President Trump has turned to hard left policies on the US economy.

“These two hard left policy statements announced on Truth Social on Wednesday sent stocks sinking and raised serious questions about the limits of presidential power in a free-market economy.

First, Trump posted on Truth Social that large institutional investors should be barred from buying single-family homes.

Then, President Trump stated that until defense companies can improve deliveries to the US military, the Trump administration would block their contracts unless they pay their executives a maximum of $5 million per year and stop issuing dividends and stock buybacks.”

The S and P closed on the up side yesterday. It has actually been a rather good week. Think both the Dow and S and P reached the highest point ever this week (January 6th).

OMG! Trump has become a left wing stooge!

Let’s look closer at those claims.

“Trump posted on Truth Social that large institutional investors should be barred from buying single-family homes.”

The favorite tactic of pointing at corporatism and crony capitalism and yelling that capitalism failed and we need communism.

Trump’s position is quite centrist.

“President Trump stated that until defense companies can improve deliveries to the US military, the Trump administration would block their contracts unless they pay their executives a maximum of $5 million per year and stop issuing dividends and stock buybacks.”

Asking for quality products to support American interests without financial manipulations and an administrative class taking their skim is also a centrist policy.

These policies are neither left or right.

They are American.

Market just opened and it is going up very fast. It’s the market so who knows, maybe there will be “profit taking” (code word used when no one knows why it is going down, but it is going down), but right now it is responding very well to whatever news is out there. SWA is up 4 percent for some reason.

Russia has admitted the unmarked oil tanker leaving Venezuela that was being escorted by a Russian sub was in fact Russian. We delivered the crew to Russia and they thanked us publicly this morning. LOL

This morning the market was going up so fast it looked like it was on a bender, taking a third tequila shot.
Now it looks like the friend took it to the bathroom to have a talk.
Simmering a little, but as I said there doesn’t appear to have been news that “sent stocks sinking”.

Initial Dip: Defense stocks initially fell on Wednesday after a statement from President Trump implementing a hard left policy of blocking dividends and stock buybacks until production speeds up … as recommended to President Trump by Senator Elizabeth Warren, a leftist Democrat from Massachusetts.

Significant Rebound: The defense contractor market quickly rebounded after President Trump later indicated a desire to increase the U.S. military budget significantly (from $901 billion to $1.5 trillion), which outweighs concerns over President Trump’s hard left policy on capping senior executive salaries and strict enforcement and sanctions for delivery schedules, signaling robust future revenue opportunities for defense companies.

Wonder what distinguishes a hard left policy from a right one, when it comes to government funded contracts? The right one just opens the taxpayers pockets and dumps as much as possible into the socialized cost and privatized gains? Or is it Liz Warren herself? Anything she supports is a commie policy by default? She and Trump friends now?
(these are all rhetorical questions)

President Trump is the American woman’s and man’s best friend.

President Trump is happily trotting alongside Elizabeth Warren and eagerly following her advice.

Stephen is happily trotting alongside a BLM march and asking if anyone wants to run train on him.

I sent an email to Trump.

I said he needs to make Greenland fully American.

Then send in ICE and deport all the filthy illegal aliens to Denmark.

GI, the BBC still hasn’t said anything about Iranian protestors burning over 30 mosques and rejecting Islam and sharia.

They’re almost as 2-faced as the CCP Foreign Minister.

I clicked on your link to the BBC story on Scott Adams and was algorithmed on to the BTS Big Bucks comeback tour story.

Personally, I prefer Blackpink but setnaffa needs someone to root for and BTS fit the bill.

Through our diligent intelligent work, we have uncovered attempt to create a breakaway nation in Texas called Setnaffaria.

There’s even a national anthem called “Song of Setnaffaria”

Song of Setnaffaria

Verse I
On a very legal patch of land,
We drew a brand-new line,
With a Sharpie and a master plan
Scribbled out in wine.
No more forms, no more experts,
No more facts to check,
Just vibes, resolve, and confidence
And a glorious flag we’ll spec.

Chorus
Oh Setnaffaria! Loud and proud!
The greatest, some have said,
A perfect nation, huge and strong,
At least inside our head.
We’re winning big, we always were,
Despite what maps may show,
Setnaffaria marches on
In tweets and overflow.

Verse II
With trusted friends from far away
Who swear they mean us well,
They loan us tanks and talking points
And promise not to tell.
From Beijing’s scripts to Moscow’s nods,
Such generous advice!
They say our freedom’s very real
(Just don’t read the fine-print twice.)

Chorus
Oh Setnaffaria! Bold and new!
Uncancelled, free, and loud,
A nation built on grievances
And feelings deeply proud.
We’ve got the best beliefs around,
The strongest truths by far,
Setnaffaria shines so bright
It blinds the fact-check czar.

Bridge
We love free speech so very much
We shout it into law,
Unless you disagree with us,
Then that’s a serious flaw.
Courts are fake, but justice real,
As long as we agree,
And every loss is rigged, of course—
Except our victories.

Final Chorus
Oh Setnaffaria! Stand and cheer!
Salute the chosen few,
Where loyalty is currency
And facts are optional too.
So raise the flag (design TBD),
And sing both near and far,
Setnaffaria forever reigns—
The best that never was.

Oh! Come to Setnaffaria,
where we make fun of the troll.
Because we don’t accept degeneracy
from Korea Thing’s oral cöckhole.

I am truly the Francis Scott Key of our time.

Expensive decisions are now being made over Iran.

The situation is at the very edge of sending a threatening message.

How exciting!

Cutting of Russia’s drones and China’s oil is worth the price of admission.

I have a new strategy for global domination!

We need a nuclear war.

It doesn’t matter with who… Russia, China, North Korea… even France.

But here is the neat thing.

For every city they nuke, America gets BETTER!

China will just buy more oil from Saudi.

Saudi, Joseon and Russia all major players in the extra-territorial, extra-judicial execution game.

Jamal Ahmad Hamza Khashoggi

Kim Jeong-nam

Too many to mention

Safe in his bunker in Setnaffaria, setnaffa will not be in the vicinity of the Saudi Embassy any time soon … even though his pal Trump has just done Saudi a big favor.
