The dumbass PROVES it, time and again…He doesn’t have a clue…

 

Trump’s comments about the military and the bond market betray his economic illiteracy

The president, in a rather literal sense, just doesn’t know what he’s talking about when it comes to economic policies he really ought to understand.

“The yields have come back up since [Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s initial intervention in the bond market],” a reporter reminded the president. “Have you talked to him about another type of intervention? Is that something he will be doing?”

Trump replied, “We have many types of intervention. That’s one. The ultimate intervention is our military, and if we have to use that, we will.”

WTF?

If this were simply a matter of dishonesty and deception, it would be easier to understand. After all, Trump’s reputation as a prolific liar is well deserved and has been earned over the course of many years.

But his comments about “the ultimate intervention” being “our military” when asked about bond yields are a qualitatively different kind of problem: The president, in a rather literal sense, just doesn’t know what he’s talking about when it comes to economic policies he really ought to understand.

Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

Yahoo…Dotard’s Big Beautiful Diesel Deal pissed off Ukraine and most of the world, plus well over half of Congress and the US, BUT, it helped his buddy Putin and his partners in Big Oil, sooo, we can see where the dick’s priorities are.

  President Donald Trump’s diesel deal with Russia would supply the global market with 4.8 million metric tons, or nearly 36 million barrels total.  This is equivalent to a little more than a single day of global demand.  The U.S. is a net diesel exporter so it does not need Russian supply, said Andy Lipow, president of Lipow Oil Associates. Goldman Sachs estimated the initial Russian release would only reduce wholesale diesel prices by $1 to $2 per barrel, which is currently at approximately $200/barrel.
