04/03/25, Trumps Big Call, the fascination of watching a narcissist at work.

The new look to the US Economy, run by a narcissist, Tariffs, what a joke.

Not sure now many people told Trump that this was a bad idea, (it was a lot of people on both sides of the isle), and of course he did not choose to listen. His narcissist approach to the current presidency just took yet another turn for the worst. The market may recover sure, but try to count the number of times the market dropped 1,300 point in less than 5 minutes. I can’t remember the last time that happened. Per the Great all knowing Trump, “it will take longer than I thought”, yep it sure will. Maybe forever. Not to mention:

1. The loss of focus on disease control by cutting back funding for future cancer research, and current disease studies at the CDC.
2. Total loss of respect for the Veterans, by staffing cuts across the Veterans administration, and throughout the various Veterans hospitals.
3. Continuing to focus on cutting down the Social Security Administration, making it harder for the US citizens that really need such help, even harder to get.
4. Showing a TOTAL disregard for the EPA, by cutting them to the bone and removing many of the current EPA standards for pollution in the US.
5. Renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of American, just so unopposed drilling can continue in the Gulf.
6. Continuing to support the worst dictatorship in the World, Putin and Russia. (Really have to wonder what Putin has on Trump).
7. Creating animosity between Canada and the US, for the first time in over 200 years. Canada, one of our last allies is no longer.
8. Cutting staffing for the National Parks, which will allow them to become mismanaged and have their precious natural resources compromised forever.
9. Placing people with no possible credentials in cabinet and staffing positions. Health and Human Services, Education, Military, just a few examples.
10. Setting a record for executive orders, over 65 in 2 months i.e. acting like a king.
11. Creating a new emigration policy that is putting people in prison that should not be there.
12. Took away incentives for both Solar and Wind alternatives, pushing the US back deeper into oil.
13. The first president who called himself a KING! Wake up Republicans. Please.

This list could be endless. But today’s actions just again shows that Trump has no concerns about his actions. He proved this by getting away with attempting to overturn the constitution on January 6. The fact that he is forcing huge tariffs on the US population again shows he has no clue how to run a country. He seems to believe you can stop a huge super tanker in 5 feet instead of the 5 miles or so it takes. You can’t turn a country around in 2 months.

The most embarrassing issue about the entire Tariff situation is that Congress is the actual body that is supposed to enact tariffs. Trump is just using some bogus emergency powers provision to create them, and Congress could quickly overturn them, instead they (Republican members) continue to keep their heads in the sand and allow Trump to rule as if he was a king. The longer this goes on, the harder it will be in the future to stop it. It will turn to the other side eventually, it always does and the current President has set standards in place that all future presidents can use, be them Democrats or Republicans.

Also remember, Trump doesn’t care about your personal loss in the market today. He has plenty of money now and if something happens and he gets convicted again, he will just play the same game as before, declare bankruptcy for the 8 or 9th time.
