Abu Dhabi purchased $2 billion of Trump’s crypto-coins This was announced by Zack Witkoff co-founder of Trump’s World Liberty Financial that trades crypto-coins. On the same day Bloomberg announced easing of Nvidia AI chip curbs for the UAE.

Anyone else need a US policy changed? Just buy Trump crypto-coins.

2 days ago, trump said he would not budge on 145% tariffs for China. Now he wants 80% tariffs for China because the Chinese gave him the silent treatment. Xi is winning even if the Chinese workers are out of jobs. By the time the dust settle, I predict the tariffs for China is less than 10%.

As long as youre rooting for failure we would expect any less of you..aww youre special.Or are you saying something good about Trump by accident?If it’s something Trump didn’t do that he said he was going to that helps America even more,what’s the problem?Seem very insightful and wise from a man who’s one of the wealthiest men on the plane.Why fight it?An urge you can’t quell?

12
14

Well Paul, if you know more about international trade deal negotiations than Trump and the number he will wind up at vs the number he intends to wind up at, I’ll be very impressed.
*
You left out one important detail though….. if tariffs for China are less than 10% how much will tariffs for the USA be? Trump said he wants “parity”…… if he manages that we win.

Doesn’t Vatican City have a border wall with Italy and has a mercenary army to protect their borders?

Doesn’t Vatican City have an extremely controlled immigration policy? I believe unauthorized immigration is not tolerated at all.

Residency and citizenship is reserved for Church officials, Government employees and their families.

But sure, maybe the Pope will lecture the POTUS and VPOTUS on having a border wall and enforcement of immigration policies.

Geez Paul…. this Pope disapproves of homosexuality & sex perversion being taught in schools “The promotion of gender ideology is confusing, because it seeks to create genders that don’t exist” and he also decried “sympathy for beliefs and practices that are at odds with the gospel,”
He is a strong Pro Life Pope! (sorry abortion lovers).
About the only things the new Popester has to offer lefties is that he is against the death penalty and he is anti gun rights.
Yes he is also a climate change chump.

Trump dropped deficit spending by %92 compared to Biden.Now leftists,tell us how this doesnt matter at all and is actually bad,or a lie..kay?Im waiting…..

19
12

Showing the deficit was completely unnecessary and attributed to government grifting. That’s why they are so mad. No more free money for manipulating the system. boo hoo. Then they cry it’s fascism. Fools

21
13

What are you talking about? Trump and President Musk have been manipulating the system for months now, generating plenty of tax payer “free money”. Musk magically finds no #wastefraudandabuse in the billions in contracts he has, and awards himself more. Trump is running a memecoin grift in which foreign riven means and individuals have direct financial access to him; I.e. bribes. Not to mention Trump’s latest fav tactic: giving Wall Street a heads up when he’s about to pump the market so the right folks can buy/sell. Sounds pretty manipulate-ey to me. You don’t have to be so loud about your gullibility, Sam.

10

Musk awards himself contracts? That’s so funny, if your cult didn’t actually believe it. It’s hard to take claims of democracy and fascism seriously from clowns who don’t understand the basics of government, but please carry on

PS-thank you for following instructions.

It is one thing to advocate for immigrants and another to advocate for criminals. Yes, illegals immigrants are criminals as they violated the law when they snuck into our country.

You can advocate for a criminal to be treated ‘ok’ but you cannot advocate for rewarding them with healthcare, education, the privilege of living in the country when they have violated the basic laws of this country. Cause if we do, where do we stop? Where do we draw the line of what criminal behavior is acceptable and which is not acceptable?

31

Our current potus is a convicted criminal.

13

Trump was convicted by a corrupt activist judge in a kangaroo court so the conviction is bogus, a new low for the American legal system.
The conviction will be thrown out eventually, something to look forward to.

Your feelings regarding Trump’s conviction are so noted. Doesn’t change the fact that the sitting potus is a convicted felon.

@Greg
There were no crimes and no victims. You even changed your wording from criminal to felon.

24

Sovereign citizen arguments have no legal standing in any court. The people of NY were the victims, as was the lending institution. He was convicted of a felony. So he’s a convicted criminal. Not sure what wording you think changes anything.

21

@Greg
Just stop it. There were no victims, especially the lending institutions, who loved loaning money to a “WHALE” such as Trump. He’s a convicted felon who didn’t commit a crime. And it’s only natural that you’d be unsure about wording……..all you ever do is lie.

Not to mention Judge Marchan also violated the Judicial Conduct Rules on prohibited political activity by making donations to the Democratic group Act Blue that included money earmarked for Biden for President and to Progressive Turnout Project and Stop Republicans.

I think Trump summed things up correctly when he said “the real verdict” would be when Americans go to the polls on November 5.
He was right…again!

23

And he still beat the clowns that ran on the Democrat ticket!
I believe a big part of that was because American citizens were disgusted with the legal shenanigans at that Animal House style trial and all the undocumented, unvaccinated, unknown, illegal invaders the Biden/Harris administration allowed to invade the USA.
Let’s face it… the left went too far, showed their true colors and committed political suicide by flip flopping their candidates after the people had already voted in the primary. “Giggles” for President? Really?

You can tell that %99 of they stuff they say in comments even they couldnt actually believe,its just the same as 2016-2020.Oppose publicly anything Trump does,to make sure he gets elected again.Any and all slander against the president only helps his party,and helps dems vent like children.Ive never seen the right happier and the left more miserable,and it’s only going to intensify on both sides.

All laws are equal, IE all felonies the same,all misdemeanors the same.There are no”little” laws.In most cases,3 repeated misdemeanors constitute a felony.

I wonder if you would cheer for China if you lived there. What’s communism like? Watch as a Chinese woman is threatened by government officials for filming a fire. Why? Because the CCP needs to protect its image as a well-run state.

You should already know it feels… we’ve been on the losing end of trade with China for years.

LOCAL POLITICS QUESTONS

Did you know that the last time the Concord City Council put an increase of sales tax on the ballot that the city applied to be allowed to ask voters for an increase in sales tax that exceeds the increase amount allowed by state law?

Did you know that, because Concord voters passed an increase to sales tax that was above the total increase allowed by state law as granted by special permission, Concord City Council can now not ask to increase the sales tax to cover upcoming anticipated budget shortfalls?

Did you know that Concord City Staff and Council plan to increase and/or create other taxes and city fees, including some that would be added to property tax bills, because they now do not have the option of asking voters to increase sales tax after applying for and getting an increase last time that was above the amount regulated by state law?

Did you watch the last Concord City Council meeting where the Council voted for increases to fees (most seemed reasonable but some were a bit high) and several members of the Council, led by Vice Mayor Nakamura, advised city staff they didn’t think the fees had been raised enough?

Did you know that Concord City Council will be considering increasing the monthly stipend allotted for themselves this upcoming Tuesday, May 13th?

Seems the local politicians who are ideologues (who else runs for office these days?) think money grows on trees. Belt tightening is in order not frivolous spending. 😲

Obviously,this is something they don’t want the world to know about,when they find that the gold standard has no gold to back it,What do you think will happen next.This truth has to be hidden at all costs and the subject has been dropped.This,and the truth about UFO’s and the moon landings,are subjects that a new POTUS has to agree to keep secret,or it could end the world as we know it.Fort Knox will be avoided like the plague.For the survival of a fake country that has been fake for over 50 years.

I think it’s more likely that Trump and Musk shook hands and agreed to split up the gold in Fort Knox between themselves.

I’m glad there’s no chance of a recession now.The country is booming.Esp in Calif,whoever keeps saying enjoy your recsession.you must not be in Calif.You cant go to a store here here without having trouble finding a parking spaces,and not standing in a long line inside the store.That’s the opposite of a recession.

LOL! I see that happening at the nearby store if I don’t run up early enough for their one days special sales. Those shelves with the specials stuff can get cleared out fast. 😄

Typical, Concord that has 200-300 k people and the signs “welcoming “you to Concord say the population has only gone up by 12000 people since 1998 when it said “103000”.which is pure fantasy and they know well it is.At least 10000 per year in reality.

It’s not even worth my time anymore to argue with the handful of low information blue hair cartoon characters on this board. I seriously need a challenge and you guys and your outright silly made up tds drama ain’t cutting it. I mean bring some honest valid real issues to debate and I’m in but at this point there’s roughly 3-4 desperate clowns that come here to troll with blue anon conspiracy theories and wise cracks about trump skin color on msnbc and cnn. We all have access to the same information, it’s very simple to understand certain networks apply an orange filter to Trump just to give the bottom feeders something to yammer about. I mean you guy should have some self respect and actually try to defend your positions. Instead it’s like 3rd grade nonsensical drama. Meanwhile, the deficit got slashed, government waste is down, the boarder is closed to illegals and potential terrorists, tariffs are coming into the country, men can’t whip it out in front of your daughters and corporations are building factories and infrastructure that will feed generations of Americans. When you win an election, we do it your way but until then quit your crying. We’re driving this ship now. If your guy did a better job before you would have won again. 3.75 more years you have left at minimum. If you dorks don’t straighten up and figure out how to have honest serious debates on topics including all the variables you want to ignore to push your drama, it’s a wrap. JD Vance, Stephen Miller, Trumps kid, anyone will bury you. I understand it’s not in democrats best interests to have anything positive happen in our country but you can’t avoid it. Try and have a little integrity for once in your lives. It’s happening, quit cheerleading American downfall and start supporting your country or get the hell out.

Trump offers each undocumented immigrant $1k and a plane ticket for self deportation and the possibility of coming back to the us. This plan won’t work because 1) immigrants spend more than $1k to get into the us 2) they probably make more than $1k by getting paid off the book. For a genius, he sure come up with dumb ideas after another.

Let’s take a look at Newsoms tenure as governor of California.
1) #1 in the nations homelessness
2) #1 on welfare
3) #1 in taxes
4) #1 in gasoline prices
5) releasing 19,000 prisoners from San Quentin and turning it into a Club Fed
6) allowing crime and lawless in our cities throughout the state
7) mismanaging protection of our forests with over a million acres burnt to ashes
8) loss of over 11,000 homes and businesses to burn in the pacific palisades fire
9) Over a hundred billion dollar train to Bakersfield to no avail
10) unaccountable for well over 24billion dollars and counting
All these are facts. The one request mostly of the remaining taxpayers left in this state is before Elon Musk leaves the white house is for Doge to do one massive audit for us to unveil the grift that has taken place the last few decades under the democratic rule they have bestowed upon us..
VOTE RESPONSIBLY!!!

Trump has already crashed our economy and is promising it’s only going to get worse (he’s already insisting Q2 belongs to Biden which shows you how confident he is in his “90 deals in 90 days” crap). Our military keeps losing jet ighters off aircraft carriers somehow. Trump has threatened Putin with sanctions 4 times now, each time Putin patted Trump on his wig and bombed a civilian center. Same Putin, same invasion Trump said he’d end in a day. Ports are empty. Layoffs have started.

But a Black female congresswoman is saying words and you think she’s going to be the focus of Americans heading into the midterms. Hilarious. Enjoy your recession.

I know all you TDS sufferers are really, really, hoping that the American economy will crash and burn, but President Trump is securing the border, lowering inflation, creating American jobs, and working the art of the deal with our trading partners, all without you even having a clue about what’s going on.

I tried and almost got sick watching a 1 min segment on an alphabet news channel,and it was 2 “newcasters” almost arguing to say the worst “this will happen next” thing about Trump,all fear porn,and all of it has the childish dems on the edge of their seat from someone imagination.It’s either really bad naivete, or everyone is just a really bad actor.Nobody could actually believe this stuff unless they need to for their own mental health.Trump is not allowed any victories or wins even though he achieves them all day,everyday.This kills them.They either look like liars or are just acting,unable to deal with Januarys election loss.It truly damaged them and made them worse people,not better, no lesson learned,god forbid they ever learn.

Watch the market tomorrow. Look at crypto. Wait for the jobs report, wait for the employment data. Watch your 401k if you have one. Then watch the prices of everything. Gavin will never let our gas go down, he can’t. If he lost California to Trump it would end him. He and the California legislature will do anything and everything to keep our gas prices the highest in the nation. They hate you, they lothe you. Residents of California are the enemy of the state government. They want you to fail so they can replace you with immigrant serfs who own nothing but are happy to be here and are willing to be taxed to be tax slaves. They want our real estate however they can get it

Wrong? What’s going right? Trump capitulated on his own tariffs, China laughed the whole time. The 90 day pause is for Trump to walk back the last 30%. We gained *zero*.

Annnnd here we go:

“WASHINGTON — House Republicans unveiled the cost-saving centerpiece of President Donald Trump’s “ big, beautiful bill ” late Sunday, at least $880 billion in cuts largely to Medicaid to help cover the cost of $4.5 trillion in tax breaks.”

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/house-republicans-unveil-medicaid-cuts-democrats-warn-leave-12171684

So the deal on the table for Americans under the Trump regime:

All of our safety nets get cut in order to pay for another massive tax cut for the Jared Kushners of the world. A recession + lack of social services is absolutely the recipe for a third term for King Trump.

“I sure hope House & Senate leadership are coming up with a backup plan …. because I’m not here to rack up an additional $20 trillion in debt over 10 years or to subsidize healthy, able-bodied adults, corrupt blue states, and monopoly hospital ceos …”
-Chip Roy, 5/12/25

Roy says the bill will increase the deficit by $20 trillion!?!? That’s not what he said, liar. Did you even graduate the 5th grade? Nobody listens to you because of your dead links and your inability to comprehend simple English. Now we can all add flat out lies to your repertoire.

That doesn’t change my comment. It’s your belief that Trump a) has a plan; b) all that’s happening is according to that plan? He started at 145% tariffs. China guffawed, America’s stock market tanked and recession fears skyrocketed. Layoffs have begun as a result in some industries. So without any comment at all from China, let alone a concession, Trump lowered the tariffs to…30%. Oh…okay? Profit??

I dunno, maybe this is 18D chess or whatever but Occam’s razor suggests it’s more likely an incoherent half baked strategy implemented by a very old and out of it sitting potus who seems way more interested in his own net worth than any American’s. How many planes are you getting from Qatar? I got none. 🙁

What the heck, democrats can’t get their act together.
Used to be they’d find a deceased FELON (black) killed by
a white cop, was their HIGH HUMIDITY DREAM.
Dead felon was then raised to martyrdom in hopes of
getting the black vote and guilty white voters.
.
Media wing of the party, and a few “outspoken” liberals would
drop sound bites, media wing of the party would run with it.
An when looting, arson and rioting began alphabet networks
were mysteriously on hand to provide 24 hour coverage.
.
This go round they’ve gone with illegals, their last hope of gaining
seats and long time control of U.S. House of Representatives.
Plus they’re counting on those imported voters giving them control of
U.S. Senate.
.
Rather than torching buildings, looting and rioting in democrat
controlled cities this time the sycophant rabble and politicians
are confronting U.S. Federal agents, HSI, ICE etc.
Thus far rather some politicians who never learned to push off from
the table, have had free TV face time and subsequent TV interviews.
Probably in hopes of reelection or higher office.
.
An who do democrats cater to, the rich.
“Massachusetts governor Charlie Baker said Friday he is deploying
up to 125 National Guard members in response to Florida Governor
Ron DeSantis sending a group of just 50 illegal immigrants to
Martha’s Vineyard.”

Today inflation is at a 4 year low. The stock market is now positive for the year. What will the Demwits use to create their outrage?
Tariffs? Won’t work. See above.
Trans rights? Tried that, didn’t work.
Bring Abrego back? Still trying, but that’s not working.
Planes falling off ships? Pretty stupid this keeps happening but only idiots try to pin it on Trump.
Epstein files? Yawn.
A free plane? Looks sketchy, possibly illegal. Nobody cares.
Women’s rights? Threw that under the bus to elevate fake women.
High drug prices? Trump already stole the high ground.
Worker’s rights? Manufacturing is returning to the US. Unions rejoice and thank Trump.

About the only thing that the Dems can use to generate lefty hate is………

No idea what you’re running victory laps over. Trump’s tariff regime has been an unmitigated disaster whose effects we will still feel. Not to mention he surrendered to China on the issue. *He* kept lowing his own tariffs while they stood there and laughed at him. The whole reason the stock market went up us due to him *canceling* tariffs. So, yeah, I guess in a roundabout way his tariffs did contribute to the upturn, eh?

We cant blame Trump for losing jet fighters? Oh yes we can. It’s his admin. When you say “no one cares” about Trump’s rampant corruption, you mean *republicans* don’t care. Which is great for the there of us because no one ever again needs to listen to a Republican talking about corruption. Never ever never again.

You’re right about one thing though: Trump is winning. Due to his memecoin grifts and current bribery tour of the Middle East, for the first time in his life he’s a legit billionaire.

Right, like the Foxxcon deal in his first admin. Trump is fond of announcing th deals, but the execution after usually isn’t there. It’s almost like he does it to just to get his base to declare victory without winning anything.

@Noted security expert whenwilltheylearn: right – only smart people want the potus to fly around in a giant “place” given to him by a foreign nation with ties to Hamas. Only the smartest people believe it’s not a bribe to Trump despite him saying repeatedly it was a gift to him directly.

A proposed scaling back of Medi-Cal for illegal aliens, from the Governor himself!
After all these years, it appears Gavin Newsom has become acquainted with basic math.

And the doctors are getting 10 cents on the dollar,and injury settlements now are based on how much was actually paid on medical bills,now how much was billed originally,meaning the settlement you get is a fraction of what you deserve for getting severely injured.An ambulance ride is $4500 for a 1 mile drive btw.They wont reduce their bill 1 penny.

2

The only math that Gavin looks at is what the polls say. He sees Billions “lost”, a f’ed up budget, and a populace that is not as pro illegal as once thought. All bad news for a presidential candidate. He realizes that woke might work in CA but not so much in the rest of the country. He’s trying to whitewash his record and appear as more of a centrist in an attempt to fool the national voters.

Gavin does nothing unless it benefits Gavin.

Judge Dugan claims Judges can break the law with immunity.
*
Dugan’s lawyers claim sneaking a criminal out of the courthouse to avoid arrest was a “Judicial Act ” and that “Judges are entitled to absolute immunity for their judicial acts, without regard to the motive with which those acts are allegedly performed”.
*
What other crimes can Judges commit and get away with by calling it a “judicial act”? Where does it end? Judges are above the law? Sounds like liberal BS to me.

Here is some education for you. If you hold your bond until maturity, you get your money back plus interest. So speak to your financial advisor, plan accordingly, and don’t panic.

 And it’s terrible news for the government to issue bonds to finance its obligations.” Governments around the world have been issuing bonds to finance things since the dawn of governments. But I mostly agree that it’s terrible news, like you. Without floating bonds, the US would need a balanced budget- balancing tax receipts with expenses. Since you think using bonds to finance its obligations is terrible, and the US is Trillions over budget, WHY ARE YOU SO AGAINST REDUCING EXPENSES??? Either you truly believe that bonds are bad and that costs cutting is necessary to get things balanced, or you think that we can continue massive deficit spending without the offsetting $ received when selling the bonds.

Tax the rich? Sounds good but the reality is it won’t make a dent. If the Govt confiscates every cent of worth from our billionaires, it would fund the govt for about 2 weeks. Then what? Where does the rest of the needed funding come from? We can’t tax ourselves out of this hole, you don’t want to borrow, and you don’t want to cut spending. So what’s the answer because you can’t have all three?

JWB fiscal conservative? Don’t think so.
JWB the guy who just pans anything on the right? Smells about right.

There are many buyers of Treasuries. Foreign govts, hedge funds, individuals, pension funds, insurance cos., etc. There is no shortage of buyers for US Treasuries, including the 30 yr.

.3% is only an improvement if you are looking to buy because you now lock in the extra yield. It is bad if you already own it because the price of your bond has dropped. Also bad because it increases borrowing costs for everyone, especially businesses. Rising rates typically = slowing business activity and higher costs (lower profits) that can negatively impact the stock market.

BTW, that .3% rise in rate caused the 30 yr to drop 5%-7% of face value. That’s real money, not insignificant. The size of the bond market is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay bigger and more significant than the stock market. https://www.investopedia.com/articles/bonds/07/price_yield.asp does a pretty good job of explaining bonds in an understandable way.

But you dont dont have 2 nickels to rub together so you look for comments from those that do and parrot them.And this helps your cause….or you just can’t find one original thought?

I meant “putting down,gains that are on paper” NOT “putting down gains on paper when they arent really gains ,as you would try to say. ” IE knocking gains.Youre say %3 gain isnt a gain,as if its a loss,So even something good is actually bad you hope to convince (yourself)?One question pertaining to this:how can you stand to be so miserable?Is there even a light in the tunnel for you?

So Greg, by the author’s own admission the tariff pause may lead to an improvement in consumer sentiment…… so the whole article is really pointless.
Is that why you “Lolled?

“expectation” IF IF IF all fear porn,no reality,keep him down, keep him down, keep him down.BTW fail ,fail fail,and more fail.Will you ever make any headway here…anywhere?IStop it..you’re scaring me 🙁 Isn’t sesame street on right now to keep you occupied?

Desperate and frantic dems make idiotic and imaginary claims all day..but it never changes their position of being so deep in a hole and nobody is going to throw them a rope,and that all they have is sour grapes forever.These are simply delicious btw.This a meter as to how well Trump is doing.The more they cry and dream up fear porn that only their own people get scared of,the more everyone knows they may as well not even exist.Not 1 person here or in the fake news or ANYWHERE can even say who is in charge or who their leader is( who is in charge?).I think the dems believe being cocky and outrageous with claims,people wont notice actually notice they have zero guidance and are just flinging stuff at the wall hoping it sticks.This couldnt get more enjoyable as they can only get more miserable.I encourage more liberal high jinx.You don’t act this way unless you’re losing,and it’s funny as hell.

Even the dems fave,MSNBC posted an article today’the walls are closing in on them” the next day they will post something anti Trump.They are playing both sides on this .Dems have no loyalty to anything.

Berkshire Hathaway owns %5 of the entire treasury bond market.Very few private individuals invest in it.ONLY %10 is owned by private individuals.This is unimportant to the layman,and does not effect inflationary consumer pricing.To raise prices on goods when the stock goes down makes people shop elsewhere,which only makes the stock go down more.The value of treasury bonds doesnt hurt the consumers and most dont even pay attention or have even heard treasury bonds or researched them.Grasping at negative straws is usually a fail,as is anything from the dems.
