You’re not wrong. Hamas has played into Netanyahu hands and to him never again means Israel can no longer accept having neighbours literally within its borders committed to their destruction. This was an obvious endgame. Maybe Hamas apologists miscalculated.

And the 2nd most un-American thing to do is to not step aside and let new leadership emerge to move the party forward and out if the mess you and the old guard have got us into.

Nothing to worry about, Bill Maher assures us that Trump is not the insane psychopath we feared. He just plays one.

Riddle me this. Biden handed us a failed economy. But the jobs data looking in the rear view mirror came in strong. It’s miraculous in less than 90 days they saved the economy only to destroy it. If only Jake had the balls to stop dancing around the obvious.

The longer they wait the less bargaining power they have. As the economic damage grows they will find themselves in no position to negotiate. They didn’t realize that the threat of tariffs is more effective than tariffs as they impose self harm. You’re basically beating yourself up. Brilliant

Small businesses employ 50 million people. They are the essence of the American dream. It cannot be overstated what a bunch of clowns are in power. Mark go on CNBC with Kernen & give that Trump sycophant a what for.

As a fairly astute investor I try to be apolitical. And I can see some logic for saying to other countries we need you to kick in for all we’ve done. But in the end this a tax on working people to pay for tax cuts that will disproportionately help the rich. That’s all it is.

Does he know that the light bulbs he wanted to stick up his ass came from China as well.

Interestingly today’s bond sale was an A+ which was very unusual given the backdrop. My bet Japan was the buyer. An hour later Trump removed the tariffs.

In business what separates the winners from losers, isn’t some unique idea, it’s in the execution of those ideas. Musk didn’t invent Tesla but he executed it well. Trump is incapable of the patience & intelligence to execute such a complex undertaking. Congress needs to step up.

It takes a special mindset to speak to self reliance as a virtue while using fear to engender reliance. They literally will refer to Trump as Daddy’s home. The implication being he’ll make everything OK. What happened to being self reliant.

Chris we get it. But you need to put some teeth on it. Make it clear that Dems will make it part of their platform to recoup every ill gotten dollar. The emoluments clause will deliver consequences.

The Dems shunned Sanders only to elect Trump whose policies are the most ill conceived and executed populist policies in US history. Chuck I’m thinking your vote to pass the CR isn’t aging well. Please step aside.

The CEO of Apollo a Trump supporter shrugs off the disruption & opines that well run companies should be prepared for disruption. It’s nice to be a billionaire who never ran a small business. They really don’t give a shit. They know they will profit on the back of hard working Americans.

Yesterday I tuned into Gutfeld they spent the show litigating why Jake Tapper didn’t call out Biden for being senile. Not much on Trump.

I think someone needs to put together on a daily basis one montage of all the stupid things Trump said today. The material will be endless.

Only Trump can make the Chinese political system look better than Democracy. Trade imbalances may be the least of our problems.

It’s a game of chicken and the American people are stuck in the henhouse. Perhaps there is an argument to move away from dependence on China. It’s hard to see why China will blink. Tariffs needed to be focused & used 1st on vital sectors. This is malpractice.

In a nutshell whatever Trumps intentions may be, his incompetence is unlikely to be overcome. It’s like thinking you can perform heart surgery because you saw it on tv.

It appears that standing up for Americans and forcing the GOP to come to the table wasn’t such a bad idea.

The I believe in the tooth fairy argument. They aren’t deplorable they were dropped on their head and only in a country that hires the worst to lead can this happen.

Unless Johnson will put it to vote nothing will happen. Jeffries must go on the attack and call out Johnson.

Mike Johnson is the enemy of America. And Dems should call him out for it.

Trump has handed China a gift. He’s made America the villain. They don’t have to worry about elections & Trump is doing in days what they’ve been trying for yrs to prove Democracy doesn’t work. Well played Don. The art of the deal my ass.

Usually when a President dies in office it’s likely markets react negatively. I’m thinking this time would be different.

Ackman has just outed Lutnick as his firm is benefiting from the sell off. I said this 3 days ago Dems need to make it clear they will do the unprecedented when they regain power and tax every dollar of ill gotten gain and fines of equal value. It’s time to break some eggs.

No he’s fuckin them over, while he and his family are shorting the market. With Trump it’s a zero sum game, he wins and everyone else loses.

I thought it was being exaggerated that so many on the left prefer worse over not so perfect. But I’ve had so many encounters that I realize it’s an epidemic & likely a social media manipulation to suppress the vote. It’s sad that so many are such easy targets to be manipulated.

I sense he’s in a box. It’s lose small or lose it all. The damage being done if not stopped will shake confidence which can take years to recover. This time the Fed can’t print money to add to the deficit. I would give it 50/50 he pulls back tomorrow before he’s crossed the rubicon. Let’s hope
