    It's insulting that we have to watch this buffoon and his buffoonery and even entertain the idea that he might have any shred of a plan, or understanding of what he's doing.

    Even dignifying this with discussion gives it magnitudes more credibility than the none that it deserves.

    Interesting observation by economist Justin Wolfers. Trump always looking out for the common man.

    Yea. Nothing says "I like to spend more for less" than owning a Range Rover.

    Lexus is worth more literally the moment it drives off the lot.

    Leftist hoping for failure or you just can't see the forest for the trees?

    You missed that the US and China start negotiations on Saturday.

    Winning is having the concept that the Trump Administration will accept for the other nations, China included, to follow.

    LOL, like the deal with UK won't be signed. (shaking head)

    What's hilarious is you guys buy his every line and treat it as more truth than the gospel when in fact you know he's lying to you. It's like an abusive relationship

    After 4 years of failure, one would think leftists would be tired of losing and being wrong.

    Remember when you were convinced that the Dow would be at 20K during Biden's administration and it actually went to 40K over that same period?

    Too bad they don't sell dictionaries door to door anymore because you need to brush up on the definitions of losing and winning if you think we were losing the past four years and winning now.

    Did you mix up what you meant to say? The world's richest man has a substantial role in running our government and is attending cabinet meetings. Also, literally you hours ago touting the stock market:

    And within less a year of Trump's second term you and other followers of MAGA may finally realize that you've been conned by the most economically ignorant president in American history, a former reality television star who has no concept of why the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act was a disaster.

    You are excited because the President is “allowing” Americans to buy 4 car British car brands without tariff, tariffs that he himself imposed.

    But you think (literally anyone else) is the leftist. LOL.

    Yeah, Main Street needed lower tariffs on their Rolls Royces and Bentleys.

    For Christmas this year, the regular, everyday American is going to get their kids 2 dolls, 5 pencils, and 1 Aston Martin.
