An infinite deal. Somewhat akin to a marriage.
The infinite, forever TACO stand remains open.
To quote Stanley Hudson, “This here is a run out the clock situation.”
Anyone “negotiating” with Trump has the playbook right in front of them. Flatter and delay. Those hamberders will do their job eventually.
Early in the life of CNBC I thought I heard a rumor that Joe sold vacuum cleaners door-to-door. He certainly in no way could be taken as a world-renowned pundit.
I’d say most of what Joe does ‘is unbecoming a 70 year old man’.
His handlers talked him down from the tree limb he was sawing on, while sitting on the wrong side. Ho Hum, another Trump fantasy crushed !
Danish CEO/Founder Lars Christensen puts it: “Americans live in the illusion that the US can do everything on its own, despite the fact that the US for nearly 20 years has lived beyond its means. US private and government consumption has been funded by, among others, European central banks and pension funds. But we now have to ask ourselves — why would we trade in dollars? Why would we put our savings into US Treasury bonds? If the US is not a rules-based society, we cannot trust the dollar to be a stable currency, and it would be insane to hold dollars. As domestic US institutions are eroded and governance structures destroyed, the US will be turned into an emerging market economy — or more accurately, a de-merging economy. If the US threatens the territory of allies, then the US acts as an authoritarian bully nation. Nobody in their right mind would lend money to the US government. If the US doesn’t live up to its international obligations and respect the sovereignty of other nations, why would we expect the US government to honour its debts? If Trump can tariff nations that will not give up their territory, then there is certainly no reason to believe that the US will not introduce capital controls. And if that is a risk, why would you risk investing in the US? It is not a question about Europe standing up to the US. It is a question about being prudent with our investments — about reducing risks.”
Gimpy, thanks for posting that, I hadn’t seen it. It’s nice to read opinion that’s straightforward and rests on logic and political ass protecting. Trump’s the guy holding a gun to your head telling you to make him an omelette. I know I’d do it, but if he turned his back I’d hit him as hard as I could with the frying pan. In the months ahead, we’re going to find out a lot about our political and business leaders’ spines. For those like Jeff Bezos, we already have a pretty good idea as he’s paid 9 figures in protection money to the Capo. There was an article today about Amazon providing ICE video access to Ring doorbell archived data.
H-Man, Karl Rove posted an opinion in the WSJ and it was not pretty for the Republican party. If I had to guess, Rove will have the FBI knocking on his door in the morning to discuss “insurrection”.
