MAGA
Point Bridge America First ETF

The USA is weeks away from the worst gas crisis in its history, inflation is skyrocketing Zimbabwe style, and Trump/Hegseth burned through most of our AA missile inventory during the Iran war and the previous action against the Houthis. Our Troops would be at the greatest risk they've faced since WW2 and the casualties would be astronomical. Trump created this proliferation disaster and MAGA OWNS IT.

Cave in to MAGA

Meine These zur VW Zukunft ist, dass sie sich eine globale Struktur geben
Deutschland ist als Standort für die Produktion hochproblematisch, für Software auch, für Engineering ist weiterhin viel lokales talent da. Im Rest Europas laufen die Standorte besser. USA attraktiv, aber durch MAGA erstmal aus regulatorischer Sicht riskant. Auf China reagiert man, indem man selber massiv ausbaut.
Also ist VWAG absehbar bald ein Konzern, der a) die Exposure zu Deutschland reduzieren muss, und b) sich organisatorisch für den erwartbar weiter anhaltend politischen Wettbewerb zwischen USA, EU und China rüsten muss.
* Deutsche Produktion möglichst auslagern in eine eigene Firma
* Ebenso deutsches R&D in eine Weitere
* Wenn dann Niedersachsen und co reinpfuschen, gibt's als Retourkutsche die Drohung der Abwicklung dieser Firmen
* VWs China Geschäft wird so groß, dass man ein VWAG Asia mit HQ in HK oder SG aufziehen kann
* Nordamerika ebenso isolieren
* Die Müttergesellschaft braucht dann auch nicht mehr in Deutschland sein. Zusammenführen kann man alles in einem steuerlich attraktiveren HQ in den Niederlanden, Luxemburg, Schweiz usw, während Deutschland das operative HQ für das ex China Geschäft behalten kann.
Ich denke, in so eine Richtung wird es langfristig gehen

Bow to the MAGA agenda.

Schwab is a big MAGA donor if that matters to you.

MAGA ain't going anywhere. THey're not leaving the white house unless its by force.

Always need to reaffirm they trust RC , they won't be selling before they offer any frustration its odd
It also applies to MAGA, I live in a deep red state and was listing to some right wing local radio guy talking ag, and ag is doing very poorly
It was just strange to listen to all the callers , who before offering up their own criticisms of the Trump admin they would all do the same routine
1. Say they are a life long republican
2. Say they are a 3 time Trump voter (some even said they would vote for him again in 2028)
3. Say they are a christian/Pro Life (Umm ok , that doesn't seem to be relevant when talking Ag economics)
4. Affirm they think Trump is the greatest president in history
5. Affirm they would ONLY vote republican and wouldn't think of voting for a non-republican (Once again this was about the farm economy )
Only then would they voice their frustrations on Trade and Tarrifs and rising costs saying how they are nearly bankruipted
It was weird this happened over and over and over. Then I realized any cult basically has an in-group and out-groups. People make it their whole identity to be in the in-group
In this case the in group MAGA are Trump supporters/Christians / Pro life so they had to reaffirm multiple times they are still part of the in group before talking any frustration ; ape are doing the same thing they are affirming they are still an APE (Hold GME, Won't Sell , Support RC)

LOL so funny how he waits till the markets close to do the attacks. It's like he wants to show how tough he is to his MAGA crowd, but not at the cost of disappointing his fellow rich buddies!

MAGA elected this moron and invited absolute chaos into our lives ever day and is making us hated all over the world

Apes and MAGA assholes are a perfect circle Venn diagram. It makes me happy they’ll be broke forever.

That's my point: he has full powers, because MAGA/Republicans are in power. The supreme court is mostly on his side too.
What real power can truly prevent him from doing whatever he wants to do? (if we set apart a revolution)
They *could* stand up to him, but they won't.

At the most extreme they could impeach him.
Below that they could just not go with his policy decisions, don't vote for his bills unless he does x or y. They could say they publicly disagree with his actions and vote accordingly. But they will not. Any one that *does* resigns or is excised by MAGA as a RINO despite being lifetime republicans so none of them want to stand up and they all sheepishly defend him at every turn sometimes making contradictory statements after the fact when Trump flips on an issue.
Republicans right now are in full support of his admin because they are benefiting from it and Trump is so popular among the Republican voter base that none of them want to risk their seat if they do disagree. I half agree with your comment that the voters basically gave him full powers in 24' but Congress and the Supreme Court could stand up to him, limit his powers but they won't.

I honestly believe that pulse dramatic weight gain over the past year and a half or so is because MAGA crew made him stop doing cocaine and may even drug test him, similarly to Hegseth’s severe alcoholism.
He has always been uhhh…. less than the peak mail physique and his diet has always been 100% fast food, alcohol, and ice cream and cake, but he balanced it with cocaine binges.
But now he has suddenly gained 100 pounds in just 1.5 years.
