As far as y trading account is concerned, i am happy to be on the sidelines. In the near distant future, good set ups to by calls. I should be a commentator on a tv stock channel. Where else can you get free advice like this?

Only Trump would cause this mess!

On Truth Social, Trump reposted a video that said he’s ‘purposely crashing the market’ and included a fake Warren Buffet quote. As people panic over tariffs, Trump said we just need to ‘HANK TOUGH.’

Link to ridiculous Trump TS post:

The fake Warren Buffett quote was him supposedly saying Trump “is making the best economic moves he’s seen in 50 years” lmao and that’s within the first 12 seconds of this video:

That necessitated that B Hathaway post this:

ha, NE (BRK.A; BRK.B) –
There are reports currently circulating on social media (including Twitter, Facebook and Tik Tok) regarding comments allegedly made by Warren E. Buffett. All such reports are false.

It’s not surprising about Grassley because IA is the top growing state of corn and 2nd highest for soybeans. Their corn exports were recently at $2.4 billion and soybean exports $11.5 billion:

“This Senate bill to slap limits on the president’s tariff power now has SEVEN Republican sponsors:• Grassley• Moran• Murkowski• McConnell• Tillis• Young• Collins”

Reuters Retracts Bogus Report That Trump Was Considering Tariffs Pause

https://www.thewrap.com/reuters-retracts-report-trump-tariff-90-day-pause/

         CNBC was also fooled by a viral X post that mischaracterized what a White House advisor told Fox News

Reuters then reported the claim Trump was debating a 90-day pause on tariffs, and pointed to CNBC’s reporting on it. The quick burst of “news” about a potential break on tariffs helped spur a dramatic jump for the Nasdaq, S&P 500, and Dow Jones, with all three turning green after starting the morning down several percentage points.  

Soon after those reports, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told CNBC the report was “fake news.”

  Reuters then retracted its story and included the following explanation:  

“Reuters, drawing from a headline on CNBC, published a story on April 7. saying White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett had said that President Donald Trump was considering a 90-day tariff pause on all countries except China. The White House denied the report. Reuters has withdrawn the incorrect report and regrets the error.” 

The outlet added “There will be no substitute” to the original story. Reuters’ headline for the link now says: “Story withdrawn on Hassett’s comments on tariff pause.”

+++++++++++++++

The MSM reporting news without verifying it as factual? Gee, who would have guessed that would happen

OPINION: China's ready for a trade war. The U.S. isn't. Here's why

https://www.newsweek.com/chinas-ready-trade-war-us-isnt-heres-why-opinion-2056479


China Can't Win a Trade War Against the U.S. for One Simple Reason | Opinion

Today, President Donald Trumpthreatened an additional 50 percent tariff on Chinese goods if Beijing did not rescind by tomorrow its retaliatory 34 percent tariff imposed Friday.

The Chinese rate is the same as that Trump slapped on Chinese products on April 2.

The new rounds of American and Chinese tariffs are escalations. Trump in February and March imposed two rounds of 10 percent tariffs on China for its role in the fentanyl crisis. With these three rounds of additional tariffs and other measures, the effective U.S. rate on Chinese goods is about 65 percent. If he goes ahead with the 50 percent levy, the rate hits 115 percent.

In this particular trade war, the winner will not be China.

The same MSM outlet and 2 opinion articles, published in the same afternoon that insist on the completely opposite outcomes.

Look at the source/author of the 2nd article:

Gordon G. Chang is the author of Plan Red: China's Project to Destroy America and The Coming Collapse of China. Follow him on X @GordonGChang.

The views expressed in this article are the writer's own.


Now lets look at the author of the 1st article:

Imran Khalid is a geostrategic analyst and columnist on international affairs. His work has been widely published by prestigious international news organizations and publications.

The views expressed in this article are the writer's own.

Which one do you think the MAGA people will believe?


Here's more on Chang:

His big predictions about China in the past turned out wrong. Betting against him is usually the best position. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_G._Chang

China

Chang has made numerous predictions of the imminent collapse of the Chinese government and fall of the Communist Party since 2001 including the specific years.[10][11][12] In the 2001 book The Coming Collapse of China, Chang insisted that the government would collapse in 2011. When 2011 was almost over, he admitted that his prediction was wrong but said that he was off by only a year and wrote in the Foreign Policy magazine, that "Instead of 2011, the mighty Communist Party of China will fall in 2012. Bet on it." Consequently he made Foreign Policy's "10 worst predictions of the year" twice in a row when his predictions were proven wrong again.[13]

Chang has said that China is not trying to compete with the United States within the Westphalian order but to overthrow that order altogether.[14] In his book The Great U.S.–China Tech War (2020), Chang posits that China and the United States are involved in a "cold tech war," with the winner being able to dominate the 21st century.[15]

According to Chang, Chinese students in the United States are controlled by the authoritarian regime in China. He said that Chinese students "have become the long arm of authoritarianism" and collect intelligence for the Chinese regime.[5]

In 2011, Chang stated that China was the "new dot-com bubble" and added that the rapid growth by China was contradicted by various internal factors, including a decrease in population growth and a slowdown of retail sales.[16] In a separate interview, he remarked that China achieved its 149.2 percent trade surplus with the United States by "lying, cheating, and stealing" and that if China decided to realize its threat, expressed since August 2007, to sell its Treasury bonds, it would actually hurt its own economy since it is reliant on exports to the United States. The US economy would be hurt by a selloff of Treasuries, which would cause the US to buy less from China, which would in turn hurt the Chinese economy.[17]

Trump greatly exceeded his Constitutional powers as president:
