** NEWS MEMO ** = = = update... the polling
DJT says some of these new polls are undersampling folks who voted for him in 2024. Hmmmm, WE haven't seen the actual breakdown of the internal data on them. But is there any indication ALLLLL the polls freshly out -are thusly slanted? We haven't heard anyone weighing in on that -yet. Jury's still out on the slanting accusation. MAYBE. But hey listen does anyone who's mentally sober think DJT stll holds broad-based support.. while the Main Street economy worsens --BY THE HOUR? ...Anyone? ...Come on, wake up WH. You're in a mental prison of wishful thinking.
BAD POLLS... in all polls....(two must hear news clips here... Listen to them)

A common-sense mindset says: The economy is being DESTROYED day by day, by the hour. So, DJT is either mentally incompetent, deranged, tainted in mind... Orrrrrrr .... he's an agent of evilness tasked to destroy the economy by malevolent forces in the shadows. NO OTHER inferences are possible because the evidence of absolute irrationality in the tariff hysteria is so massive that unless DJT is mentally tainted, he should be able to process that he's taken the wrong path and back his bus out of the dark alley he made a wrong turn into. Only two possible inferences exist in the sober air: he's either literally nuts or a malevolent criminal agent. NO OTHER CONCLUSIONS are possible to a rational mind . This is a snapshot of the moment . THE ECONOMY IS BEING DESTROYED BY THE HOUR.

Also quite juvenile and offensive, putting up all those ARRESTED placards at the edge of the WH lawn.......... Hey, whatever happened to that. 'Just elect me, I can be presidential. I'll be as presidential as you want once in the WH.'.... Where did that promise go? This is presidential???: tawdry 'arrested' signs on the WH lawn ? They've got to be laughing at DC over in Beijing . Don't hold your breath waiting for a Xi phone call.

The hypothetical sports book in Vegas (hypothetical) -says... DHT is gonna lose this game. And by the way, the economy should not be handled as a juvenile game of bluster. Strategic confusion is a laughable euphemism for absurdly destabilizing the markets with fear of... constant instability. Duh !

Bar humor Wisdom ... "If everybody thinks you're drunk, maybe just have the courtesy to leave the bar."
REALITY CHECK... Hold in mind, not one single noted economist in the general realm has said..... "192 simultaneous trade wars? Marvelous. What a fabulous and practical idea. This will work like magic in less than a month. No pain. lotta lotta gain.".... No one has opined that, you know.. NO ONE of economic credentials in the general realm thinks the ship of state is economically (at the moment) on a course to anything other than-- brutal, horrific disaster. No one.
