O/T:- Trump Presidency 2.0 [hic sunt dracones]

[BigFatPie]

US$ through the roof, Wall Street up and business confidence is sky high. Talk of a solution in the Middle East, talk of Russia and Ukraine representatives sitting down together.

US businesses are starting to recruit again after massive lay offs.


What an idiot Trump is - he's ruining everything and he's not even in office yet.



Meanwhile, Biden and Harris fiddle while California burns and Starmer will Make Britain Great Again.

I dont know what this bloke snorts before he logs on but it must be some good gear.

I can't stand Trump but most of what Lullapie wrote is true.

I can't stand Trump but most of what Lullapie wrote is true.

Well what hes said ranges from the right(about the dollar) to the wrong(about the jobs market, it’s been doing well for a while) to the meaningless(the rest).

But either way, it’s all irrelevant in relation to President Rapist because he hasnt taken over yet.

Many thanks - I have BFP on ignore, so it always makes me smile when I inadvertently get to see some of his Confucius-esque posts .

The DXY (dollar strength index) is almost as high as it was in late 2022. How popular must Biden have been?

I'm not getting on your case Lullapie but we spoke about this before. A strong currency doesn't happen for the reasons you think it does, and isn't as good as you think it is (unless you're an American going on holiday, in which case it's great).

Seriously, although we may have very different world views, can I please just say from one Notts fan to another, don't put any more money into Quantum AI until you have successfully withdrawn some of your profits.

You know, just to check you haven't been scammed. You can always put it back in after.

A sincere thanks for the heads up, it's appreciated.although i haven't been scammed, i took some good advice from a family friend who had a look, i was mistaken, my investment made 9k$ not ?'s, it gets put back into my account as bit coin. I have invested in various commodities as much as i can afford to lose, yesterday i had a dip by 2,000$ but i am still well up.
I am not really enjoying the process i just wanted to see what it was all about so i don't see myself in it for a long while, but once again thanks for the heads up.

Well the job I do, a strong US dollar isn't good for us or US exporters and it does make imports to the US cheap. However, we are never going to agree because where you are coming from is light years away from where I'm coming from.

All I can say is with the contacts I have in the US, they are more bullish than I can ever remember because of the change in government.

I met tons on people in the US in the last 5 weeks, from all walks of life. All but 2 of them were pro-Trump. The 2 that weren't said that the US has missed the opportunity to appoint possibly the best President in living memory by not voting in Harrris.

I rest my case.

We probably do have different opinions about Trump but I don't think that's relevant here. The strength of the dollar is simply not an indicator of bullishness on the president - there's no other way to put it.

It's connected to a lot of different things but in this case inflationary pressure. That's why it was strong in '22, that's why it's going up now - almost all of Trump's policies are inflationary. This is absolutely not sour grapes as I get paid in a currency pegged to the dollar and convert it to euros and pounds - it has worked out very well for me.

As I told you before, Trump himself prefers a weak dollar to a strong one.

Not really, markets react to likely future changes very quickly both political and financial

Well he would wouldn't he, he doesn't have to change travelers cheques like the rest of us.

Strength of any currency is relative to others, the Labour government has sunk Sterling, just in time for my next jolly, as f****** usual.
