If you want to win a trade war, you gotta have something to trade that other side wants. And we're in a trade war with the very people who make all the things WE want.
You're not going to win that.
You're not going to win that.

Trump’s post was 7 minutes after the NYSE opened—before Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the 90-day pause on tariffs. The sequence and timing directly support insider trading and market manipulation. By informing people to buy before the policy was publicly disclosed, Trump broke the law.

There's no such thing as a self-made man or woman. No one succeeds without support.
"I did it on my own" is a sign of insecurity and entitlement. Acknowledging help is a mark of confidence and humility.
Giving credit to others doesn't undermine you. It elevates them.

Worst two-day stock market crashes in the U.S. by percentage loss:
1. 1929 (the Great Depression)
2. 1987 (Black Monday)
3. 2008 (the Great Recession)
4. YESTERDAY AND TODAY
And while this happened, the man responsible for it was golfing and dining with enemies of America.

When people don't stand up to bad leadership, it's rarely because they don't care. It's often that they feel powerless.
Learned helplessness is the pattern of giving up when we learn that events in our lives are beyond our control.
The answer isn't to accept defeat. It's to find sources of power.

Do people understand that these morons could have gotten service members killed by sharing all this info in a text group?
They willingly and needlessly put the lives of our women and men in uniform in danger.
