More hints that trade "window dressing" may be in play to fool and distract patriots/conservatives.

in #informationwar5 years ago

The stock market was definitely in major trouble the past couple of weeks, UNTIL the indications shifted from a legitimate hope by patriots/conservative that Chinese unfair trade practice were actually being addressed to the type of smoke & mirrors that has buoyed the Wall Street fat cats and their clients. What happened?

This:

One tweet from MAGA man, and all was right on Wall Street again:

"Just had a long and very good conversation with President Xi Jinping of China. We talked about many subjects, with a heavy emphasis on Trade. Those discussions are moving along nicely with meetings being scheduled at the G-20 in Argentina. Also had good discussion on North Korea!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 1, 2018"

Okay...this tells me a couple of things... First, I don't think that the President is saying the same things to Wall Street in private that he says to his sycophants at the rallies regarding his stances toward China. I strongly suspect everything he says to his supporters is matched by a sly wink and a nod when discussing the REAL STATE of U.S.-Sino Trade relations with the banksters and their allies.

Trump is no dummy. He knows he scores MAJOR political points doing all these WELL-TRUMPETED "things" on the trade front, while, in reality, most of what he is doing (as I have written about in this blog many times before) is actually negated in reality, or in the fine print. Perfect, huh?

Here is another case in point, beyond those examples I have previously provided:

It sure does seem that the President has mastered the Rockefeller technique of looking good in public while acting in the interest of the billionaire class in private.

I hope I am wrong.

I HOPE ALL THE 450-D CHESS THEORY PROPONENTS of the inner-workings and mysteries of Trumpism turn out to be right.

I just can't buy it. For me, reality has to match rhetoric, and there are simply too many cases where the two don't match, even partially.

We'll see....
