Trump's the one who tanked the markets in the first place. Putting a pause on the problem he created does not make him a hero.
The value lost is lost. It will take some time for folks to recover the loss they suffered. Some haven't the time left to recover as they are now longer working as they've retired, many in their late 60's, 70's or 80's. But the Orange Jackass with an ego the size of Russia couldn't care less. Its all about him for him and to hell with everyone else.
He's a vindictive malicious POS that were it not for the corrupt scotus giving him blanket immunity (allowing him to run again) the SOB might be in a federal penitentiary where he belongs.
Ignorance, Greed, Dishonesty, and Criminality defines the Orange Jackass who now leads what WAS, until he surfaced, a Great Nation, even with its flaws. At least until now we were working on making it better and right for all Americans. No Longer will that be the case as long as the Orange Jackass remains in power.
Conservative David Frum:
This past week, the Chinese learned
1) exactly where Trump's pain points are;
2) how much to squeeze them before he flinches;
and
3) how little America's partners and allies want to help this president.
Highly useful information.
The EU offers Trump this removal of all industrial tariffs
BRUSSELS — The EU has offered Donald Trump and the United States a “zero-for-zero” tariff scheme, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Monday, seeking to avoid a tit-for-tat trade war.
“We have offered zero-for-zero tariffs for industrial goods as we have successfully done with many other trading partners. Because Europe is always ready for a good deal

Today we found out that Trump can blink. He was called on the carpet and he bailed. We found out that not only does the Emperor have no clothes, but no clue either.
Trump's actions have not just upset large scale corporate America, but small business Main Street mom & pop stores as well.
How can any business in America, large or small, plan for the future? Maybe
-FJ, Joe C, Skud, Thersites and the rest of you guys who voted for Trump or his GOP enablers can tell us.
Just the other day the president's advisors were on TV and elsewhere en masse saying the president "does not negotiate". And yet, here we are. Maybe negotiating???
Trump has no plan to make America "Great Again", nor does he have any plan to keep an already great America great.
The economy is now Trump's. 100% for better or worse. Hold on tight, it's gonna be a turbulent ride.
Liberals won’t like this, but they should.
Over a million New Yorkers have signed a petition to recall Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez from Congress after she was caught red-handed cashing her deceased grandmother's Social Security checks for nearly 15 years.
Please we are not as stupid as you are. This claim originated on a self-described satire site.
I normally don't post escapee trolls from Lisa's Latrine*, but I wanted to point out how utterly moronic this particular one is.
What "Larry" posted here, and probably at the Latrine, is a lie. I saw this on social media the other day and fact checked it. It's fake.
AOL.com fact check:
"A post shared on Facebook claims New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her family have purportedly 'overlooked' cashing her dead grandmother’s Social Security checks for more than a decade.
Verdict: False
The claim is false and originally stems from a recent article published on 'The Dunning-Kruger Times,' which is a satire site."
"Larry," in his infinite stupidity, didn't bother to check where this "hot-off-the-garbage-heap news came from nor the veracity of his claim; instead, he came running here to breathlessly tell us about the newest shiny object he found on the "intertubz!" Larry isn't too smart, as I've said. In fact, "Larry" like many in the MAGA cult, are easily fooled and conned. Don't be like "Larry."
*Lisa's Latrine was so labeled by the late Conservative blogger, "Free Thinke."
This was a 100% clusterf*@k for Trump. Spin it as he may, the facts say otherwise. Those 75 countries he has trumpeted that want to negotiate? It's really less than 20. Financial advisors around the country are lowering financial expectations and forecasts for many US businesses. And, perhaps the kicker, the US Bond market was in danger of collapse and continues on edge.
For the financially challenged, like many MAGA folks, here's what that means. China, Japan and other countries were selling US Treasury Bonds worldwide. Our 10 and 20 year bonds were being sold because other countries had decided that US Bonds, upon which our economy and ultimately the world's economy, were not safe.
Take a moment and let that sink in. President Trump, a very stable financial genius, a great businessman who has only bankrupted 6 of the companies he has started and personally run, has singlehandedly called into question internationally the safety and security of the US market and economy.
In less than 100 days in office.
We got shot with Trump's tariffs. We're seriously wounded and even a few of our vital organs were nicked by the shrapnel. Currently, we are in critical but mostly stable condition today. However we're not out of the woods yet.
And I have no confidence, based on prior performance, Trump can get us there.
Do any of you?
Finally, before our MAGA trolls show up and claim the "Deep State" stepped in and forced Trump's hand, show up with real evidence, or clam up.
All that happened was your inept president sat down and contemplated what was coming for him as the US economy cratered... News headlines around the world and the US blaming him and his incompetency for a worldwide financial meltdown, the likes of which has not been seen since the Great Depression.
Because vanity is the one emotion that moves Trump, and it wasn't looking good for him.
