The present value of cases of Minnesota fraud, of more than $1 million, before the state or federal court, at present, is less than $400 million. If the Trump Ad. announces more than $9 billion dollars it must show more than $9 billion dollars of criminal fraud cases because they are serial liars.

How does one give huge tax cuts to the Ultra-Wealthy and infuse $100s of billions into the stock market without a treasury bond market collapse? By buying back huge amounts of your own bonds far beyond anything ever seen in history. But then why are 10 and 30 year yields still at near-crisis levels?

In order to reverse a stock market plummeting yet again, Trump announces yet another time that Iran is about to accept a deal. He is immediately outmaneuvered by Iran which announces that details of the purported MOU consists of a total Iranian wish-list. What new fairy tale will he make up now?

Apr CPI: 2.3%? First of all, just about all of the tariffs have been paused or temporarily dialed way back thus greatly altering expectations. Those that remained in force effect manufacturing materials — will take time to affect prices. Second of all, CPI numbers just ain't what they used to be....

The markets are plunging, at least in part due to Trump's threats to remove Jerome Powell as Chairman of the Fed. In response to this, Trump is even more stridently threatening to remove him which is causing the markets to plunge further.
