A potential pathway for Robert, Imp, BigPapasan, and Nicky?

The mainstream liberal media has painted Trump as an extremist, a 21st century George Wallace. He's actually a 21st century FDR: socially moderate, anti-war, and committed to America’s blue-collar workers as the backbone of this country and the locus of our power and democracy. Honored to share my first official column @TheFP about my journey from Trump Derangement Syndrome to MAGA Lefty:

He should have just improved it by erasing it.

She knows that DT is not remotely anti-war where Bibi Land is concerned.  In that case he's as pro-war as the ancient deity Mars.

If she's pro-DT, this is solely the reason.

As for Bibi land, have you ever been there?

Surprising that Yale let the study be published.

People often ask me how I deprogrammed my TDS. The journey was long—I wrote about it in my initial official column @TheFP,

Interesting interview, part 1, turned Republican from having TDS being a Liberal. MAGA Lefty calls herself. Seems to be genuine

Part 2 from Batya Ungar-Sargon, MAGA Lefty called by Fox News anchor, Batya agreed she used to have TDS from being a Liberal. Describes how Trump backs the American working people instead of the Global elite and the Illuminati.

Wall Street is trying to short President Trump's agenda by betting against the American worker. They can't stand that for the first time in half a century, a president in choosing to stand with the American working class over the international elites and China. It's despicable
Trump is saying we're going to invest heavily in OUR middle class. We are no longer going to be a country in which our economy is an upward funnel of wealth from the hardest-working Americans into the pockets of the international global elites.

"Wall Street" isn't "trying" to do ANYTHING. Wall Street isn't an entity with a brain (kinda like The SPOAT and Loser) and doesn't have an opinion on Trump's agenda. It is an uncoordinated community of investors simply reacting en masse to events. What the markets do is essentially create a valuation for shares based on the expected performance of the companies that issue the shares. It is, as ed pointed out earlier, it is a LEADING economic indicator that's trying to guess how a company will perform in the future by assigning a future-based multiple to its current earnings. That's what makes a stock's price.
But it's NOT a single entity that "tries" to do anything. It doesn't have a will, or intentions.
That BUS fails to understand this proves she has no clue about what's going on and simply wants to blame something for Trump's brainless blundering.

There was nothing "blue' about what I wrote. Just simple Economics 101, which Loser is too fucking dumb to comprehend..
Loser is one stupid mofo. Which means he'll be poor for the rest of his miserable life.

BUS is far from ignorant. While your description of stock valuation is clear and understandable, it doesn’t mean that a “Wall Street is scared/worried/optimistic/fill in the blank” statement does provide not an accurate analogy. You know that monolithic descriptions of “Wall Street” are common in the media and in the case of BUS’s description are meant to show the different priorities of the investing class and the working class.

Over-simplifications and monolithic descriptions are, by definition, ignorant.

So the commentators on CNBC, Fox Business and Bloomberg are ignorant, in your eyes?

First, you said referring to Wall Street as an entity was ignorant. Now you’re saying that referring to Wall Street as an entity looking to short Trump’s agenda is ignorant. Which is it?

Interesting essay at commonplace.org

E Ever since Donald Trump’s first term as president, his detractors in the Democratic Party and their spokespeople in the mainstream liberal media have had a recurring refrain: his single achievement in office was a tax cut for him and his rich buddies. It was always nonsense, erasing the significant tax cuts middle- and working-class Americans got, as well as his achievements controlling the southern border, imposing tariffs on China to force supply chains elsewhere, and, more generally, shrinking the income gap for the first time in 60 years. But let Liberation Day—Trump’s moniker for April 2, the day he imposed across-the-board reciprocal and global tariffs—put to bed the myth that Trump is beholden to the rich.
What is so frustrating about the conversation around tariffs is that most people agree on the problem: the deindustrialization of America led to the downward mobility of the American working class, deaths of despair, and an economy where people working multiple jobs still couldn’t afford the American Dream. Yet when a president has the guts to use a tool at his disposal—once a common feature of American policy—to reverse this trend, it’s wall-to-wall criticism from the free trade extremist Right and, well, the now free trade extremist Left.

Batya concludes:
The message of the tariffs is simple: we are refusing the race to the bottom on wages. Continuing to do so would harm the American worker. Tariffs, instead, represent a redistribution of wealth from the elites who are invested in finance and real estate to ordinary Americans. We have to start betting on the American worker rather than against him or her, and rebuild the pathway to the American Dream for every American. Tariffs can help make that possible.

how jacking up the price of goods by thousands of dollars helps the American worker and "Main St?"

A new Maserati’s going to go up thousands. A Rolex is going to go up thousands. Most Americans will see a slight increase in prices corresponding with an increase in productivity and wages.  

You’re not “Main Street” Nicky. At least that’s what you proclaim here repeatedly multiple times a day.

By explicitly accepting my high-end status.
And I will stipulate it's far too soon to know exactly by how much the tariffs will affect prices, because importers may simply eat some of the costs and not pass them on.
But estimates (which one would assume ChicKie has seen) are that the price of cars will go up by several thousand dollars; the price of flat-screen TVs by hundreds; and the same thing for appliances. Groceries (Trump's favorite word) will increase by a large percentage, too.
So it's not simply the rich (like me) who will be impacted.  
PS: there's one encouraging sign. Vietnam has said they'll drop their tariffs on US goods to zero if we'll do the same for theirs. If Trump is lucky, a negotiation will deliver a win. We'll see.
