Rethink all you want....Harris is TOP of ticket—for the moment-— Vance is not.

Do not trust this guy with your investments.

Lol….the FT actually describes, in writing, the radical Harris as “ more moderate” than JD Vance?

Full. Stop.

Buyer beware of the Financial Times. If they lie and deceive in this case they are suspect in all cases.

The Financial Times (FT) is a British daily newspaper printed in broadsheet and also published digitally that focuses on business and economic current affairs. Based in London, the paper is owned by a Japanese holding company, Nikkei... It is a noted bullsheet operation, as this article proves once again.

The market will go down as Kamala’s daily polls go up.
