As the 401Koch statements come in.
As the things cost more, but the benefits - are NOT anywhere close, and it happens in multiple directions his poll numbers are in the mid to low 30's.
I had said months ago that I think before mid-terms it'll be lame duck+ chaos, and that is when the GOP Establishment tells him to pound sand, that they aren't afraid of his political power within the party.
Who knows, maybe I was too slow on my timeline. If this stuff isn't face-savingly-walked-back soon, the numbers will go down well before next year. AND the Wall Street people and CEOs will be telling the GOP leaders and rank and file that things need to change.
At that point, IF trump is still President, the Democrat House can make him miserable all over again. Even Speaker Johnson will only visit the White House if Trump pays gas and an hourly rate.
Again, fudged it up.
Even in 2016 I said if he doesn't go the chaos route it could be a dynasty.
But, no. Chaos.
I gotta look at the investment boards. I'm wondering if people are doing the "buy the dip" shit I hear 401K'ers say to themselves all the time.
I wonder, for a rookie like me who doesn't invest in paper assets but for crisis, and a few long term holds......I wonder if this is the time to buy?
Or is it time to nibble?
Or is it time to shut up - and wait?
Cursory look shows that some quality stuff is sort off on sale. Mind you it looked like that yesterday too.

IMO, give it time. I don't expect prices to go up--but going down. China did retaliatory tariffs at 34%--thus far. If Spankee raises tariffs, so will China. Canada already matched US tariffs--and lots of jobs "paused" for now. When return? Good question. Depends on the stupidity of Spankee (infinitely deep) BUT he *knows* he will get his butt kicked if the economy gets very bad. It will be the Second Spankee Great Recession/Depression to all of the GOP and their supporters (who will lose their jobs, and more). No benefits? They are the ones meant to NOT get benefits (they cost $$$!!!) and the billionaires won't pay because it doesn't matter to them. Their money = they decide.
To Spankee supporters:
You are being "trickled on" by the billionaires.
You pay billions, they collect it. The billionaires do not pay taxes on that money.
IRS stripped of the people needed to do proper audits of complex returns.
Is that yellow pool of water (?) you are standing in deep enough YET?
