"I'm not part of the president's political team" is not quite as absurd as when Leavitt insisted that Trump was always the best-read person in the room. But it's very close.
Acyn@Acyn
Leavitt: That's a question that's political by nature, as you know, I'm not part of the president's political team anymore. I do sit here at the White House as a government employee

@JamesSurowiecki Nobody cares about The Atlantic, which is about as irrelevant as it gets.
English
This is a remarkably dumb tweet. The 2nd headline is not substantively different from the first, and has the same dek. It's just punchier and better captures what the piece is about.

Nothing says "we stand by our reporting" like ye olde ghost-edit title swap on The Atlantic's "Operation Get Kash" hitpiece

I've seldom had people so angry at me here as yesterday when I cautioned against hyper-pessimism over Iran.

@Matt_Pinner $30m maybe. The issue is that I don’t really need the money.

If someone paid you $300,000 to not have a single drop of alcohol for a year, would you do it?

@gnoble79 @ReconFiat @LawrenceLepard @NeilJacobs @APompliano @BitPaine Not sure, maybe it’s just me, but I don’t think the fall of 2024 was four years ago
English
The chart shows $BTC is flat since the fall of 2024.
That is a four year total return of ZERO!
Number no go up no more.
If I owned an asset that generated zero return over four years, that would certainly cause me to question my assumptions.
It would certainly give me pause.
But do you think $BTC maxis do as such?
No, instead they become more nasty and profane when questioned.
Rational? No.
Emotional? Yes.
Denial is not the name of a river in Egypt!

Get your facts straight asshole
Was actually a great six year run at Fidelity, followed by two very successful hedge funds.
You really aren’t very good at this.

@JamesSurowiecki His investors in that deal are going to make spectacular returns (just like his investors in all his other deals).

Mush had to spend $44 billion to buy Twitter because he lost in his effort to not buy it.

Bottom of the 9th, Game 7 of the World Series. Bases loaded, 2 outs, and your team is down by 1
Mariano Rivera is on the mound. You have your choice of any hitter, of any era, in his prime. Who gets the call?

@sarhaynes @blloyd8298 Impressive conspiracy. Our players had to be in on it.
English
@blloyd8298 With no evidence, but can I make a totally unfounded conspiracy theory? The ACC wanted Miami in the CFP, not Virginia. The only way that happens is if Virginia loses the ACC Championship...
English
Two things can be true.
UVa played way above expectations this season and accomplished one of the best seasons in program history
UVa also had a chance to win an ACC title and compete in the CFP and squandered a chance in a game they absolutely should have won last night

@JamesSurowiecki The highest inflation of this century was when the @JoeBiden administration used COVID as an excuse to shut down productive economic activity for far too long spent tax-payers’ money like a crack-addicted (son of the President and) drunken sailor
English
Inflation is up 3% year-over-year, core inflation also up 3%. Both are well above the Fed's target, and higher than what inflation was a year ago, when Trump was going on and on about high prices. But now 3% inflation is "really good," and Trump is lying about prices going down.

NEC Director Kevin Hassett on the September CPI report: "It was a really good report for a number of reasons. The first is that it went down a little bit from August... it was a little bit below expectation."

@JoshMandell6 Weird how u just block anyone who says anything, slightly, negative.
NOT cool.
Thicken the skin (before it’s too late)

@JamesSurowiecki The Pentagon’s mission statement is, literally, to waste taxpayer money.
English
Until Congress says otherwise, you're not the Department of War. You're the Department of Defense. Stop wasting taxpayer money on this nonsense.
Department of War 🇺🇸@DeptofWar
WE ARE THE WAR DEPARTMENT.

Completely incredible. Lutnick and Trump brag about getting South Korea to invest billions in the U.S., then turn around and arrest South Koreans who were here temporarily in the U.S. to help Hyundai set up a factory in Georgia. The stupidity burns.
Reuters@Reuters
South Korea's government said its citizens' rights must not be violated in the course of Korean businesses' work in the US, noting 'many' of its nationals had been detained after an immigration raid at a Hyundai Motor facility in Georgia reut.rs/4lUAXv7

@JamesSurowiecki It’s been quite a while since US Presidents cared about the constitution.
English
Alexander Hamilton's tariff was passed by Congress and was therefore constitutional. Trump's tariffs have been arbitrarily imposed by whim - 50% on Brazil - and pursuant to no law, and are woefully unconstitutional.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent@SecScottBessent
Alexander Hamilton used tariffs to raise revenue and empower American industry. Following that same tradition, @POTUS is rebalancing trade to put America First.

Apple's capital expenditures + R&D spending across the entire company were $41 billion in 2024. And now they're going to invest $600 billion over four years?
Tim Cook@tim_cook
Apple is expanding our US commitment to $600 billion over the next four years. And our new American Manufacturing Program will bring even more jobs and advanced manufacturing to the US.
English
Nothing Lutnick says about this plan makes sense. If the Japanese govt is giving the U.S. $550 billion, it's taxpayer money. Trump cannot decide on his own, without congressional approval, how to spend it. Nor can the U.S. build factories without congressional authorization.
Acyn@Acyn
Lutnick: This is the Japanese government giving Donald Trump $550 billion and says "Go fix whatever you need to fix." Donald Trump can take the Japanese money and say "Let's go build a factory and get an American company to operate it. We will lease them the factory. If they don't make much money, so what?" That's the beauty of this. Donald Trump calls it a signing bonus.
English
@JamesSurowiecki It’s now in writing with incontrovertible public evidence, irrespective of who uncovered and what their secondary motives may or may not have been
English
"It's now in writing" is such a funny line. Trump's handpicked subordinate reached the exact conclusion he wanted her to reach, and then wrote it down. It must be true, then.
English
@JamesSurowiecki Trump is, consistently, funny.
Funniest POTUS ever, by far.
English
It is very funny that this guy - who does not know how percentages work - criticized Harvard students for having to take an introduction to calculus course.
