“'It’d gone way up, you know, probably over-priced,' he said. 'In a short period of time it had really gone up, and so it probably reset itself a little bit.'
Asked whether the market could get back to the same level, Tuberville said, 'No doubt.'
I noted that the consensus has been that the market dive was a direct result of Trump’s tariffs and the economic instability they bring."

"In a Monday interview with Fox News’s Larry Kudlow, Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) suggested the stock market’s recent nosedive was reasonable, even justifiable, because things had simply gotten too lucrative.
I asked Tuberville to elaborate on his statement that the market was 'over-bloated.'”

As Jen Rubin also notes, what Trump is doing to tank the economy has to be set beside his attack on Ukraine and NATO, which says,
"The message to Moscow is do what you will with Ukraine. We'll deliver them on a silver platter."
Ripping apart the federal government and tanking the economy serves no one better than it serves Vladimir Putin. These are dots that need to be connected.

"The newspapers this morning all contain analysis pieces trying to explain why Trump is imposing 25 percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico. You can see the writers struggling, because this is a profoundly self-destructive move — it will impose huge, possibly devastating costs on U.S. manufacturing, while significantly raising the cost of living — without any visible justification."

5 If a candidate is proposing restrictions to health care and education then that candidate is working in direct opposition to the Gospel.
6 A whole life approach to things in general. As opposed to merely “pro-life” this means an attitude that works towards solutions that make the choice for life more likely. So, things like universal child care, access to affordable health care, etc. are to be worked toward.
7 Specific to this election is a consideration of immigration. Here is what the Bible says about that: Leviticus 19:33-34: "When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.” (Note that this is a direct command from God.)
