LiveSquawk: Politico reports Trump-Boeing deal with China is under strain. According to three people familiar with the matter, the $17 billion to $19 billion deal for 200 Boeing aircraft is at risk as Beijing insists on long-term guarantees for engine parts, maintenance, and servicing.

How long can the Bessent & Co. Hedge Fund (aka U.S. Treasury) juggle the propping up of bonds and shorting of oil before they blow that up too? #TrumpisInsane

A Trump truth social post that reads: "If Iran doesn't FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!
Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J.
TRUMP"

A two-buttons meme depicting a fictional Scott Bessent torn between shorting oil to drive the price down or buying bonds to drive yields down.

So grateful that we can make more money and destroy the Death Star in the same year. #trump #oil #Iran

A post from X of a post by trump that reads: "The United States is the largest Oil Producer in the World, by far, so when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money. BUT, of far greater interest and importance to me, as President, is stoping an evil Empire, Iran, from having Nuclear Weapons, and destroying the Middle East and, indeed, the World.
I won't ever let that happen! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

A reply to that post reads: "WHHO THE FUCK IS "WE"?"

Per @cnn.com someone in the White House said that the Venezuelan oil is literally in barrels for shipping to the United States. Do they think this AI image is how oil is shipped? Can the depths of stupid under that Penn Ave circus tent get any deeper?

Energy Secretary Chris Wright has been directed to "execute this plan, immediately," and the barrels "will be taken by storage ships, and brought directly to unloading docks in the United States."

CNN has reached out to the White House for more information.

A senior administration official, speaking under condition of anonymity, told CNN that the oil has already been produced and put in barrels. The majority of it is currently on boats and will now go to US facilities in the Gulf to be refined.

AI generated image of oil barrels in the cargo hold of an oil tanker. This fictional image is apparently what is in the minds of the mentally debilitated, illiterate morons in the White House. Fortunately for their own sake they speak anonymously to conceal their abject and abysmal stupidity.

Baker Hughes Rig Count for December 19. Oil rigs down 8. That's a loss of 72 oil rigs, 15%, since Trump took office. #drillbabydrill #oil

Baker Hughes Rig Count for oil and gas rigs operating in the United States for the week of December 19, 2025. Oil rigs operating in the United States have fallen by a count of 72 or 15% since the mango moron was inaugurated. Trump has drilled the US oil industry right in the ass.

This is your hourly reminder that the only people in America more irredeemably stupid than Trump's administration are people who voted for him.

Japan's Akazawa cancels trip over planned White House order to buy US rice. #trump #tariffs #Japan #trade

Article headline from Nikkei Asia that reads: "Japan's Akazawa cancels trip over planned White House order to buy US rice" "Tokyo protests that president can't tell Japanese government agencies what to do"

Image of the cover of "how to win friends and influence people" by Dale Carnegie.

Carnegie's book is perhaps second only in monumental business influence to Donald Trump's "the art of the deal".

The Art of the Deal is, of course, the seminal work by the undisputed towering figure in American real estate whose eye-popping financial success stands in stark contrast to his understated tastes in interior design and decorating.

Slim Pickens as Major Kong riding the bomb from the movie Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. Trump is an insufferable, pompous, hateful, uneducated, petulant, treasonous monster deserving of the abandoned penalty we should revive for America's latest, most heinous, and despicable traitors.

Fixed your dumb headline. #colbert @wsj.com www.wsj.com/business/med...

Wall Street Journal headline reading "Colbert Cancellation Exposes the Perilous State of Late Night TV" with a correction. The correction places the word "Democracy" over "Late Night TV". This clarification is important as it more precisely defines the unmistakeable reality of Donald Trump's thorough screwing of our democracy and economy that is glossed over by cowering major media outlets printing limp-dick, sugary, watered down headlines such as this.

Remember this classic from 2016? "Trump Digs Coal". 5,000 coal mining jobs were lost in his first 3 years. American coal exports fell by 1/3 when China stopped buying U.S. coal as retaliation for his tariffs. But please, Donald, go on about how much you're going to do for America's coal miners.
