Russian meddling continues and Trump couldn’t care less

Aug 3

You can buy Trump products online. But you have to go to the dark web to buy the actual Trump. It accepts bitcoin, and rubles.

Second, if you think the stock market means good things are happening in the rest of the economy, you flunk Econ 101. The stock market only reflects future expected corporate profits.
