Trump administration 2024-2028

I wonder what the markets are going to look like tomorrow.
This news came out early this afternoon, and was hinted at last night I believe. A fair bit of that’s probably already priced in. The Euros walking away from ratifying the summer trade deal will hit harder.

We tend to look at the USD’s strength relative to the Canadian Dollar for obvious reasons. But when you look at the DXY U.S. Dollar index, the strength of their dollar is down about 8.8% since Trump’s inauguration. I’m surprised that’s not mentioned more.

Currencies dropping only matters when it's the CAD and it's used to make certain politicians look bad.
 

Absolutely agree with Judge Novak that Halligan had no business to hold her position, whereupon she instituted a series of malicious prosecutions for Trump including charging Comey.

But … I don’t know enough about US process and law that the courts in the Eastern District of Virginia engage in a process to seek, solicit and appoint a DA which is normally a Federal appointment made by the Executive Branch.
It seems odd that Courts will now appoint the person who will act as Chief Prosecutor in a federal district.

I would note the EDVA is the same district Research In Motion (BlackBerry) lost the largest patent infringement action (at that time) to a redneck jury trial in 2006/7. Speaking from personal experience there were a lot of unusual goings on in that District.

After what has been learned to-date, are you of the opinion that Comey has done nothing wrong?
 
Trump says a lot of uncomfortable truths in an unsophisticated and often inflammatory way.
He expects us to kiss the ring every time we open our mouth, not to mention we havent joined the golden dome program, thats like me mowing your lawn, then demanding payment even though you never asked me to.

With everything we know about this Admin's retaliatory prosecution, can you say he hasn't? nothing in court has stuck because the admin treats courts like a Fox news talk show and thinks opinion can replace fact. The fact the administration wants to prevent the release of volume 2 of his report speaks volumes as well.
 
Canada's not grateful. Denmark's not grateful. Europe's not grateful. What an awful, uncaring world he occupies.

Other NATO partners have not lived up to their agreements - actions.

Other NATO partners disparage the US while the US carries the burden - words.

This can be interpreted as ungrateful.

By my guess, even though they don't carry the heavy burden other NATO countries might get more leniency if they at least carried the water for the US. They do neither well.

Article 5 only invoked by one nation. NATO partners stepped up

They carried that burden for their own self interests.

The US is full of shit on the that.

After the US revealed itself for what it is why would they.
