Trump's incredibly dealmaking on May has eliminated 50% of the US equities losses created by Trump's dealmaking in February and April. And MAGA laps it up.

Speaking of the markets liking certainty, can we discuss the $1 trillion trade deficit with Chyna?

Yes, because the markets like certainty, and this provides a 90 day window to get a more complete "deal" done. But understand, US consumers will be paying 10% more for goods produced in China. I thought we didn't like inflation and that trump was going to bring prices down, and yet here you are celebrating a 10% increase in prices.


My dear, methinks you haven’t had your coffee yet…it’s 30%, not 10% on all Chinese imports. China has placed a 10% tariff on all US imports.

The master of disruption and showmanship. Stupidly, the stock market laps it all up.

Trump doesn’t believe in his own tariffs- the ones with China, which were set to bring in a lot of money, have been suspended. Once he pauses or suspends he doesn’t usually start again. Is the golden age tariff economy a big bluff?

How is any of this "business friendly"?


But, their silence is complicity, isn’t it?


It's not silence, you just aren't listening. Business is complaining more and more. Why do you think Trump is negotiating with himself to lower the China tariffs?


Show me a F500 business CEO who has criticized the taxes, not just said that they’ll raise prices. There’s a difference. So far I’ve seen Penzey’s and small women business owners criticizing his policies. I’d love to be proven wrong, so I’ll check back.

Given he is a malignant narcissist, be prepared for a depression.

This is unconfirmed. We should be careful of posting unless it’s from a reliable new source. Lots of misinformation out there.

Replies on that skeet confirmed it with photo


Per AP news, they recessed after two hours for a pre-planned lunch event. I suspect that was when the photo was taken based on the timing. I read it yesterday in the Apple News app but can’t find it now.
