    Almost back to where it was when Biden was President…. And all Trump had to do was TACO on everything he promised….

    That was not the argument. The argument was a couple of months to a few weeks ago when everyone on the left claimed Trump was destroying our vibrant economy. Doesn’t appear that is the case, does it? Oh and without the inflation also, that everyone on the left predicted a couple of months to a few weeks ago.

    There is a rather simple explanation. It's that the markets are assuming that Trump's extreme tariff proposals will never be implemented and so far they have been correct. Given that tariffs are an article of faith with the Donald this also may be a good time to take profits and/or short the market.

    I would also add that another reason is that despite his rhetoric belittling Jay Powell Trump hasn't really tried to remove him as Chairman of the Fed, and he probably couldn't do so even if he actually tried.

    Ya know ..... I'm starting to feel sorry for the LGBTQIA+ community .... what with

    * the stock market performance,
    * Tariffs,
    * LA Riots (including the federalization of the Ca National Guard and Marines to LA),
    * Israel-Iran war,
    * Panthers winning the Stanley Cup then damaging it,
    * deaths of Sly Stone and Brian Wilson,
    * US dropping MOP on Iran, and
    * Zohran Mamdani winning the NYC mayor democrat primary

    no one has really paid any attention to what's happening for pride month. Maybe it's just not really necessary any longer.

    Just as under Biden, borrow enough money will make the economy look great - for now. Trump’s BBB will add even more borrowing - raising our debt at a faster pace.

    Talk about keeping your head buried in the sand.

    are you being intentionally obtuse? Trump did basically a 180 on all the things he said he was going to do hence it became less of a concern

    lol oooook - whatever makes you feel better dude. This whole winning losing thing in politics is so so dumb. It’s so myopic and immature. I’m happy he changed his mind and cooled his jets on tariffs. Obviously. Because I want the U.S. to do well - I live here. So believe me - I want things to go well lol. Give me all the winning. I’d rather he flip flop his way back to a more moderate position.

    Exactly and that’s where I hope reporters and the media don’t bring up the Taco thing to his face. I would rather he Taco-es than double down on stupid policies just out of spite.

    Surprised there haven't been more adults in the room to share that sentiment. Why poke the bear if you're rooting for the best outcome for the country? Let him back off the tariff talk. This nanny boo boo mocking with this Taco crap is embarrassingly childish. I'll shout "both sides" all day every day until one side proves they aren't guilty of the same tit for tat garbage of party politics.

    Yeah, I think the TACO thing started as a wall street explanation for why they didn't crash the market for all of his dumb tariffs announcements after he backed off the ones that seem almost impossible to stop (the dumb, liberation day tariffs in which they declared that we needed tariffs because no two countries should have trade deficits).
