• It was no surprise

    From Joseph Pereira@1:124/5016 to All on Tuesday, April 15, 2025 08:37:15
    After Trump announced on Friday that there will be exceptions for tech products and medicines, it was no surprise yesterday that stocks like Nvidia and Apple rose sharply at the opening of the stock exchange.

    The fact that those companies are worth tens of billions more or less because Trump is or is not going to impose import duties is crazy.

    Given the somewhat shady 'friends' Trump has, insider trading is not suspected... It is simply a certainty that people in the Trump administration are guilty of it.

    Incidentally, Trump announced after the stock market closed that he is going to look at the import duties on electronics again. After the stock market close, Apple lost a piece of its previous profit. Nvidia already lost its profit during regular trading hours and that only got worse after the stock market closed.

    But I want to point out something: In many ways the world revolves around the USA. Anyone who doubts that covid was a way to remove Trump from office should listen to what this leftie is saying (for a second anyway.)

    That could be, but it shouldn't be expected to revolve around the whims of
    one person.

    I don't see anything about COVID in what Joseph posted above.

    Tariffs are supposed to be imposed by Congress. That way, things like the stock market cannot be manipluated (accidentally or on purpose) by the
    whims of one person. I don't see anything incorrect in what Joseph said
    above.

    That's true, but if it has to be that way, then it's better to be controlled by the whims of Trump rather than those of George Soros.

    Anyone who doubts that covid was a way to remove Trump from office shoul listen to what this leftie is saying (for a second anyway.)

    No, I complicated the conversation by adding that in. It's just that he rightfully pointed out that something that Trump did has a major effect on the entire world, and I responded by pointing out that "that's what covid was all about."

    It is better not to be controlled by either of them.

    Could have been.

    That's true, but look at everything Biden did to us. He controlled the crap out of us. Now it's Trump's turn. And I feel a lot safer under his control.
