      This one is just pure stupidity. Border Control and Customs announces the exemption one day, Trump immediately walks it back the next, all while markets are still closed. A bunch of idiots probably bought options on Apple and are going to get absolutely screwed when markets open today. If I had to guess the exemption was planned and got out too early somehow.

    Hmm.

    Economy go CRASH every time Republicans are in charge.

    Hmmm.

    Nah, we should definitely whine about a war going on between two other nations on the other side of the planet and boot the team that was recovering our economy by voting 3rd party or not voting at all.

    That’s working out great for us.

    He’s such a stupid cunt. Which is why I only bought back in with half the shit I liquidated in March.
