    Nonononono, that was his LAST term.
    He’s already clarified that was moot when he fucked with the (art of the) trade deals he negotiated then.
    If you are thinking in terms of terms (4 years) or years (1 year) you are daydreaming. Get your head out of your head! Get into the here & now. Grab the here by the now! Week on week? Weak eats weak. Day at a time, hour by hour, minute by minute, second by second, trade by trade

    Threaten, bully, strong-arm. That’s how you business. That’s how you run a casino. That’s how you win. The house always wins, so it’s time to double down!
    We aren’t looking at yesteryear or even yesterday. It’s not even about the forecasts of tomorrow.
    It’s about the here and now.
    Markets are closed? Don’t care.
    Markets are shut down due to a selling circuit breaker? Don’t care.
    Markets are open? Why aren’t we buying?

    It’s all about line goes up. And if it doesn’t go up, it’s about buying.
    You see, winners buy the dip. Everyone should be buying right now. And the US tariffs that. Tariff the buy, so other people pay to make the line go up.
    If the US is selling, the US is being swindled. So buy the dip.

    (Idk what the fuck this is. Some drunken ramblings. I hope everyone is doing well, even if we are all being fucked over financially)

      Idk what the fuck this is.

      No problem, I could see some “economist” from the government saying exactly that in an interview.

        I feel like there should be a “fediverse gold” community, that just links to crazy shit like this…

          progress is both encouraged and anxious to be celebrated. no one will stand in your way, but it is important to remember the distinction between “we should…” and “it would be fucking awesome if I…”

            Agree, but also I CBF if no one else thinks it’s a good idea. Which is why I posted this: https://lemmy.world/post/27963154 - I’ll see how that pans out for a day or two, and then I might post that as my first suggestion ;)

            I’m also aware that this particular community could be a problem as it could lead to brigading or things like that.

      All you need to do is package that monologue into a presentable podcast/YouTube video with the right persona and you can sell them as wealth management seminars for sigmas.
