Well he tried to have the last one killed, so yeah.

Uhm no. Not my style. I converse with people who I disagree with. Hopefully I learn something.

Oh please, it’s the bank that gave him money when no one else would. Saved him from the sheriff sale at least a couple times.

Iirc DB is Trump’s bank.

>>Even after the president’s partial U-turn – freezing tariffs at 10% on all US imports except those from China for 90 days – markets swung from relief rally to fresh rout, as investors questioned the once unthinkable: could the US dollar be losing its unassailable safe haven status? “The damage has been done,” said George Saravelos, the head of foreign exchange research at Deutsche Bank. “The market is reassessing the structural attractiveness of the dollar as the world’s global reserve currency and is undergoing a process of rapid de-dollarisation.”<< Mistakes were made.

We can’t have public officials or their children doing business in China.

Europe, Asia. The markets we’ve spent treasure & blood to build for ourselves for decades.

Bloomberg reports Trump has reached out to China for a Trump-Xi phone call. Inevitably.

I’ll just add rising bond yields mean greater debt load, perhaps another half trillion $$$ added to this year’s debt expense.

China. Doesn’t. Pay. The. Tariff. It’s an ad valorum tax paid by consumers who shop at places that tend to sell Chinese goods & produce. Yaknow, maga voters.

Totally different issue.

There isn’t a politician who has expressed more love & admiration for Xi & Kim in the US or anywhere in the world than Donald Trump.

They have zero domestic pressure. Mao murdered & starved tens of millions of people. Trump’s won twice & lost once on the whims of 10% of the population in roughly 300 counties. Midterms rest on maybe 5 House seats & 3 Senate seats.

>>A White House official told NBC News that Trump wants to improve the H-2A program, through which employers in the agricultural industry can hire temporary and seasonal workers, and the H-2B program, for hiring immigrant workers for temporary, seasonal jobs in other industry sectors, such as hospitality and entertainment, and in the tourism industry. Trump has used the H-2B program.<< >>Trump has been under some pressure from industries whose workforces include undocumented workers. << >> American farmers also have been raising alarms about the effect Trump's tariff policies and funding cuts to federally subsidized school lunch, food banks and other such programs will have on their livelihoods. In March, business owners and leaders rallied in Washington and met with members of Congress as part of the American Business Immigration Coalition's "Secure the Workforce" campaign, aimed at continuing the flow of immigrant workers to the United States. The group is pushing for legislation that includes, among other things, work permits for immigrant workers.<< +++++++++++++ So pretty much the current system. And of course Trump screws up, makes the economy do summersaults, then the powers that be lobby to educate him about things everyone already knew.

Yes, but since you bring up terrorism, it does belong in the convo and that's a good comp at least. But yes worse than that.

Yes.

Trump v. Thompson.

That's a good ol' canard, that is. It was the most grotesque act of political violence and insurrection since the Civil War.

No, what is it? Is that Singapore's convention center?

Sure, I'll keep you posted.

The Derangement thing again - I have questions - the people who line the street outside his country club, the boat parades, the merch stores, the online merch stores, the Trump Bibles..... the children's books... that's not deranged?

Because the statement was "he saved our economy once" and I pointed out the economy crashed. Then in the same post I acknowledged that the crash wasn't his fault, but regardless the economy was never saved by Trump, far from it. Now if someone wants to talk about the massive dump into the market then please do, but it was also a major contributor to the inflation that got everyone so understandably agitated. As for Trump, we're talking about a guy who called the supply chain "supply change".

Oh, I didn't realize that was him. Thanks.

I specifically said further up that the Covid crash wasn't his fault. I think maybe the closest thing I can find to a direct policy driven crash like we're seeing today was 1929 and maybe 2008. In fact if any maga folks want to do it they should give Trump credit for finally acknowledging what was happening and dumping $7 trillion into the market in March 2020. It's like the vaccine thing, they don't like his greatest 2 accomplioshments.

Hey, it's no problem. I did find this. 1907: Roosevelt (R) -50% 1929: Hoover (R) -83% 1945: Truman (D) -22% 1974: Ford (R) -42% 1987: Reagan (R) -22% 2001: Bush (R) -45% 2008: Bush (R) -50% 2020: Trump (R) -30% - I'm not sure where you're marking Trump's 2nd era from, when he came into office, from election day, April 1st?
