Donald Trump’s inner circle isn’t motivated by doing what’s right for the country. Their focus is enabling Trump’s authoritarian desires and indulging his worst impulses, and we will all suffer for it.

I'm increasingly convinced Trump's inner circle is giving him busy work (the White House ballroom, Kennedy Center, presidential plaques, gold decorations, etc.) while they essentially run the government. He admits that he doesn't even know who he is pardoning anymore.
Trump announces an "unprecedented four-day athletic event" with "one young man and one young woman from each state and territory"

Politicians/candidates are like a pre fixe meal that you are forced to eat entirely.
Don't bother trying to tell me the creme brulee dessert is great when the main course is dog poop.
Doing so only lowers my estimation of your judgement.

The networks that carried last nights campaign stump speech because they are afraid, will get what they deserve.
I am pretty sick and tired of hearing about how bad journalists have it when they continually fail to do the basic job informing the public.

Perhaps not a hedge (in the traditional sense), but perhaps an uncorrelated source of return (the sweet spot for 'alts').
Like most things, it ebbs and flows.

Gold and the S&P 500 have both done well this year (+64% and +16%, respectively), but they remain virtually uncorrelated assets. Over the last 100 days, their correlation coefficient is just 0.10. In September 2024, it was -0.50.

Wall Street analysts tend to overestimate forward-year S&P 500 earnings by 2 – 3 pct. This suggests that the index is trading for 22.7x – 22.9x likely 2026 earnings.

How long until a single reporter actually presses the White House on the exact reason for these bandages?
Trump last night had the complexion of a Thanksgiving turkey that was left in the oven too long and bandages were again visible on the back of his right hand

I guess manners, decorum, good taste, gratitude, generosity and other things I learned about as a child no longer are prerequisites for our leaders. They just need to blurt out whatever their base desires and emotions are at the moment. What has happened to this country?
