I been telling yall to invest in Asian stocks and gold.

China is trying to make itself independent from america. If they complete their belt and road project and continue investing in clean energy, they will be saving trillions on energy costs.

What does that mean for how they can invest? What does that mean for the price of petroleum? They can spend billions to make up for whatever they lose in not trading with america. If they keep spreading that green technology to Africa and Latin america, that means those countries save money on energy costs too. They can reinvest their savings into paying off debts and building more infrastructure.

China plans based on years. America now plans based on financial quarters. If we are going to win, we need unity as a country and the economy needs to be controlled by workers and the government NOT by CEOs and bankers.
They did it with soybeans. If they do it with oil that's gonna be crazy, They've been buying up Russian Oil and gas for a minute.

Assuming the presidency was won fairly and ppl actually voted this clown in office, the American people that elected this man are the stupidest most retarded and ignorant people on planet earth.

I genuinely wish them the worst :wow:
China said a few months ago

It’s called market manipulation. Trump knows what he’s doing. I’m not saying it’s right. However folks have an opportunity to capitalize on the same exact thing he is doing.


Eventually that will cause others to get penalized. Politicians got the bread and power to manipulate these markets.

how when he's the one who determines when he's going to tweet out some threats? the market is reacting to his threats, so no one can get ahead of it like he can without prior knowledge.

Colombia might do the same with it's huge coal deposits China just signed them up for the Belt and road system.
Uncle Sam might do couple regime change with anyone south who doesn't play ball

The Monroe Doctrine is a United States foreign policy framework addressing America’s security and commercial interests in the Western Hemisphere, first articulated by President James Monroe in his seventh annual message to Congress on December 2, 1823. It declared that the New World and the Old World were to remain distinct spheres of influence, opposing European colonialism and intervention in the Americas. The doctrine stated that the American continents were henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers , and any attempt by European powers to oppress or control nations in the Western Hemisphere would be viewed as a hostile act against the United States. In return, the United States pledged not to interfere in the political affairs of Europe or its existing colonies.

The doctrine emerged from concerns that European powers, particularly Spain, France, and Russia, might reassert colonial control over newly independent Latin American states or expand their influence into regions like the Oregon Territory. Although the British Foreign Minister George Canning proposed a joint declaration with the United States to deter European intervention, Secretary of State John Quincy Adams opposed this, fearing it could limit future American expansion and that Britain had imperial motives of its own. As a result, the United States issued a unilateral declaration.

Initially, the doctrine was not widely noted by European powers and lacked the military strength to enforce it. However, it became a cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy over time, especially as American power grew. The doctrine's interpretation evolved significantly, most notably with the 1904 Roosevelt Corollary, which justified unilateral U.S. intervention in Latin America to stabilize the region and prevent European intervention, effectively transforming the doctrine into a tool for American imperialism.

Its crazy how this man killed the CHIPS act and renewable energy projects then started this trade war tough talk shyt with nothing lined up. Just piling on more and more debt and killing the value of the dollar.
I believe the chips and renewables stuff were just tax write offs, I don’t think people were trying to seriously build shyt cause the infrastructure would’ve been built years ago

The chips act was giving money to intel to build facilities and I believe they canceled a couple of spots

They gave money to tsmc but they don’t fukk with American workers, they not trying to share any knowledge

They dragged they feet on everything renewable, who cares about tax credits for evs when nobody is trying to build the infrastructure for ev’s, America doesn’t even really have a manufacturing base for renewables compared to china so how will solar farms and wind farms be built up

And the funny part about it is the chips act and the new green deal was some watered down shyt once it actually passed in the first place, KILLED BY SO CALLED DEMOCRATS

I say all that to say these issues were always bigger than trump, trump not going to be phony about caring about these issues compared to others

Most definitely.

You’re right. That’s why you play the stock market accordingly which comes with experience. Having cash on hand in a scenario like this knowing Trump can flip the switch of the market sentiment with a tweet is a way of capitalizing on this type of opportunity. Especially in these market conditions where we are at an all time high.

People was building shyt, it just takes years to build shyt & when it came to building factories the ceos wants to see who would win in 2024 and if Trump did win would he cancel the plan.

Trump is a fukking idiot. He started a trade war that would have made sense if the Chip program was still getting federal backing. There are no factories that need protectionism from tariffs.

I think a LOT of people were banking on the developing world continuing to buy oil. The cost of petroleum also affects the cost of shipping and the cost of manufacturing. If the demand for it goes down, its going to fukk up quite a few portfolios. That Russian oil and gas has been helping with their manufacturing segments but they can also buy the raw material, refine it and then sell it to others for cheap.

They're cornering the whole market on renewable energy, electric vehicles, smart phones etc. All for cheaper because they also have the manpower and tech to meet the demand in developing countries. While we have idiots sitting on their asses only thinking about the next three months, these motherfukkers are making SERIOUS paper by investing in projects within their neighborhood.

If we don't get these dumbasses out of office and take the wheel back from them this century will go down as the century where china got its groove back.

One simple thing we could've done that would've massively improved life for Americans was investing in thorium based nuclear reactors. Thorium is safer than uranium, plentiful, and the design of a thorium reactor makes it almost impossible to have a meltdown and even if something did go wrong the damage wouldn't be as bad.

Its only NOW that INDIVIDUAL big tech firms are looking into building mini thorium reactors for their data centers. This technology was invented BY US in the 1960s and china is using OUR shyt to beat us. If our politicians had any dignity this shyt would be infuriating to them.

The Truth
He’s an idiot but there is some good news…


This shutdown is starting to make EVERYONE notice… it’s getting harder to lie for him and act oblivious now. His defenders are doing the “Homer in the bushes” gif in real life.

And then, the shytshow in both Portland and Chicago, where the states own military is standing down so he has to send in clowns from fat ass Texas.

And there’s word surrounding the Epstein files too… stalling out that one Dem from swearing in so she can’t vote to release the files… shyt is becoming completely obvious even to idiots
