While Trump may brow beat governments into acquiescing on tariffs and trade, those markets becoming more open is meaningless if the people and businesses in them simply do not buy US goods and services. And the same with your insurance agent or any other openly MAGAt business-- you can take your $$$ elsewhere. I simply will not do business with anyone who has a Trump sign on the property or is clearly of that mind. I have noticed in our area, there were a lot of Trump signs before the election, now they are almost all gone. Buyers remorse, embarrassment, fear of egging (naw, too expensive), I don't know.

I don't understand why people think Musk is self-made. Doesn't he come from a family that owns gem mines in Africa? Solomon Apr 23 #13
