The first 60 days of the presidency

 It is often said that an American President has 100 days after the election as a kind of "Honey Moon".    The score for the current holder of the job is not too good, nevermind the court reverting about 90% of what DOGE did as illegal.  But the fumbling of the ball has been rather spectacular.

Trump this morning will receive his first real piece of legislation from Congress, something to do with cryptocurrencies...

Then of course there is the daily commentaries, completed and utter bullshit,.   Unsurprisingly, the Department of health has become an anti-vaxer hotbed with a rather serious outbreak of measles in Texas.   A few children have already died, apparently, and I find this incredible to hear. The mother of one of the two children who died said that his sacrifice was worth it against the crusade against vaccines.   As they say you cannot cure stupid.

The latest trouble is the invitation on Signal (A Russian-owned and controlled competitor to WhatsApp) of a journalist. Not only did the administration fumble the ball on that little gem, but in addition, it also reveals that the real names of CIA agents were revealed.

The outcome is not at all surprising; the truth is that if you hire people to be meat puppets, you get idiots. In addition, Trump has the attention span of a gnat.

The next 1,029 days are going to be long....but who is counting

what people get wrong about tariffs

 The issue is simple. What percentage of the economy is dependent on tariff goods? The truth, is that the US economy is far more closed than people understand. People genuinely believe that all manufacturing has ceased to exist in the United States all given to China on the altar of woke policy the truth can be further from That statement. Only about 15% of US GDP is related to foreign trade. Of that amount, slightly more than half is from Canada in Mexico. And half of that is energy. What that means, is that about 7% of US GDP is tariff dependent. The proof in the pudding, is how little money tariff generates. People think that 30 or 50 billion is a lot it’s not in an economy that has $3 trillion. The impact on the US economy will be less visible but not absent. Inflation hasn’t occurred yet first because tests have hardly started to bite, but more importantly it’s such a small percent of the economy. Now certain things are critical. The rare earth metals from China were critical....

The end of Tesla?

 it takes a special kind of idiot, to think that he can antagonize his entire customer base, and think that it will not impact his business. When Elon Musk went to work for Donald Trump, and created the doge department, he antagonized every liberal, and these people represent 90% of his client base.That’s not a brilliant move. Now Elon Musk is worth hundreds of billions of dollar, so he shouldn’t care a great deal, however, he needs to care because of several other issues. The cyber truck has been a disaster, most have had to be recalled because of defective glue, it’s not a truck, it’s not a car, it’s noisy, relatively uncomfortable, but great as a development platform. What Tesla has learned in making car manufacturing more seamless is truly amazing. The problem was that Elon Musk was so pissed with the Democrats, and with Joe Biden, in particular because of some slight, which were just plain stupid too. By the way, that he decided to support with hundreds of millions of dollar, ...

Trump and Venezuela...

The US now owns Venezuela…and not in a good way.  America is not known for its nation building skills, and yet it now owns the disaster that is Venezuela.   Starvation and exodus are the natural progression.   In addition it will become a haven for narco-terrorists, more so than it already was. I am sure that Trump and his friends really thought that little attack very well…I guess that he will now attack Iran now.
