Thats where the delayed 'exemption' announcement comes in.

AAPL drops 35% in 2 months, then post "its a great time to buy stocks"

Of course there was more than 1mm - but it was from the same opportunites that anyone who isnt consumed by one sided politics could easily see. There was nothing surpirsing or under the table. He literally told you what was happening

The TDS crowd is constantly being distracted by nonsense from their leaders and blame Trump for it.

It's hilarious that the TDS folks don't think it'd obvious that they're basically taking the

keeps tariffs = failed AND doesn't keep tariffs = failed argument.

They likely would with the tariffs in place but since they've been granted an exemption because some animals are "more equal than others" they won't

I’d like to think we’re all team America here. Just because the leader of team America is behaving moronically doesn’t mean we should root for team China

IF...big if you baws are as indeendently successful as you pretend, why are you tying yourself to those who arent giving any effort?

It makes no sense. Y'all scream how rich and successful you are, yet simp for a bunch of people who have no interest in working.



Conservatives are happier than Progressives based on this ideal. WE (not you) pursue self interest which benefits society.

You want to save the ne'er do wells and drag down society.

Did you interpret it as a defense? Because I interpreted it as a criticism. And a valid one too.

He was quite the con man.


All it takes is a "man of the people" who has nice hair to move people en masse.
