{quote} They got it directly from Trump's mouth. He said it on other occasions also. This week Trump said, "Powell's termination can't come soon enough". It's not the media's fault Trump says stupid stuff. He is on video saying stupid stuff. Trump also called Powell “Mr. Too Late,” saying an unidentified “many” were calling for pre-emptive rate cuts. Just days ago, Trump said Powell’s termination can’t come soon enough, which seemed to be a reaction to Powell’s warning that tariffs would lead to higher rates and slower growth. https://www.barrons.com/articles/tru...feed&st=oTvTFS...
It's hard for me to express myself.
What I'm trying to say is that everyone knows he's just talking and putting on a show and circus for the people and the MAGA cult.

I don't think anyone outside of them actually believes he'll fire Powell.
Somehow the media spread s these absurdities exactly like they did during COVID. I assume you remember that the same kind of nonsense and anomalies were being said then too, and the press took everything at face value.
The man speaks publicly purely for show. Probably, in private, he's a different person.
It's impossible for me to believe that Trump actually believes what he says.

The problem is people dont take the stupid stuff he says, as what he means. People try to be a Trump Whisperer. They begrudge the people who take him at his word. Well guess what, he says what he means. Look at the tariffs, look at the investigations of the political rivals, look at the IRS autopsy investigations of Comey. He always has people saying he didnt mean what he said. Like he is a autistic child cursing in public. Those people are now having buyers remorse. The stupid stuff he says, he means. Anyone who could cancel his nephews health insurance. So his nephews sick kid had none. Has no problem screwing others. Just ask his nephew. Or ask his niece, Mary who is a real psychologist. Ask her for a diagnosis. These people know the real guy.

You can't possibly take what he says seriously. it's not like I'm defending him, he simply acts crazy.
Just like when he said to drink bleach against the coronavirus. I mean, can a sane person say something like that?
They can't, so he's just putting on a show and saying idiotic things in public either on purpose or out of boredom,
but it's impossible to believe that it should have been taken seriously and that people were supposed to drink bleach.

1/3 of the people do take him serious. Look at Jan 6. He meant what he said. Even the crazy stuff. The Philippines had a 3 branch government similar to the U.S. They lost it for a while too. Hungary lost it to a dictator. They all start out calling the media fake. "You can only trust me" BS. In Germany it took 6 weeks. Add in some book burning, and "these people are causing your ills". And it's all lost
Russia and countless others. Even modern China now. No need for elections.

{quote} I don’t think there was ever a real possibility of Powell being fired. I don’t understand where the media gets this crap from. Then they say markets are going up because Powell isn’t being fired, it’s exhausting to listen to CNBC. Same broken record. Companies today are still reporting good results, well above expectations, and most importantly, the majority are maintaining their full-year guidance. Anyway, I went long again on EUR/USD after selling it this morning.
Adding to this longs with stops below 1.127 will add more if we start going up

I agree, the only thing is if behind all closed doors, all noise all circus all show there is a strategy.
So far I don't see one except for a big Chaos. We need deals deals deals. India, Japan, Korea, Europe. at this point can he just put 1-2 deals from 110 countries that He says they can't wait to make a deal.

Fortunately or unfortunately, I have known 5 good con artist. 1 died young, another owns a mega church. The third is a serial killer. I was once, or maybe still on his death list. He was on death row, but now life. The dead one used to steal dead peoples (graveyard) info to get a drivers licence. Then he would open a checking account in the person's name. Over the weekend he would rent a big Uhaul truck. Then go shopping paying for it all with a check. He bought 5k lawnmowers, 4 wheelers, womens purses or whatever to fill 100k$ + the truck. He would then sell whatever he bought cheaper than retail. The forth would go to Israel to vacation and buy expensive stuff, watches, jewelry etc. on the credit card. This was when it was done with paper. He would later claim his card was stolen. He did about 20 years in a NY jail. The 5th one started a Ponzi scheme, He ended up with about 50m. My point being, I have known some con men. They all dressed well or talked well excluding the serial killer.
The hardest thing to admit sometimes is, you were conned. This is how a con man is able to do it.

Tariffs are a tax on Americans. He just dont get it. American companies who are not paying his tariffs. Will just raise their product price closer to the import price. The consumer American pays.

Today finally he told the truth. The tariff is added to the price.
https://www.axios.com/2025/04/23/tru...ariffs-bessent


Of note: Trump acknowledged that the high, triple-digit tariffs effectively shut trade between the two nations.

  1. "It basically means China is not doing any business with us, essentially, because it's a very high number. So when you add that to the price of a product, a lot of those products aren't going to sell," Trump said.
