The highly visible left flank of the Democratic Party, fully embracing socialism in name and approach, erupted with proposals that would drastically change the country in ways they intend and many more in ways they do not.

Meanwhile, the Republican Party’s debt from its Faustian bargain with President Donald Trump began to come due.

All political winds from both directions are blowing AGAINST Wall Street, and it appears they don’t like that one bit.

“All political winds from both directions are blowing AGAINST Wall Street, and it appears they don’t like that one bit.”

That is absolutely not true - the market is hitting all time highs almost daily. Wall Street should be giving Trump and those who elected him a medal and a huge bonus.

The guy that wrote this drivel is a moron incapable of distinguishing the hand that feeds him from the one that chokes him.

It’s not protectionism. The Trump Administration is making more sustainable trade deals. There’s no sense in continuing the balance of payments deficits that contribute to the madly increasing debts. Everyone would lose. Importers who relied on the sinking import-heavy economy should consider shifting to alternative products or sources for distribution.
