Has any other president had the NASDAQ rise by 12.16% on a single day during his term? Check mate. And not just in regular chess. 3D chess.

Exactly! Recession? What recession?

It’s kind of like the non-Recession of ‘22-~’23/24.

I'm glad he caved in on the tariffs, and stopped the bleeding.
The sale of Treasuries seemed to have gotten him off the ledge.
Hopefully there won't be a recession.

• What experts are saying: Joe Brusuelas, the chief economist of consulting firm RSM US, warned the shift in tariff policy may not be enough to stave off a recession. And in a note to clients, Goldman Sachs economists projected a 45% chance of a recession over the next 12 months.

Trump's erratic behavior has to be causing big business to pause their planning for future. Things could blow up again in 90 days.
How does anyone know what he'll do tomorrow? How can anyone around the globe trust our country when it's leader careens back and forth on social media with no apparent explanation for his actions?
He brags about countries "kissing his ass" but won't release which countries have actually asked for negotiations. Maybe none have.
Stupid way to run our government.
