Damn, David-yer politics are purty much choking out yer formerly-pertinent economic observations.

I'm no Trumptard, cautioned my Trumpian-minded wife from day 1 that nobody gets into the billionaire club unless compromised somehow.

Having a difficult time finishing your articles the past several weeks.

PLEASE-knock off the TDS crap and just write your analysis like you so capably used to do.

Gee, I thought I went extra easy on Trump on this one. Only mentioned him here once in my own comments. Just stayed entirely with economics. Since tariffs are all about economics and will have a massive impact on the economy, I am sure I will be covering their impact for months to come as their damage plays out--in lost trade and rising inflation.

You didn't complain when I dogged Sleepy, Creepy Uncle Joe for all his Covid wreckage and deficit expansion. Why so touchy when Trump is in charge and my analysis turns on the things he is doing? I'm afraid all my readers will be stuck with four years of that now that he's the guy where the buck stops and now that he's making the biggest economic changes we've seen in my lifetime.

Will you come back and thank me if all my predictions about where this is going come out as accurate as the ones I made through four years of Biden? No kid gloves for Trump, even though it may cost me enough readers that I have to shut down. There is no point if I have to pull my punches and not say what is true about where this is headed just because people don't want to hear it or believe it. (And if I am wrong to any significant degree, I'll shut down myself.)
