Trump was already The Worst in Part 1. He is likely to remain so in Part 2.
[QUOTE=Sirioja;2996041]So senile Trump with 0 knowledge about economics. USA really fell so down with him. Only good point, when stupid Trump failed about Ukrainian war, is the fall for petrol rate, good for me for my driving and bad for Putin war, when he will only stop when no more money, but not when Trump is swallowing his sperm.[/QUOTE]The only thing more hilarious than Trump bashing Biden for the Envy of the World Economy that Biden handed him and lecturing us on how much smarter he is and better results he produced than Biden, the previous presidents and everyone else in history is when his idiot MAGA Cult Followers and voters try to pull the same shit. LOL.
Nobody in history had WORSE across-the-board results on everything important from jobs creation, national security, keeping American democracy safe from attack domestically and abroad, crime rates, health and welbeong, skyrocket the deficit with nothing of real value to show for it, you name it, than Donald J. Trump. He was truly and inarguably deserving of that bipartisan group of presidential historians ranking him The Worst President in USA History.
And don't anybody even try to pull that idiot Winger crap about all of those Worst Ever results happening because of the "China virus" Pandemic that those Wingers insist "came out of nowhere, nobody predicted it, it wasn't his fault" when the evidence of him laying the groundwork for any damn airborne viral spread developing into a Pandemic and doing and saying everything a World Leader could possibly do and say to further establish and exacerbate it is overwhelming.
Not least of which is the easily observable reality that he is trying to repeat that accomplish with the next opportunistic disease spread this very day.
This Trump's Pandemic Part 2 term is bound to be even worse than the first one. Which would be no surprise AT ALL to the 48.3% of the electorate that was smart enough and patriotic enough to vote for Harris, of course.
Now, only 80 days in, less than 3 months, the so-called best of time "honeymoon phase" of a presidency, even many of the MAGAs have finally been educated about the waddling disaster known as Donald Trump, as evidenced in his poll numbers.
When Rasmussen shows a Winger Repub this much under water on his Job Approval at this stage of his so-called presidency, you know he is fucking up so much even the Winger-leaning respondents they search for can't ignore it.
He is way, way under water on every issue in the RealClearPolitics' consensus polls except one; apparently the Winger-leaning polls RCP tends to count are still finding respondents delighted that he finally made the immigrants stop eating the cats and eating the dogs. That is destined to go down as Trump's one and only positive accomplishment through 8 years in office.

[QUOTE]At a Cabinet meeting, Trump declined to rule out extending the 90-day tariff pause and said he hadnt yet seen Tuesdays market sell-off.
Trump knew his tariffs might cause a recession, but his fear of a depression preceded his decision to pause the duties implementation for 90 days, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Stock markets fell after a huge rebound Wednesday.[/QUOTE]Now, some Trump Blithering Blather interpretors translate a "90 Day" reference in his blithering blather to mean "forever. ".
But I think the proper interpretation of a Trump Blithering Blather for "forever" is when he says something will happen "in two weeks".
We'll see how this goes in the fullness of time, of course.
I STILL don't understand why Mainstream Media isn't shouting at him like they almost always did with President Biden over every silly imperfection of his historically successful economic recovery from Trump's Pandemic over why oh why would the USA collecting Billions and Billions and Billions of dollars in Trump Tariff Taxes FROM OTHER COUNTRIES could possibly ever ever ever be a bad thing for the USA Economy, trigger a USA Stock Market Crash or Bond Market Crash and either another Great Repub Depression or another Great Repub Recession.
I mean, damn, it is as though those inconsiderate MSM reporters have totally forgotten what Trump's entire point and outcome of his Trump Tariff Taxes were always pitched and meant to accomplish!

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2995950]LOL. So now that the market has had the biggest rally in 5 years, is Trump a genius?
Go back to what I said.
Trump is dead set on getting the budget deficit and trade deficits down, and he thinks tariffs are the way to do it. Trump does not impose 10% tariffs. He goes to 80 and 90% tariffs, and fools like you scream what an idiot he is. The dummies in the market sell everything. He now goes to a 10% rate, and instead of people screaming bloody murder, the market rallies. Instead of being freaked out, people are grateful for "only" 10% tariffs. That is the art of the deal.
How many times are you Democratic douches going to fall for this? If you think Trump is rational as I do, this tactic falls on its face. If you think he is crazy, and you have the lamestream media telling you that night and day, then the Trump strategy keeps working. Thing about you Democratic douches is I think you would rather slit your wrists than get your collective heads out of your asses about Trump being rational. Two days from now, you will be posting another link about how crazy Trump is, and once again, that means he has you just where he wants you.[/QUOTE]He didn't care about the blue collar worker, unless you're talking about those in the PRC aka CCPland.

Get out of the fucking way The King is on "Fire"
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2995939]LOL. Yes, I appreciate the link. When I read something like that, I realize who the fools who have been making money in the Biden / Brezhnev market. The joke in the Brezhnev time was the USSR was the richest country in the world because everyone stealing and there were still things left over.
Facts do not go over well with a guy like SC. The disturbing fact in his foolish conspiracy theory is the price of TSLA and Truth Social have plummeted. If they wanted to buy things on the cheap, then why didn't Trump and Musk liquidate their billions in positions before the market crashed? Ah yes, they have squirreled away billions in their piggy banks, and he and he alone "knows" that. Oh brother. And never mind that real estate is way, way overpriced right now.
Then we go onto the great and most putrid pig of the Brezhnev / Biden era, AI. AI is going to save the world. SC's brilliant analysis on that is AI is the future and people will always buy the fastest chips. Don't people always want the best Iphone too? The WSJ just did an article on how the Iphone would cost $3000 if it was built in the USA versus the $1100 they are paying today. That is totally bullshit by the way. The idea was Americans love their new Iphones so much that they will squeal bloody murder.
I was looking at getting my gal and her daughter new phones. AT&T was selling the iphone 16 for $6 per month for 36 months. That is $216 not $1100. Whoops. Where they get you is the memory. If you want 512 GB of memory, which costs Apple like $20 total, AT&T charges you an added $20 a month. So the real cost would be $936 per phone with that memory. I do the calculation and instead buy an unlocked refurbished Iphone 15 for $600 with 512 GB of memory. So this is my big fuck you to the WSJ: I have never paid $1100 for a phone and I never will.
Then there was my gal. She likes Samsung, and it is the same schtick. If you want 128 GB of memory, the $1100 phone is $200 . If you want more, it goes closer to $1000. So for her, I buy a new but 3 year old Samsung for $500 and it comes from China.
Oh, but Elvis, you cannot do that anymore. Tariffs will kill you. Nope, Trump has changed when tariffs kick in. The value where tariffs used to kick in was $2500. Trump has lowered that to $800. A lot of people have missed this part. There would be no tariffs on my purchase even after what Trump has done.
But, but, but SCs point is that people always want the fastest chips. Well, I am one of those people and I just showed you I did not. I do not need the fastest chips and my women are going to love their new phones.
Then there is the google pixel. Their phones had these great cameras and their components were inferior to some of the higher end phone makers like Apple. How was that possible? Because google makes Android, and they were able to integrate the best picture software seamlessly. In other words, you do not need the "fastest chips" to have the best product. You need the best hardware and best software. What Google showed is if you have great software and just good hardware, you can have the best product.
As for bitcoin let's go back to the Apple deal. If Apple keeps making their phones in China, the theoretical price to make one goes from $550 to $950, and that means Apple is going to have to charge $1500 or so a phone to make the same profits. I will make the dubious assumption that Apple is not going to be able to do that and their sales and stock will go down. Anyone who bought Apple stock on margin is going to have to liquidate their holdings which include bitcoin. So just forget about bitcoin being spared in a recession. It plummeted in 2009. It will plummet if there is a recession now.
So next you have the Toomsian dumb fuck model where interest rates are going up while the world crashes. If there is a recession, that means demand for things including the demand for money goes down. People cannot borrow anymore. If there is less demand for money / credit, then rates come down. This Toomsian world where in this economy the economy crashes but rates stay high is absurd.
When you make the proclamation that AI is the future, are YOU using it right now? If so, is it as essential as what you eat or is it a gimmick? Everyone I know uses their phones and the internet but no one I personally know is using AI right now. I have been hearing about how great this tech has been for 5 years now. When does it stop being the future and starts being the present?
And what you will see from SC is the usual string of insults about his dick size, how everyone is racist, and this idiotic Trump conspiracy theory. I could care less if someone is on line and tells me how smart they are because they bought something and it went up. If you do not have a good reason for the why, then you are just lucky.[/QUOTE]Encore Encore Encore.

April 10,2025.
The Optimum Tariff: The Idea Behind Trump's Trade Strategy.
For decades, American elites have spoken of free trade as though it were a moral commandment engraved in stone—unquestionable, sacred, eternal. Tariffs, they say, are relics of the past. Economic heresy. An automatic road to higher prices, shrinking output, and worldwide retaliation.
What they don't tell you—what most of them don't know—is that some of the most brilliant economists in history developed a theory proving exactly the opposite: under the right conditions, tariffs can make a country richer.
This idea goes by the name optimum tariff theory, and it has been around since long before modern economists started pretending free trade was a universal good. Long before Donald Trump ever uttered the word "tariff," British and classical economists were working out exactly how, when, and why a powerful country could tilt global trade in its favor.
President Donald Trump arrives to speak during a "Make America Wealthy Again" trade announcement event in the Rose Garden at the White House on April 2, 2025. (Andrew Harnik / Getty Images).
And if that sounds familiar, it should. Because Trump's trade policy—especially his 10 percent baseline tariff on all imports—is a near-perfect real-world application of this theory.
But before we get there, it's worth pausing to understand what the theory actually says.
The core insight is this: when a country is big enough, it can influence world prices. The United States is not a small, open economy. We are the world's largest buyer. When we buy less of something, the world notices. Prices move.
Now imagine we put a tariff on imports. That's just a tax at the border. It raises the domestic price of a foreign good. As a result, we buy less of it. But if we're a major share of global demand for that product—steel, semiconductors, autos, solar panels, whatever—the global price starts to fall. The country selling it can't easily find other buyers. Supply outstrips demand. So, prices drop.
In this case, the tariff doesn't just make the product more expensive at home. It pushes down its world price, so we end up paying less for it than we would without the tariff. We give up some volume of trade, yes—but what we do trade, we trade on better terms. This is what economists call a terms-of-trade gain.
Here's where the theory gets its name. If you raise tariffs too high, you lose too much volume and the gains vanish. If you don't raise them at all, you leave bargaining power on the table. But there's a "just right" rate—a point at which the terms-of-trade improvement outweighs the lost trade volume. That's the optimum tariff.
Think of it like this: if your local supermarket doubled its prices tomorrow, you'the probably shop somewhere else. But if there's only one store in town, and it raises prices by just a bit, most people will stay and pay. That store has market power. So do we.
Of course, there's a catch. If every country did this—if every nation tried to raise tariffs to extract better deals—then global trade might shrink. Worse, other countries might retaliate with tariffs of their own. That was the worry of many of the classical economists who developed this theory. And for decades, it became the reason to ignore it. Free trade was treated not just as policy, but as virtue.
But the theory never disappeared.
The Forgotten History of Strategic Tariffs.
In the mid-19th century, a British economist named Robert Torrens showed how tariffs could improve a country's trading position by shifting the balance of demand between nations. John Stuart Mill followed with a more rigorous treatment, introducing the idea that how much a country gains from a tariff depends on the elasticity of its trading partner's supply—how easily they can sell elsewhere.
Later in the century, Alfred Marshall and Henry Sidgwick built graphical models showing how countries could adjust trade volumes to improve their outcomes. Francis Edgeworth introduced the idea of trade indifference curves—economic maps of national welfare—and demonstrated precisely where the maximum gain from tariffs could be found. The theory grew more precise, more elegant, and harder to ignore.
Then in 1906, see. F. Bickerdike delivered the mathematical knockout. He proved, with equations, that a modest tariff imposed by a country with market power—one that imported goods whose world supply was not perfectly elastic—could raise national income. He even derived the formula still cited today by economists who admit, if only in footnotes, that yes, tariffs can work.
By the time Nicholas Kaldor published his now-famous 1940 essay, "A Note on Tariffs and the Terms of Trade," the heavy lifting had already been done. But Kaldor did something essential: he clarified and consolidated the theory into a framework that could be taught, diagrammed, and easily replicated. He took the complex interplay of reciprocal demand and indifference curves and presented it in a clean, two-country, two-good model. In Kaldor's version, tariffs shift a country's offer curve outward—meaning they demand more favorable terms for the same level of trade—and the point of tangency with their trading partner's offer curve moves to a higher indifference curve, representing a welfare gain.
Kaldor walked the reader through each step of the logic: if a country is large enough to affect world prices, then a tariff reduces the quantity imported, drives down the global price of that good, and allows the country to re-import it at a discount. The result? The country keeps more value from each trade—a net improvement in national welfare.
He was careful. He cautioned against large tariffs. He assumed no retaliation. He even prefaced his argument by reaffirming his own general support for free trade. But the effect of the paper was clear: even among free traders, the logic of the optimum tariff was now undeniable.
Economists later enshrined Kaldor's diagram in textbooks, but often stripped it of context. They presented it as a curiosity, a theoretical aside, rather than what it truly was: a powerful rebuttal to the idea that free trade is always the best policy.
So, why was it buried? Because it undermined the happy talk of mutual gain. Because it suggested that trade was not win-win, but often win-lose. Because it proved that powerful nations could get richer by shifting the burden to weaker ones.
Trump didn't cite these economists. He didn't need to. His instinct told him what they proved in theory: America has leverage. We are the buyer everyone wants. And when we put a modest price on access to our market, we get better deals in return. That's the logic behind the 10 percent baseline tariff. That's the logic behind reciprocal tariffs. And that's the logic we'll explore in Part Two of this discussion in tomorrow's Breitbart Business Digest, where we will show how Trump's tariffs bring optimum tariff theory to life.
The textbooks forgot. But Trump remembered.

Real Estate is overpriced because people use it to store money and therefore people have to pay both the utility value of the property to use it and a monetary value. Has the value of real estate gone up, or the value of the USD gone down?

Let me just end with the statement that historically when a country falls it is the bond holders who get wiped out. Read a [I]random walk down wall street[/I]. The author makes that point that sticks in my mind still today when I read it as a young man. You can still name the companies that powered World War II war machine today. But two of those countries governments fell. Bond holders lost everything. But those companies lived on. Those companies still thrive today.
Let me finish up with gold. I never owned gold until two years ago. I was fascinated at how it was integrated into Thai Culture. Thai people use gold for many things, but one of the big things is a store of value. Check the price of Gold two years ago. Check it today. Yep, I got lucky. I got lucky because I wanted to store value in hard money. Check the price of Bitcoin from years ago. Check out the price of Bitcoin today. Yep, I got lucky because I want to store value in hard money. I guess it pays to be lucky, over and over and over again. [B]ROTFLMAO![/B].
Lastly, who among us actually understand what it means to trade? To be a trader? [B]I do[/B]. So let me ask this, if you buy one item for 1 (one) USD and it goes up to 2 (two) USD. You sell half the item and you get your original 1 USD back. But you still own 50% of your original purchase. It then continues to go up. What is your return on investment? It is infinite. Because now you are playing with house money. Yes, I got lucky because I learned risk management in Las Vegas Casinos when I used to put my rent money on the blackjack table and walk away with my rent plus all the money needed to pay for my weekend in Las Vegas. Those were some insane times. You could just show up for you flight 20 minutes before. Pay cash. Have no luggage and no one gave a fuck!
[B]ROTFLMAO![/B]
So, [B]I do not care about a individual who chooses to invest differently than I do[/B]. They can call me lucky if that is what they need to do in order to continue to feel superior. Far be it from them to understand that there are many different ways to turn a profit in the markets. Years of working my ass of has made me lucky. No one has to believe me. But that luck has paid me quite well and is a personal fact for me. Exactly where do people think I got my flow and my stack that allows me to be an [B]International Trick[/B]?
