The Trumpty Dumpty Report
During the
G-20, Trump wasn’t invited to play with the other bully world dictators. He
felt hurt that MBS (Saudi prince) and Putin gave each other the secret
handshake without including him. Pouty faced Trump told his aide, “Get me outa
here!” because he was left out of the Bully Boy Gangsta club.
But Trump tried to make the
best of it by meeting with China’s President Xi. Xi felt sorry for the Cretin-in-Chief
and pretended to raise the idea that maybe, just maybe, China would agree to
some sort of negotiation of terms to lower the impact of the current trade war.
Yet, Trump seems to be ignoring the fact that China owns around $1.5T in U.S.
treasuries issued when George W. Bush sold them to China in order to fund his
Iraq/Afghanistan wars because Congress didn’t pony up the costs through higher
taxes or war bonds, therefore, the war costs were borrowed from China. And now,
they have serious leverage when they decide to play that card, which could
trigger a major economic depression.
The idea that Trump had
this idiotic belief that the two had a meaningful discussion is hilarious.
Trump’s pompous bravado was illustrated when he recently said, “Not to sound
naïve or anything, but I believe President Xi meant every word of what he said
at our long and hopefully historic meeting. ALL subjects discussed!” Then the
Dow Jones Industrial Averages dropped 800 points! The markets know that
President Chump is naïve and has no clue. Trump calling himself the “Tariff
Man” is a foolhardy negotiating tactic, but President Fool can’t seem to stay
out of the quick sand. He touted “an incredible deal” “long and good” yet there
was no there-there. For Trump the idea that a no-deal, is an incredible deal
has always been part of his imaginary play. And now, Trump says that maybe he
won’t agree with a China trade deal after all. “It all depends.”
What Wall Street is
freaking out about may be a bit about the Huawei executive arrested in
Vancouver, B.C, and now, being extradited to the U.S. for violating Iranian
sanctions, but it is more likely the markets are now collapsing into negative
territory for 2018, i.e., erasing gains made in 2018 and now creeping into
2017, because they are realizing that Trump is the most incompetent president
ever and a danger to America. The markets are mostly reacting to tariffs, tax
cuts for the rich, trade wars, and mounting risky corporate debt. Also, we are
seeing collateralized debt obligations becoming a problem as we did prior to
the 2008 economic depression. This is what happens when Bush, Paulson, Bernanke
failed to break up the Too-Big-Too-Fail banks, and Shadow Banks, and investment
firms can resume their dangerous collateralizing of debt tricks.
We have heard from another
White Nationalist Party House member from Kansas, Congressman Estes, who
downplayed the disastrous erosion of personal wealth invested in stock market
retirement plans. Estes said, “The American people want us to get things done.”
He also said that the markets go up and down. And since July, they have been
going up and down. That is what they do according to Estes.
What kind of propagandistic
bullshit is this idiot shoveling onto America’s household wealth? The market is
NOT fluctuating as they do! The market is collapsing. And, in addition, the
fiscal prediction for 2019 is a likely recession and global slowdown.
Regarding Estes’ “get
things done”, the mantra from McConnell and the rest of the White Nationalist
Party members have pledged to NOT EVER negotiate with Democrats. This is the
continuation of Newt Gingrich’s ‘No compromise position’ began back during the
Clinton presidency, and continues today in Congress. Estes saying he wants to
work with Democrats, when the White Nationalist Party has focused to NOT work
with Democrats on much of anything.
So, since Estes is
bullshitting us about the massive losses on Wall Street, and now about working
with Democrats, what other bullshit will we hear from his mouth and the mouth
of his fellow Congressional White Nationalists? As Trump says repeatedly, “We
will have to see.”
