Trump's been in office a whole 18 days. But I get it... they have only saved $32 Billion so far. USAID personnel reductions alone will save $250+ Billion. It's a great start. Once we get rid of the Dept of"Won" LOL.
Trump got...what Canada and Mexico were already doing while giving them the motivation to start looking around to divest so this can't happen again next week or the next or the next.
Are US farmers winning bigly? 2B of USAID food monies possibly evaporating, Climate monies evaporating, potential for further losses to exports, a push to move from HFCS....Domestic charity programs shuttered by DOGE while he pushes for some nonsensical "anti-Christian Bias czar".
Gas is up. Food is up. Job reports are down. Stocks down. When's the winning start?
Oh, and we don't use the Panama Canal for free.
Penny pintcherI will be the guy that complains.
1. I love the penny. I don’t want it gone. It makes me happy to find one “face up” in a parking lot, and chuckling at the sucker who picks up the one that I pass by “tails up.”
2. $179 mill is about 50 cents per American. Get rid of the penny and I guarantee it costs me more than 50 cents over the course of a year. Merchants aren’t going to round DOWN for my benefit.
No? What'd China do re:soybeans?Tell me you don't understand the global economy without telling me you don't understand the global economy.

You think Canada *needs* US liquor?
They'll look to reduce dependency and will take a hard look at what to do next time.
Right now Canada and Mexico would take a massive hit, even recession, but we wouldn't come out of this as winners. No one wins in a tariff trade war. And it's not how you "negotiate" with allies.
Anyway, Canada put out a pretty strong response that would have taken us down a peg or two, and you obviously saw the markets' reactions to this nonsense. We don't come out "winners" if Trump doesn't back down from his nonsensical "Uh, its Fentynyl, uh it's deficit, uh they're treating us bad, uh who wrote this trade agreement (Trump did, btw)" BS.
Canada and Mexico simply had to give the Baby in Chief his iPad to shut him up and he backed down from dragging our economy.
Gonna be hard enough for farmers and workers. They've now maybe been spared from certain ruin.
USAID reductions will crush farmers. It's crushing domestic aid groups. It will destabilize areas around the world. You say "saved" like these programs aren't employing Americans and pay American industry.Trump's been in office a whole 18 days. But I get it... they have only saved $32 Billion so far. USAID personnel reductions alone will save $250+ Billion. It's a great start. Once we get rid of the Dept ofEducationIndoctrination we will be well on our way to being back on top.
You will always be welcome to abandon the sinking ship you are on and join the winning team. We want you here.
Oh, and as to the rest of your daily conniption, I have already made a **** ton of money in the market this year so far, and the latest jobs report for January was up so you really need to watch something other than CNN for your 'news'.

Spare me the DOE BS, man. No one is indoctrinating.
"Winning team". Nah. I don't base my entire personality around a political party or a demagogue. I don't feel the urge to carry water for every stupid idea my "team" has as if they're all soooo much smarter than I am that it must be what we need!
I made almost 50% under Biden and his "terrible" economy. All I see today is red, red, red, red. Trump's tariffs would have jacked things up. Oh, seems gas is up, too. And eggs? Woah.
And the Jan jobs report? The one that would have been 2/3 Biden? That jobs report? Thanks Biden!

I stopped when you said destabilize areas around the world. We should not be paying foreign aid to anyone until we get our own country under control.USAID reductions will crush farmers.

Well that's a point of debate. Fine if you think that, but it will happen. I, personally, am a proponent of using economics to keep BRICS at bay.
