A lose-lose situation for both the US and an ally nation who had committed to investing in many hundreds of BILLIONS into our country. Shame. www.kedglobal.com/business-pol...

Our closest neighbor to the north: almost as many Canadians consider the US to be the top threat (59%) than those who see us as the top ally (56%).
Our closest neighbor to the south: almost twice as many Mexicans (68%) see us as the top threat than as the key ally (37%).
Worrisome.

Elon Musk, DOGE claim to have achieved $150B in savings, a figure that isn't verifiable.
Even if we believe the $150B savings, it hasn't even made a dent in federal gov't spending.
In fact, Trump'25 is outspending Biden'24, even with all of the so-called cuts.
BTW, this is from the WSJ.

Dow fell 1000 yesterday.
Most major indexes resumed their slide.
"Upswing" from tariff pause news lasted <1 day.
Last week's sell-off in the bond market was already concerning.
Dow futures down 200 as we speak.
Dollar at decade low vs. other currencies.
Where do we go from here?

Did a few/some/many politicians or others connected with the current administration buy stocks *minutes* before Trump announced the tariff pause?
Minutes before. Think about that.
Who would know that the tariffs would he paused, minutes before they are announced by Trump?

What is the end game to these tit-for-tat tariffs between the US and China?
If American corporations somehow build factories overnight and bring jobs back, and the tariffs somehow end, why won't executives then move jobs back overseas where wages are lower?
We all will pay the price.

The public's trust of professionals continues to decline across the board. Between 2019-23, trust in dentists decreased from 61% to 59%, nurses 85% to 78%, bankers 26% to 19%, and Congressmen 12% to 6%. The only increase (by 1%) was for labor union leaders. Distrust exists everywhere in society.

On the morning after the election, my 8-year-old daughter had tears in her eyes and asked if I would be deported back to Korea. This is the new reality.
