Farmers get a double whammy: high fertilizer and high fuel prices. As a farm owner, I doubt I’ll get much profit this year. |

Trump: "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country in the first term. We are blowing 'em away right now."
uh...tone deaf? delusional? gaslighting? all of the above? |
| Where is 401k guy? |
Trump meant to say “blowing it up”. But Trump can’t lie or bully or bribe his way out of this. He f’d up bigly. |
So quiet

| The GOP can try to blame this on Biden, but even the most idiotic voters know it wouldn't be true. |

Time for a recap…
Wall Street has hit a six-month low as the Middle East war weighs on investor sentiment at the New York stock exchange. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq have both dropped to their lowest levels since September, sparking speculation that Donald Trump had ‘lost his grip’ on markets. Oil has risen again, with Brent crude up 3.4% at $111.68 a barrel, as traders shrug off Trump’s 10-day extension for Iran to open the strait of Hormuz. The Middle East conflict has also hit US consumer confidence this month. |
Brent at $114+ now. Trump can't move that market with social media posts any more. |
Reality bites. This is the problem with grifting and lying constantly. While the GOP still trusts Trump no one else in the world does. Consequently no one trusts the United States anymore. We will suffer the repercussions of this for decades. |
Interest rates also hit a seven-month high today. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/the-market-is-starting-to-think-the-federal-reserves-next-move-is-raising-interest-rates-154704986.html |
| S&P closed at 6369. Before Trump's war, it had hit 7000. Pam Bondi's DOW closed at 45,167. Can we talk about the Epstein files now that it is no longer at 50,000 Attorney General? |
