@Soothfast saidYou leave out pesky details, like the fact that China sends 330 Container ships a day to the USA. Mostly all loaded with junk, What will they do with that stuff? They need us more than we do them SFast.
Even China by itself is going to prove more than Trump can handle. It won't back down, because it knows his hold on power is more tenuous by far than the Chinese Communist Party's. In addition, the CCP is in a stronger position to override blind market forces and manage China's economy as needed to weather Trump's tantrums. Finally, the US trade deficit demonstrates that ...[text shortened]... to find alternatives to trading with the US. The longer this goes on, the weaker Trump's hand gets.
@kmax87 saidPsychological insecurity and poor self-esteem are hallmarks of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. The actual narcissism is a defense against the feeling bad about oneself. I know it rarely seems that way, but that is how strong the defenses are to one's feeling bad about oneself.
Trump is a numpty. He is that insecure that the US President is the most powerful man in the world, he decided to test the theory by playing tariff wars. So he hits tariffs on everyone and the global markets tank. He does a 180 and pauses tariffs and the market rebounds, and Trump goes its all about me, I'm the greatest, but in reality, this is the power of the presidency and ...[text shortened]... yanne Conway all rolled into one sounds impressive except for the fact that its all a pile of merde.

@AThousandYoung saidIt ain't over yet.
The DOW is still below what it was when Biden left office. Losing 4000 points and then getting 3000 back is not a win.
@Cliff-Mashburn saidYou right wingers have more faith in Trump than KellyJay has in God.

@AThousandYoung saidThey speak with great conviction, as if saying it aloud often enough might make it true—not just to others, but to themselves. It's kind of sweet really. That's why I try to never say anything mean.

@Cliff-Mashburn saidHe left us with the DOW higher than it had ever been.
Keep telling us how Biden was "The best Biden ever and sharp as a tack".
But go ahead and focus on how he made you feel because that's what matters. Not money.

@AThousandYoung saidSo you are saying Biden wasn't senile his last few years in office, if not before he even took office?
