    What's more concerning is Trump wasn't aware of the TACO acronym until a reporter had to explain it to him. I know he doesn't, but he would do very well to have some sort of brave employee telling him the reality "out there" so he's at least aware. But dare we interrupt his false reality...

      That’s a stupid approach to take from a markets analyst. He’s actually trying to goad Trump into not reconsidering tariffs and to pull the trigger…

      Plenty of people out there hoping Trump damages the economy as much as possible. I'm sure they'll take the opportunity to goad Trump into more macho tariffs.

      Education is extremely important.

                        U.S. manufacturing activity slumped in March to the lowest level in nearly three years as new orders plunged, and analysts said activity could decline further due to tighter credit conditions.

                        The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) survey on Monday showed all subcomponents of its manufacturing PMI below the 50 threshold for the first time since 2009. Some economists said this suggested a recession was around the corner, while others said much would depend on the services sector, whose PMI remains consistent with a growing economy.

                              China’s government is projecting confidence that it can outlast the U.S. in a protracted trade war in large part because of the potential damage inflicted by its restrictions on rare earth metals, said Eswar Prasad, a Cornell University economist who has spoken this week with Chinese finance officials.
                              “That is the choke point,” Prasad said. “Beijing does not feel like it is going to back down and that the U.S. is in no position to dictate terms. A big, big part of that is rare earths, where they feel they have the capacity to do significant harm to American manufacturers.”

                              Seems like it is happening unfortunately

                              A group representing auto suppliers in the United States called on Wednesday for immediate action to address China's restricted exports of rare earths, minerals and magnets, warning the issue could quickly disrupt auto parts production.
