looks likes Trumps unpredictability which worked for him in some circumstances is becoming detrimental to the market.

 

this is creating a risk off environment with all the back and forth instability 

 

In addition his justifications defy logic as in this example :

 

He used an emergency act to justify his tariffs based on Fentanyl which is well and good until we probe into the details and ask a few questions

 

1)  What percent of Fentanyl was brought in by US citizens ? ....... turns out it was 86 %

 

2) Where was it brought in ? ....... turns out the 90 percent of the time its at a legal border crossing by a US citizen

 

3) Now for the 64,000 dollar question ,,,,, how many people arrested out in the fields had Fentanyl? ,,,,,,, not many at all .... maybe one out of thousands 

 

4)  What about all the new soldiers Trump got in the deal? ,,,,well check for yourself but it's almost the same as what Biden negotiated already!

 

 

Now if we look at Canada it borders on the ridiculous ..... they have agreed to spend billions to please Trump when the odds of finding a Canadian person running Fentanyl across a Canadian field is close to zero.

 

Folks are picking up on this now and questioning Trumps motives which will not bode well for the market. Particularly when you consider he insinuated that Canada must be absorbed by the United States and would be if left to his devices  .. this is breeding anti US sentiment around the world.

So now in a move that would have been shocking if it had been anyone else , Trump is standing on a pully pulpit suggesting that the United States should absorb not just Greenland, Canada ,and Panama  - but also the Gaza strip - kicking out the generational residents and turning it into the Las Vegas of the East.

I think your right all of those 1000's of fentynal deaths and growing in my province alone every year must be from the hospital.  You seriously need to give your head a shake.  Obviously you live in Maui on the ocean and never leave your home.  It is obvious it is a major problem coming across both borders.  Fentanyl is killing thousands of people, creating crime and destroying other peoples lives with attacks!!  That's also like saying that there was no illegal alien murdering Laken Riley.

  Fentanyl is killing thousands of people, creating crime and destroying other peoples lives with attacks!!  .


To put things in perspective, deaths in US per year:
* car deaths: 40,000
* cancer deaths: 600,000

Why obsess over fentanyl trade that is minor and easing?https://www.npr.org/...a-canada-mexico

He is obvious becoming the Putin of the west. Gathering power, muffling free speech, outing all dissenters from any power, hoping to grab some foreign land for his third-term and beyond.

Muffling free speech now that's hilarious, he started his own social media outlet for free speech and X is totally free speech, I saw both sides during the election.  For sure in a house Maui that only gets CNN, ABC and MSNBC lol!!

I do not consider Truth Social a platform worth listening to. I see nothing but lies, finger pointing and censorship there. It contains no content that has any truthfulness.

X is an Elon Musk/Trump platform. Elon Musk definitely promotes extreme censorship.

Facebook is also catering to Trumps ideology, but not as controlled.

And with Trumps sovereign fund buying up TikTok, there will not be anyone but Trumps talking heads speaking.
