Posts: 5385Trump, man of Peace, not War
See, that's why Trump wanted to fire missiles into our southern border ally country and bomb it, call out USA Military troops to shoot USA protesters and, eventually, incite a violent, cop-killing Insurrection against America, whipping up and urging his America-hating mob to "fight like hell and never give up or you lose your country" and have our military wage a Civil War against USA citizens at the Capitol.
Because, you know, he is a "genius" who understands how bad war is for the economy:
Esper says Trump proposed launching missiles into Mexico to destroy drug labs
May 5, 2022
https://thehill.com/policy/defense/3...roy-drug-labs/
According to Esper, Trump raised the idea of bombing the drug labs at least twice in the summer of 2020. Trump told Esper the U.S. should shoot missiles into Mexico to destroy the drug labs.
They dont have control of their own country, Trump told Esper, according to the Times review of the memoir.
When Esper objected, Trump responded no one would know it was us and we could just shoot some Patriot missiles and take out the labs, quietly.
Esper at first assumed it was a joke but thought otherwise as he looked at the president, according to The Times.
...
Trump had threatened to deploy active-duty troops to address the protests, but Esper came out against the proposal publicly, drawing the presidents ire.

While everyone else was elated yesterday, I was bucking the trend thrilled that SQQQ had come down so much in price. I did not care about a one day reaction. The market is going down. I am buying it and holding it.
You are so stupid you think that who is president matters with the stock market. As Buffett says when interest rates go up, stocks have to come down. In fact, the market decline is not due to declining earnings at all. It is all due to multiple contraction, and you have no clue what I am talking about.
The next step will be a decline in earnings due to an increase in costs. Some companies have been honest about it, and others have not been.
With you, multiple contractions and earnings misses have nothing to do with stock prices. The only thing that matters with stock prices in your world is who is president, and that is why you are a fool.

Yeah, he'll probably win that Repub primary again. Especially now that Repubs know his sterling historic record and penchant for producing truly horrific across-the-board results for America. They love that. It's the only thing they know how to do and want to do.

What was Trump's excuse for the broad USA stock market closing into a Bear Market in 2018? Or rather, what was your excuse for it?

Posts: 5385Yep, two dots are too many for Elvis 2008 to connect
Perfect example of Elvis 2008's inability to connect even two huge dots on a subject he desperately claims to be knowledgeable:
Elvis 2008 concluded this in response to my stating multiple times that my couple of moves in, out and back into the stock market over the decades worked out well for me but it was not a perfect record since I missed a couple of market tops under Bush2 and Trump that in my judgement were not subject to reasonable due diligence:
You meant that when you thought the market was going down you did not go short? No, that does not surprise me at all. You are as big an amateur as our president.
Therefore, to have "missed a market top" by not having done "due diligence" would be clearly understood by even most novices in stock market trading and investing to mean I most certainly did not "think the market was going down" as from a "market top" in those particular cases.
Um, see if I'd "thought the market was going down" then that had to mean the exact opposite of what I stated multiple times about those cases took place.
Just two dots to connect. Huge ones. I pointed to them multiple times here. But Elvis 2008 couldn't connect them re a subject he claims to know something about.

War is hell and unfortunately incident people die. There needs to be a solution to the war quickly, before things get out of hand.

We are financing this mess? Us alone? Again, horse puckey.
You wingers don't know what you want. If war got you what you wanted, you'd be all for it. If peace got you what you wanted, you'd be all for that, too. If a cease-fire got you what you wanted, you'd be all for that, too. The only thing you really care about is "owning the libs."
But more importantly, what would you do?

Bubba destroyed liberalism with the 3rd way.
They are leftists, huge difference.
