He's rambling because it's a coping mechanism...he knows Trump's gone and screwed up royally and it's a total vindication of all those who warned about how dangerously incompetent Trump is. So he needs to convince himself that someone else in this case Europe is someone responsible for an even bigger offense. It's just away of shutting down down criticism and and blaming other people for Trump/America's stupidity.

Look at the chart you posted.
1) What was the state of the world economy at the start of your chart? Do you remember that the US had just finished printing $5 trillion? Be a good boy and post the same chart but from 2 years earlier than that.
2) Can you spot a trend on the chart?
3) Did you expect that Trump's election would immediately reverse that Trend?
Shark just admit….your whole point about NATO budget sharing was a mistake. Just as your point about the US stealing 100 million from Switzerland was a mistake. Be honest and admit your mistakes. Same goes for the wee Mick who disappears every time he is exposed. Cowardly stuff.
As for the question Plum raised, include the 2021 data onwards. That will give you the picture. Job growth was dropping throughout the Biden term, precipitously in 2024 because he threw so much free money stimulus around he created inflation. Trump inherited an economy where interest rates had been ratcheted up. The other reason job growth slowed was the curtailing of illegal immigration’.
Do please try to understand things and not post the first thing you read in the left wing trash media.
Nice graph SB. I think it tells its own story.
It was a mistake to consider independent military budgets as part of the NATO umbrella.
Otherwise, we could consider the Iran operation a NATO-funded project, which it is clearly not.
@Buttplug.
Copy and paste that image into ChatGPT.
Then enter the Prompt"Explain this chart to a 6-year old".
Response below:
Imagine a big country where people get jobs every month.
This picture is showing how many new jobs were made each month.
At the start, there are very tall bars. That means lots and lots of jobs were being added.
Some of these big numbers happened because of COVID.
When COVID ended, many people went back to work, so it looks like a big jump.
But even after that early jump, the bars are still quite tall for a long time.
That means a lot of jobs were still being created, even when things were more normal.
?? So in this blue area, job creation is generally higher.
Now look at the smaller bars on the right.
These bars are much shorter.
Some even go below zero, which means jobs were actually lost that month.
?? So in this red area, fewer jobs are being created, and sometimes jobs are disappearing.
Even if we ignore the big jump from COVID at the start,
the blue section still shows more job growth overall than the red section.
So, if you were explaining it simply:
?? “Before, lots of people were getting new jobs every month.
?? Now, fewer people are getting jobs, and sometimes people are losing them.”
That’s the main story the chart is telling.
No worries SB, the graph is self-explanatory. I personally don't require Trumpanzee spin to make me understand it any differently.
Maybe we should give Bozo a bit of credit . . . at least two of the jobs he created are worth billions of dollars more than the others.
Those would be the jobs he created for his sons Bozo Jr and Eric the Dim. They got jobs in drone manufacturing . . . just before the war started.
It is not left-wing versus right-wing. It is Trumpanzee logic (lies) against facts.
That stuff may spin inside America, but most of the West prefers facts - regardless of ideology.
SB, did you just use the words "Trumpanzee" and "logic " in the same sentence?
Well done!
No man, guys!
Surely you're trolling with this?
Even without any external knowledge, are you really gonna pretend that you can't see the trend on that chart?
Plum, maybe you should read the version that SB kindly provided for you.
Pay attention to what the tall lines mean compared to the ones that go downward. There's a trend for you.
Do you guys do any trading?
Perhaps it's because I do that most of this stuff is pretty obvious to me. And perhaps I'm taking that for granted.
I suggest asking Chat slightly better questions than "How do I read that chart"
1) What caused the increase in job creation post the initial Covid shock?
2) Why have job creation numbers been trending down and since when have they been trending down?
3) What role has inflation played post Covid in job creation numbers.
4) Bonus question; do you see a trend in that chart and when did the trend begin.
Those are pretty unbiased questions.
See if the answers to those shed some light for you.
Oh right . . . I remember you saying oil would hit $87 and then go back down.
How is your trading going then, Plum?
Those would be the jobs he created for his sons Bozo Jr and Eric the Dim. They got jobs in drone manufacturing . . . just before the war started.
You forget his son in law.......he pocketed 5B and another 100m, all from the Saudi government.
"Oh right . . . I remember you saying oil would hit $87 and then go back down."
That's not what I said.
You are welcome to bring up the post.
...and you're also welcome to visit the "Oil price" thread where I've been charting the oil price and actually making some very solid calls. Including having made the correct call on the trading range which has played out exactly as predicted over the last two weeks.
And if you'd like a little more context, ask Moz about my call on silver a little while ago. I called a short on it the day before it dropped by a the biggest amount in 45 years.
And finally, if you think a hobby trader is able to be 100% correct, and wish to use any wrong calls as some kind of attack vector, good luck to you.
Not sure why you're trying to take a dig but I honestly don't really care. Do what makes you happy or gives you a kick.
ButttPlug, it is painfully obvious that the Biden job numbers were strong long after Covid.
Trump's job numbers are bad - much worse than at any time during the Biden presidency.
A 6-year-old could understand this.
Here you go Plum . . .

Holy shit...people scalped the bajeezus out of the oil price over the last 24 hours.
At 4am it was up to $115...it's now just under 20 hours later and it's down to $90.
Tell you what Stavie, you should put your money where your mouth is because if you're predicting $150, then a nice little 5x leverage trade from here could see you cash in quite nicely.
I'm thinking it's going all the way back down to $80.
Not attacking you. I don't play the stock market so I couldn't really give a toss about the price of oil or silver but I'm just wondering why you keep denying this obviously bad call you made.
