OVAL OFFICE BUFFOONERY

The Reign of An Economically Ignorant Man

In Ten Weeks Trump's Tariff Terror has lead to total non-confidence on the part of investors.

Goldman and Yardeni (and many more investment advisors) give up, at least for the short-term.

Goldman Sachs says: "We now expect an S&P 500 3-month return of -5%......Our 2025 and 2026 EPS forecasts are substantially below consensus."

Yardeni Research says: "(We are) upping the odds of a stagflation scenario, which may include a recession, from 35% to 45%. That 45% is also the probability we see that the stock market's correction will deepen into a bear market in coming months."

Non-confidence is the new consensus. Trump's only interest is the Art of the Deal, where world powers kneel to him. And we are going to pay the price, according to the investment world.

Ain't That A Shame . . A Constitutional Crisis That Republicans Deny

Democratic States Sue To Stop Trump's Unlawful Control Of Elections

Elections, ALL elections, are organized through State Constitutions, just as the US Constitution has given them authority to do. Constitutionally, we do not have a Federal election in the country. We have a series of State elections.
 - The people of each State elect their own Representatives to the House every two years.
 - The people of each State (now) elect their Senators every six years (the States used to appoint there own Senators every six years).
 - The people of each State vote for their choice of President every four years. Every State has its own Electoral College that then votes for President. And each State has unique rules dictating how the State Electoral College may or may not follow the State's popular vote. Then a nationwide Electoral College tallies the State's votes to elect the President.
 - Nowhere does the US Constitution give a sitting President the authority to influence a State election by EO (Executive Order).

In their lawsuit, the 19 Democratic states have argued that Trump's EO violates the Constitution and the National Voting Rights Act, which allows voting as long as a person attests to their citizenship under the threat of perjury. The Democrats are the ones following Constitutional law, in this case. And Trump is violating it. If the Courts agree with Trump, it will mean only one thing, that the Courts are also violating the Constitution.

A Fifth Grader that can read and think, can recognize that. Language is pretty basic, honest, and straight forward. Too bad politics is filled with convoluted dishonesty.

Ending The Buffoonery Is So Easy

Equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political;
peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations — entangling alliances with none.
