Now you will clap for Xi.
Or maybe you too will end up charged for “crimes”.
“To wit, there never would have been a double inverse VIX ETF under a regime of honest money and free market financial discipline; nor would you find European junk bond yields trading inside of US treasuries.”

Well, Donald Trump just delivered what might very fairly be described as one of the most unhinged speeches the public has witnessed since his infamous “sons of bitches”/”rocket man” rant in Huntsville.Â
