This site https://www.gurufocus.com/economic_indicators/4534/inflation-adjusted-gold-price-adjusted-to-todays-dollar shows the price of gold more clearly. Note that prices start going up with the election and spike further with the trade war. Here is the Biden administration. Note that prices...

Lots of fluctuations, but little change overall change on Monday. What do you attribute the big losses in the stock market since Trump started going ahead with tariffs?

Gold is going up because of uncertainty about the value of the dollar amidst Trump's disruptive trade policies. Have you seen of any of these win/win deals? An agreement to set tariffs to 0 would be a win/win but would also contradict what Trump said he was trying to achieve. What are Nike's...

What was the positive news?

I have you put your money on a bet that tariff increases will cause the market to go up? I pulled my 401K out immediately, limiting my losses. Do you have any evidence that the losses were driven by short-sellers?

What are you talking about? In a short squeeze, the price of a stock goes up as the short-sellers need to cover their positions. Stocks have been gone down substantially. Short-selling can have a significant effect on an individual stock, but it does not have a significant effect on the market...

I am glad to see that you support the separation of powers. The legislative branch makes the laws, the judicial branch interprets the laws and the executive branch executes the laws. A conservative legal group has sued to overturn Trump's unconstitutional arrogation of law-making power. You can...

The American people will suffer repercussions as his illegal tax increases on imports tip the US economy into a recession.

The Supreme Court did hear the case and decided that the President could not be sued personally. And this case involved the President enforcing a law not ignoring a law.

Except in the rare cases where the Supreme Court has original jurisdiction, cases go to the "inferior" court first. The Trump administration can go directly to the Supreme Court to ask them to suspend the actions of district court judge, but it is rare for the Supreme Court to intervene in that...

The Federal judiciary has the authority to interpret the law, not the executive branch. The Supreme Court reminded everyone of that last year in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loper_Bright_Enterprises_v._Raimondo when it overturned the Chevron doctrine, much to the consternation of the left. If...

Have you ever acknowledged that the President can exceed his authority? The problem is that Trump has issued executive orders that violate statutes or the Constitution. For example, the deportations that injoined by Judge Boasberg, were based upon the Alien Enemies act allowing the deportation...

What was the President's authority to send the plane outside the normal deportation procedure? The DHS should have advised the lawyers for the deportees of their intention to use this new legal justification and waited for a court hearing before putting them in the air.

The Democrats had a bad practice of interpreting laws in such a way as to create effectively new bodies of law not written by Congress. The Supreme court recently overturned the Chevron doctrine which tolerated such actions. However, Trump is now doing the same thing. For example he declared a...

Those are not rogue judges. The Constitution says the job of the President is to execute the law faithfully. If the President ignores the law, judges have a duty to stop them. Laws can be changed but they can't be ignored. I don't expect a President to fix everything a blink. However, Trump...

Fixing the WC/SSA problem would require better coordination with the states and probably legislation to incentivize states to provide better quality information. Trump didn't fix this problem from 2017 to 2020. DOGE hasn't done anything about it and most of the claims of savings from DOGE don't...

This is what the audit report you reference said. They are not talking about fraud or any kind of criminality. I suspect the most Workmen's Compensation beneficiaries assume the Social Security adjusts their benefits automatically.

All persons in the United States have due process rights. Asylum seekers did not come here illegally, most presented themselves at the border in accordance with US law. And Trump deported them using the Alien Enemies act which only applies to countries we are at war with.

According to that report, the improper payments were less than 1% of the total paid and it does not say that it was fraud.
