I thought the black swan was here a month ago? Do you ever get anything correct?

rolling back tariffs is much easier than rolling back bombs dropped on schools, bridges, industries, etc

You don’t say? It’s why we’re supposedly doing this detail. What other point could there be?

I'm not sure why you folks engage these military/economy/life strategy experts. They’re obviously brilliant.

You do realize that Trump completely backed off the tariffs that were announced on "Liberation Day," do you not? The actual tariffs ended up being a small fraction of what was announced, because even Trump could not ignore the shuddering of the bond markets. Had the announced tariffs actually been implemented, we would be in a very different situation right now.

I know math is hard...

Yall haven’t figured out how Trump works? It’s a negotiation tactic. Big threats (nobody knows for sure if he will do it) brings them all to the table and some kind of deal gets made. Nobody has walked away as far as I can tell.

Didn't they hold vigils for the 13 and act outraged that those lives were lost? Seems..... hypocritical

So everyone’s suddenly forgotten what war is? Easter Sunday too. Great timing. Can’t afford to lose this one regardless. No reason to either.
