I was wondering: if a war starts with Iran—which is likely—further crashes the market, and sparks global panic, might the war accelerate the market crash and global recession?🤔

The concept of a World Reserve Currency is complex—certainly beyond my expertise. As a layman, I wonder: what’s stopping Europe from creating its own reserve currency? BRICS is supposedly working on something similar.

I think Mr. Trump is onto something even bigger—he just dismantled the Dept of Ed. What if he does the same with all other federal departments, except for a handful? We all know the GOP prefers shifting power to the states. If we get rid of the Treasury, the federal deficit will be history—easy fix

He enjoys talking. I only wish he realized that his words have consequences and worldwide effects, for better or worse. One thing I've noticed, though, is that he spends more time at his Resolute Desk than ever before and uses his signature hand movements less. Maybe it's a sign of his age.

I'll wait until the market closes. This has become a pattern—he says something outrageous in the morning that depresses the market, only to rescind or delay the action before closing, recovering some of the morning's losses. Why does he do that? Very strange! It doesn't help the market settle.

As far as I know, national leaders—including kings and emperors—generally avoid disclosing their preferences for commercial products to remain fair to all competitors. This applies to media and brands of nationally manufactured and sold products, preventing any perception of endorsement.

Fraud and waste exist in all gov branches, and cutting them is essential. But the concern is how Musk is doing it. Rushing cuts can cause mistakes and hardship for fellow Americans. The president must stop firing people without thorough investigations. GOP lawmakers should urge Trump to reconsider.

Does it make any sense for the President of the United States to promote a product made by one of his own associates? Common sense suggests that a President must be neutral in such matters. There are other manufacturers in this country—I wonder how they feel about this.

Trump fell for his own doom-and-gloom rhetoric. Sure, the economy can always improve, but his exaggerated pessimism was baseless. Biden left a strong economy with <4% unemployment—an impressive feat. Trump got carried away with his own wild predictions. Time to wake up, Mr. T. #Economy #Politics

No matter how hard I try, this just doesn’t make sense. Why Canada—the best neighbor any country could ask for? What is it that Trump is so fixated on? Is it personal? Did Canada refuse to give him something he always wanted? It’s quite a mystery to me.
