Transparency

Whenever Trump is asked a direct question about Giuliani’s activities vis-a-vis Ukraine, he sidesteps it, immediately squashing the question and redirects into a subject having little to do with the substance of the question itself.

"They're Laughing at Us"

Trump again embarrassed himself and his Country, this time at a NATO Summit press conference with Emmanuel Macron.

What started as a recovery from the worst economic recession since The Great Depression during the 2nd half of Barak Obama’s first term, continued on into the 2016 election, which graced us with Donald Trump as our 45th President, as a full-on Bull Market. His tax cuts on corporate profits laced bull’s feed with copious amounts of amphetamines, which shifted the recovery into hyperdrive. The markets will, as they always do, correct themselves to more appropriate values, but like a speeding train, it takes some time to harness enough gravity for them to slow down. Trump’s economic policy pushed the Financial Markets to levels which far exceed the values of their underlying constituents, giving them much further to fall when the bubble bursts.
