The EU Buckled

Trump and America wins this round
More needless hand wringing by all the "experts" and MSM. Scared money is the easiest money to win. But Trump is a buffoon who doesn't know what he is doing. :roll:
It's been pretty interesting to watch Trump operate. He has NATO starting to up their payments and moving them toward paying what they have agreed to pay. Then Juncker followed Trump back from Europe to discuss the Tarriffs and the US is starting to balance that out. I guess there was a big deal made on Soybean sales to Europe.

All the Tarriffs on US goods have not been lifted, but it's a good start.

Yup. He is playing it like he should. Big Stack Bully tactics. Obama was playing it like we were the Short Stack at the table and one away from the payout cut. Refreshing to watch someone play it boldly except for that deference to the should/shouldn't crowd bit. That was a fuck up.

I guess production must be down at the social media factories.

What do they produce by the way?

Fact is, no one should be worth 600 Billion for making a site where people can whine about Trump and the Environment.

They are just completely over valued, and as someone else noted it was boosted by Gen Xers who have tired of it

Well, when I see people getting rich over ideas like the pet rock I'm mad at myself for not thinking of it first.
