Yes they are so full of shit

New poll in Aus. 7 of 10 think they can't trust US to do the right thing, the lowest in 20 years.

If Scott Bessent really believes what he foolishly said, that Beijing is just “playing with a pair of twos,” then please let me know when it’s poker night at the White House, because I want to buy in. thomas friedmans NYT op ed today. made me laugh. yup, bessent drank the kool aid. no credibility

Trump made up the tarriff plan 3 hours before he announced. he is a total moron. He does not realize that trade deficits are inescapable bc we have the global reserve currency. Our chief exports are dollars, which the rest of the world uses for central bank reserves, investing in our stock market

The real economic story of the past three decades is that the United States has surged ahead of all its major competitors. In 2008, the U.S. economy was about the same size as the euro zone’s; now, it is nearly twice the size. 1/

While Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told CBS, “You’re going to see employment leaping starting today,” in fact, both automaker Stellantis and appliance manufacturer Whirlpool announced layoffs because of the tariffs. building and establishing a new plant in the U.S. will take 3-5 years...1/
