No, he just has the emotional intelligence of someone with self-confidence who decides that he isn't prepared to tolerate such a dolt in the team. Remember, "several people" knew. Pulte must be exceptionally dumb about spreading whispers about ...

‘I’m Gonna Punch You in Your F--king Face’: Scott Bessent Threatens an Administration Rival

Is good. Is assertive. Is healthy to have it out with childish snivelling weasels who schemes behind your back. In front of everyone so everyone knows that you know Pulte is a pathetic weakling spreading discontent about someone who is clearly on ...

‘I’m Gonna Punch You in Your F--king Face’: Scott Bessent Threatens an Administration Rival

Pulte is a dolt.

Bessent dismisses costs of tariffs, but says U.S. would have to give huge refunds if they're...

She can be pretty conservative herself. Apparently her role model is Margaret Thatcher. She brought the UK into the 20th century at the time, possibly something Japan now needs badly.

Japan could get its first woman prime minister as Sanae Takaichi leads the polls. But it's far...

They only have to consider the law, actually, not all the existential stuff put before them by the Trump team. So, what the lower courts found constitutionally, and specifically in regards to the IEEPA (the emergency powers Act), will probably be ...

Bessent dismisses costs of tariffs, but says U.S. would have to give huge refunds if they're...

Well that's a point. I also seem to remember something about nearly 200 US military bases in over 50 countries. That is micro managing just a tad, me thinks, but I may be wrong.

Trump: Ready to move to the second phase of imposing sanctions on Russia

Possibly. The only other explanation I can think of is the imports purchased by any arm of the US government itself, like say the military. Interesting. We'll see, eh? 14% is quite a lot. Bit of a bureaucratic mess, I reckon. Or, perhaps 14% of ...

Bessent dismisses costs of tariffs, but says U.S. would have to give huge refunds if they're...

Oh look, is there any evidence that sanctions hurt the people that they should? It's so general and spread so thin, they are a bit like monetary policy. I would advocate calling out and boycotting those companies and countries which supply the US ...

Trump: Ready to move to the second phase of imposing sanctions on Russia

In the context of a forum, I guess I prefer some measure of credibility. This involves choosing some moniker and sticking with it. I think that freedom of expression/speech is promoted in that manner - we may agree and disagree and at times ...

Fed Goolsbee: I'm still undecided on September rate decision

People lie so much these days as if it is some kinda right that it is difficult to what the truth is anymore. Judging by the sentiment here and his track record, he is lying. Which is kinda weird, because he is virtue signalling. What?

Hassett: Fed monetary policy must be entirely independent from political influence, including...

That's incorrect. You are unregistered. Where is that confounded bridge? Anyway, it is always a credible signal of a newbie to make up some credentials, make bold but opaque statements without a shred of analysis and then say, oh, watch out for ...

Fed Goolsbee: I'm still undecided on September rate decision

It's not every day that a firm with substantial market power abuses this position by engaging in blatant anti competitive behaviour. But when one does, count on Trump to suggest that the penalty imposed on it for doing so is unfair.

Trump: Europe hit Google with a $3.5 billion fine. My administration will not allow these...

Clearly yet another manifestation of Trump's ongoing obsession with win/lose, debit credit, rather than a much more optimal path being win/win.

President Trump Makes Announcements, Sep. 5, 2025

It's not a matter of wanting to be for Chuck Norris.

Trump: Looks like we’ve lost India and Russia to deepest, darkest, China. May they have a long...

Interesting indeed, but without knowing the relevant rules of evidence in the USA, I think that whatever Trump has said in his tweets or whatever would either not be admissible or deemed irrelevant and dismissed as being just grandiose exaggerations ...

Trump asks Supreme Court to save his emergency tariffs

I had no idea that propaganda was so prevalent in the USA. The complete lack of understanding and awareness is so dogmatic in the post that you responded to it is frightening.

Trump: Looks like we’ve lost India and Russia to deepest, darkest, China. May they have a long...

Another accountant type preaching Modern Monetary Theory. I was hoping they had given up - they are what is known as heterodox economics. MMT advocates some quite unsustainable policy measures. Fluffy feel good stuff. For example, treasury interest ...

Ray Dalio is Wrong – A Debt Heart Attack isn’t Coming

I wasn't aware of that. A credible source would be really appreciated - as I said, evidence is required. There is no need to shout.

Trump asks Supreme Court to save his emergency tariffs

Find yourself a name and I might respond.

Trump asks Supreme Court to save his emergency tariffs

I have to presume it was done through Congress (the legislative arm of Government), because that is how it ought to be done. Presumptions may only be rebutted with evidence to the contrary.
