    Which ones? Really?

    He's done nothing to bring manufacturing back to the US (US manufacturing down the last two quarters repeat quarters not months) - not that there is really anything he or anyone else could do about it short of us becoming completely isolated economy.

    He's made the Persian Gulf more unstable than it was already - great "accomplishment"!

    He's done nothing about Little Kimmie Nuke other than praising the guy and asking for his Nobel!

    He's done everything he can do to piss off our ALLIES!

    And then there's that Putin Bromance.

    Meanwhile over in China they are "playing out the string" waiting for our '20 election betting on a souring economy doing what the Mueller Report couldn't. Sending tRump into Mar-A-Lago-land quickly and permanently.

    A little out of date. Things move fast in 7 days let alone 7 years.

    Ummm have you heard there is this little drilling technique called fracking that has vastly increased U.S. crude oil production. Permabull Rickards knows about it but still spins his rightwingnut scenario to those gullible enough to half believe to get them to pay him for his "investment" advice. The fact that he is a lawyer would be enough for me to hide my wallet.
