[PAX] The Impeachment of Donald J. Trump

Safe to say that Trump will be the end of the line as no one is going to want to elect an boomer again after all this shit the past couple of weeks. His handling of Ukraine is just fucking shameful.

Interesting, the Whitehouse is going to release the Epstein documents. Not sure what that means yet, but I’m hopeful that this level of transparency is both accurate and complete. I suspect we will see some fallout from the disclosure of Epstein’s recordings. I believe we can all agree that sickness is sickness [as my stomach turns].
 
Trump is getting a bit tedious with the tariff threats, I'd think by now they would formalize some sort of more coherent strategy.

They are trying to achieve A LOT in the first weeks/months. Economy under Biden was running under the influence of insane government spending, so it was easy to hit 5% nominal GDP numbers when deficit spending was 7%. New administration is trying to cut the deficits and let the private sector step in and run the economy (as it should) but it's gonna be painful in the short to medium run to get the economy off the stimulants it got used to under Bidenomics. Also, we are reaching the time period when a lot of debt issued during 2020 and 2021 will have to be rolled over since average maturity of that debt was 4-5 years.

The problem is that financial markets are gonna keep applying pressure, the more they tick lover day after day, the more likely Trump is to cave in. We are not there yet, but imagine 15-20% drop in S&P 500 and there's gonna be panic stations. The US is so financialized that 20% drop in the stock market means the tax revenues would drop and deficits blow out, totally eradicating any DOGE savings.
 
As a president, the easiest thing to do is to juice up GDP numbers and stock market. You just get the treasury to issue tons of debt and you issue it on the short end (more 1-2 years compared to 10). This is exactly what Biden and Yellen did. The release valve in this case is inflation, deficits exploding, corruption, high mortgage rates, income inequality and societal discontent. Everything has a price.

Seems like Trump is trying to reverse that but I am super doubtful now he is gonna achieve it or that the market is gonna allow him.

We already saw Trump saying that Musk needs to DO more, faster. In the meantime, Tesla stock is getting crushed...I wonder how long this friendship between Trump and Musk will last.

This is why Ukraine is being thrown under the bus and don't be surprised that there could have been some back room deals between Trump and Putin as both have reasons to fear a conflict with China. It is public knowledge that the CCP wants to take Russia's far east primarily for the untapped resources.

It has become exceedingly obvious that China and the CCP wants to rule the world and they're not even hiding it. If I had to get into bed with a devil, it would be the one that appears to be playing second fiddle to the one wearing the biggest crown (China).

I don't so much believe that Ukraine is being thrown under the bus as much as they have been subjected to geopolitical forces that have been mounting over a long period of time. If there was any agreement between Ukraine and the United States then I might feel differently, but they aren't in NATO and the US really has no reason to be involved in this proxy war. The only reason we have supported them this long is because politicians have been getting paid and corporations stood to make big money on the rebuild of that country - this has been the status quo for far too long and is incredibly immoral and unethical. Trump's demand for access to minerals is at the very least transparent and at the most it challenges the very reason (big business) war has been perpetuated globally. I can't say for certain that Trump is innocent in his motives but I also can't deny that he has the appearance of going against an illness that is killing millions globally. This is why I keep watching closely to see if his bed is shared with certain powers in western Europe that are at the heart of this illness. They all seem to love their wars and will do everything necessary to keep that "merry-go-round" perpetually in movement.

Nice comment BTW. You are obviously paying close attention.
