Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end.

PPI is showing a significant and broad-based inflation impulse that's going to get increasingly difficult for the Fed to ignore. And remember, this is well before any effects from Iran or even from fiscal stimulus this year.
Trump has made the United States a pariah state

5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.
Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.
This is before the oil shock. So enjoy a look at how good we had it. #EconSky #Inflation
