Trump was and is quite the visionary. Revenues are way up for the USA. Go Kamala!

Tariffs haven’t tanked the economy. In fact, GDP in the second quarter reached its strongest quarterly growth in nearly two years: a seasonally and inflation-adjusted annual rate of 3.8%. The third quarter is tracking close behind at around 3.5%.

Heading into 2026, economists expect continued AI investment and tax cuts to buoy economic growth.

When you zoom out its up up and away to be sure, but, can you survive the dips. Hope you are not leveraged to the hilt and risk losing it if you get hit with a few margin calls.

I thought we were supposed to get a rebate from those tariffs up to $2000

Last I heard he was saying people would no longer need to pay any income tax because the tariffs were proving to be so successful.

Yeah, that one was a whopper. As if gov would give up taxing people. What a laugh. More lies. Different figure head.

Don’t know the details, but don’t get like marauder and expect everything to happen overnight. You heard it from Joe first, it will all be fine. Patience, young fella.

Don’t know what you mean, but I bought on the dip yesterday, Nvidia Tesla and cadence, and I’m having a nice ride this morning. Proof to buy on the dip.

You need a lesson in confident, embellished political speech. A screaming little female liberal would say he’s lyyiiinnnnng. No, it is just good politics. Seems to be working.

Debt is way too high for that to ever happen anytime soon.

Bigger picture is that only 20% of Trump’s tariffs passed through to consumers, and he has rolled back some of his own tariffs, easing the impact, albeit slowly as predicted. He has reasons for what he does. Further, prices are expected to continue rising during the first months of 2026, but not by much. The Fed share expects tariff inflation to peak in the first quarter, with a little further impact on the inflation rate. The government shoots for about 2% and we are almost one percent higher than that at the moment but these things do take time. I am in no position to nitpick all that goes on behind closed doors as this is working its way to the top. Patience. He did not do the tariff gambit just for the hell of it. Being smart (that hated man!!!) is what made him successful.
Think about it, disregarding his personality. George Bush is about the last successful president, but admittedly was born into an oil family. Look at Obama and Biden and Clinton and Kamala🤣🤣🤣None of those guys had the smarts to get rich. Along came Trump and things seem to be popping. Like, $19T in foreign investment yet to materialize, and the long range expectations of a global level playing field.
Schumer is proven to want him to fail. Do you?
