And YOU can't figure out the difference between 'negotiation' and REACTION.
You CALL it negotiation BECAUSE your Lord Trump CALLED IT negotiation, which simply hides the fact he doesn't know what the hell he is doing and it is also obvious you didn't read the last part of my post about how they found out nearly 100 years ago just how bad tariffs are in reality. Tariff wars ...[text shortened]... rstand that and because your brain is jammed into Trumps head YOU will never understand that either.

Trump doesn't understand economy and trade. Is that just your opinion, or is that backed up, seing as how his success have pumpoed along. Link that one before we get over your opinions. 20%. biz deal losses like casino and college do not dent his overall success.... which would be 80% if you do the math. Is this where I ask you about Kamala's feel for economy and trade and tariffs and jobs, etc. And, oh, did you pick up some Tesla shares last week on the dip? That would really piss Trump off, you know. Up already $10 on biz channel.
As to reaction, if I were haggling with the pig farmer, I cannot for the llfe of me see how I would be surprised,. to 'react' with his counteroffers.....I would know they were coming, you silly goose!

Like I said, your brain is Trumps brain so no matter what we say we are ALWAYS wrong and you are ALWAYS right.
You are totally incapable of realizing Trump IS corrupt, THE most corrupt POTUS in US history and you will NEVER understand just how corrupt Trump was, is and ALWAYS will be.

Here is someone who KNOWS what Trump does and the blood feud with Musk.

NOBODY before stood up to Trump like Musk just did.

Which is not saying Musk is a nice guy, he is just as much a sociopath as Trump.

Corrupt is boring. So was you know who who had a $400k salary.

Wrong and Right? Yeah, a lot of that when one is predicting the future. As to the past, were you wrong to say jan 6 was a coup, or did upu call it an insurrection.....you called it so much. Wrong! Not changing the subject, just identifying the two words. So where am I wrong? Opinions irrelevant, BTW, but you know that !!!!!!
As to Hidden variables leading to sudden market moves, how do you think they will affect our portfolios. What would Kamala think!?!? 😆 😆 😆

I believe we all knew that relationship between Musk and Trump wouldn't last they are both sociopaths.

Now Musk is trying to distance himself from Trump. Let's watch the mid-term elections and see how they fair out. I don't think Trump's idle threats to Musk is going to bother him on bit, about supporting any Dems in the mid-terms.

Trump has taken corruption to a level never seen before in the entire 250 year of US history. AND YOU KNOW THAT FULL WELL but give him a bye because he is your LORD, YOUR RELIGION. You WORSHIP your Lord Trump so naturally you will NEVER find ANY fault with your Lord Trump.

It is not about me by the way. So, what do you want to happen? Are you good with JD Vance being president or will you give him hell?

@AverageJoe1 said
It is not about. Usually we discuss our sign the forum…..in policing facts, that is. Tip O’Neill and Ronald Reagan discussed things all the time, but I cannot imagine them sitting there saying the word you in every sentence. They were discussed the fact. That is one of your downfalls. Here you say, Trump is corrupt, but if he were, he would not be president would he. He ...[text shortened]... But the fact is not what we opine, it is what we can convince another party that is wrong or right.

If Trump was corrupt he would not be POTUS? Have you totally missed the last 5 years? SCOTUS GRANTED, VOTED, whatever you want to call it, near total immunity so he cannot be sued, cannot be impeached BECAUSE he has immunity for nearly ANY crime he commits as POTUS.
You must have missed those kind of questions in your bar exam.
I doubt VERY seriously you didn't know Trump has immunity.

BTW SO DID BIDEN for the last few months of his presidency.
He could have executed Trump saying he was a traitor and nobody could have done anything about it.
TRUMP can execute anyone and get away with it or do you not know what immunity means?

False equivalence.
Selling a car for X asking price and you actually sell for X-1 has ZERO consequences on the national scene.

Or the world scene or the Dow Jones or the chaos caused by this TACO.
His flip flops are NOT negotiations, they are capitulations and that makes him look WEAK here AND overseas.

The chaos caused by these flips, UP OR DOWN causes deep confusio ...[text shortened]... arrangements, diverted trade away from the United States and hindered the global economic recovery"

Good stuff.

Not the tariffs, but the history lesson.

@AverageJoe1 said
I asked $25k for my car, negotiated and settled on price of $22,500. Applying your logic, was this a losing proposition for me, considering that any ‘seller’ knows going in that one never pays asking price?

But did you feel 'cool like Trump' while doing it?

@Very-Rusty said
He doesn't seem to pay much attention to the facts. I do re-call you saying you were 5'3.

I knew a Karate Instructor that was only 5'. Never heard about anyone beating him and many tried until word got around about him. He and I became good buddies.

This on says that the process between countries in discussing trade imbalance is not negotiation.

Thankyou. That may have been the simplest and most easily undestood of all analogies.

Like I said, you don't understand what is going on. Trump is reactionary.
He goes I put 120% tariff on country X.
Stock market goes down the next day.
He goes, NO, I was kidding, I really meant 30%. Next day stock market goes back up. NO talking to country X. That is NOT negotiating that is being a TACO.

Did he say that he was kidding?
Or are you using that word for another word he might have said?

Words like Big Deal or ask someone who cares.
