all the tros against Trump have been bogus. It is a constitutional crisis when rogue corrpt judges try to take away plenary power of the executive branch. The fact Biden had less than a handful in 4 years and Trump already has more in 1 month is telling of the corruption of the left.
Biden stole an election, his family are all crooks.

the branches take power from each other all the time. its never been a CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS until now. you guys need to tone down the rhetoric. Its ok to "just" say, "this is bad, and needs to stop"; but the chicken little nonsense makes you hard to take seriously.

any Executive Order that isn't directed at a government agency is a step too far by the president.
Any agency redefining the laws without Congressional backing, is a step too far.
any "investigation" by Congress beyond an impeachment is a step too far by the legislative.
any judge telling either Congress or the president how to spend money, outside of a contract dispute, is a step too far.

this board was begging the justices to take action on various Biden actions. talking about how they were each and every one unconstitutional, and how the president's power isn't absolute. I remember a lot of complaints about the pardons and the last minute spending. but there were plenty of calls for the judiciary to get involved on others.

He is getting what he wants. The Mexican Government finally has developed a backbone and is getting serious with the cartels. Interesting they are doing it now…..could it be tariffs have had their targeted response?

Look for Trump to start backing off on Mexico. It would not shock me if that is mentioned tonight.

Another Dub for Trump!!!

I’m seeing the stock market, losing all kinds of wealth and all kinds of things are getting upended and I don’t even know what the endgame is here. What exactly needs to happen for him to end these tariffs?

Simplistic Resonse…..

Each tariff is independent. For Mexico, as an example, they had to get serious cartels and their distribution of fentanyl. Additionally, they needed to cut down on making it easy for immigrants to come thru their country into ours.

They have done both of those things, hence, I think you will see Trump lighten up on them relatively soon.

This will elevate us continuing to burden our economy of things other countries should be doing.

The stock market wants a vision. I think Trump will provide that tonight which will help. I do anticipate us to go thru some rough waters over the next couple of months. It has taken us four years to get where we are right now. You can’t flip the switch and expect an immediate turnaround. I look at the market occasionally but really focus on it about every quarter. I am in for the long-haul and that strategy has served me well thru the years.

In a blockbuster deal that could shift the balance of power in global port operations, a consortium of U.S. private equity firm BlackRock and MSC of Geneva has agreed to purchase the non-Chinese assets of Hong Kong-based subsidiary Hutchison Port Holdings, including terminals at the ports of Balboa and Cristobal in Panama.

The news follows disputed claims by President Donald Trump that the Chinese military was controlling the Panama Canal, and that American vessels were being cheated on transit tolls. Trump also threatened U.S. action to wrest control of the waterway, a key route for military and merchant vessels between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, which was handed over to Panama in 1999.
In a release, Hutchison (0001.HK) denied that the sale was a result of political pressure.
The U.S. on Tuesday doubled to 20% tariffs on Chinese goods in an effort to force Beijing to stop the flow of fentanyl into the U.S.
The deal announced Tuesday will see the consortium BlackRock-TiL acquire 90% of Hutchison’s stake in the Panama facilities as well as the China company’s 80% controlling interest in 199 berths at 43 ports in 23 countries.
BlackRock’s (NYSE: BLK) Global Infrastructure Partners unit partnered on the $22.8 billion deal with Terminal Investment Limited (TiL), backed by MSC, the world’s largest ocean container line. It does not include HPH port properties in Hong Kong or China.
It was not immediately clear how the sale to MSC would affect operations of competing liner operators at former Hutchison ports.
The sale is subject to approval by the government of Panama.
