Do you REALLY think a large % of his minions would still "believe" he's a financial whiz if the US went belly up?
His minions will believe this is all somehow Biden's fault, because that's the excuse the propaganda (aka Fox News) will direct them t…
Uh, yeah, I kinda thought that went without saying.

They should hold 1 large rally at the capitol in Wash DC. That would be something.
I bet you'd have more folks attend that than were at BOTH of his inaugural speeches.
Make it hit closer to home. Maybe hold a second rally near Mar-a-lago? …
In order to pull off a trade war scenario with tariffs across the board, you would need a surgeon's precision in terms of implementation (timing) and allocating %'s.
Instead, we witness a butcher's plan - to force a sweeping movement all at once.…

Feel bad for those who stayed "all-in" this week. Many didn't believe he would be able to follow through on collapsing our economy by kicking off global trade wars.
Now we know better.
Lack of basic comprehension by the POTUS will be a drag as he forces this tariff tragedy down our gullets.
Unfortunately, I had many standing purchase orders fill this morning - clearly an oversight on my part. Better buy opps lie ahead. This …
If you are fortunate to have lots of dry powder, when to buy is now the million $ question.
With possible recession and a bear market on the horizon - does buying equities make sense at this time?
Orange is either delusional, or trying to collapse the country while wearing his smiley face.
Maybe a little of both.
This "patient operation" he speaks of....is it triple-bypass surgery?
In the bunker at Mar-Lago...... Eric and Donnie Jr. race tiny circus cars around a track while Melania claps. Trump is off in the corner,still hugging that tariff plaque he unveiled yesterday. They have become close.
