The ever higher market valuations, favorable jobs reports & capital investment announcements are just incipient trend lines originating from mundane, yet critically important changes in regulation & trade.
Yet, to understand why these factors are relevant is to recognize that everyone is trying to get on board now. When Trump's platform & supporters capture Congress in 2018, then we're going to really be off to the races, so everyone is trying to get in on the ground floor today.f
If one has any perspective, they come to realize that the US really is a unique animal. Just the right mix of legal process, property rights, innovation and thuggery. We're not overly effete like Japan & W Europe, but we're also not so unrefined as MENA. What this means is that the US represents an incredible miasma of economic activity. We've managed somehow to stay afloat while actively being strangled.
Now consider if those deserving of merit are finely let loose, what do imagine will happen? That's what the market movements are reflecting: that MAGA is going to open up a torrent of economic activity & innovation.
I agree. But it’s like Bannon said, “if anyone believes the establishment is going to give up without a fight they are mistaken”. Part of the fight is manipulating the discussion to try and take out Trump’s team. That’s what the Flynn thing was, and it’s what the McMaster thing is. The Thomas Wictor tweets are a view from 10,000 feet of the weeds on the ground. He shows so much of the “news” (weeds) about McMaster is contradictory. The problem is people getting stuck staring at weeds and ignoring the big picture.
I think as far as Russia is concerned, you’re 100% correct.
I’m very concerned over the NORK situation. If Trump acts, McTurd, Feinstein, Paul & others will scream “warmonger.”
If he doesn’t other Ds and RINOs will say “He’s neglectful.”
