You know very well

In the last 12 months The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq 100 are up about 5%, basically keeping pace with inflation while Gold is up 40%. This means that everyone is dumping the US dollar and moving to gold. The only reason the big indexes are not down is because of stupid money, 401k contributions every two weeks. You are being robbed blind. Like Paul said the day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night.

Why is it that we know this perfectly well? Because we ourselves have been robbed by them, just look at your own experience. Look at Social security, look at the waste and fraud of the US government, look at the mortgage meltdown of 2008. It was absolutely criminal and yet not a single person from the US went to jail.

1 Thessalonians 5:2 for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

The stock market in Europe is gaining, bankers are seeing interest in investing in Europe and the EU nations are advertising employment opportunities to scientist and other professionals loosing their jobs in the US. Nations who are investing in military spending need everything from steel and aluminum to foods for MRE's. The EU nations will buy the steel,aluminum and oil from Canada and the food and other things from Mexico to build up it's military with instead of shipping them elsewhere and buy their own goods from their own companies. The tariffs will help the EU end old trade deals and arrange new ones and in the end will help the EU.
Everything should be measured in a single standard of value. Years ago the US dollar was a reasonable measure, but no more. Use gold as a standard measure of value. Is the stock market up relative to the price of gold? If not all you are looking at is inflation. If the stock market is up 20% in some currency and inflation is 20% in that country it isn't up at all, it is flat.

1 Thessalonians 5:4 But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief.

Trump never went to his economics class on International Trade if he went to any classes at all.
Why would the EU after being told to build up their own military and defend themselves sell their raw materials to anyone when their about to need them their own self? You don't sell the things you need to build up your military to other nations you do the opposite you buy them. It looks like having a college degree in economics is of no benefit at the moment.

I think he thought the allies would just submit, cower in fear, he overplayed his hand and now the USA will pay for the consequences.

A leader with a lot of pride (aka narcissism) tends to not think rationally but more about only winning the game without really thinking/caring about how it affects people.
The word bellicose is seeing a resurgence these days.

You're clueless what pride means.
Liberals not only are prideful and arrogant but they're backstabbers.
In your face they portray themselves as caring and loving while they stick the knife in your back.
They're like snakes.

So when you liberals are faced with a true man who tells it like it is, you are in shock ... naturally.

Do you have information on the specific raw materials that Europe is selling?

I'm meaning the EU's economy. It is beginning to boom after the decision to build up their military's and shifting to depend on the US. https://www.reuters.com/markets/eur...again-trades-are-gaining-traction-2025-03-31/

Triggerness is evident when declarative statements which have truth value (historical veracity) and are not disputable are given a disagree.

"Nation States are relatively new to human history"

On what conspiracy channel they show this, i'm curious?
Because i'd like to ask them about Athens and Sparta.

How deep in the rabbit hole are you really where you have no clue about history anymore?

BTW, that was ONLY the gold that David prepared for the sake of building God's temple via the son of peace, the wise king Solomon (a type of Christ the coming King of Peace and a type of the reign of Christ in the millennium).
David also prepared an incredible......1,000,000 talents of silver and massive quantities of bronze and iron as well.

David also contributed another 300 tons of his own personal gold in 1 Chron 29.

Yes, David was zealous for the house of the Lord his God.

What threat did Iran pose to the USA?
I never said they did; but, since you asked-
They're like the world's #1 manufacturer of Jihadis to begin with. Islam is an inherently dangerous political ideology. Not wanting them to have anything nuclear at all is pretty reasonable; but perhaps unrealistic. Not wanting them to have nuclear weapons is common sense. It may be prudent to actively prevent that. Exactly how that should be accomplished, I'm not certain.
He withdrew from the nuclear deal during his first term which was in place, why is that?
He withdrew from the nuclear deal, because he didn't believe they were keeping their side of the deal. I doubt Trump's idea of a "good" nuclear deal is the same as Obama's.

If anyone is bellicose these days, it's left. Still triggered. Trying to start another summer of love.

Imagine how far off from reality these people are in the political arena where they say that a non-citizen can vote.
This is why they allow legal marriage to an animal and call the goat "your wife".
Very confused people.

I bet if I asked around, not a even single person would know what that word means- but usually when something impractical comes back into fashion, it's because of some crazy liberals.
Only for him, there are plenty of economists who see it for what it is, most people are captured by his promise of future golden days.
If he says it it must be true. :rolleyes:
You've got It twisted. Everybody knows Trump is a salesman- but even as a salesman he was and continues to better than the absolutely terrible alternatives. Of course if you take that sober attitude into a rally, it makes for a boring rally... but if we judge a movement by how they act at a rally; then I would suppose Harris supporters are just a bunch of pole-dancing skanks.... which is probably <100% true.
