What specifically is something you believe she is wrong about in economics?
One example is the fact that she doesn't understand how people use money. Tariffs only increase prices on foreign goods. When the price of goods go up, people either stop buying or substitute lower price items. She doesn't take into account human behavior.
Further, she makes statements without any underlying facts as though they are true. She gives enough truth to be correct on some things, but the conclusions she extrapolates from the truth isn't necessarily true.

Folks in Europe & other nations are getting fake news from Globalist Elites; tragic that real true news is censored.
Nope, maby you listen to much conspiracy theories. I am not shure who is more censored. If you not belong to the Trump Camp you must be careful to telling your meaning.
It is sad to see that your nation is split in Rep and Dem. And no One is there to try to Reunion this great nation.
It seems also that plays Trump the willing tool of Putin. And why? because of Material interest.
No fake news!

You know what jumps out at you with all the JFK stuff?

NO ONE thought he was murdered because it was fomented by Republicans or Conservatives. NO ONE thought a conservative or Republican had ANYTHING to do with it. NONE of that type of dividing talk took place. The country united around their President being shot at and assassinated.

Juxtapose that with the hate filled, despicable Democrats and the left, and their media allies that were not only disappointed at the failed attempts to murder President Trump, but CONTINUE to call for, and perpetrate violence against him, his supporters, and anyone that isn't in allegiance with their sick, twisted, satanic vision for America.

If I were in the press room I would want to know about the war in the Mid East with Hamas, Yemen, Hezbollah and Iran. It seems it is ramping up full speed, as well as the war in Ukraine with empty promises for a peace. It reminds me of one of those cage matches where Ukraine and Russia kill each other off while NATO sits in the wings ready to jump in at the last minute. And of course we are witnessing the rise of the Beast system in this war as drone swarms of hundreds of drones get tested in real world battle situations. That is what I would like to hear more about, especially with the price of gold taking off indicating that all the elites are filling up the lifeboats.

What do we hear instead? 80,000 pages about JFK.

BREAKING: Attorney General Pam Bondi has just issued a scathing court filing rejecting the notion - from Judge Boasberg - that the judiciary is superior to the president when it comes to foreign policy.

CORRECT. "The underlying premise of these orders, including the most recent one requiring the production of these facts ex parte today at noon, is that the Judicial Branch is superior to the Executive Branch, particularly on non-legal matters involving foreign affairs and national security.

The Government disagrees." "The two branches are coequal, and the Court’s continued intrusions into the prerogatives of the Executive Branch, especially on a non-legal and factually irrelevant matter, should end."

MORE BELOW: "What began as a dispute between litigants over the President’s authority to protect the national security and manage the foreign relations of the United States pursuant to both a longstanding Congressional authorization and the President’s core constitutional authorities has devolved into a picayune dispute over the micromanagement of immaterial factfinding." "In a series of orders this Court has requested the Government to provide it details about the movements of aircraft outside of the United States and interactions with foreign nations which have no bearing on any legal issue at stake in the case." "The Court’s pending questions relate to a comment by the Court to a Government attorney suggesting, incorrectly, that the attorney had the ability to divert aircraft..."

She actually provides data that is a lot more than what most people do. :rolleyes:

Economic models are about predicting, extrapolating and looking at present and future trends.
Economists generally do not make statements about "truth" that is just silly, but rather what the models indicate.

While of course there is unpredictability in human behaviour, a lot of the various scenarios are modeled out in the analysis.

Having stated it looks like she is a "trader" and is part of a firm, selling a service so probably good to keep that in mind.

I think the term "MAGA" is too broad. There are always people who will jump on the bandwagon of a victor. So many who now are vocally supporting Trump are very likely weak men. But this was not the case during the Stop the Steal rallies in 2020 and 2021.
People caught up the left/right dichotomy are not strong people, they are just people in silos with a huge dose of confirmation bias.

It is those who step outside the artificial paradigm and raise a voice against evil at great personal cost, when most people support that evil and normalize it, those are the true strong men.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer comes to mind, maybe even Julian Assange and maybe even some present day journalists being detained in the UK for speaking truth to power.

Not usually, but I had a few spare moments. She isn't all bad. She does warn people to be self-sufficient and to be prepared, but she doesn't understand economics.
What i meant was that anything from the low-quality troll member called "Introspection" is not worth entertaining since he can't put two words together.
He did make a funny joke though on one topic so far where he said that the devil is infiltrating country music and turning it into rock music.
That was a good joke and made me laugh so i give him credit when credit is due.
But for the rest he's like a mute broken record.

Sometimes value can be found in the least likely of places. Watching the video was far from the worst 5 minutes of my life. And English may not be his first language, so he might have trouble communicating.

This is textbook Donald. I've been watching his interviews for a long time, even before he got into politics. Every time someone opposes him or does something he doesn't like, he doesn't explain what they did that was so wrong, he only says they're against me. Then he tries to delegitimize them: they're horrible people, lowest form of life, crooked, bad, cheaters; you name it, he says it. That's why he's always feuding with someone. He's played and manipulated people for years with this tactic and he still is.

Keep watching, it won't be long before he manages to start a feud with John Roberts; though I suspect Roberts has sense enough and the self-control to not take the bait.

I guess we would be better off with 4 more years of open borders, higher taxes, boys pretending to be girls, bloated ngo's lining Marxist pockets, giving money to Iran to help their nuke program and now im tired but those that can think can find many more examples to add to the corrupt communist party that some seem to love.

This are 2 different things. To do something against your above mentioned points is one thing. To rule as King and discriminate and punish people who have not the same view is another.

Rule as king? Deporting criminals, exposing government corruption, saying boys cannot be in girls locker rooms or trying to stop a war that has cost thousands of lifes and billions of US dollars. I will take King Trump any day if thats his new title. Hitler, nazi, oligarc, its hard to keep up.

I'm glad to see you are studying the Donald Trump textbook, maybe you will learn something.

You have not only watched President Trump for a long time. You have been fixated and consumed by him, and those that want the AMERICAN President to actually put AMERICA first.

Kinda creepy actually.
