TRILLIONS? Riiiiiight. I have long despised politician's and their complete lack of accountability. It should be criminal to say something like this (because there is NO WAY Trillions have been taken in....so it's just lying at this point). My complaint is not that these things are said (free speech, right?) but that people BELIEVE these things. There's zero chance I can convince the masses that these numbers are fictitious though, so I call on integrity from our leaders.

It is my opinion (and just that, an opinion, as others will no doubt have a different stance), that the president of the United States (and ANY leader, for that matter) should not conduct him/herself in such a flamboyant and emotional manner....at least not publicly.

Of course, there is little the world can do about the US having voted into power a man we were supposed to have "known" would do/say/think this way. BUT, we, as Americans, could BEGIN to seek better from our elected officials, from all political parties. I know these are just "people", but they can/should also be role models and represent the "best" of society, not just what drives divisiveness and headlines.

Yes, yes, I know. That is a fantasy. Sigh. However, if nothing is ever said about it, how can it ever been addressed? Sadly, either through apathy or defeatism, there certainly seems that little can be done.

One of these days we'll (again?) get candidates who can represent our country honorably.

Until then.....best of luck with your trades!

It's not only being dumb since he thinks he is going to meet Putin in Russia on Friday. That's a clear sign on severe cognitive issues. Can you imagine what would have happened if that had come out of Biden's mouth.

At this point he has difficulties forming any longer meaningful sentences and stay in topic. From now on things will start get worse at a much faster pace. Good luck to all of us, except to those ignorant Americans who voted him to power.

Anyone can have a slip up, but its obvious Trump has way too many. Dumb or senile I don't even know anymore.

Trump LIES!! The American people pay the tarrifs on goods coming into the USA. Not the other countries or companies sending the goods. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE PAY!!!!!! How does this benefit US? It doesn't!!!
Time to get rid of the circus and the clowns!

The system itself is so broken and corrupt that there is not a single politician in DC that represents anyone or anything honorably on either side of the aisle. For every negative thing you can say about one side, you can say about the other. But ai will be replacing countless millions jobs around the world and many governments will collapse with so many unemployed. Then people will realize what actually matters and actually has value. Enjoy your life as it is now, it will change dramatically in the next decade.

UPS tried to send me a tariff bill, I refused to pay it and they took it out of the shippers account / seller and shipper they had to reconcile/figure it out. If they raise the price ill find a different vendor.

I'm quite sure - both are real. Dumb nation selected a little bit less duber leader. I can't even imagined that this kind of "economy overview" can be presented in public. Looks I was wrong.. arrogance has no limits.

Trump: Jerome “Too Late” Powell must now lower the rate; to pursue lawsuit against Powell
From @realDonaldTrump | Aug 12, 2025 | 183 comments
Jerome “Too Late” Powell must NOW lower the rate. Steve “Manouychin” really gave me a “beauty”when he pushed this loser. The damage he has done by always being Too Late is incalculable. Fortunately, the economy is sooo good that we’ve blown through Powell and the complacent Board. I am, though, considering allowing a major lawsuit against Powell to proceed because of the horrible, and grossly incompetent, job he has done in managing the construction of the Fed Buildings. Three Billion Dollars for a job that should have been a $50 Million Dollar fix up. Not good! *TRUMP: CONSIDERING ALLOWING A MAJOR LAWSUIT AGAINST POWELL *TRUMP: CONSIDERING POWELL LAWSUIT OVER FED BUILDING MANAGEMENT
Trump: Just signed EO that will extend tariff suspension on China for another 90 days; all other elements of the agreement remain the same
From @realDonaldTrump | Aug 11, 2025 | 6 comments
I have just signed an Executive Order that will extend the Tariff Suspension on China for another 90 days. All other elements of the Agreement will remain the same. Thank you for your attention to this matter! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Further modifying reciprocal tariff rates to reflect ongoing discussions with the People’s Republic of China By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2483), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, I hereby determine and order: Section 1. Background. In Executive Order 14257 of April 2, 2025 (Regulating Imports With a Reciprocal Tariff to Rectify Trade Practices That Contribute to Large and Persistent Annual United States Goods Trade Deficits), I found that conditions reflected in large and persistent annual U.S. goods trade deficits, including the consequences of those exploding trade deficits, constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and economy of the United States that has its source in whole or substantial part outside the United States. I declared a national emergency with respect to that threat, and to deal with that threat, I imposed certain ad valorem duties that I deemed necessary and appropriate.
