Round one of Donald Trump’s trade war has come to an inglorious end. The United States has suspended its threats against Canada and Mexico in return for border-enforcement measures that Canada and Mexico either were doing anyway or had done before without making much difference in the flow of drugs. What can Americans and others learn from this costly episode—other than not to repeat it? The following:
Results with Trump being in office less than 3 weeks.
US stocks fell on Friday as investors reacted to the threat of more possible tariffs from the Trump administration while digesting a jump in consumer expectations for inflation
Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq slide as inflation, tariff fears push stocks to another losing week.
The S&P 500 (^GSPC) moved almost 1% lower, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) slid around 1.4%, both finishing their second week of consecutive losses.
Americans now expect an inflation rate of 4.3% over the next year, a full percentage point higher than last month
The markets do not like chaos. And who knows what loony tunes and his sidekick might announce next. Probably tariffs on all American-made goods sold in the US, lol.
Unless he dies, gets impeached, or they invoke the 25th against him, only 1,442 days and some change, left to go. I didn’t think he could do the damage he did in his last term, who knew…
Let’s hope the courts hold up, it’s obvious Congress has no spine left and is scared to stand up to him in the fear of getting a nasty 2 AM tweet storm railed against them.
No other words are truly spoken…
So here’s the REAL story:
Ambassador Stevens was sent to Benghazi to secretly retrieve US made Stinger Missiles that the State Dept had supplied to Ansar al Sharia in Libya WITHOUT Congressional oversight or permission.
Sec State Hillary Clinton had brokered the Libya deal through Ambassador Stevens and a Private Arms Dealer named Marc Turi, but some of the shoulder fired Stinger Missiles ended up in Afghanistan where they were used against our own military. On July 25th, 2012, a US Chinook helicopter was downed by one of them. Not destroyed only because the idiot Taliban didn’t arm the missile. The helicopter didn’t explode, but it had to land and an ordnance team recovered the missile’s serial number which led back to a cache of Stinger Missiles kept in
Qatar by the CIA.
Obama and Hillary were in full panic mode, so Ambassador Stevens was sent to Benghazi to retrieve the rest of the Stinger Missiles. This was a “do-or-die” mission, which explains the Stand Down Orders given to multiple rescue teams during the siege of the US Embassy.
It was the State Dept, NOT the CIA, that supplied the Stinger Missiles to our sworn enemies because Gen. Petraeus at CIA would not approve supplying the deadly missiles due to their potential use against commercial aircraft. So then, Obama threw Gen. Petraeus under the bus when he refused to testify in support of Obama’s phony claim of a “spontaneous uprising caused by a YouTube video that insulted Muslims.”
Obama and Hillary committed TREASON!
THIS is what the investigation is all about, WHY she had a Private Server, (in order to delete the digital evidence), and WHY Obama, two weeks after the attack, told the UN that the attack was the result of the YouTube video, even though everyone KNEW it was not.
Furthermore, the Taliban knew that the administration had aided and abetted the enemy WITHOUT Congressional oversight or permission, so they began pressuring (blackmailing) the Obama Administration to release five Taliban generals being held at Guantanamo.
Bowe Bergdahl was just a useful pawn used to cover the release of the Taliban generals. Everyone knew Bergdahl was a traitor but Obama used Bergdahl’s exchange for the five Taliban generals to cover that Obama was being coerced by the Taliban about the unauthorized Stinger Missile deal.
So we have a traitor as POTUS that is not only corrupt, but compromised, as well and a Sec of State that is a serial liar, who perjured herself multiple times at the Congressional Hearings on Benghazi. Perhaps this is why no military aircraft were called upon for help in Benghazi: because the administration knew that our enemies had Stinger Missiles that, if used to down those planes, would likely be traced back to the CIA cache in Qatar and then to the State Dept’s illegitimate arms deal in Libya.
Forward this again and again and again until everyone reads the true story of Benghazi.
They have tried two out of three. You may be a prophet. But, we’ll have to wait and see how desperate the dying Democratic party becomes.
On another note. I find similarities between the Harris campaign and the current Democrat party.
Harris on the economy and Democrats on spending. Both act as if they were/are not the problem.
So I say, no, the 17 fired IG’s were never going to do their job. Spending was never going to be cut. These agencies were never going to self moderate their spending.
The people have had enough. Fire them all. And do NOT rebuild.
Including Congress? If not, why not?
You act like this is all a Democratic party problem, it’s not.
Congress is the one who has spent the money, and Republicans are currently in the majority.
Okay, let’s start with the space program.
Fine, I don’t care. We can’t afford it. Problem is, our President does support it and did long before Musk.
Congress may need to act. Oh wait, Congress is Republican too. It’s Republican because the Dems lost on their stupid social engineering platforms.
No one is looking at Dems for their approval because they are not serious.
Why yes, yes they are… CURRENTLY… and are working diligently to resolve the issues their counterparts, such as YOU, inflicted upon this country!
What the heck’s wrong with you guys? YOU were in the majority for many, many years! Why don’t YOU give a shit enough to help solve REAL problems, instead of your constant attacking of true Citizens??
Feeling okay today JJ? Did you forget your meds? Settle down, It wasn’t just ME who created the debt mess we’re in.
It was both Democrats AND Republicans, so that would mean it was YOU too. It’s YOU’RE fault too. WTF is wrong with YOU, it’s obvious YOU don’t give a ratsass about our country.
Instead of wanting things done right, YOU want what you call “true citizens” to destroy it all, YOU want “true citizens” to burn it all TF down. Where TF were YOU during Trumps last term when he added over $8 trillion to the debt?
YOU can take YOUR “true citizens” and shove them up YOUR ***.
Just what we don’t need.
