But for how long??? A tariff war borne of ignorance, arrogance, impulsiveness and bombast is a recipe for failure. Reminds me of my mother's occasional caution that when your hand is in a lion's mouth you ease it out slowly smile

Correct. The same though occurred to me as well. His buddies are piling up the cash trading the markets.

The best liars eventually convince themselves that the lies are statements of truth. OJ Simpson comes to mind smile

If you are asking that question, you probably think OJ did not kill those two people smile

He was charged and he plead not guilty.

A trial was held and he was acquitted by the jury.

OJ never testified under oath. He didn't lie about anything.

Are you suggesting that OJ never denied killing his ex-wife and her lover outside a courtroom? Or are you suggesting that his acquittal at trial means he did not kill those two people?

Was he ever charged for perjury for pleading not guilty to the charges?

Yeah, things don't seem to be going too well in Trumpland

His on again, off again boyfriend Musk is stepping back because Tesla’s sales are plummeting. Who would’ve thunk that by attacking the very people most likely to buy electric cars - liberals - he’d end up with a boycott of Tesla? Musk must be living in some sort of lalaland not unlike the misfits’ echo chamber. I give it a few weeks before Trump begins attacking him again.

Then there's the conservative Wall Street Journal calling out Trump's tariff mess as well as his attacks on Powell. Trump had to pull back to say that he doesn’t want to fire Powell, which is pretty rare for him. Anyway, it couldn't happen to a greater kuntry

I think you misunderstood. I am not referring to pleas in court or denials made under oath. OJ denied the killings in media interviews before and after the criminal trial.

OJ Simpson is the only person in American jurisprudence was was found guilty by the court of public opinion for being acquitted of a crime by a jury of his peers.

The only person who perjured himself in that trial was the racist detective who planted evidence at the crime scene, in addition to lying under oath.

Bad premise and bad math are not any of those things.

Remember this started out as an exercise in rebalancing trade deficits. Then he tariffed the penguins. lol

The guy is an idiot. But he is likely stockpiling the gold he loves so much so he can be a billionaire for real this time.

He was factually 'not guilty' of the charges.

When you get some time, Google the term "Colombian neck tie" or "Colombian necklace". That was the manner in which the killer/assassin executed Ms. Simpson who was a hopeless cocaine addict at the time.

You conveniently avoid my questions. But I'm not surprised that you subscribe to the racist lying evidence planting detective theory. All I know is that OJ killed those two people and got away with it, notwithstanding the racist detective. But you are entitled to your opinion. Most of my family agree with you that OJ did not kill those two. All now OJ probably is still looking for the murderer in the afterlife while avoiding looking into the mirror smile

The evidence at the trial, not opinion, suggested that that evidence was planted.

At the preliminary inquiry, Furman testified that when he attended the Bundy property he, and only he alone, saw the gloves which he referred to as "them"..."I saw them there".

At the trial, he testified that he, and he alone, found one glove at the Bundy property, and then later, he and only he alone, found the other glove at the Rockingham property.

Remember this started out as an exercise in rebalancing trade deficits.

And even though the United States has a trade surplus with the entire Caribbean and most of the rest of the world, those countries still got hit with 10% tariffs. Trump is living in a fantasy world where he wants to return to an era when there were tariffs and no income taxes. He thinks that he can offset the massive tax cuts coming down the pike with tariff collections.

Oh boy ... Well I do not have a transcript of the trial, but I watched most of that trial and was never convinced that the evidence was planted. In fact, I viewed the OJ verdict as a case of jury nullification in the face of overwhelming evidence of guilt.
