I agree, Vought, should also be sent with the CF #47 trilogy. Could we charge all of his clown car of cabinet leaders with reckless endangerment and have them jailed, too?

Deja vu all over again? https://alternativefundinsight.com/how-next-us-treasury-secretary-once-broke-the-bank-of-england/

1. Zero sum game. If someone lost $3 trillion, somebody else won it. IMHO Trump has surrounded himself with people who know how to short the market.

2. A few right wing Republicans are opposing him. Grassley has a bill that would remove his power to adjust tarriffs. A right-wing group with financial ties to Leonard Leo and the Koch network, the New Civil Liberties Alliance sued, claiming that Trump’s decision to invoke the International Emergency Economic Powers Act did not give him the power to “usurp” Congress’s right to control tariffs or “upset the Constitution’s separation of powers.” https://newrepublic.com/post/193612/donald-trump-lawsuit-tariffs-far-right-group

3. He now is at odds with Musk, who is recommending a tariff free zone, the US and EU.

4. We can take advantage. Read Feathers of Hope. https://jerryweiss.substack.com/

Only takes 3 Republican House members to kick it off.

Kay G's avatar

I think the lawsuit and threat of Congress taking “back” it’s rightful Constitutional control - including that over tariffs - which made Trump hit “pause”.

Keep the pressure up on the Republicans if we want to preserve our Constitution. The Republicans need to do their damn jobs - serve the Constitution - and the American people - not a King

USA is like the American airplanes of 9.11.2001 hijacked by alqaida terrorists i.e. tRumputin reign of terror.

This is from CNN

In a massive turnaround, the S&P 500 posted its best day since October 2008. The Nasdaq posted its best day since January 2001 and its second-best day in its history. The Dow posted its best day in five years.

Now Trump can tell us he has a booming economy and the kool aid drinkers will believe it.

Is he smart enough to manipulate the market, or did he just tuck tail and ran after his sycophants all hit the panic button? If the bond market causes a major interest rate hike in addition to the price hike on consumer goods because of tariffs itr would be a financial meltdown for many people and businesses. Hence the panic button!

Exactly Gary, he's manipulating also the minds of the gullibles who still harbor some hopes toward him lest he loses them too. the terrorist-serving pos tRumputin is in panic mode and doesn't know where is backside nor where is frontside, he's like a headless fly, read, a crazy-eyed rabid terrorist caught in the act and now not knowing which direction to head for.

Do NOT allow him get any praises, God Forbid, for reversing the tariffs, good Americans!! Only when he saw that even his nuttiest cultists started screaming at him did he cave lest he gets some points for this - fuck him now harder than ever 'cause the bully hit the wall, but he's gonna get only worse.

Indivisible is reporting the terrorist-serving pos is mulling invoking the insurrection act - oh, irony, the insurrectionist terrorist would to impose that act. Ehhhh, my President Biden, who did you transfer the power to??????................

When the media slanders/defames you (which is illegal), you are entitled to damages. Trump is also suing CBS for $20B and a settlement is imminent and he will be compensated handsomely.

Obama was paid 65M for a book deal and an estimated 300M on their Netflix deal. Earned income.

Presidential library donations are standard operating procedure for former presidents.

Also, the Independent is a biased left wing media company from the United Kingdom owned by Russian and Saudi businessmen, which is helpful to understand.
