Related to what Luke [ @Luke ] posted upstream earlier today, quoted above, I found this piece on WSJ about and its stats material interesting, for reference, and for judgement about proportions : Wall Street Journal - Economy, Trade [April 10th 2025] : Trump’s Trade Math Ignores a Major Export: American Services.

@Luke, It's Friday, and weekend is approaching fast, and soon time to enter 'Onslow mode', so can't we just agree that Donald Trump added a lot of new acquaintances during that time span, but it was unfortunately at the expense of a similar number of friends!

I suppose, somehow this topic also has become the topic for what's going on in Greenland, right? Today, It's all over the place in the Danish news media, that the base commander at Pitiffuk Pitifull Pituffik Space Base Susan Meyers has been fired, for lack of management capabilities. First I thought perhaps J.D. Vances french fries haden't got enough time in the friture oil, of perhaps Vances wifey wasen't satisfied with the conditions in the ladies room, or something like that, untill I found this piece, ohh well : military.com - Military News [April 10th 2025] : Space Force Commander in Greenland Sent Out Email Breaking with Vance After His Visit I personally think this raises a lot of questions : How can it in the first place be considered a promotion to be appointed base commander of a frozen hell hole? Perhaps for Susan Meyers men with a beard are out of the question because they tickle a lot? Nothing to do in the spare time there, so why not use that time to develop a foreign policy separately for the spot one is in control of? - - - o 0 o - - - Edit : Space Operations Command (SpOC) [April 10th 2025] : For Release

He's just great, right? -I personally do my best to emulate him every weekend ...

Meanwhile, in Detroit, Michigan : The Wall Street Journal  [April 6th 2025] : The First Victim of Trump’s Trade War: Michigan’s Economy. Subtitle : Auto industry, which supports one in 10 jobs in the state, shifts into battle mode to stem tariffs’ worst effects, even as many locals hope the cost will be worth it in the end. - - - o 0 o - - - Detroit Regional Chamber [April 9th 2025] : MichAuto Statement on Tariff Pause. - - - o 0 o - - - Christ, it reads depressing.

We Europeans don't do Joe 6-pack. In stead our personal favorite and hero is named Onslow, married to Daisy, and he is just awesome :

Aasa Swee from the Swedish paper called Affärsvärlden [means 'Business World'] commenting on POTUS' stunts. She can be incredible funny, but also serious - she says she is pro humor, licorice and oil! - - - o 0 o - - - What is it we here on CofB&F call people who engage in such activities?

For the entertainment value of it :

China was insulted by POTUS. That makes quite a difference to some perhaps robust trade talks. But POTUS doesen't even care if he has screwed up dearly in that regard, so the sh*t show just continues. Did you expect anything different from that from a person of this format?

Unfortunately, at least for all of us here on CofB&F, except the poster, it has become clear to me, that a post in this topic disappeared, evaporated, suddenly, and in a disruptive way, not so long ago. I think the overall message of the post was : YouTube - NEA ZIXNH - [March 18th 2014] : Bachman Turner Overdrive - You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet - 1974 Video Sound HQ

Make it 2 1/2 months, by now.

@Eldad, @Malmqky and Greg [ @Gregmal ], What makes you confident posting so? -Approximately 10 hours from now, for me Copenhagen Stock exchange opens again, and from there, we likely go again.↔↨

This. The harm is likely already severely inflicted on all kinds of supply chains, because all of this makes everyone linger. If you're a slave of your paycheck and working with procurement, why even consider to put your own butt on line [<- Christ, I think this tiny typo is the top of all my typos here on CofB&F - lol!!] on the line in this situation? Your boss may deem your doings both right and reckless in the situation at later moment, thereby flushing you down the drain.

So, basically, the eye lids on POTUS moved downwards, over the eyes of POTUS, to lubricate them, and up again. Anything really changed here? Any reigns moved here?

Yeah, but this was basically the same share, but at two different markets, where one market was closed, the other market was not closed by the time of the screen shot. Just checking another one here - for my own personal purpose :

I think I've never seen something anywhere similar to this - Copenhagen closed about 4 hours and 48 minutes ago :

Who are you really?, How much taxes do have to deal with already by moving your capital around?

@Sweet, My second boss in my real [full time] work life, after university, once said to me : *Stay focused, you aren't employed here to solve all the problems on the planet.* Blake [ @Blake Hampton ] will eventually get the return he deserves. It's not that complicated. Yet still relentless.

Naturally you're right about that Greg [ @Gregmal ], What matters here, short term, is not if your POTUS is wrong or right about anything he's doing [I'm dead sure he's right about some things, and dead wrong on others]. What matters is the way he's implementing his ideas and thoughts. On the former CofB&F software platform, where we could have socalled 'signatures' in the end, lower part, of our posts, I remember Sanjeev [ @Parsad ] had one - consistently : 'No man is a failure, who has friends.' So, the real question here to think about is : 'Why so?' - - - o 0 o - - - I'm scared sh*tless by now by thinking about what @Spekulatius and Charlie [ @dealraker ] has been posting about this, now for a long time, here on CofB&F.

Roger [ @rogermunibond ], That's actually awesome humor!

Yes, we all likely will have issues other than inflation to deal with, when the dust after all these chaotic events eventually has settled, - more of the same to come?

lol :

I just got this by visiting this topic - I've never seen this version of it before - symptom of the times ? :

Charlie [ @dealraker ] and Luke [ @Luke ], Ever heard about Heard? DR - dr.dk - Abroad [April 3rd 2025] : Two uninhabited islands hit by Trump's tariff hammer. But not Russia. - - - o 0 o - - - I suppose, soon, we'll in main stream media see pinguins with banners and all such stuff demonstrating against tariffs in front of the White House. It will however last a bit before it happens, because there is long way to swim before they arrive, swimming up the Potomac River. And people passing by the White House will hold their nose because of the pinguins fish stinking bad breath.
