Trump Says the Darndest Things!

Thanks Donald for another historic day.

New York
CNN

“I guess they say it was the biggest day in financial history,” President Donald Trump told reporters Wednesday afternoon. Later, in an apparent hot-mic moment, he told a fawning senator that the market was up almost seven percentage points. “Nobody’s ever heard of it. It’s gonna be a record.”

If we can just get him chasing that feeling of getting the market to go up we might get through this relatively unscathed

I think he prefers to take the wings off of flies, as he did when he was a child (allegedly, by me, just now).
Plus, this gives him the chance to tell his cronies when to buy and sell and become billionaires.

On the topic of billionaires:

He’s in the oval office, pointing to Charles Shwab, and saying that this guy made $2.5 billion today.

(Other sources say the younger guys in the room are NASCAR drivers, no idea how Trump get that mix into the office.)

Where is the revolution?

Working from home

Maybe this will get Americans’ attention:

“many products that the U.S. imports are predominantly from China,” including 73 percent of smartphones, 78 percent of laptops, 87 percent of video game consoles and 77 percent of toys. “Resourcing from other countries will take time and result in much higher costs,” Mr. Zhang said in an interview on Wednesday.

Yep. US phones are about to get a hell of a lot more expensive.

I have seen what happens in Brazil when you have high import duties for electronics.

US folks will end up buying them abroad (Canada is likeliest) and you will also see a lot of smuggling as entities try to evade the tariffs.

You won’t find it on tv, that’s for sure.

Only when TikTok content creators go shopping for phones next.

I spent a chunk of today working from the waiting room of Subaru dealership’s service department. The sales folk at that dealership are very unhappy campers. Thrice I had to do my spiel of "We didn’t budget for a new car this year, but I wish we had. I thought next year’s bonus was going to go to a new car, but now… :person_shrugging: "

At least I got this major service done before tariffs really hit the cost of parts.

Trump again saying Zelensky started the war.

“Trump went on to suggest Zelensky did when asked about his offer to purchase more patriot missile systems.

“Listen, when you start a war, you gotta know that you can win the war, right? You don’t start a war with someone who’s 20 times your size and then hope people give you some missiles,” Trump said.”

Unless they start requiring addresses to stop americans from buying them in canada. These limitations already exist with some products.

Like, i cant buy a boat at basspro within about 150 miles of the border.

A lot of people didn’t see it the way it was. We had the largest gain in the stock market in history, on every single category last week.

I guess arguably true if you focus only on Wednesday and ignore the rest of the week.

Fox News prefers to interview Trump about his “clueless” predecessor in the White House rather than ask Trump about his own policies.

“They [the Biden administration] had a lot of bad people. They had a lot of radical left lunatics in there, and I think he was perfect. He was perfect for them because he didn’t have a clue,” Trump said on Fox Noticias.

More of the every accusation is confession files.

Well, Dear Leader has offered Easter greetings in his usual form.
