Trump Neurosis Thread

[putnam6]

Adapting using a wealth-defense, survival mentality says it all.

OK, but you are speaking in generalities and it is pure unadulterated speculation.

Again the most watched and investigated President is gonna risk it all by manipulating the stock market for his and associates' personal financial gain.

Nah, they are much more sophisticated than to be that obvious.

Probably clued in some rich Saudis and now he gets a 50% off coupon when he stays in their resorts in Dubai at worst.

You were saying something about pure unadulterated speculation?

Strategy Strategy 
It works wonders without the deflections and tangents doesn't it 
 

"Based on the lack of respect that China has shown to the World’s Markets, I am hereby raising the Tariff charged to China by the United States of America to 125%, effective immediately. At some point, hopefully in the near future, China will realize that the days of ripping off the U.S.A, and other Countries, is no longer sustainable or acceptable,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post."

China has filed a complaint with the WTO about Trump's lack of respect for World Trade rules.

Wonder how that will pan out?

Lovely.

Buy your Walmart stuff now, poor people. You'll have to cover an unknown length of time for Trump and Xi's economic dick measuring contest.

Here's a question.

Why does trade have to be equal? How can countries with vastly differing populations have equal trade? I mean sometimes it works out, but I imagine it's rare.

Just something I have been pondering.

Actual equality is almost never achievable from all perspectives...

but an 'agreed upon balance' does work.

Sometimes we pay more, if we want something badly enough.

That mostly plays out both ways...

That's fair, I'm a Canuck and initially we were hearing it's about "trade imbalance" and I thought an actual balance has to be rare in reality.

Make Coal Great Again

It's the most American of energy sources!

Reinvigorating America’s Beautiful Clean Coal Industry and Amending Executive Order 14241

My favorite part:

Our Nation’s beautiful clean coal resources will be critical to meeting the rise in electricity demand due to the resurgence of domestic manufacturing and the construction of artificial intelligence data processing centers. We must encourage and support our Nation’s coal industry to increase our energy supply, lower electricity costs, stabilize our grid, create high-paying jobs, support burgeoning industries, and assist our allies.

Yes, because coal mining, steel mills, and manufacturing are what kids want to grow up to do now! Especially something as safe and light on effort as coal extraction!

How do you get a kid to want to be a stuffy shaft in West Virginia for less than a California Starbucks barista makes?

We really need that coal for the increased power demands of forthcoming blue collar manufacturing and Skynet!

The utopia of working class timeclocks, white picket fences, cheerleaders, football stars, and malt shoppes will be forcibly reinserted by the spirit of Norman Rockwell... or else!

Best devote some executive orders to planning coastal infrastructure upgrades. He's not in Miami-Dade county but low end estimates are still for about 7 to 8 inches by 2050, with the really high end estimates of 60% of the county below sea level by 2060.

That seems far fetched, but still a good mindset to consider looking into windmills and pumps to keep dry ground below sea level, like Rotterdam.
