President Trump

JASR said:
The odd thing (among the many) about Trump’s initial round of tariffs was the exclusion of a tariff on Cuba.

I haven’t read of any reason why they joined the select group of Russia, Belarus and North Korea in having no tariffs.
Unless Cuba is all-in supporting Russia in Ukraine… which rings a bell on the various UN resolutions passed condemning the invasion.

There is no trade with Cuba and Americans are not supposed to travel there…but it didn’t stop “Penguin Island” from a 10% tariff, so…?!

The White House says it will not respond to reporters who list identifying pronouns in their email signatures

Action follows administration barring federal employees from listing them in government emails.

Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, wrote a reporter saying “As a matter of policy, we do not respond to reporters with pronouns in their bios.” DOGE senior advisor Katie Miller, in reply to another reporter’s question, wrote “As a matter of policy, I don’t respond to people who use pronouns in their signatures as it shows they ignore scientific realities and therefore ignore facts,” adding in a separate email, “this applies to all reporters who have pronouns in their signature.”

“Any reporter who chooses to put their preferred pronouns in their bio clearly does not care about biological reality or truth and therefore cannot be trusted to write an honest story,” Leavitt told the [New York] Times in an email.

A strange approach given America's penchant for unisex names. Sorry Taylor, Lindsey, Cameron, et al, I'll just have to guess whether you're a man or a woman.

I regularly declare my total disinterest of American, society, ‘culture’ and values.
Nothing about their political, judicial or capitalist system (which we have here too) would persuade me to go there.

However. I would agree with you regarding our American posters in here. I think Idaho, is the ultimate in laid back. Foggy……. Well let’s just say he wears his heart on his sleeve. He shows what he cares about and nobody can deny he has morals and a conscience. Several others too. I won’t go through them all, as in general, I don’t know where people are from.
The posters in here seem overall like a good bunch.

So take what I say about America with a pinch of salt. Good luck to you all.
And you’re welcome to the place.

Even if there wasn't anything dodgy going on (which there absolutely was), this really isn't the time to be laughing and joking about such matters after the shitstorm he's just caused, particularly with cameras around. But then self-awareness has never been his strong point.

It's astonishing that he's managed to reach this position of office not once, but twice. It's pretty clear from this clip alone who he's there to serve.

Yes. The bond market does appear to be the Achilles' heel. Quite who was shooting remains unclear, however.

The bond market is truth, because there are multiples of the global stock market relying on that truth to keep the world afloat on a daily basis!

One simple example: The $5T U.S. housing market is based on the 10 yr Treasury, while there are almost $34T of U.S. Treasuries outstanding, with about 25% of that held overseas…and that ignores global corporate bonds entirely!

So sue him!

Oh wait, the Supremes said he’s above the law while wearing his crown!

When the person who has driven the stock market to lows by his words suddenly sends out a PERSONAL SIGNED MESSAGE that TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO BUY, then hours later announces the reason for the stock market’s drop has been removed, then what does one do???

If a corporate CEO had done this, the SEC would be inspecting not only his stock trading account, but also his descending colon by now!!!
