It's like termination day was actually liberation day from Trump.

Posts like this remind me that I follow you for fact-based charts that don't have an opinion.

Auto-incorrenct?

PIMCO:

The decision “upholds the separation of powers as delineated under the Constitution – that the White House executes the law, but it is the Congress that creates them – and .. it reinforces that the power of the purse, specifically the power of taxation, (still) rests with the Congress.”

Pritzker’s invoice to White House:

I don't think you realize how optimistically biased you write sometimes. This one just came off as really funny. Lipstick on a pig kind of stuff.

Direct payments to the Trump foundation?

Two observations on the NY Fed study that Kevin Hassett criticized as the "worst" he's ever seen published by the central bank

Running backwards while thinking you ran ahead.

If it wasn't clear, what I'm referring to is the market will go up, but if people aren't careful it might not go up as much as the dollar goes down. You could look at your portfolio and think you've increased your spending power while you've lost it. It's a covert way to lose.
