President Donald Trump

President Donald Trump

I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?

So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at

I don't think he tried to exterminate a religion...

I'm not sure if you missed the post I was responding to or you misread my last sentence, but you missed something somewhere. Hitler isn't unique as a politician because he did illegal acts, stole money or changed laws - he is fairly unique because he tried to exterminate a religion. My point was that everyone knows hitler as the guy who killed a lot of Jews so comparing someone

Its incredibly odd that you think that the only way to compare someone to Hitler is if they do or don't want to exterminate Jews

Like, Trump called lefties "vermin" that needed to be rooted out. Thats a line directly lifted from Hitler and Moussolini.

Trump said that immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country". Again, thats a line lifted directly from Hitler

I'm baffled by your condescending tone considering your post is legitimately ******ed

The above contains so many falsehoods and/or misrepresentations that it would take me a lot more time and energy than I have right now to give a point-by-point 'rebuttal.'That said, Jesus Himself isn't recorded as ever discussing the roles and responsibilities of the government..Christians are commanded to feed the poor, help widows and orphans, and many other things. But Jes

I'm looking forward to a detailed response, but please note that I didn't say anything about the role or responsibilities of the government. I didn't say anything at all about feeding anyone, or even mention food. But I do believe that Christians shouldn't want to vote for those who personally behave in ways that would be anathema to Jesus, including in their votes for policy decisions. For example, the Bible doesn't say anything about the role of government in regulating immigration, but if someone spews hatred by calling immigrants rapists, murderers, and even vermin, that person surely isn't treating immigrants as specified in the Bible.

The things I did say are all based on my own reading of the Bible, which I spent many years carrying around or sitting under my seat. I certainly have not attempted to misrepresent anything.

The proper taxonomy for leftists is literal nazism

Lets don't forget that tariffs are ultimately a regressive tax.

Yes. As all sales tax are.

I wonder which states have higher sales taxes...

The market is pricing in Powell being replaced with a puppet who will reduce rates and start printing

So why is the 10y bond yield at 4.3? How are inflation breakevens where they are?

If the market was pricing massive inflation you would have a bond rout

So your reaction to specific points where trump has parroted hitler is to call all leftists literal Nazis?

I have no problem acknowledging some of Trump rethorics draw from nazist rethorics.

Nazists were exceptionally good at rethoric so everyone who wants to be good at rethoric will draw from the nazists playbook ON THAT.

That doesn't mean in any actual sense being nazist though.

Same as of marxists were really good at making cigars in Cuba, being good at making cigars by copying techniques developed by marxists doesn't make you a communist


I just realized that Trump's lawsuit against CBS said that he should be compensated for emotional harm inflicted on him by their TV shows!

The ultimate snowflake.

I think it would be hard to find one world leader who didn't get at least a few votes because he/she seemed liked the lesser of two evils compared to who he/she was running against.... but yeah let's compare trump to hitler even though this is true of all politicians. Is it ironic at all to you that hitler is most hated for killing jews and trump is currently mostly hated, by m

Are you kidding? No one hates Trump because of that, or at least no one I ever heard. He's just doing pretty much the same thing as Biden was doing, and Biden got lots of criticism from the left about that.

It’s probably already priced in.
Moreover why you take today to make this point and not like 1 month ago when yield were even higher ?
You look at the 30 years and its even more obvious they believe big inflation is coming .
The 10 and 30 years bond are at the high end yield of the last 10 years shrug.
The rest is just noise .

trump is doing what Biden (which was a decent person) always wanted to do but didn't because of politics on the left.

Biden didn't bomb Iran nor greenlighted Israel unlimited violence to undermine Hamas.

Anyone see the adp report today?

Fake news!

Watch for a lawsuit filed against ADP by the Trump regime.

And remember, you heard it here first!


by checkraisdraw

Those tariff levels sound high. We gain a lot more importing Vietnamese goods than they gain importing ours…Huh? We lost 33k jobs. Who would want to see that no matter who is president?

I wonder how Vietnam will pay the tariffs, as they have always been paid in the past by the importer.

how is the 30y yield at 4.8% an indication of the market thinking "big inflation" is coming?

of the long part of the curve is higher than the last 10y avg, we had massive central bank buying of binds and several moments at short term rates of 0 on the last QP years (!!!!).

check historically last 60 years. is 4.8% for the 30y high?

it should be higher than the postwar average if serious inflation was considered plausible.

serious inflation is 7-10% (or more) per year for many years in a row.

Vietnam doesn't pay the tariffs. US Companies pay the tariffs and pass the cost onto the customer.

All tariff revenue is essentially a tax on US citizens

I don't even mind additional taxes but they are just lying to everyone blatantly over and over.

Hitler is disparaged mostly because he tried to take over the world, resulting in millions of deaths, and the he put people in concentration camps and exterminate several ethnicities.

It is not because he chose the Jews (and a few smaller groups) as the hated group.

Before either of those things, he got the German public on his side by spewing hateful rhetoric and then started to have his personal military police round up members of various groups he didn't like.

This is where we currently are with Trump, and we want to stop him before he progresses to the most heinous atrocities.

Hitler is disparaged because he did that to his own citizens.

every country of significance treated foreigners like utter trash genociding them a lot historically. it was absolutely normal to do that.

what wasn't normal was waking up one day and determining very successful citizens which contributed a lot to your society were the enemy.

that's where targeting Jews become significant.

and communists did the same with the bourgeoisie, the Kulaks and so on

weird that we celebrate the USA, UK, and France then.

Yeah I just read that also. Previously I knew he was alleging election interference, but I didn't know the suit also included emotional distress.

They cry , for 1 year at 9% inflation , that the world was almost going to end ….
Your way off in your valuation .

The 30year was over 5% couple days ago.
Double the inflation rate.
Us paying over 1 trillions just in interest payment .
Trump keep streaming he wants lower interest rates .

Yeah it’s all normal having such a high interest rates with such a high debt because 40 years ago something something ….
To believe the US could live with an interest rate of 10% for example is science fiction .
So in actuality, 5% is pretty high .


30y could be pricing in 15% inflation but if economic growth is negative then you can end up with a 5% 30 year yield

We will see what happens in next 2-3 months. Data will be telling



God damn, Lucy is a stupid ****ing idiot
