It could be a bad-bad day for the Democrats

Forests are much more fertile after a fire. Just saying.

Don't torture the analogy too much.

Don't torture the analogy too much.

It is a very accurate analogy. It is just a concept that liberals are incapable of understanding. Their world is full of balloons and lollipops, unlike the real world.

Trade deal with China, ceasefire in India, last known American hostage released by Hamas, order to reduce prescriptions…a secure border

I get you think those things are nasty, but Americans don’t

Trump didn't do any of those things! It's Joe Biden, he lost his mind and his mind is out there somewhere operating independently!

In the real world, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

Trump thinks we are going to get rich off of revenue from tariffs.

But the tariffs are going to be taken down because we are going to have trade deals.

But manufacturing will move back to the US because the tariffs incentivize domestic production.

Meanwhile we are showing our leadership to be erratic and unpredictable, which makes us a particularly unattractive investment.

Well there was nothing erratic about the race to the bottom we were involved in. It was very consistent and everyone was able to count on it.

Ok, we will see who is correct. I believe you are very wrong.

You haven't said anything specific enough to be correct or incorrect.

That's the strategy with MAGA. They use vagueness to avoid ever having to be wrong.

And you have? I simply said that our economy and the markets will benefit from these actions. These benefits will be long lasting, unless another Democrat comes into office and sells the US out again.

I stay away from making predictions. I don't see the point. It's just a reflection of partisan desires, not well thought out evaluations.

But you sure aren't afraid of making predictions.

I said they probably won't affect us much because global tariffs are already pretty low. I asked how we'd measure benefits, but I don't remember seeing you respond to that. There are downsides that are more difficult to measure.

I said that high tariffs cause inflation. I don't know why anyone would disagree with that statement.

What was erratic and unpredictable? He made perfectly clear what he was gonna do with tariffs and why.
