THE TRUMP TRADE IS UNDER ATTACK

My portfolio was ripped apart to pieces today — as if rabid dogs had attacked a sack of meat dripping with blood. Boldly, I’ve tied my fate to the so called ‘Trump trade’, a gamble on the prospects of big government spending and a wanton relief of Obama’s absurdities.

At last glance, I was off by 2% at 160% long, or down by 3.2%.

The entire construct of Trump’s swag is on trial now — as the winter winds abate, so does the frost on the brain. Ergo, people are waiting for tangible action and results. Our do nothing republican congress has offered zero support for any of Trump’s policies — because they’re horrible people and shills.

Take a gander.

The highlight of my day was reveling in the agony of Amazon s3 users — down as the CIA updates their firmware into their cloud. Other than that, 75% of stocks were down — tentatively, ahead of tonight’s speech, which is sure to rattle a few cages and cause some people to undergo conniption fits.

    The Orange God will destroy the never Trumpers tonight. Laying waste to demented old bags dressed in white. Cue the face meltings of a certain cinema classic. So it is told.

    Trump will have some surprises tonight. Notably, Hillary in a cage behind his podium.

    Spoken from the loyalist north here, your Republicans and your Democrats are Coke and Pepsi: almost the same, gotta be a millionaire to get elected and there’s money flowing. You have a new man in town now, eh.

        They can not come up with more than one vowel in country name, why expect flag to be something more than something raked up in fall?

        Trump is clearly Barq’s root beer, neighbor. Extra American manchild, to be consumed with ketchup slathered burnt China imported mule hides and a side of love-filled taco bowl.

    I went to cash yesterday. But went long some $JNUG this morning after the beat down it took yesterday.

    I’m holding over night. There’s a good chance I get smoked. A little nervous holding this thing long right now.

    He needs to take those tiny soft hands and pick himself up by his bootstraps. I feel for him, it’s sad when poopy heads say mean things. I’ve often run to twitter to cry when my teenbeat didn’t arrive at my doorstep on time. He shouldn’t worry, though… His many followers couldn’t see any shortcomings…. If he had them of course, which he doesn’t.

    Thank you, OA ..and others 1BC bloggers for the thoughtful pics you select for your posts. Having stolen your Dr Strangelove pic and shared with others, I thought I should thank you …even though the old, thinner skinned Fly, had banned me for several years.

    Hey Trumptards – the greatest state in the union is also one of the most liberal, and a true melting pot of diversity and open-mindedness. Try to be more like us https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/articles/2017-02-21/bay-states-public-schools-health-care-economy-stand-out?int=news-rec

      Couple of points. First, consider the source. US Nees & World Report made up these rankings. Which leads to the second point. Look through the criteria. Almost all of them are things that directly correlate to high income and wealth.

      So, congratulations to Massachusetts for not having many poor people, being full of college graduates, not having much student debt, and for being full of people who never have trouble paying for their health care.

      My god, the article may as well have been titled “Massachusetts is better off than you. Suck it, poor people!” Way to thumb your nose at the blue collar and struggling masses, US News.

        People who are as outwardly anti-gay as you are usually… in denial in the closet. Move to MA where all people are just people, no judging.
