Trump at it again...Jaw boning crude oil.

  1. I have never seen a sitting president jaw bone the markets like this one. He sounds more like a dictator than a free market supporter.

  2. At least he's transparent. The elitists will give you a feel good front, but rape you from the back.

  3. Tell that to all the people he left holding the bag over the years.

    Trump is not a free market supporter. he has never been. a more proper appellation is a mercantiist or crony capitalist. neither of which bodes well for the future of free market capitalism.

    What makes you think he doesn't talk to people before his "announcements"? Classic insider trading. But yes, transparent.

    What he did is a good thing and I don't see why it should be criticized.

  7. Is that because you'd like lower gasoline prices for your car or because it's a righteous thing for Trump to be telling other countries what to do?

    The former.
     
  9. I've dealt with big businesses before (hundreds of millions to billions.) Fact of life: they will stiff you. Doesn't matter how feel-good-SJW they are in the front, They. Will. Stiff. You.

    Anyone who deals with anyone that is not a personal acquaintance: assume they will stiff you.

    Trust no one and you'll be pleasantly surprised when the game is rigged so that they cannot stiff you.

    Oh please. Are you trolling?

    The dude used his charitable foundation as a piggy bank.

    Dude couldn’t find Yemen on a map of Yemen and you’re telling me there isn’t a Swiss account with $100NM in it courtesy of MBS?
