Good one, fix your car on the oily driveway or fly your new Cessna Citation! I've done plenty of the former, and none of the later!

It's called negotiation, and that is simply your opinion. You fail to address the silly one-sided opinion piece you posted. The professor clearly hates Trump, and his rhetoric of "The US political system is falling apart" and "Trump couldn't pass his second course in economics" is just ridiculous hyperbole. If that's what you want to post as your "proof" - go right ahead @Viking

Sorry, this guy is an idiot globalist, with no regard for the Citizens of the US. 1- Not a word about the 30 years of job destruction in US manufacturing. He could care less. 2- Nothing about other countries tariffs or barriers at all. Not a peep. 3- Nothing about China, and any trade protection needed against China - the worst offender of all. 4- Good thing the President has "emergency powers", as he immediately solved the #1 problem the United States had - which was a dangerous, wide open Southern Border. All in 60 days. Couldn't be more disingenuous , while leaving all the relevant facts out.

Nothing is on the table yet. If you listen to the last 3 minutes, he talks about Russia. Seems to me, if there is no movement on the Russians stalling - the US is likely to try and stop Russian oil shipments to China, start arming Ukraine, and somehow attempt further banking asset freezes. Or some combination of the three. Promises to get dicey. Too bad.

I don't know anything about Carney, but he sounds like Obama. Obama fooled everyone. Ran as a "moderate", but underneath he was a total leftist and globalist. He set the country back years in terms of race relations, as well as social issues. All I can say is good luck with Carney!

And your point is well taken. The American media is extemely powerful, always has been. And has done great damage to the country for a number of years. Until this period the last decade or so - I really never realized how important free speech was... I remember Tucker Carlson yapping back in 2016 about the "collusion" between big tech social media and the government and the legacy media - and I thought, this seems really extreme - as I always trusted "the news" as "objective". How wrong I was.

Pretty simple actually. The media is still resisting anything Trump. But that is being somewhat offset by Trump adminstration allowing bloggers, podcasters and "new media" access to Presidential press briefings. You can easily see in the polls that the dems are on the wrong side of these 80/20 or 70/30 issues. Trump has them all, but the dems only position is "we hate Trump", irrespective of the issue.

No problem. We all know Canada is perfect, so no big deal. The wrecking ball is swinging back to the center, right where it belongs. Other than this little tariff tiff, you need to be able to tell me what exactly is extreme right. Closing borders, enforcing existing laws, protecting citizens from crimes, banning men from women's private spaces, enforcing parent's rights, protecting minorities at places like Harvard. All of that is what the country looked like 15 years ago before the radicals took over the opposition party. It's a breath of fresh air.

Putin will need to fall in line, or it's going to be Europe's problem. Look for oil embargos and asset freezing against Russia for Trump's next move. Europe better hope so.

Yeah, ya know - transparency was not Biden's thing. I think he went over a year without a single press conference. It's very refreshing to see the amazing transparency of the Trump government almost every day. Citizens love it. As for the great leader of North Korea - there are similarities to Biden. Kim Jong Un likes to kill his opponents, Biden only uses the power of the state to jail them. Close enough. At least the US furiously rejected outlawing opposition parties.

Wish you were on Mexico's border. Being the neighbor of a narco-state and human smuggling and sex-trafficking country is no picnic. Mexico has brought much death, destruction and misery to the USA. Would love to change places with you. We now have the right President, as the southern border is sealed tight as a drum.

That's a very helpful explanation - particularly the reasoning behind the trade. Thanks!

I like him too. He's a very bright young man. He could learn a ton here.

Shit, that's what I mean. Knowing how to make money in a sideways market, a skill I don't possess. There's a lot to be learned here.

The gentleman you're referring to is one of the most respected and most helpful on this board. Always has been. I'm not a bond buyer in general, but I never discount his outlook.

Why would you ignore the fact that Harvard lost their discrimination lawsuit in the Supreme Court? They haven't changed since the loss. If anything, it's gotten far worse.

I'm truly amazed that you guys would defend Harvard and all the Ivy League behavior. The hatred from the Hamas backed organizations is so blatant. It's right in your face, and you won't even admit it. Somehow I doubt you'd support these despicable activities against blacks or Indians. Just tells me a lot.

He's going to hobble them because they are supporting anti-semitic violence and will not protect Jewish students. He's absolutely doing the right thing.

Hey, everyone is 100% focused on POTUS. What did you expect. It's not a joke anymore.

Hey, look at the bright side. The thieves at USAID are out of business now. https://fortune.com/2025/04/15/state-department-doge-elon-musk-marco-rubio-usaid-jeremy-lewin/

And imagine being aligned with a party so fucking lame, that you couldn't even put up a candidate to beat the guy. And now your party is in total meltdown mode with no plan. Who's it gonna be @Blake Hampton AOC? Crockett? Jeffries?

And of course, that is idiotic. Those of us that voted for Trump are deeply patriotic. I've very happy with my vote. The country was absolutely going off the rails. Unfortunately for you @Blake Hampton you couldn't find a warm body with a brain to beat Trump. Amazing what a disaster the opposition party is - isn't it?

Not really, but he did replace a loser - a corrupt and senile one at that. And you couldn't even find a candidate. How lame. Trump is the change agent, as @james22 said. So far, so good. Just the man to force changes to a corrupt government.

Oh yeah. The regime in China had NO problem killing 60 million of it's own citizens during the purges. You can have stability when you crush everyone in your path, including your own citizens.

Put your trust in President Xi! Don't forget to thank him for unleashing a virus that killed millions worldwide.
