This isn't a correction. This is caused by unilateral market interference.

Sorry, are you arguing that the job growth was not extraordinary?

NASDAQ is on pace for its second consecutive decline of over 5%. That has only happened three other times: in 1987, 2001, and 2008.

This is precisely the problem. The economy was not just fine, it was great. Trump just declared a national economic emergency and has released poison into the economic body. He just had to keep his paws off of it.

That's exactly it! Trump's deranged behavior causes this whole cycle. Yes, Trump does orange man bad, normal people react normally - "look! someone should care!" - magaworld just hears "blahblahblah". It's hilarious, I agree. Another instance is Fox - Sean Hannity no less - platforming Russell Brand. Who of course is promptly arrested for rape and other yaknow bad things. But hey "blahblahblah" it's just a syndrome stemming from Trump's derangement.

Trump's Derangement and its Effects, aka Trump Derangement Syndrome. What cracks me up about this is that when Trump or his cadres do something... pick one: stupid, foolish, immoral, corrupt, risk, dangerous, unethical, duplicitous - it is immediately labeled as TDS, which gives maga folks permission to ignore it. That's TDS. It's called a syndrome because it's repetitive and duplicated and sometimes redundant, because Trump's proclivity for... well stupidity, foolishness, immorality, corruption, risky behavior, dangerous actions, unethical behavior, duplicity - is so prolific that it's constantly happening. Thus -> "TDS".

It's pretty obvious you don't work. I don't think people would have much interest about politics if the issue was how do policies affect the non-working wealthy. You should buy a pub or do something fun with your money.

I'm not really confident you're employable, to be frank.

Convo's not about you, amigo. But I do worry about you as apparently you can't pull a quarterly tech index figure while you're armchairing your picks.

Business owners, capital investors, manufacturers & builders are a whole other class. Tariffs go right down to the studs in any project.

Poor people, the middle class, builders, manufacturers & venture investors.

You’re not negotiating a deal if the person you’re negotiating with breaks deals.

NYC hotel manager has something to say - but what’s the point of negotiating a trade deal with the US. Trump has already broken the trade deals with Canada & Mexico that he himself negotiated personally. The US has simultaneously broken scores of treaties & trade agreements unilaterally. No one wants to be negotiating with us. They’ll just deal with China & Europe.

I get it, just answering a question.

As for this, yes tariffs have always existed. They were a primary cause of the American Revolution and directly led to depressions in the 1890s and of course 1929.

He's declared more than one national emergency. Trump also used the IEEPA to employ the Alien Enemy Act, that is where the rounding up individuals would take place. But as were discussing earlier new camps haven't been necessary because Trump has been using state and ICE facilities in Louisiana and Texas.

It was climbing under Biden.

I agree with you, we are. But I certainly don't think maga folks are defined by some ethnic or religious characteristic. It's ideology.

We're all Americans.
