In the USA, we have almost half the voting population who can't define what a woman is, the same half that thought cackling, vapid Kamala Harris was a great choice for taking on the job as leader of the free world.

Of course those imbeciles will be screaming that the sky is falling.

As a retired person, I'm not happy at all at seeing my IRA down over 200k - I'm not jumping off a bridge anytime soon. We've got to be patient and see how this all plays out.

Thank you for this article, by the way!

Yep, we went down down down and then in an hour yesterday, up $87k. The market will correct itself. We support Trump's plan to correct the unfair trade imbalance and encourage the return of manufacturing to America.

Try reading the article, Jay, (Slowly).

Basically what I'm saying is I see the strategy & tactics and, although painful for now it should be beneficial when the smoke clears. I'm also suggesting (as any money manager would) to be patient

And if you can't do that - go scream at the sky (like a bitch)

Gosh! If that's your real name, you're really not embarrassed to be so revoltingly foul-mouthed are you?! I often wonder with people BTL like you - are you on drugs?

A wonderfully lucid take (as per usual). Thank you.

I have little sympathy for the ignorant, the immature, the venal, the avaricious, the cocooned. Americans are spoiled. And I'm sick of it.

I hope that Trump is able to pull this off. It's bodacious and brilliant. And, if it does work, it's going to change things significantly. I've been waiting a long time for the working class to see some love from federal policy (I was an old school, little guy dem before I became an independent). I choose to remain hopeful…

Great take on this topic.

People seem to forget countries have tariffs on imports from the USA as well.

We can’t keep doing the same things over and over again. Time to reset and fix our economy.

Our stock market is massively overvalued. A hangover from COVID money printing.

What exactly makes this a “right wing talking point”?

That printing of money was necessary so people wouldn’t lose their homes and could stay afloat.

America isn’t weak and it isn’t the world’s whipping boy. Look at the federal budget for the MIC. And that’s just America’s spending. ‘Murica is the arms bazaar to its “friends”. We number one manufacturer of weapons. So we buy plastic junk from Asia. So what?
