Take on the marker

Nothing was more obvious to me than predicting how the market was going to react to this tariff mess. A 10% drop in two days puts us squarely in bear territory but I'm afraid this isn't the end. Recession happened but most of then come when something unpredictable caused it like 9/11 or the pandemic. Even the ones that were market bubbles were not something that could have be prevented let alone avoided.
But thanks to Trump we have lost paper wealth and added to anxiety all for nothing.

Rake on the Trump stock market

The markets certainly didn't like Trump's decision to collapse the world
Economy. My 401k is down 4% today and if the futures tell me something is that this is going to be another bloodbath tomorrow.
We don't root for America's demise and don't want to see a global recession. I will say "I told you so"

Take on the Trump Dump

April has made our entire country look like fools. Trump's decision to start a trade war with the rest of the world will cause an inevitable recession which economists will study for years wondering why we would walk directly into the abyss. People have asked me today why Trump would do this. Why would he think this makes us stronger or healthier or richer. This is one of those decisions that will haunt us for years and all those millions of Trumpers can take a bow for blowing up the world

Take on Booker T

Never have I felt more pride in my state than when senator Booker did what nobody has been able to do. His marathon filibuster put him squarely in place to be the counterweight to GOP aggression. We don't know how this works out but for Booker to come out this way, to prove that Democrats actually have a voice and a message, means we finally have hope. It's time to take the country back, not specifically back to a Democratic one but to one where decorum and rules and traditions hold more sway than whatever the hell Trump is doing.
