Tariffs but then exempt everything. China just laughing at Trump.

I feel like I time traveled back to 2017 ‐ 2018 Phase 1 China deal endless tweets it was close. It never was until the Chinese finally announced a deal. They never bought as much goods as they agreed they would.

PMI data this morning should be interesting.

Childbirth is one of the coolest things on the planet. Mom and baby are doing well. Back in the boy column.

Gold continues to ramp higher. Telling me trust in US by global players is deeply impaired. GDX quietly up 50% ytd.

Florida real estate looks like it's being reset back to 2018 values. Price cuts everywhere I look.

Bad Trump precedent being started. Violating the constitution is a slippery slope. Imagine the next Dem president declares MAGA as a terrorist organization and deports everyone who ever purchased/photographed a red hat or attended a rally. No due process because it's inconvenient.

Pretty noticeable jump in prices at the grocery store today.

👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾 😳

Avacodos up 50% from last week. Trumpinflation at work.

Beautiful FAFO. Just wait for ICE to zip in and deport his entire labor force.

“Department of Government Efficiency.”

If Donald Trump loses Scott Bessent, or if he tries to fire Jerome Powell, the reaction of financial markets will be immediately & (even more than already) dramatically negative. I say this as no big fan of Bessent, but he is by far the only person approaching grown-up status in the Trump Cabinet.

Dryer we bought last week went up a $100 bucks per the price watch we had on it. Timely purchase. Tariff price increases are going to be wild.

Made up problems require economy-destroying solutions.

The jobs are back!

Just wait for the 300k+ unemployment print coming soon.

The dumbest mfers this morning.

Build that cash fortress. Might need some gold, guns and bullets as well. Trump is going to break everything.

Someone can do the funniest thing, create tax.gpt. Upload last year tax return, upload current year docs, and have it spit out a tax return. Links to print paper copies of forms. Flood the IRS with tens of millions of paper returns for processing that would have efiled.

in chinese culture, it is considered rude to offend the people you want to negotiate with by calling them dumb peasants. few know this

Stock markets down badly today on the shocking revelation from Jerome Powell that tariffs might be bad for the US economy

Build that cash bunker. Strong chance there is 20 to 30% of pain coming.

Retail Sales = Pretty Okay (Everyone beating the tariffs?) U.S RETAIL SALES (MOM) (MAR) ACTUAL: 1.4% VS 0.2% PREVIOUS; EST 1.4% US CORE RETAIL SALES MOM ACTUAL 0.5% (FORECAST 0.4%, PREVIOUS 0.3%)
