Never choose your prettiest woman.
Never choose your funnest woman.
Never choose the smartest woman.
Choose the woman who respects you the most and obeys you the most.
Long term - any other choice? You’ll regret it.

Dear Democratic Party,
Abandon these crazy socialist ideas.
The people who live here don’t want them. You guys used to make sense, now it’s weird.
That’s why we voted for Donald Trump in 2024.

🇺🇸WORLD’S “MOST ACCURATE” ECONOMIST PREDICTS TRUMP WIN
Bloomberg has rated Christophe Barraud as the economist who best predicts what will happen to the U.S. economy for 11 of the last 12 years.
He says the most likely outcome is a red wave, with Trump taking back the White House and Republicans taking back the Senate, with a toss-up for the House of Representatives.
Barraud used a model that combines economic, financial, and satellite data, as well as backtests and outside models, to reach his conclusions.

🇺🇸Trump’s Tariff Plan Explained: Destroy or Help The US Economy?
Trump describes tariffs as his "favorite word." To understand the concept, think of it like this:
Imagine you’re an accountant seeking business referrals. You meet someone who sells auto insurance, and you agree to exchange referrals equally. A month later, you’ve given them five referrals, but they haven’t given you any. You now have a "referral deficit" while they have a "referral surplus." This is similar to a trade deficit versus a trade surplus.
Now, on a larger scale, the U.S. has a global trade deficit of $1.1 trillion, meaning it has provided $1.1 trillion more business to other countries than it has received. China, on the other hand, has a trade surplus of $823 billion, receiving more business than it gives. Trump’s use of tariffs is an attempt to address these imbalances and renegotiate trade deals.
Tariffs are tools that governments can use to create leverage in trade negotiations. Historically, tariffs have been used as a form of taxation on imports, dating back to the Roman Empire and becoming prominent in the mercantilist policies of the 16th and 18th centuries.
Economist Adam Smith, known for his book Wealth of Nations, argued that tariffs can disrupt free trade, but he noted 2 exceptions: protecting industries critical to national security and counteracting tariffs imposed by other nations. These points remain relevant in modern trade discussions.
When examining trade surpluses and deficits globally, China leads with a significant surplus, while countries like the U.S., UK, and India experience deficits. Tariffs can serve as leverage to balance these relationships and ensure fair trade practices.
Understanding tariffs and trade negotiations is key to grasping how governments seek to protect their economies and industries in a globalized world.

Who sends out the commands to the NPC media puppets? I’d like to meet them.
They should really use a thesaurus, so that every media outlet doesn’t use the EXACT SAME words every time.
