    trump and his supporters claim (1) he was elected to "shake things up" and (2) "his shaking things up is how he succeeds". If so, we haven't really seen any successes, at least none that the large majority of Americas and benefited from. Instead, we have only seen the chaos.

    Trump did not score better because of the Democratic traitors holding him back! Even so, Trump has made this country whiter and he freed us from truth.

    sensing that Trump has pack-pedaled, on Tue,

    China has ramped up efforts to boost its economy and affording it to become less reliant on irade with the United States, wrote Hu Xijin, editor-in-chief of the Beijing-based Global Times.

    "China on Tuesday issued 20 directives to boost consumption, in an effort to further tap domestic market, not putting so much emphasis on trade talks. China's economy is increasingly driven internally, it's more and more difficult for the US to press China to make concessions," a tweet from the journalist said.

    Yesterday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang stressed that China is ready to find new trade partners to fill in the place of the US, case in point, the EU, https://www.teletrader.com/report-c...mption/news/details/49291217?ts=1566926188921

    to the extent that the Fed is an independent body, and Fed chair J Powell doesn't work for the POTUS,
    my bold prediction is that

    Trump will use Navarro as the scapegoat and ax him,
    then reach an agreement w China

    Trump is not in the stock market. Trump is all about OPM.
