A long but worthwhile read - the oligarchs of the apocalypse www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Even other authoritarian leaders are facepalming.

Now I have to abandon plans for the iPhone factory I was going to build in my backyard. Who’s going to compensate me?

The business outcome of Trump’s chaotic policy is that you stop doing business. You cannot make plans or reposition when policy shifts daily.

Who wants to negotiate?

I’ve never read Art of the Deal, but is there a chapter about picking a fight you can’t win and ceding ground in the first 48 hours? www.cnbc.com/2025/04/12/t...

Could Trump have made any clearer the power China wields over the US?

But my mom doesn’t use X. And this seems like a conflict of interest…

Buckle up

Trump casino is really racking up debt. I want out.

Diplomacy.

To say this is disturbing is an understatement. This is perhaps the most overt authoritarian act yet.

Evil

Like the scene in Jerry Maguire where Bob Sugar calls all of Jerry’s players and signs them.

“What concerns me is that Tesla is not known for taking a slow and methodical approach, they move fast and break things and people are at risk because of that. There have been preventable deaths, so it’s an immediate concern for us.”

So yeah Trump's corrupt inner circle absolutely insider-traded the shit out of the trade war surrender

It’s impossible to trade this corrupt manipulated market

"They tell me it'll only reduce the tariff rate from about 32% on average to 25%," Wolfers explained. "So, about a quarter of the problem here has gone away www.rawstory.com/trump-trade-...

And just like that everyone was cool with 125% tariffs on China, 25% on Canada and Mexico and 10% on RoW. Because the markets are a referendum on sentiment. The stupidest of times.

Heads he wins, tails libtards lose. 🤦

$TSLA $125 billion market cap increase. 😂😂
