“I’ll only be a dictator on day one”…..imagine if Obama said this.

- Start date
(look at what he did the first time as well)
Trump’s goal, he says, is for the U.S. to have the lowest-cost energy and electricity of any nation in the world, including China.
Under the mantra “DRILL, BABY, DRILL,” he says he would ramp up oil drilling on public lands and offer tax breaks to oil, gas, and coal producers. He would roll back Biden administration efforts to encourage the adoption of electric cars and reverse proposed new pollution limits that would require at least 54% of new vehicles sold in the U.S. to be electric by 2030.
And again, he says, he will exit the Paris Climate Accords, end wind subsidies and eliminate regulations imposed and proposed by the Biden admiration targeting incandescent lightbulbs, gas stoves, dishwashers and shower heads.
The energy plan is to pollute more. And give tax breaks to enormously profitable oil companies.
OK.
OK.
So basically he wants to roll things back to what it was in the '70s, when So Cal had something like 100 days a year of smog alerts.
Because that's how you MAGA!
Not quite.
Mostly, it's to remove Fed guv mandates that force auto companies to be mostly EV by 2030, and other wind/solar mandates be enforced by certain near future dates. These mandates force companies to make products much more expensive and not ready for primetime before infrastructures can handle them.
ICE's will eventually face a demise, but it will take many, many years (decades) to get even close for all.
Meanwhile, China, India, and other developing 3rd world will continue to use MORE coal, oil and fossil fuels outpacing any attempts by USA and EU in reducing them. Net effect, is more GLOBAL CO2 and toxic pollution than ever before in the next 10, 20, 30+ years.
Why doesn't the UN/IPCC mandate that ALL countries reduce fossil fuels NOW, if it's such an "existential threat to all mankind". But no, they need to catch up to the 1st world, first. Hell with actual Climate Change hype. Climate Equity in full force.

OK.
While China corners the market on everything battery, solar panel and EV.
They see the AGW blind, forced mandates for batteries, solar and EV's the coming decades, and will own it ALL, just in time for ALL of us to be FORCED to buy them.
Perfect.
China is planning for the next 100 years.
Biden is planning to get out of the next paper bag, hopefully.
Stock market is basically back to where it was 2 years ago. Woohoo.
Nasdaq not yet.
2 years of stagnation, now trying to finally gain some headway.
I have a feeling we're going to see a fairly flat year from here, at best.
Maybe some ups to new highs, but a bumpy ride up and down with little year end gains to show.
Corpo BK's highest in 13 years.

More layoffs ahead?
If Middle East (multiple blow-up regions), Ukraine or other sketchy area skirmishes heats up more, setting up oil spikes?
All bets are off.
1. There is no data that exists or will ever exist that could possibly convince a Trumper that the economy is in fact humming right along. Only getting their guy in office will change their mind.
2. Biden could close and seal the border tomorrow and a Trumper will continue to believe that hordes of brown murderers and rapists (and some good people) are coming across to cause mayhem and get welfare and take good jobs from hard working Americans. Only getting their guy in office will change their mind.
and now you know the rest of the story !! )
It took 2 years to get back to where it is now.TIL all time highs are considered "basically back to where it was"
What's so epic/awesome about losing all of 2022 (full on bear market), and spending all of 2023 to just get it back again?
So epic.
Compared to Trump years, even WITH the Covid Black Swan dive/sell-off in early 2020.
Coming back stronger than ever in a few months to new market record highs.
We'll be lucky if 2024 is flat/break-even by year end from here.
Maybe a up a few % at the very best, if we're really lucky.
nice wall of text, chickenfkr
we're at all time highs
so, not "basically back to where we were", like you said.
too bad Trump inflated the money supply with covid relief funds and shut down sectors of the economy
you're so ridiculous, you have negative credibility
It seems you also can't read charts either.
We're a few points higher in the SP500 from just over 2 years ago.
Get back to me when we're past the 2 year highs by significant numbers.
Dow is about 3% higher than the 2 year ago peaks. So celebrate, celebrate, dance to the muuuusic.
Does anyone here think Trump was being serious when he said this?
Give me a break. It's just the usual twisting of words to fit your narrative (many fine people etc) it's played out, like racist, nazi,etc
