What a week!
When Joe Biden left office the Dow was at boring 42,500 marker and things actually seemed somewhat boring and pedstrian as we were still the hope of democratic world. Russia and North Korea were our adversaries while Canada and Mexico were our bordering neighbors. Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam were in our orbit of global frienship and not leaning towards China. Greenland…really? Denmark was already our friends.
NATO and Europe still remember Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini…so, yeah, they understand that in rea;lity it is somewhat stupid to follow this geopolitical plan of Donald Trump who never served his country because he had some bunions on his feet and a daddy with a trust fund.
So much for that boring bullshit. We needed to throw all that in the dumpster fire and in a Hitleresqe or Calvin Coolidge/Herbert Hoover manner become the most hated isolationist country in the world and undo pretty much everything our grandparents accomplished by winning WWII eighty years ago.
But then again what the f–k did our grandparents know as they pretty much took us from the disastrous policies of Calvin Coollidge, Herbert Hoover, and the Smoot-Hauley Tariff Act and through their grit actually embraced policies which created the greatest middle class in the HISTORY OF THE WORLD.
What then again, f–k that state of mind. The entire globe, 8 billion plus should all fall in line with Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and the concept of apartheid and make sure every white kid in America with a Sugar Daddy trust fund has everything set in his favor, while those of us who worked our asses off, played by the rules, and walked the walk of making sure our children had a shot at the American Dream should pretty much be treated with disdain and scorn.
The Dow opens at 39,500 today and will probably keep going in elevator mode as long as Trump in no way enunciates a clear message on WTF he is doing with his tarriff policies. Meanwhile, the the trading price of West Texas Crude has dropped from $70 a barrel to the high $50’s a barrel during all of this premeditated chaos.
My question to you Oklahomans at this point is…How has all of Trump’s buffoonish ‘Drill baby, drill’ bullshit touching your souls this Friday morning?
Good luck.
But you know what? I’ll be okay.And my focus is on just being a kinder, gentler person who takes the time to smell the roses and live the Golden Rule. A person who doesn’t brawl at a Thunder-Lakers game and catches that fluttering T-shirt in his right hand.
Have a nice weekend and enjoy the Masters golf tournament.
