    As many have said, it is staggering how one person can put the world economy in jeopardy.

    It seems to me we are reaching a pivotal point with the upcoming US EU talks.

    Here's what we know:
    Trump and his ministers don't seem to like Europe. The only sanity coming from the administration seems to be coming from Musk who is calling for a zero tariff plan. I believe Trump or someone else said this is not enough.
    He has in effect pulled out of Nato.
    He doesn't even care if Russia were to invade Europe.
    He believes Europe has been "ripping off" America.
    He wants a deal that will be very favorable to US.
    Europe has not retaliated and has maintained its composure so far. They want to talk and have a fair deal. However, they refused to be treated unfairly.
    Trump's actions have been arrogant, irrational, bizarre, and aggressive.

    To me, it doesn't look good.

    For the sake of billions of low income earners, I truly hope they have constructive discussions.
    If the US EU talks fail, that's when this really becomes a crisis.

    I agree. We should remove all the illegal immigrsnts and we should ban all sweatshops in Asia. The sweat shops should be in the US and filled with children.

    that or we invade Canada and make them all our slaves.

    basic needs for all is not a concern in this discussion. We as a society agree we don’t care about that. I’m fine with it.

    This is not what we voted for?

    What a ridiculous excuse.
    President Trump current behavior/personality/characters/values/beliefs
    is exactly the same as during his term 1 presidency.

    So you can simply extrapolate what President Trump is going to do in his term 2.

  6. He is the dude that got ass raped on his HerbaLife short, by Carl Icahn.

    Back in 2015, he actually believed his own hype:

    No thanks!
    "Ackman's publicly traded fund, which was launched on Dec. 31, 2012, has an annualized net performance of 13.5 percent, compared with 14.8 percent for the S&P 500"

    It's all about THE FEES...

  7. Scott Bessent is a genius. Most people on here don't have a snowballs chance in hell of ever competing with these people on an intellectual level.
