Trump's cabinet are contradicting each other every day. It has gone bigger than expected and the retaliation has been bigger. There is currently a 50:50 chance of a US recession this year. Pension pots are 'bigly shrunk'. US workers and consumers will be hit hard - and the promise of a return to 1950s manufacturing (a fantasy) by bringing jobs 'back onshore' is for the medium to long term even if it was true.
It is what the world looks like when cock up and conspiracy are in lock step.
There is likely to be a major adjustment to trade deals and military alliances - none of which will help exploited workers in Global South countries - which isolates the USA and works around it. It will reshape globalism, but Trump will not end it. He doesn't want to - he profits from it like Musk and the rest of his oligarch mates and golf buddies. But it does look like four years of 'America First' (aka Trump First).
It hasn't started yet, the NYSE opens at 2-30 pm. Get your :popcorn: ready!Quote:

However, no one really knows, when Trump will take action to start negotiating so that the markets and all his cash are reinvested to fly back up.
What a pleb.Quote:

Since 'Liberation Day' (don't all laugh at once!) Musk has lost $31bn, Zuckerberg has lost $27bn and Bezos has lost $23.5bn.
Sounds a bit desperate thatQuote:

Either way it is a strange thing to cheer about, and an even stranger definition of 'beer money' to justify it.Quote:

PEOPLE around the WORLD are 'WAKING UP' to the FACT (NOT FICTION) that the CORPORATE [[D] party politically controlled] [6 CORPORATIONS OWN 90%] MEDIA [FAKE NEWS] IS NOT unbiased journalism but POLITICALLY MOTIVATED AND CONTROLLED.
[STATEMENTS NOT FACTS]
THINK FOR YOURSELF AND STOP BEING A SHEEP TO THEIR NARRATIVE.
THEY WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
NOBODY WALKS AWAY FROM THIS.

Irrespective of which side of the aisle you sit on, dont you want to see these C*nt* who go into politics with F.all suddenly become multi multi millionaires on decent wedge but not exceptional, whilst the people just suffer cut backs and cut back, I've had a F*** full of the lot of them I dont care what colour badge they wear I want t see them shamed, prosecuted and locked up whoever it may be.
This is what the cult is waiting for!!
First indictment [unseal] will trigger mass pop awakening.
First arrest will verify action and confirm future direction.
They will fight but you are ready.
