Did I say something about volatility a few posts ago?

S&P 500 INDEX is up over 7% on the day, back to where it was on 4/3. The phrase irrational exuberance comes to mind, but maybe that's apt with an irrational POTUS.

Oops.

BTW, hardly anyone has noticed that DonOld has taken to importing eggs to combat the shortage.
Any savings would have been negated by his tariffs.
Egg prices increase to record high despite Trump's predictions and bird flu outbreak slowing

[O Really]

Price of our eggs is down a couple of dollars, but may never get back to "normal."

Same.

Best price I've seen was a special sale for $4.

$4.59 at the Co-op, not many on the shelves.
$5.30 at Publix.

He could slap on new tariffs tomorrow for some perceived slight.

Mexico OWES Texas 1.3 million acre-feet of water under the 1944 Water Treaty, but Mexico is unfortunately violating their Treaty obligation. This is very unfair, and it is hurting South Texas Farmers very badly. Last year, the only Sugar Mill in Texas CLOSED, because Mexico has been stealing the water from Texas Farmers. Ted Cruz has been leading the fight to get South Texas the water it is owed, but Sleepy Joe refused to lift a finger to help the Farmers.

THAT ENDS NOW! I will make sure Mexico doesn’t violate our Treaties, and doesn’t hurt our Texas Farmers. Just last month, I halted water shipments to Tijuana until Mexico complies with the 1944 Water Treaty. My Agriculture Secretary, Brooke Rollins, is standing up for Texas Farmers, and we will keep escalating consequences, including TARIFFS and, maybe even SANCTIONS, until Mexico honors the Treaty, and GIVES TEXAS THE WATER THEY ARE OWED!

FLASHBACK: 30 years ago, Nancy Pelosi demanded Congress confront Chinese tariffs on American goods

An old video of Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., urging Congress to retaliate against China’s tariffs against the United States is going viral for how much it sounds like President Donald Trump’s current tariff policies.

The video, recorded on the House floor in June 1996, featured the lawmaker urging her colleagues to fight against the "status quo" trade policies that had contributed to America’s trade deficit with China. She specifically called on lawmakers to address the fact that American tariffs on Chinese goods paled in comparison to Chinese tariffs on U.S. goods.

"In terms of tariffs, it’s interesting to note that the average U.S. MFN [Most Favored Nation] tariff on Chinese goods coming into the United States is two percent, whereas the average MFN tariff on U.S. goods going into China is 35 percent."

The congresswoman asked, "Is that reciprocal?" She also went on to call the U.S.-China trade relationship a "job loser."

"In terms of jobs, this is the biggest and cruelest hoax of all. Not only do we not have market access, not only do they have prohibitive tariffs, not only are our exports not let in very specifically, but China benefits with at least, at least, 10 million jobs from U.S.-China trade.

"I never thought I was going to lose this much money this fast.

"I feel like I should have considered some other options (than Trump).

"We're not going to hire any more people, that's for sure."

Opps. No sympathy, not for a 3-time LOSER.

[O Really]

No sympathy from me. Once I can almost understand, twice is maybe forgivable for someone who benefitted from trumps ignorance, but three times is inexcusable. Hope all his bees leave him too.

Stephen Miller’s ‘Extremely Stupid’ Spin On Trump’s Tariff Moves Gets Roasted Online
The top Trump adviser’s gushing post went viral but for all the wrong reasons

Trump lost and caved in.

I’m watching his administration recoil from a sloppy deployment of a very shortsighted and contentious opening move.

This is a very obvious “you over played your hand move.” Now you’re attempting to spin the narrative because the result was so bad.

A man that could not get Casinos (@realDonaldTrump) to be profitable, is not even a master over a business designed to generate profits, let alone negotiating with allies and trade partners.

Trump made a massive mistake with the tariffs. He had to back down. So now his team has to protect his image and ego by saying extremely stupid things, like this

It’s a cult for morons and the hopelessly ignorant.

Another moronic and shameless cultist:

Karoline Leavitt Puts ‘Laughable’ Spin On Trump Tariffs Reversal, Sparks Mockery Online
The Trump White House press secretary’s remarks were slammed as “insane,” “shameful” and more.

... “Many of you in the media clearly missed the art of the deal, you clearly failed to see what President Trump is doing here. You try to say that the rest of the world would be moved closer to China when in fact we’ve seen the opposite of that. The entire world is calling the United States of America, not China, because they need our markets, they need our consumers and they need this president in the Oval Office to talk to them.”

Trump has also shown “great courage,” she claimed, with his newly increased tariff of 125% on Chinese imports.

He tanked the economy and then he reversed course.

I didn't know the art of the deal included tanking the stock market. Guess I should have read the book.

If you have to explain the “art” of the deal after it causes a recession, it probably wasn’t a deal, it was a disaster.

Nice try but no amount of spin can turn this self inflicted economic chaos into “the art of the deal.”

What we’re seeing a damage control wrapped in shameful denial.

When tariffs tank markets and small businesses crumble, propaganda won’t pay the bills. They’ll run out of theatrics, sooner or later.

Or maybe he realized what he was doing is stupid. Who are these countries also?

viewtopic.php?p=211708#p211708

Leavitt's spin on Trump's tariff mess is laughable. The market's tanking, and they’re calling it "art of the deal"? More like art of the crash. 90 days of chaos and a 125% China tariff, recipe for disaster, not negotiation. Wake up, this is reckless.

Then, there's the idiot Cult Leader, himself:

Donald Trump’s New Hot Take On His Tariffs Sparks 1 Hell Of An Eye Roll Online
The president claimed his use of the description was "positive," but critics begged to differ.
Apr 9, 2025

... During a rambling, lengthy speech at the National Republican Congressional Committee Dinner in Washington, D.C., Trump claimed that Republicans will actually benefit from the situation come the 2026 midterm elections.

“We’re going to win the midterm elections and we’re going to have a tremendous, thundering landslide. I really believe that,” Trump said.

Trump has admitted there will be economic pain caused by the upheaval but has insisted it will be good for America in the end.

“I really think we’re helped a lot by the tariffs situation that’s going on, which is a good situation, not a bad, it’s great, it’s going to be legendary, you watch. Legendary in a positive way, I have to say. It’s going to be legendary,” Trump said....

This is out of touch with reality. Democrats could win back the Senate at this rate.

Definitely gonna be legendary
