Call Me
There are so many things to unpack with the Trump tariff circus. The latest being the 145% tariff in China and then exempting electronics such as computer, computers and phones. But Trump is saying this is only temporary. Trump also says that he is waiting for a call from Chinese leader Xi Jinping, to start…

Trust Gone
Would you buy a used car from this man? The one on the right, not the portrait. The Trump tariff circus continues. It is a circus in that he has flipped and flopped, all over the place, in the past couple of months. Does anyone know what he’s gonna do tomorrow? No. Not even his…

Reality
Trump backed down yesterday. The Dow Jones went up almost 3000 points in reaction to it. But reality is sinking in.

Day To Remember
Donald Trump should’ve done his tariff announcement on April 1 instead of April 2. It would have been much more appropriate for him to do this on April Fools’ Day. The first day, let me rephrase that, the first morning after the Dow is down 1200 points and plummeting downwards. The above chart shows that…

Let Them Eat Cake
When Marie Antoinette was being told that the peasants did not even have bread, she replied by saying the above. Donald Trump, during an interview was questioned about the fact that tariffs would dramatically increase the costs of purchasing an automobile. This is how he responded. “I couldn’t care less. I hope they raise their…
