they touch. It's fascinating to watch, at least.

    you are faithful in the face of all odds and evidence, you still believe. have to admire blind faith, will NEVER understand it or even accept it as a reasonable factor.

    And NASDAQ rose by .87% today during trading hours. Doesn't make any sense to me. We all knew this was coming, so why did it rise today?

    There were rumors that the USTR had convinced him to not be quite as stupid as feared. That chart was more bonkers than even the bonkers theories earlier.

    Also, look out for a new round of layoffs, as companies find ways to limit the tariff impact to their bottom line.

    We're battling the fentanyl crisis with these tariffs. Why are you talking about debt?

    Trump is still falsely claiming that China and other countries will pay his tariff tax…. Does he really not know how it works or does he know his worshippers are too dumb to figure it out?
