    He (like Putin) is afraid of the EU. He won’t be able to take Canada if they are allied with the EU

          Trump fucks everything up forcing nations to find other economic alternatives then says I will destroy you if you work together. This is the plot of a bad 70's comic book.

          Once people find or develop those alternatives they wont be back for at least a few generations. Trump doesn't understand that other countries can and will find a replacement for US goods and if necessary US customers. I'm sure though some who are in the right position are ready to exploit this for their own gain. Trump is more than a fool he is a tool.

            I really don't think that's how it works. Like no one has ever sold their house below market to such an extent that one would run to buy it. That makes no sense. If you lose your house, it goes to the bank.

            I was lucky enough to be able to leverage a VA loan, and had a solid and secure job during the 2008 recession, which is the ONLY reason I was able to buy a home. Ever.

            I couldn't do it today. Not 3 years ago during "The bestest economies evar!" Not 6 years ago while the admin was "Making American Great Again"...

            Nope, it was because of a recession, so houses sat on market for 4 or 5 months. Almost any offer was being taken. I even talked the seller down 9K on my home. That's how bad it was.

              That's why I'm telling you, housing doesn't drop. Fallout of 08...amature... Look, my parents bought a house for 75k back when I was just in highschool. We had been renting for a long time. My parents both are blue collar and made maybe 65k combined. But you see that? Income is almost the same as the price of the home? 15 years later I helped make the very last payments. My dad passed away only 5 years after that. Awesome retirement! Right? Fuck that! The house is now worth 1.2million. Uuu! Let's sell it at the height! Yeah gonna make a ton of money! Nope, if you sell you won't be able to afford the next one. Within months inflation leaves you in the dust. I bough a house down the road for 500k before your said 2008 hiccup. Now its 1.3million. And so are the taxes like 10 fold. You can't own anything if you get sick or lose your job. Waiting for the "right moment" that's what vultures. And I'm not criticizing you became when I bought my house everything around me was 700k. So a fixed upper for below market... Yey! 5 years of hard work that I'll never get paid for. I'm on my 3rd house became I need to move around for my job. Go ahead tell me I should rent it out. I did that and learned how renters destroy because they don't own so they don't care. All the tariff stuff, that's gonna send inflation up thru the roof so you won't be able to afford when you think the right moment is coming. You'll just be out on the street still waiting for the right moment. No. The best advice I can give you is to buy the most affordable thing you can be allowed to buy and work you ass off on it so you can upgrade. Once you own a house, you're riding the market. Then you can move when the market drops... If you sell when the market is high. You think its high now? Then sell. LOL you can't predict that market. I just hope that my kids are able to at least stay in our house and be able to pay it off one day. I'm in Washington state. Here taxes are like a python...ohh I can afford that! Goes up to your shoulders... Sure I'll vote for improved roads and schools... Taxes double... WTF! Now you can barely make enough to pay rent and keep from freezing. And Californians read this and think...man I've gone without AC for a year before, just ride it out!...dude, go in the freezer and stay there for 6 months, let me know how that went. Make sure its plugged in. The other side! The one with the ice cubes!

              House prices cratered during 2008-2014... So did interest rates.

                      Trumps wealth depends on him keeping the GOP on his side. The second he loses his lock on them his future is very uncertain. He is already losing more and more ground with the people and unless he can do the old brown shirt thing like hitler in four years he is out.

                          He’s Hindenburg his whole job is setting up the next Hitler. That’s his plan anyway. You can see on his face he already knows how this ends for him.

                                          The world: American tariffs mean we have to de-integrate with the USA and connect with new trading partners.

                                          Trump: If you do that, I'll create more tariffs!

                                          Empty room:

                                          Trump: Shit.
