When the tariffs were originally announced my stock and bonds portfolio dropped around 10%. Now it's worth more than when the tariffs were first announced. It's gone up. So something must be working.

All that matters is the bottom line. Keep an eye on the bottom line.

In the U.S. inflation rose last month to its highest level since February. Consumer prices rose 2.7% in June from a year earlier. This will only get worse as the full impact of tariffs unfolds.

Poor big orange Baby ! He is sad because Canadians don't travel to USA and don't drink American Whiskey !
And he wonder why !
His 2 working brain cells are too busy with the Epstein problem.
Today he is accusing Obama of having organised a Coup against him. The Vice President J. D. Vance once told that all University Professors should be fired !
He is in line with the Orange Clown that has been telling that he likes the non-educated. Normal, they vote for him !

Think of all those idiot cult members happy to moan how everyone was suffering from DTS... I see no difference between a Trump worshiper and a flat earther. Same intellect.

On the employment situation in USA, I just heard on RDI that in the last months under Biden administration, around 370 000 jobs were created each month.
Now under the Orange Clown administration in the last 3 months, extremely low numbers of jobs have been created. Around 35 000 jobs per month !

Did any of you entitied ingrates stop to think that creation of jobs is slowing for reasons having nothing to do with politics? Many industries are downsizing and phasing out jobs due to AI. This is going to increase no matter who is President. All of you who believe that you are entitled to have jobs created for you ought to look in a mirror, because you are all replaceable peons, whose jobs can and will be taken over by automated systems. Some of you may soon have no value. Even me. Although I use AI in my job to draft interrogatories, I am still needed to think of certain interrogatories that the AI doesn't know to ask because of facts beyond the complaint. So I still have some limited utility in supplementing AI in performing a task. By the time I retire, that limited utility may start slipping away, but that is for the next generation of entitied persons to worry about.

To also believe that any President can change this fate is to believe that you are more than specks of dust that are replaceable. And you really should start thinking with more humility. If you have a job, be happy that you still do!

It is so amazing to be retired lol.
Everyday is a vacation.
Now I wake up, look out the window, watch people going off to work, smile and then go back to bed.

I have around 8 years to go and will not be replaced by AI in that time. I look forward to it. My stock portfolio will hopefully continue to grow and support my mandatory inherited IRA RMDs and social security income. Which I plan to take at age 70.

There will be a day coming in the future when AI has replaced most jobs and unemployment and overpopulation will overwhelm all nations. A new virus pandemic could wipe out enough population to minimize the issue, but I doubt it.

Evidently the Orange clown doesn't agree with because he fired today the reponsible of his administration for jobs creation statistics !
He didn't blame AI as you do !

It doesn't matter, you have to see through the politics to what is actually happening in the real world with jobs. It's an AI takeover! The people like you who fool themselves into believing that Presidents can be blamed or credited for creating or not creating jobs are beyond naive. All of the jobs that people used to do can and will be done by robots, computers, and AI. Back in 1968 the brilliant science fiction film 2001: A Space Odyssey forecast the AI takeover. Nobody paid attention and now it's upon us! All of you will soon know who is boss just like Dave found out in this classic scene:

It's not AI that's at play here although it will be someday in the future. Employers are holding back because of the impact of tariffs, inflation, and possible recession. This is largely a trump self-inflicted wound to America and the world.

Agree 100% ! MAGA Cultists will twist themselves like licorice candies to defend their Cult leader !
I just saw that Ghislaine Maxwell has bien transfered to a minimum security detention center in Texas, following the 2 days visit in her maximum prison by Trump's former personnel layer in his New-York trial about Hush money payed To Stormy Daniel.
I think that she either decided to lie about Trump role in under age girl abuse by Epstein or "being" suicided like Epstein in her cell !
