Go, Erin Burnett!!

You know, I have boycotted CNN or a while now. But since this debacle began with the tariffs, I have watched her show and SHE IS NOT PLAYING. Today she said that something about this whole thing does not add up, and brought up the possibility of manipulation.

The chyron now on her show reads, "Trump Posts, Pause Timing Raise Questions About Company Stock".

She has really been letting him have it and is not buying any of his
varying stories or those of his minions. Refreshing!

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

But then a few days later it was back to CorpoPravda (not sure if that second time was Cooper or someone else).

Burnett is very solid and always underrated. Her finance background is perfect for deeper coverage of the chaos. One of CNN's best shows.

I'll listen to anyone who reports the facts on Trump. I do get perturbed when a show host brings on a MAGA monkey and lets them use the show as a propaganda platform and not call them out on the lies but that could be an upper management decision.

Americans fall for his schtick! He frequently reminds me of a school-boy giving an oral book report on a tome he never even laid eyes upon!

The tragedy is that so many people are mesmerized by his nonsense and intimidated by intelligence! God forbid a president of the United States ever use a word they'd have to look up in the dictionary on the phone they have right there in their hands!

As long as he shows he's just as dumb & bigoted as they are they'll love & support him to the grave!

In 2015 and 16 he was working with someone (IIRC some oligarch) who was working with Trump** but he came over to our side (including providing a heap of testimony) and has been with Meidas Touch for a number of years now (and also has his own Substack.) It was on today's Meidas Touch podcast that he made that statement.

I hadn't heard about anyone getting ready to make a bombshell statement - and can't imagine what could possibly be worse than everything we already know.

And that America is on the right track for billionaires to profit and they all believe it. Then they turn around and say we don’t wanna good economy. It’s better to have a bad economy and the magAs all believe it.
