Trump is going to win bigly and reset the world economy on more favorable (equitable) terms for the US or take the world off the cliff.

Make no mistake this is for all the marbles (at least in our lifetimes) boys and girls…..for the most concise summary of Trump’s strategy which is now bearing fruit and a bitter harvest for the Chi-Coms.

They need to rename that place the fake-conservative, big-government treehouse. It’s mostly a collection of Trumptards whose wagons have lost their wheels.

Getting in bed with Boris is a pathetic.

Just because some globalist scriptwriters want to shuffle some trillions around the globe does not translate into goodwill toward mankind or any genuine upside for Main Street.

MH you are one who gets it. The down voters are the fifth columnists and economic illiterates of which there are several around here. When we hit DOW 30,000 because of the capital flight they do not understand we will be treated to more uninformed ranting.

The ten year closed at 1.53% yield. A drop of 8 bps in yield wouldn’t be 1.36%.

Damn Chinese are currency manipulators and they will always seek to drop the Yuan lower. More QE is in the works. Just in time for 2020.

Let’s play with the insano bot.

Just sit right back and I will tell a tale,

A tail of a storm tossed chick.

That started with a cray cray dude whose panties knotted in a snit.

Then, the markets took a dive.

Trump on US-China trade war: ‘I could declare a national emergency’

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/08/25/trump-on-us-china-trade-war-i-could-declare-a-national-emergency.html

So Trump wants to declare a national emergency for something that he caused?

Oh of course, he didn’t cause anything.
