Mixed Feelings
Donald Trump went off the rails again, Friday, and sent the trade negotiations between Canada and US off the rails, as well. Trump ended all negotiations on Friday stating that the digital services tax was very unfair to Americans. This tax, was to be applied retroactively, today, back to 2023. US tech giants such as…

Trade Deficit Thingy
How is this whole trade deficit thingy working for you Donald? Do you remember back in February when you started talking about raising tariffs against the whole world, including those penguins in the South Pacific. The deficit then exploded up to $141 billion in March because US importers were stocking up on goods, ahead of…

TACO Tariff Tenth Time
TACO Trump has been signing executive order tariff hikes, left and right, since he became president. He did it again last night at midnight, raising tariffs on steel and aluminum to 50%. This is no laughing matter. But it is hard to take seriously given his TACO history. As I am pecking out this chirp,…

At It Again
TACO Trump is added again with this tariff force. “The bad news is that China, perhaps not surprisingly to some, HAS TOTALLY VIOLATED ITS AGREEMENT WITH US. So much for being Mr. NICE GUY!” If TACO had done this three weeks ago, the stock markets would’ve been fluctuating wildly on it’s decent down. TACO issued…

Simple Math, Donald
Donald Trump wants Apple to manufacture their cell phones in the US. Actually, he wants a whole swath of items currently being imported from China to be made in the US. Sounds simple, right. Not.

For example, liberals in the states, and in Canada, I might add, believe that Donald Trump cannot do anything right. Conservatives, in Canada, will tell you that Mark Carney cannot do anything right. We all saw the meeting between Trump…

With his tariff insanity he’s facing a lot of political pressure from his own party and financial pressure, admi that a recession might happen. According to Donnie, a recession won’t be all that bad. And with the tariffs, instead of kids getting…

Pigeon Crap
Some days why even bother. Donald Trump is like a pigeon on steroids crapping everywhere he goes and leaving a mess for others to clean up. Trump met with commercial retailer executives on Monday. They told him that these tariffs on China are going to result in empty shelves for customers. So Trump appears to…

Yo-yo
I am sure that I’m not the only one who has been looking at the value of their retirement savings lately. Investments in the stock market has been going up and down like a yo-yo ever since Donald Trump began his follow up presidency. We have days of the Dow Jones going up and down…

Typical Day
Just a typical day of WTF’s in the Trump circus. Trump met with El Salvador president,Bukele, where they gleefully talked about human rights abuses. They both agreed that the man the Trump administration mistakenly deported to El Salvador, will remain languishing in prison in El Salvador. So much for the Supreme Court ruling ordering that…
