When the UK foolishly left the EU, it was called Brexit. What do we call it when the US leaves the rest of the world? I'll start, Trexit. Anyone else have a name for our insanity?

When you don't have a Siberia, you use El Salvador.

The US needs rare earth to create chips and many other tech goods. China has rare earth but we're basically in a mutual trade embargo. Ukraine has it but needs to mine it and Putin doesn't want Trump to support peace between Russia and Ukraine. Which dictator does Trump cave to, Xi or Vlad?

One greedy, dishonest man can literally control whether the stock market goes up or down with a few sentences. What could go wrong?

It's comical 10 yr rising. Probably because people anticipate inflation from tariffs and China dumping treasuries. Exactly opposite of what Bessent and Trump want.

The administration's talking points are tariffs will help the working class. Price increases and a plunging market will actually hurt them the most! Job losses, higher everyday goods costs, and small businesses failing means those people are screwed. Big corporations will be ok.

If Trump can extend Tiktok via executive order, which by law was supposed to go dark in January, do laws matter anymore? Can he override any law with his executive order? If so, he is king and we don't need Congress. Tariffs are a tax too. Guess Congress really is moot.

Peter Navarro is astoundingly stupid. Only a moron like Trump would believe his bs. Watching them converse would be like watching a door knob talk to a tree stump. They are both as sharp as marbles.

We've been liberated from our money through the stock market and coming inflation. Let's hope this goes away in the next few months.
