And so it begins, continued
Day 2:
Has the price of eggs and gas gone down?
I never got the memo from Trump demanding that I reduce the cost of rent for my tenants. So I won't.
Has he spoken the Magic Trump Words that put an end to wars in "24 hours" or "48 hours" but that he apparently forgot to utter for the entire 1,460 full days and nights of his previous term for the USA combat War in Afghanistan?
What's the delay all about? Is he waiting "two weeks" to get that first Infrastructure Week done with his Repub Majority House and Senate first?
No problem. At least we know his constant blather about imposing higher Trump Tariff Taxes on the American Consumer and chase out all the low-cost labor for essential services and product delivery has jacked up the cost of shipments, products and housing already. And even before Day One!

[QUOTE][b]Rates on a 30-year fixed mortgage rose above 7%[/b] in the week ended Jan. 16, according to Freddie Mac data.
[B]Mortgage rates were below 3% as recently as late 2021.
They are unlikely to fall below 6% until 2026, economists said. Thats partly due to investor worries tied to President Donald Trumps policy agenda, they said.
..........
Why have mortgage rates increased?[/b]
The first thing to know: Mortgage rates are tied more closely to the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds than to the Feds benchmark interest rate, said Baker, the founder of Claris Financial Advisors.
Those Treasury yields were about 4.6% as of Tuesday, up from about 3.6% in September.
Investors who buy and sell Treasury bonds influence those yields. [B]They appear to have risen in recent months as investors have gotten worried about the inflationary impact of President Donald Trumps proposed policies, experts said.[/b] [/QUOTE]

America's Hitler, releases his MAGA dogs [i][b]aka. "MAGA Brownshirts"[/b][/i], to do his biding and reek havoc on NEVER TRUMPERS and working American's who dare NOT believe, Trump will lower the price of bacon and eggs.
So naturally, it goes without saying...for all you "MAGA Brownshirts", before doing unspeakable police bashing or flagpole maiming, remember don't leave home without your [i]"get outta jail free"[/i] MAGA cap and t-shirt.
Maybe you should grow up already and get a clue lolol

I mean your answer brilliantly displays the twisted and deeply corrupt nature of Trump supporters, but admitting that Trump had been bought by a Chinese entrepreneur takes guts.

Again, I wish the rest of Trumpists hadn't been so hypocritical. You believe what you believe, right? Why lie about it?

Are you saying you are weening off of Amazon LOL or selling your Tesla, don't you know all these scumbag parasites do what's best for them, all the time.
Zuck Musk Bozo Cook etc al.
Musk supported Scumbag Joe in 2020.
Sold out media? 99% of the media is corporate owned.
That's why I like Breitbart the owner is very far right.
Yet he supports Centrist MAGA policies.

Oh. Now we get it. DOGE is just another Obama Admin Creation rebranding.
LOL. Remember all those "Trump" buildings that Trump never designed, never built, never owned, never had anything to do with other than selling his name to put on a sign to simply rebrand something someone else did all the work to create?
And remember Trump doing the same thing with the terrific economic trajectories he inherited from Obama-Biden, falsely claiming his Knowing Nothing and Doing Nothing in that first year of his so-called presidency and coasting along with what he inherited while a year or so later his huge tax cuts for corporations helped them to buy back their own stocks and nothing else at a cost of $Trillions to the deficit had something to do with those first ok pre-Trump's Pandemic years? Yeah, that was simply Trump rebranding the Obama-Biden economy he inherited as "The Greatest Econony In History that I produced".
I mean, those 3 pre Trump's Pandemic years were ok except for when his failed China Trade War and Trump Tariffs drove our manufacturing and agriculture industries into Recessions so deep he had to issue emergency welfare checks just to keep them afloat, adding more to the deficit, and we had the first of Trump's two first-term Bear Market Declines in the broad USA Stock Market in 2018, of course. So, hardly "the Greatest" of any time in recent or long term history.
And remember how Trump simply rebranded the 10 years prior Obama Admin creation of the Rapid Vaccine Developement Program as the silly renamed "Operation Warp Speed" in order to take credit for getting the critical, millions of life-saving vaccines for his own Trump's Pandemic virus out as rapidly as possible even though he has pretty much disavowed any connection to those vaccines since his MAGAloons always boo him for mentioning it.
And be prepared for Trump to again and again and again take unearned and undeserved credit for every "Envy of the World" economic achievement, national security and foreign policy success created solely by the blood and sweat of Biden-Harris and the Dems going forward. That which he can't touch, turn to shit and kill as is his lifelong pattern, that is.
Yeah, that is Trump simply Knowing Nothing, Doing Nothing but rebranding the work, effort and creation of someone else.
So it should come as no surprise that even those big DOGE plans Trump and Der Fuhrer, I mean, President Musk have touted is, guess what, simply a rebranding of the efficiency monitoring and reviewing program created by the Obama Administration:
[B]DOGE has officially arrived, but it looks pretty different from what was promised.[/B]

[QUOTE]The executive order also[b] didn't create a new department, but rather renamed another. DOGE will replace the Obama-era US Digital Service (USDS), a unit that primarily works on improving government websites and tech.[/b] The USDS's unit had grown to more than 200 people, while Musk's new team is reported to consist of 20 staff.[/QUOTE]I'm guessing the 180 American Working Men and Women he laid off did not cost the American taxpayers nearly as much as, say, subsidizing electric vehicle manufacturing.
Uh. They were not babies.

Did anybody watch Trump's embarrassing blathering at the WEF?
Good god. The Globalist panel at the WEF tried to come across as an easier roll-over for Trump than the White House Press Corp. And that is saying a lot.
I say they tried to come across that way because they knew that was the best approach to getting him to relax and reveal his true totally uninformed, incomperent, ignorant and unfit self. LOL.
He CLEARLY did not have the slightest clue how to respond to their questions, probably not even a clue what the TOPIC of the questions were, simply blathered on and on with his usual nonsensical "weave" into one incoherent, non responsive word salad after another.
Seriously. Those guys were obviously goofing on him, goading him along, humoring him, just to demonstrate to themselves and every other Global Industry Leader and World Leader what a ridiculous chump they will all be lucky to crush in any and every negotiation for the next four years.
What happened to the Stock Market Watchers?
Using mostly whole numbers for simplicity, here are some key date USA Stock Market closing numbers for the S&P 500 Index:
-Election Day 2016 = 2163.
-Inauguration Day 2017 = 2263.
-Election Day 2020 = 3369.
-Inauguration Day 2021 = 3852.
-Election Day 2024 = 5783.
-Inauguration Day 2025 = 5996.
Therefore, based on those closing date numbers we can calculate that:
Trump's 2016 post-election win relief rally gain was 9%.
Biden's 2020 post-election win relief rally gain was 14%.
Trump's 2024 post-election win relief rally gain was just under 4%. And to be more precise it was 3. 7%.
Trump's 2017 Inauguration Day-to-Last Day in Office gain was 70%, but a sizable percentage of that was Biden's 14% 2020 post-election win relief rally gain.
Biden's 2020 Inauguration Day-to-Last Day in Office gain was 55%, and that result was obviously unfairly restricted by that tepid-to-insignificant piddling 3. 7% 2024 Trump post-election win relief rally "gain. ".
Interestingly, if you calculate the entire possible Trump-influenced time period from his Election Day 2016 to his Last Day in Office in 2021 vs the entire possible Biden-influenced time period from his Election Day 2020 to his Last Day in Office in 2025, they both come in at 78%!
However, we should remember that Trump got there after inheriting a terrific set of positive economic trajectories from Obama-Biden and along the way shook out and likely bankrupted many stock market investors at the dreadful bottom of each of his TWO Bear Market Declines in the broad USA Stock Market during his 4 year term, one in 2018 and another even deeper one in 2020, along with a Recession and him Wiping Out Millions Upon Millions of Jobs.
Meanwhile, Biden got there after inheriting the usual horrific economic conditions handed to incoming Dems by outgoing Repubs over the past 100 years, averted even the slightest recession, presided over NO Bear Market Crashes in his 4 years in office and produced more jobs than all three previous Repub presidents combined, Trump included, and a sizable percentage of the fourth previous Repub so-called president.
Big difference.
