Trump gets this whiny voice when he's challenged on something he thinks is true, as compared to something he knows is a lie. He did it during this interview when he said the MS13 was tattooed on Garcia's hand, and he did it during the debate when he said "I saw it on the television!" re: cats&dogs

Bessant is asked about Amazon move to list tariff impact on consumers. Leavitt knocks him out of the way & answers "This is a Hostile and Political act by Amazon... Partnered w/ Chinese firm... Buy American" This is more proof the WH doesn't want any other message, even Sec. Treasury's.

DOGE eliminating "waste, fraud, and abuse" by going after a government program that makes the government money? Yeah, that tracks. The LPO has lost $1 billion in loan defaults, while making $5.6 billion in interest. www.youtube.com/watch?v=payv...

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

Senator Adam Schiff has announced that, due to the chaos surrounding tariff policy, he will investigate whether anyone engaged in insider trading. Trump may be immune from prosecution, but those around him are not. — It’s time to decimate this MAGA circle.

If Congress had any ethics, the would immediately launch an investigation into Trump and his entire cabinet. Of course, most of the Rs were probably in on this blatant market manipulation too, so they have to protect themselves. 4 hours before pausing Tariffs: "This is a great time to buy!"

Mid-day volume exceeding open is just weird. Here's a chart from a random day in October for comparison

Yeah, this is a chart of Nasdaq futures, with volume charted on the bottom. I added the red line which is what volume looks like on a normal non-Trump day. Tons of volume at the open, very little volume throughout the day, and a huge spike at closing(would be off the end of the chart).

It's not even that. Everybody knows the market is going to go down more, but the big players like to push around the smaller ones. They force the price up to trigger stop losses, then let it drop down to where it should be once they're done. Literally the rich robbing the poor.

of tariffs. When GDP numbers come in low, when inflation numbers come in high, when unemployment rises, that's when the real pain will start. If Trump sticks to these tariffs for the next two months, we won't see the bottom for 6-12 months.

Lexi Greene @alexandragreene.bsky.social · 08/04/2025

Today, largely because of the "Trump might pause tariffs" news wire, we got a break from the freefall. But markets never go straight up or straight down, and we have a lot of room left to fall. Not only are *more* tariffs about to go into effect, but the market hasn't yet priced in the *effects*

It's hilarious, the Trump admin's calculation for tariff rates cited a paper studying the tariffs put on China his last term and found that it was almost 100% pass-through to consumers.
