Trump was at 156 or so, iirc.
Having said that, it did state below the name that it was his claim, not results from a recognized test. Gulololol.....

Looks like tariffs are incoming on Sat, we might see another COVID style bailout for businesses if it's a blanket 25%.
Hopefully every fucking Trump supporter in Canada takes one up the ass.

USDCAD and USDMEX pairs haven't moved all though - they're still in their channel.
.25% rate cut was also priced in.
Crazier things have happened.... but looks like financial markets are betting it's not going to happen
VIX went up during the announcement and is now back at baseline.

Gulololol..... | I'd take those numbers with a real grain of salt for all of the presidents. 100 is the population average. People with 140 - 160 are 0.1% of the population. Like a tenth of one percent.
A university grad would be between 98-110ish. Considering that by all reports Trump was a shit student and by some accounts, had his degree bought for him, I'd bet he's a 2 digit IQer.
Not that iq tests are great predictors of potential.

Kind of scary to be honest. And here I thought I was just dumb. Did not know I was above average. Maybe my ADD kept me from doing well. Like I said, I'm the first asian in the history of mankind to suck at math. Music was my thing.......... if only I could keep my thoughts together and on track.
But I agree, most of those tests are inaccurate. The ones based on problem solving are better than those based on general knowledge.
Also, I'm a firm believer in the multiple intelligences theory.

It seems pretty obvious to me that the Trump gov's right hand doesn't know WTF its left hand is doing. So many EO's and policy directions are in direct conflict with each other.
Yes, we want to keep inflation in check. But hey, let's tariff (our own people) to raise more revenues (so that I can afford the tax cuts for the rich)!
We're gonna do Star Gate -- it's the biggest and most beautiful AI program anyone will ever see. But let's slap huge tariffs on the only manufacturer in the world that can produce the semicondutor chips necessary for the Star Gate project!
We're cutting funding to aid programs and shxt. Oh wait, that is a bad idea, so we'll rescind that.
Birthright citizenship bad! Federal court rules the EO banning it unconstitutional.
And this gong show has only just started. We are literally on Day 11 right now.
You can't even make this stuff up...

anyone else seen The Apprentice (Movie)? I stumbled across it at the BluRay section at the Library. I know theres an overload of this stuff all in our faces at this point. But the movie in itself is great, well shot, well acted, well directed, great cinematography. Well worth the watch, but it is more trump media, so the exhaustion was real.
I actually didnt pick it up at first but then thought about it when i got home, then picked it up.

Watching Trump's live press conference, looks like oil will get hit as well but he might reduce the tariff to 10%. Wall Street still thinks he's baffling.

Looks like the EU might hit the US with 50% tariff on booze. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money...f/77904779007/

Any agent that worked the Jan 6 riot cases, or mara lago raids, are being warned they either need to quit or may get fired. All over cases that they had no choice to get assigned to.
