Yup.
All he does is LIE.

And interestingly enough, I've never seen a Trump supporter here call him out for his LIES.
Strange.

Trump floated the idea in late 2025 but it was undermined by a Supreme Court ruling striking down key tariffs and subsequent refund processes favoring importers.

Multiple bills for consumer tariff rebates were introduced in Congress in early 2026, yet none have passed amid government shutdowns and limited political support as of May 2026.

Yup.

Because his tariffs haven't worked and I'm down on the year bro.
I'm still waiting for his Big Beautiful Bill to kick in like some of your colleagues keep saying.

How you doing?

Don't be silly. Trump promised you love, joy, and happiness, he didn't promise you a DOGE check.

What is your current allocation, bro? I thought your numbers would be higher based on the current AI related stock boom.

Trump also promised that his TARIFFS would reverse the Trade Deficit.
He's been WRONG about that too.

Clearly, I'm not in Ai.

I missed LITE (+170%) and COHR (+82%) YTD.

I'm in a lot of cash (43%)
My biggest single position is $3.6 million.

How's that for transparency in forum where the biggest Trump supporter is afraid to tell us what car he drives?
lol

The overall deficit is basically flat but that's missing the point. Trump's tariffs flipped the script on China: our deficit with them dropped ~30%, and China is no longer our #1 deficit country for the first time in decades. Same story with the EU and others, we're importing less from adversaries and unfair traders, while U.S. exports grew faster than imports.

The early spikes? That was businesses rushing goods in before tariffs hit (classic front-loading). Now we're seeing real redirection: supply chains shifting away from China toward allies or back home, new manufacturing investments, and leverage for better deals. The record goods deficit number gets thrown around, but it ignores the services surplus gains and the strategic wins.

Let Trump/Bessent cook.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Trade deficit has stabilized around levels only a bit smaller than deficits seen during much of the BIDEN ADMINISTRATION.

The Trade Deficit came out today for MARCH:

U.S. Exports in March were up 2.3% from February to $381.2 Billion in March

U.S. Exports in Mardh were 2.0% from February to $320.9 Billion in March.

That's a Trade Deficit of $60.3 Billion vs February.

PS. Imports of Cars and Car Parts rose by $3.6 Billion.
And we also imported more consumer goods and capital goods than in February.

Just the FACTS bro.

On one side I'm hearing AI is a bubble, on the other side, I'm hearing we're in the 2nd or 3rd inning.

At a 43% cash position, where are you going bro, hyperscalers, memory chips, energy, rare earth materials, space?

I will be the first to tell you that I know very little about Ai.
I've been focused on Medical Diagnostics since 2008.

There's something to be said for playing to your strengths.
I've never played Baskin-Robbins 31 "flavors" in the stock market.
I don't jump from flavor to flavor.

Even at Baskin-Robbins, I still only get two flavors.
Rocky Road and Chocolate Mint Chip.

I invest in what I know.
I don't chase things that I know very little about.

I'm a big believer in the Stanley Druckenmiller method of producing wealth.
Loading up on just a couple of names that you know like the back of your hand.

I've never run a balanced or diversified portfolio.
That's not how you create wealth.

But given my age, if I can get 4% on the 2-year on that 43% cash position I would be very happy.

oh stop it. The idea flopped after they had to bail out the farmers thanks to the tariffs and write other checks. The war was the nail in the "$2k fantasy refund" coffin.

Thank You.

You are a voice of reason.

Who calls their son tall? Well, people with tall children probably. You must not be around kids or people with kids very often.

Cool story that once again ASSUMES facts not in evidence.
I've noticed you do that often.

Most married couples that I know use the word WE when talking about caring for THEIR son.
That point went right over your head for some reason.

Most Dad's would have said:

"WE have a little boy who is quite tall - he's a little boy to us, but he's quite tall, right?" He's great, Barron.
And she takes great care of him. And thank you."

Besides, who calls a 20 year-old man a "little boy"?

To maintain the fiction that Trump is 6'3, Barron will be listed at 7'1 by next year.

Our son is 6'8" (Yes, he played basketball). The odd thing, at least for me, is that he doesn't seem all that tall most of the time, even though he's 7 inches taller than me and a foot taller than my wife. But when we're in a crowd I suddendly notice that he's a lot taller than most everyone and no one is as tall as he is.

Speaking of fiction, I wonder who the real father is. Since Melania has done such a "great job caring for HER son."

Trump: "Drugs coming by sea meaning coming by water. A lot of people don't know what I mean by sea. They think I mean vision. I'm talking about sea like the sea."

I would wager that the majority of his base makes that error.
