The Economy is Trump’s Piggy Bank

OPINION

We have just seen a rebound an hour ago following Trump’s pausing of the tariffs for 90 days. 

Today is the day that the tariffs were meant to go into effect.

This article is conjecture so take this with a grain of salt, but what we are seeing from where I’m standing is corruption on a level we’ve never seen before in the free world. 

Keeping in mind that the president is the face of the deep state, here’s how Trump specifically appears to be taking advantage of his position in the current moment:

  • The administration cause market panic and crash the stock with announcements of blanket tariffs for select nations on Liberation Day.
  • Predictably, the market inevitably responds with fear and uncertainty, selling off stocks causing the market to tumble.
  • Trump and his cronies buy the dip.
  • The administration pause the imposed tariffs (ostensibly for 90 days—slight certainty in future investment decisions), on the day they to be enacted causing FOMO and market rebound. 

The state silently operating in the background calling the shots on what to do and the direction for the nation to take. Trump taking in donors to appease his ego and influence that direction. 

We will see the world lose trust in the U.S. and its financial institutions as Our Dear Leader keeps playing chicken in this trade war, eroding trust and predictability of the market for his own personal gain.

It’s difficult to say at this time what exactly the administration is aiming for, given they appear to not actually want to negotiate tariffs, if the intent were even there in the first place.

What exactly is "the Left" and "the Right", anyway?

I asked a mate the other day to define what the terms lefty and right-winger meant to him, and his response astounded me. I won’t repeat what he said here in the interest of being concise and getting to the point, but let’s just say it hurt my brain to process. This article aims to clarify, in a neutral sense, what the two sides stand for and believe in. It’s important to set a baseline, so let’s take a crack at keeping things simple from the outset.   On a purely technical level and without jargon:    Left : egalitarianism .  The left tends toward equality, which is why concepts such as gender inclusivity are primarily tackled from this perspective. This emphasis on inclusion gives rise to movements or ideas such as LGBTQI+ rights and DEIA (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility). - Right : hierarchy .  The belief in hierarchy is the foundational principle of the right. This worldview often involves serving a higher purpose beyond person...

Make America Great Depression

So here we are. America is on the brink of a recession—perhaps even a brand spanking new Great Depression. It’s not like we haven’t been here before . Protectionism has been tried in the past and failed spectacularly, exacerbating economic pain. Maybe you think the last time it was done incorrectly. Perhaps you believe it wasn’t a pure enough attempt. Or maybe you think it was simply due to the circumstances of the time, and that this time is different. Whatever your view, we are all in this boat together. And now is not the time for “I told you so’s”—that can come later, once we’re in the trenches of Normandy. This is the time for solidarity. The market is crashing, and it doesn’t look like it’s slowing anytime soon. If you voted MAGA, this is the bed you made for us to sleep in. No, this is not Joe Brandon’s fault. And no, the pain we’re all about to feel from this is absolutely not necessary—contrary to some populist's opinion. Tariffs are a useful tool when use...

Mass Deportation

Is it true that 11-25 million undocumented immigrants are all criminals?  Let's take this question on face value as many of us do; the US has an immigration problem as do most Western countries, both sides can agree to that. The higher (but receding) standard of living means that our countries are sought after by others, and that's a good thing. From a purely selfish point of view, it gives us access to the greatest minds around the globe since they want to be "here" and not "there". This is an incredibly valuable resource to exploit for a nation's benefit.  The extent to which immigration is the root cause of our current economic and political climate is another question in itself and we will cover that in another post, however it is the underlying premise as to why so many people today are jumping on the deportation bandwagon that seeks to lump every single one of these individuals in the same basket. For now we will focus on the specifics of how or w...
