rgbecker's JournalThe Reason for Trump's love of tariffs slowly becomes clear.
Who advertises more than Gold speculators/traders on Fox and Newsmax?

"
Bloomberg) -- Gold climbed toward another record as the dollar pushed lower after President Donald Trump ordered his administration to consider imposing reciprocal tariffs on numerous trading partners."
The surge has been powered by haven demand, with traders trying to gauge the impact of the new US administration’s stances on tariffs and geopolitics.
Trump on Wednesday agreed in a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin to start negotiating an end to the war in Ukraine, buoying the euro and weighing on the US dollar.
Central banks, including China’s, have added to holdings, while bullion-backed exchange-traded funds also expanded.

Legal Question: Insane defense only works if insane at time of crime...or?
Or also at time of Trial.
Clear to me Trump is weighing the idea of claim of insanity....or checking possible ways to run to Moskow.
You know he isn't thinking about anything other than saving his own ass.
Buttigieg. Here is an interview with CNN. They flash some polling percentages that show support of various VP's.
The guy will tear apart Vance and Trump.... in either order.
Take a look:
Now NYTimes turns to Anonymous Source to serve as Biden's replacement....
Unable to locate a man, woman or child to declare their candidacy for the Democratic Presidential Candidate, the Times finally locates an anonymous official to declare his interest. Apparently undeterred at the possibility that any of the 50 states would list the candidate, without any further identification on a ballot, the New York mega-media giant continues to run an ever evolving headline on it's Website's front page declaring a huge movement looking to put the anonymous Candidate on the Democratic Ticket.
Ignoring the GOP 's lack of honest, young, articulate police-record free candidate for President, the elite newspaper is advocating for a nameless replacement for the experienced Biden who simply wants to continue to serve the American Public with decent Healthcare, availability of jobs and steady hand joining with the other free countries of the world in combating repressive countries which are feeling free to invade their neighbors.
Fear that Biden will lose to Trump come November, the Times apparently is banking on a nameless person, even avoiding mention of what sex, to carry the Democrats to victory. One Editor put it this way: " If the people can imagine the perfect person to be president and beat Trump, why cloud the question with an introduction of an actual candidate'"
All indications are the Headline will change in the next couple of hours, but you can be sure "Some Democrats, Somewhere, are unhappy with the situation."
From the times: 10:00 PM, July 6, 2024:
"After watching Mr. Biden in private, in public and while traveling with him, the official said they no longer believed the president had what it took to campaign in a vigorous way and defeat Donald J. Trump. The official, who insisted on anonymity in order to continue serving, said Mr. Biden had steadily showed more signs of his age in recent months, including speaking more slowly, haltingly and quietly, as well as appearing more fatigued in private."
Stay Tuned!
NYTimes apparently can't find even one Dem Convention Delegate wanting to replace Biden.
This short article gets a sentence or two from about 10 Delegates all in support of Biden. Headlines the Story "These Obscure Democrats Could Soon become Kingmakers"!
I don't think the media's drumming out Biden is going anywhere.
There is this: Biden has displaced Trump as the main headline subject for July so far. If the adage "All press attention is good, no matter the story" has any validity, we will see Biden gaining in this horse race talk soon.

I voted for Biden in the primary. No one has texted, called or emailed me asking me to withdraw my vote and cast it for
Some one else. I've read 50 opinions and news articles about how a lot of Democrats are calling for Biden to step down. None have suggested an alternative nor shown support for any one or even named a person who is willing step up to take on the position of Democratic Presidential Candidate for 2024. Even those at the NYTimes that seem to want Biden to step down have not come forth with a actual person saying they want to be the one to beat Trump.
WTF?
Take a look at the list of people asking that Biden step down.
The New York Times, a major source of anti-old man- Biden media outrage, has put up a list of who is actually calling publicly for Biden to step down.
If this is the best they can do, I suggest this to be the last posting about the possibility on DU
Read it and ask, like me: WTF? Marianne Williamson?

Heather Cox Richardson on PBS News Hour lays out the implications of the Supreme's Decision.
Is there anybody who would not support a constitutional amendment to put this decision back in the box? Biden needs to show the MAGA Trump supporters the danger inherent in a decision that releases the President from the LAW.
