Until Donald Trump. Until him, no U.S. president has been so ignorant of the lessons of history. Until him, no U.S. president has been so incompetent in putting his own ideas into practice.
That’s a conclusion that stock markets seem to have drawn as they plunged following the Trump triple whammy: first, tariff threats against our largest trading partners, spelling much higher costs; second, twice-repeated monthlong reprieves on some of those tariffs, meaning a zero-predictability business environment; finally, his tacit admission, to Maria Bartiromo of Fox News, that the United States could go into recession this year, and that it’s a price he’s willing to pay to do what he calls a “big thing.”...
In short, a willful, erratic and heedless president is prepared to risk both the U.S. and global economy to make his ideological point. This won’t end well, especially in a no-guardrails administration staffed by a how-high team of enablers and toadies.
Trump’s critics are always quick to see the sinister sides of his actions and declarations. An even greater danger may lie in the shambolic nature of his policymaking. Democracy may die in darkness. It may die in despotism. Under Trump, it’s just as liable to die in dumbness.

Their job creation figure typically reflects net jobs added only. The problem with that is that this figure does not account for jobs that were lost during the same period
I don't care about frequency. 4 of the last 8 winners were from small countries. THat is the point.
Do you REALLY want to claim that tariffs cause inflation?? YOU'RE making the claim that tariffs cause inflation. NOT ME!! THAT causes prices to increase and the VALUE OF MONEY to DECREASE. Tariffs DO NOT cause the value of money to decrease and without that 2nd part, you have NO INFLATION!! And since TARIFFS can actually cause a DECREASE IN DEMAND for goods with a tariff, the exact opposite of inflation CAN happen. BUT TARIFFS ALONE do NOT cause inflation. PERIOD!!

20% approval of the Dhums.
That's all anyone needs to know about the STUPID they emit from their pieholes. AMERICA is tuning them out and with the Schumer Shutdown coming, they will sink to depths unheard of in modern times.
I would wager they'll be in the teens by next week.
