@SouthernGhw @perde_arkasi1 Why are you spreading such fake news? If you had noticed before you wrote , the cushion was for the back of the chair. It was not for the seat. You mislead your followers

@perde_arkasi1 هذا رساله لها ابعد سياسية من الرئيس الصيني وكانه يقول نحن من يرفع امريكا ونعجلها دوله مرتفعه اي دوله عظمى ولاكن ترامب فهم الرساله وامر بازاله الوسادة ليقول لصين نحن لا نحتاج لاحد فنحن أقوياء لانفسنا

🔴 الرئيس الصيني حسبها بالسنتيمتر من خلال وضع وساده صغيره على كرسي ترامب كي يظهرا متساوين في الطول . ترامب أمر بإزالة الوساده... ما جعله يبدوا ادنى من الرئيس الصيني اثناء الجلوس 😀

@OopsGuess @Kathleen_Tyson_ Shows the difference in level of sophistication and emotional maturity.

The funniest contrast is the tone. Xi was talking about bilateral relations, global turbulence, cooperation, confrontation, and the future of humanity. Trump was basically saying: “It’s an honor to be your friend.” “You are a great leader.” “I only say the truth.” “The children were beautiful.” One was conducting diplomacy. The other sounded like he finally got a private dinner with his political crush.

@EVPR34895 @asklivermore I like your sarcasm. Hilarious !

@asklivermore There is no single bear right now regarding $BABA on X. This is the worst possible thing for $BABA bull. Sell all the position $BABA is dead

Alibaba $BABA and Baidu $BIDU are trying to break out from a 4-year base / low. President Trump and Xi will be announcing a long-term game plan that will send China stocks to the moon.

@KobeissiLetter But..Trump, you sure it’s a good idea to load all of them in one plane and in one room in Cina? You are in a war with Ir, it’ll be a coup if…….but oh well, now you hv put the onus on China to hv super tightass security aft tt recent embarassing US ballroom trespass.

This is absolutely insane. President Trump is currently flying to China with all of the following people to request "deals" with China's President Xi: 1. Elon Musk, Tesla and SpaceX CEO 2. Jensen Huang, Nvidia CEO 3. Tim Cook, Apple CEO 4. Larry Fink, BlackRock CEO 5. Stephen Schwarzman, Blackstone CEO 6. Kelly Ortberg, Boeing CEO 7. Brian Sikes, Cargill CEO 8. Jane Fraser, Citigroup CEO 9. Larry Culp, General Electric CEO 10. David Solomon, Goldman Sachs CEO 11. Sanjay Mehrotra, Micron CEO 12. Cristiano Amon, Qualcomm CEO President Trump also says there are "many other" CEOs joining him on the trip who have not yet been disclosed. Never in history has such a trip even remotely near this scale and caliber occurred. This Trump-Xi meeting is far bigger than most realize.

@DD_Geopolitics I don’t know which is more off-putting - his nonsense or the fake sycophantic smiles pasted on the foolish servile faces

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump says "a large group of generals is waiting for him to discuss Iran."

@Bigchief254 The younger fat lady is trying to steal from the elderly by accusing him of stealing from her. When challenged ,She then tried to cover up by suggesting to check her own bag and then ridiculously offering hers for free to him. Scam.

Young Woman harassed an elderly man accusing him of stealing her airpods only to find them in her bad. The man fell after that impact 💔

@Ffvghuhhjihbjii @BroWire_ What a lame excuse ! He came up with the story and apologised only because he was caught on camera.

@BroWire_ 这是当事人，已经鞠躬道歉。他说是因为当时他朋友抢着结账

@Alexandr4Denman How does one walk with all that weight load in the robes? It is hard to believe. I can’t even carry the weight loaded in shoulder bags.

Deport the lot of them!

@ReesePolitics @Jayce_On_ Why did he agree to the interview if he is not willing to even converse ? It’s like a reluctant prisoner trying not to confess

@Jayce_On_ The way Sorkin slows down his speaking to talk down to RC is embarrassing. Guys comes across as a petulant child.

Here's the most contentious part of Ryan Cohen's CNBC Squawk Box interview about the GameStop-EBAY acquisition. This is a HEATED back and forth, uncommon for financial news. $GME Sorkin, at one point is in disbelief at RC's repetitive answering to his question.

@BeijingDai He is trying to be like Lee Kuan Yew, crying on state media. Except that LKY cried over a big issue, the separatn of Spore fr Malaysia. LW is trying to milk emotions but instead looks weak, incapable of emotional regulation. Media drama.

The Prime Minister of Singapore broke down in tears during a public speech. On the surface, it seemed like he was moved by something he read, but in reality, it is because he is under tremendous pressure — and people under that kind of stress tend to get emotional very easily, which is an experience that we all have to some extent. Where does this pressure come from? Singapore doesn't seem to have any pressing issues, does it? It of course comes from the fact that he has led Singapore to choose the United States in the U.S.-China rivalry and he knows China is fully aware of this choice. There is no turning back for Singapore. Meanwhile, the U.S. is visibly in decline, especially after Iran war, which makes him deeply anxious about Singapore’s future. Leaders of more neutral countries — such as Malaysia or Vietnam — clearly do not bear this kind of pressure. As for this Singaporean PM, I have nothing more to say. You made your choice — now you must live with the consequences.

@SovetskijSlova1 @AntonJaegermm Why kill those with different political beliefs ?

@wakeupnow777x @MelRiveraMills @wallstengine Yes, its a joke by a world leader on a world stage. Very appropriate for your culture.

@MelRiveraMills @wallstengine I'll never understand people who can't figure out Trump's humor. It's been 12 years and people are still getting rage baited beyond belief.

TRUMP ON TIM COOK: I have always been a big fan of Tim Cook, and likewise, Steve Jobs, but if Steve was not taken from the Planet Earth so young, and ran the company instead of Tim, the company would have done well, but nowhere near as well as it has under Tim. For me it began with a phone call from Tim at the beginning of my First Term. He had a fairly large problem that only I, as President, could fix. Most people would have paid millions of dollars to a consultant, who I probably would not have known, but who would say that he knew me well. The fees would be paid but the job would not have gotten done. When I got the call I said, wow, it’s Tim Apple (Cook!) calling, how big is that? I was very impressed with myself to have the head of Apple calling to “kiss my ass.” Anyway, he explained his problem, a tough one it was, I felt he was right and got it taken care of, quickly and effectively. That was the beginning of a long and very nice relationship. During my five years as President, Tim would call me, but never too much, and I would help him where I could. Years latter, after 3 or 4 BIG HELPS, I started to say to people, anyone who would listen, that this guy is an amazing manager and leader. He makes these calls to me, I help him out (but not always, because he will, on occasion, be too aggressive in his ask!), and he gets the job done, QUICKLY, without a dime being given to those very expensive (millions of dollars!) consultants around town who sometimes get it done, and sometimes don’t. Anyway, Tim Cook had an AMAZING career, almost incomparable, and will go on and continue to do great work for Apple, and whatever else he chooses to work on. Quite simply, Tim Cook is an incredible guy!!!

@jaynitx Fr my Singaporean friend : as an update, home prices quoted in LKY’s earlier speeches referred to govt housing, These r no longer $100,000 to $300,000. Secondary market transactions for bigger govt flats r > $1m. Private Bungalows go for $35-$75 million each. Housing is expensive

In 1942, the Japanese rounded up all Chinese men in Singapore. They were filtering out the healthy young ones to execute. Lee Kuan Yew was 18. A guard pointed at him and said: "Go to that lorry." He knew what that meant. The lorry went to the beaches. The beaches meant machine guns. He asked: "Can I collect my other things?" They said yes. He walked away, found his family's gardener, and hid in his quarters for two days. When they changed the screening inspectors, he tried again. This time, he got through. The ones sent to that lorry were taken to the beaches and shot. Somewhere between 50,000 and 100,000 didn't survive. 60 years later, he sat down at Harvard to explain how he built Singapore from a tiny island into one of the wealthiest nations on Earth: On what the war did to him: "We lived in happy, placid colonial Singapore in the 1920s and 30s. The British Empire would have lasted another thousand years, so we thought." Then the Japanese came. In less than one and a half months, the British collapsed. "Three and a half years of hell. Butchery. Brutality. Many didn't survive. I was fortunate. I did." "But it changed us." "What right did they have to do this to us? Why did the British let us down so badly?" When the war ended, Lee went to Cambridge to study law. But he was watching with different eyes. "Can they govern me better than I can govern myself? Because they scooted when the Japanese came in. And why shouldn't I be running the place?" On learning languages to lead: Lee was the best speaker in English. But only 20% of Singapore spoke English. The masses spoke Hokkien, Mandarin, and Malay. "So every day at lunchtime, instead of having lunch, I would sit down with a Hokkien teacher and laboriously and painfully learn to convert my Mandarin into Hokkien." "Had I not mastered that, the battle would be lost by default." His first speech in Hokkien, the kids laughed at him. "I said, please don't laugh. Help me. I'm trying to get you to understanding." By 6 months, he could get his ideas across. By 2 years, he was fluent. "Believe it or not, at the end of two years I could speak better than most of them." "That came respect." It showed two things: how determined he was, and how sincere. Here was a man doing all these other things and still learning their language just to talk to them. On fighting the Communists: The Communists had been organizing since 1923. The year Lee was born. "Here we were in the 1950s trying to beat them. And they are professionals at organization." They had elimination squads. Guerrillas in the jungle. Killer squads in the towns. Lee stood up and said no. "They denied that they were Communists. 'We're just left-wing socialists.' So I did a series of 12 broadcasts to set the scene. And I made it in three languages." English. Malay. Mandarin. 20 minutes each. "When I finished each broadcast, the director of the station couldn't see me. Went into the room and found me lying on the floor trying to recover my breath." "But it was a fight for survival. Life or death." On where trust comes from: "It's difficult to establish trust in times of calm. You just say, 'Well, it's an argument, therefore I'm a better guy than you.'" "But when the chips are down and you can get eliminated in a very unpleasant way and you show that you're prepared for it and you'll fight for them, it makes a difference." "Without that trust, we could not have built Singapore." On IQ vs EQ: Harvard asked him: would you prefer high IQ or high EQ in a leader? "IQ, you can get beautiful paper done. Complex formulas worked out. Elegant solutions." "But when you've got to get a team to work and put that formula into practice, you're dealing with human beings." "If you're not good at EQ, you can't sense that A doesn't get on with B, and you put them in the same team. It's no good." He rated his own EQ as 7 or 8 out of 10. His IQ as "maybe 120." But he had colleagues who could sense a person instantly. "He shook hands with the man and said, 'I recoiled when I felt his palm. Evil man.' And he was. How does he know? I don't know." "So I learned whenever I had to do interviews to choose people, I would get people who are very good at seeing through a candidate." On corruption: Singapore in the 1950s was full of deals, bribes, and organized crime. "When we took over, we decided that this was the critical factor. If we did not make it so that every dollar put in at the top reaches the ground as one dollar, we're not going to succeed." "We came in and made a symbolic act. We dressed in white shirts, white trousers, and said we will be what we represent." He put the anti-corruption bureau under his personal portfolio. "I gave the director the authority to investigate everybody and everything. All ministers. Including myself." One of his own colleagues took half a million in bribes. When the investigation started, he asked to see Lee. "I said, if I see you then I'll be a witness in court. So best not see me. Better see your lawyer." The man committed suicide. Left a note saying: "As an oriental gentleman who believes in honor, I have to pay the supreme price." "It's a heavy price. But it reminds every minister that there are no exceptions." On consistency: Lee had three journalists analyze 40 years of his speeches. He asked them: what was the dominant theme? All three said the same thing: consistency. "What I said at the beginning, throughout all that period, the theme stayed loud and clear." "That made it simple. Because you know where you stand with me. And you know what I want to do." On delivering results: "We deliver the homes, the schools, the jobs, the hospitals." "Today, 98% of our people own their own homes. The smallest would be about $100,000 US. The biggest about $300,000." "Once you own that amount of assets, you are not in favor of risking it with a crazy government. Your assets will go down in value." "But that was planned." Why? Because Singapore is small. Everyone does national service. If you're going to fight, you better be fighting for something you own. "So we give everybody a stake." On changing culture slowly: Lee wanted Singapore to speak English. But he couldn't force it. "Had I passed a law and said you will all learn English, we would have had mayhem. Riots." Instead, he let parents watch who got the best jobs. The jobs were already there, from the multinationals and banks. They all used English. "They watched and saw who got the best jobs. And they switched." It took 16 years. "I did not want to have said 16 years. Because in those 16 years I lost 20,000 Chinese graduates who had poor jobs. I wanted to make it shorter. I couldn't. I would have run into flack." On whether leadership can be taught: Lee quoted Isaac Singer, the Nobel Prize winner for Yiddish literature. Someone asked Singer: "Can you make a writer write great literature?" He paused. Then said: "If he has the writer in him, I will make him a good writer in a shorter time." Lee's version: "Can you make a leader of anybody? I don't think so." "He must have some of the ingredients. He must have that high energy level. He must have the ability to project himself, his ideas. He must have the desire, almost instinctively, to say 'let's do something better.' Of wanting to do something for his fellow men and not just for himself and his family." "You can't teach those things. He's either got it or he hasn't got it." "But if he's got that, then you can save him a lot of trouble." On sustaining yourself: Harvard asked how he managed despair over decades of leadership. "If your message is one of despair, then you should not be a leader. You must give people hope." "But there are moments when you feel very down. Either because you're physically down, or emotionally down, or because the world has turned adverse against you." "When you are in that condition, the first thing you do is get a good night's sleep. Then get a swim or chase a ball. Get the cobwebs out of your mind." "If you're not fit, you're going to make mistakes. Physically fit. You must stay physically and mentally fit." In his later years, he learned to meditate. "At the end of 20 minutes to half an hour, my pulse rate can go down from 100 to about 60. You can feel yourself subside. You still your mind. You empty your mind." "Then when you are rested, you resume quietly. You still got the same problems. Maybe you sleep on it. Come back. Look at it for a few days. Then decide." This 2 hour Harvard interview will teach you more about leadership than every business book you've read combined. Bookmark & give it 2 hours this weekend, no matter what.

@felixprehn I don’t see any 3 month T bill at 5.2% ?

The Fed just bought $40.5 billion in US government debt and called it "reserve management" so you wouldn't notice. They stopped calling it money printing in 2022. Changed the name. Same operation. Different press release. Here's what's actually happening. The US government owes $39 trillion. Interest payments alone are nearly $1 trillion a year. That's $1 trillion that produces nothing. No roads, no military, no schools. Just interest to bondholders. To pay that interest, the government borrows more money. To keep borrowing costs from exploding, the Fed buys the debt to keep demand artificially high and yields artificially low. They did this openly from 2020 to 2022 and called it QE. Printed $4.8 trillion. The dollar lost 27% of its purchasing power in three years. Now they're doing $40.5 billion in purchases through mid-May. The Treasury separately bought back $19 billion of its own debt this month. $15 billion of that in a single day. Largest single-day buyback on record. The former Treasury Secretary, the man who ran the 2008 bailout, just went on Bloomberg and said the US needs an emergency plan ready for a sudden drop in demand for Treasuries. His exact words: today's debt leaves "little room to maneuver" compared to 2008. When the guy who bailed out the banks is warning that the next crisis might not be fixable, something is different. Foreign holdings of US Treasuries just dropped below $3 trillion. 16-year low. China dumped to $650 billion. Japan remains the largest holder at $1.24 trillion but the trend is clear. The countries that used to finance America's spending are stepping back. So who fills the gap? The Fed. With money that didn't exist yesterday. That money doesn't disappear. It enters the system. It inflates asset prices. Real estate, stocks, gold, commodities. The people who own assets get richer. The people who save in dollars get poorer. Every time. Without exception. A dollar in 2021 buys 73-76 cents of stuff today. Cumulative inflation of 24-27% in five years. That's not a slow leak. That's a quarter of your savings gone. The institutions running this system are telling you what they think of the dollar with their own money. Central banks bought over 1,000 tonnes of gold last year. Fourth consecutive year. They're converting the currency they print into the one asset they can't print. Where to position: Short-duration treasuries only. T-bills inside 3 months. You collect 5.2% yield and you're not trapped if rates spike. Never long-duration bonds in a printing environment. Long bonds get destroyed. Gold and miners. GLD for direct exposure. GDX for miners running 70%+ margins at $4,800 gold. The miners trade at the widest discount to spot in 20 years. FNV, WPM for royalty streams. Commodity producers. BHP, Rio Tinto, FCX. When the dollar weakens, commodity revenues rise mechanically. You don't need prices to go up. You just need the dollar to go down. And the Fed is making sure of that. Hard assets over paper assets. Real estate in supply-constrained markets. Infrastructure plays (ETN, GEV, PWR) with locked-in government spending. The Fed stopped calling it money printing. That doesn't mean they stopped printing money. The label changed. The math didn't. every week i break down what the Fed is actually doing versus what they say they're doing. former banker. real positions. felixfriends.org/live (the fed just bought $40.5 billion in government debt this month. the treasury bought back $19 billion of its own bonds. the former treasury secretary is calling for an emergency plan. foreign holdings hit a 16-year low. the dollar lost 27% of its purchasing power in five years. they stopped calling it money printing in 2022. they didn't stop printing. they just changed the name.)

@Amockx2022 A pathological liar allowed to wreck havoc on the world stage, affecting other countries and livelihood. Every single person who voted for him needs to be held accountable.

THIS IS SO HILARIOUS 😂😂 🇺🇸 Trump at 18:00 –– "I have made Iran open the Strait of Hormuz so now NATO countries are calling me if i need help to coordinate. I told them i need no help" 🇪🇸 Spain at 18:10 –– 🔥 "That's a lie. We never called him to coordinate with US military at Strait of Hormuz or in fact, anywhere. He is still living in delusion like he did for the last two months" 🤣 Under Perdo Sánchez leadership, it is impossible that Spain will ever bow down to Trump or offer help 🫡

@Acyn “Me as a doctor”, “only the fake news can come up with (me as Christ)” - omg, the lies get more n more ridiculous. I have lost all respect for any American who can support such an outrageous liar. He is mocking your moral values n yr intelligence. Wake up.

Reporter: Did you post that picture of yourself depicted as Jesus Christ? Trump: It wasn't a depiction. I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor. And had to do with red cross as a red cross worker, which we support and only the fake news could come up with that one.

@Acyn “We don't like a pope who says it's ok to have a nuclear weapon. We don't like a pope that says crime is ok." This logic is so twisted. Just because the pope supports peace n humanity does not equal “he likes crime n wants to have nuclear weapon”.Are Trumps’followers dumb or wat?

Reporter: Why did you attack Pope Leo? Trump: I don’t think he’s doing a very good job. He likes crime I guess. We don’t like a pope who says it’s ok to have a nuclear weapon. We don’t want a pope that says crime is ok. I am not a fan of Pope Leo.
