Looks like the MSM is up to its old tricks again.






Never mind the lousy job reports.

Never mind that the Biden inflation is proving difficult to control.

Oh, and don't tell us the bond market rallied. "After" China imposed a 34% tariff on American goods, right?

It seems to me people should listen to Warren Buffet. Who isn't exactly a Trump lover.

"Keep your head if you're spooked by tariffs".


The tariffs are having exactly the effect they were intended to have.

And corporate America is pissed. Boy are they pissed.

But look what just happened. Money moved out of stocks, and into bonds. The money didn't just disappear, it only changed its address. No one removed any money from the markets. Investors didn't stop investing.

The net effect of this move is corporations will have a harder time getting bank loans. Which means they'll have to issue bonds. Which is where the money is, now.

The leftard MSM is doing exactly what leftards do, trying to create a crisis where none exists. This move by President Trump will bring our debt service back down to an almost manageable level. It'll only be painful to the consumer for a very short time.

The markets were due for a correction anyway. They were top heavy on the arbitrage. The flip side of it is the corporations will have to perform if they want to stay in business.

Ultimately, this is about far more than a few dollars. It's about China building fake islands and harassing the Philippines and Taiwan and everyone else in the area. You'll notice DOGE hasn't stopped any defense programs yet. Instead we get Iron Dome V2. And Greenland lol. :p

Nixon is the guy that started this. Or really it was Henry Kissinger, who was crafty and shrewd. I always used to think he must have had an exit strategy, because he could surely see where this was headed even if he didn't appreciate the full magnitude of it.

There's an acute reality behind every one of President Trump's moves, they're perfectly logical. Yes, they'll put stress on everyone from corporations to consumers. It's time America got a little less lazy. We have the most productive workers in the world, and yet we spend our politicoeconomic capital on DEI. And grease of various kinds.

The markets? Your 401k will probably take a hit, unless you used the minimal risk maximum safety plan. You're funding a move back to self sufficiency, which is where we were a hundred years ago, and where we could be again, for the most part. The globalists don't like it, the Chinese don't like it, the lazy-ass Democrats are practically apoplectic, but at the end of the day the move is strategic and it's the right move.

Corporate America gets it. They're not stupid. They're unhappy, but they're not naive. How many in the Fortune 500 just shit canned their DEI programs? Dozens. Maybe even hundreds. They get it. They're on board even if they're grumbling.

The reality is Wall Street was overextended on its credit cards, just like most American consumers. Corporations that do this kind of thing suddenly find themselves unable to meet their payroll. Talk about chaos - when you buy a stock you own part of the company, and these days the ownership changes every 15 minutes. All this could benefit from a little regulation, and I mean that in the old fashioned sense of "make regular".

MSM is trying to sell us a pack of lies. As usual. They've become a mockery of themselves. There's no news anymore, it's just a gigantic infomercial.

Either America snd her system will prevail, support of civil liberties and Judeo-Christian values, or, the big, unaccountable government police state system of the Soviets/Chinese/Canadian model will win. MSM can promote all the propaganda they want for the be efit of global socialists who want America to collapse but the truth doesn't change.

Doing what they do, reporting the news of the day, again. Are you saying they should not report the huge drops in the stock market?
 
Wall street is a poor metric of economic well being, as they are the 1% that our trade policies created.

We are living in the widest disparity this country has ever seen , with sorts like Bernie yammering on about oligarchs and billionaires , all due to policies he helped legislate

Take that top 1% out of any economic math, and the real truth of our 'economy' reveals itself

They are not us!

Agreed. And not only is the 1% not us, they are our enemy. Problem is the 99% are busy fighting each other at the behest and benefit of the 1%.

And spending the last 4 years ignoring inflation.
They only report what they're told to report.
They all literally read off the same exact script.

This is the problem, the media constantly try to pressure policy at the behest of their deep pocket advertisers through responses to the stock market. A cabal of fund managers could effectively dictate government policy. Media never had is goal in the past since the west cared about capitalism and prktecting their ecknomic output and jobs. Now media just reports on the plight of the wealthy, the suffering the poor experience is NEVER tjed back to excessive.government spoending. I view it this way, even the uber wealthy have to knvest in the market so they cant and wint keep pushing it down for long. The irony is that Trump will get some residual benefits in the market drop such as lower rates, a drop or even reverse in inflation and lower oil costs. The drop in the stock market ensures these outcome so Trump has even more incentive to maintain the tariffs.
 
And yet - not a single one - none said anything about why he is doing this.
None.
Geraldo was on News Nation Wednesday night. Geraldo is not exactly a Trump fan is he?
But he actually addressed the reason why Trump is doing this. He took his family to Japan a few weeks ago. And they went up and down the island. And he purposefully was looking for American cars and any other American product. And he didn't see a single one.
You won't see any in China either. And only extreme rarity anywhere in Europe.
Because they tariff the shit out of us, and then add VAT taxes and other regulations that make American products too expensive to buy.
Did ANY of these people explain this? No. Only in the briefest of moments you even hear the words foreign tariffs.

Funny how the left have been railing against the corporations for decades and decades and now, all of a sudden, they are concerned about corporations. It just brings me to tears.

They reported the inflation. It is not the media's fault thin inflation rate dropped so much. They simply reported it. Just like it is not the media's fault trump inherited a booming economy, highest oil production in history, or record setting bull market stock market.

But, he took care of that, with his Trumped up Tariff war. So, now the stock market has lost over $11 Trillion dollars since January, with $6.6 Trillion Dollars, lost Thursday and Friday, alone, possibly triggering a Global Recession and all the inflation that will come with the mess. I planned for it, sending everything to savings, knowing it might happen with Trump at the helm. I hope you did, also. I told you guys not to vote for him. Are you tired of winning, yet?

Well, it all they got what with egg prices going down so yeah, I'd expect that.
I doubt if the media had anything to do with the spread of Bird Flue to poultry/egg producers. USDA had the policy in effect to kill the birds on infected farms. Trump has kept it in place. Egg imports are up.

Meh, they should have invested wiser....I'm down a tad but I suspect my investments will gain greatly in value as folks move to safer investments.

Remember, The Great Depression was caused almost exclusively by Wall Street and then perpetuated in it's length by FDR.

Not worried a bit.

Oh....you're one of those folks that thinks the stock market is all that matters in the economy.

The stock market doesn't really matter much to me personally because my investments are in other things, like my home and my savings account.

The biggest thing you seem to have missed is how much the price of everything went up under Biden. If he or Kamala had stayed in they were planning on causing even more inflation.

You really need to stop watching the MSM, including Fox News.

So Trump gets into office and he's causing the market to adjust. But once everything's settled down the markets will go back up.

Meanwhile the usual suspects who told you Biden had his wits will tell us the sky is falling.

I don't thinks tariff are a great idea and he went overboard. I doubt he gives rats as about education either.

Dude, there's always more news of the day than what they're reporting.

You must think that the news that leftist Democrat supporting producers are giving us is the only news out there.

Boy are you stupid.

If there was any truth to your statement then everyone would be reporting something different, but instead they're all reporting off the same script like communist propagandists.
And it's all opinion based. Yet they read it word for word in identical fashion.

Trump isn't using tariffs like a permanent solution but a bargaining chip.
He wants these people to come to the table, because they all know that if we apply tariffs to their products, Americans will stop buying them. Samsung and VISIO relegated Sony to 3rd place because of trade wars with Japan that took place in the 80s.
