EUR/USD: Levels, Ranges, Targets
|Trump failed twice on two executive orders to restrict Syrian refugees. The healthcare bill failed as it was designed to do for failure to eliminate taxes to government. The latest Executive Order to review funding for Sanctuary cities failed. Instead of closing government Friday, Trump caved on his build the wall policy and the funding will wait until later in the year. Two successes of the 67 Executive Orders signed by Cave man Trump was to eliminate Section 2 of Dodd Frank and the Fiduciary Rule and eliminate and/or severely reduce regulations.
The two foremost principles for Republican Party formation in 1856 was eliminate slavery and later no taxes. Immigration policy was well established in the 1920's by law and by Republicans and it was the governing policy until a slight tweak in 1952 by passage of Mccarran/Walter. Mccarran Walter was seriously violated by the Hate group and national security threat known as the Democrat Party.
Trump's customary "see you in court" response is again another Democrat win as the government will litigate over months and years. Cave man Trump so far is another in a long line of Republicans to not understand Democrats nor how to fight. Trump follows the rule of law while Democrats never follow laws. Trump should stand proud to close government until the Democrats capitulate on wall funding because to cut government slashes power of Democrat allies in Public Unions. Unless extremes are taken by Trump to fight Democrats then Democrats will always win.
Democrats will fight tax cuts to the bitter end and its questionable if Trump has the ability to win. The start of the Democrat fight is to introduce human stories by ordinary Americans how tax cuts will wreck their way of life. Then stories progress to Government deficits. The first stories appeal to emotions then comes the negativity of tax cuts. The methodology is as old as the Democrat Party. Cut government and deficits will lose lustre as an issue.
Traditionally, economics drove markets, today markets are politically dominated but again if Trump finds ability to fight then this lopsided conundrim will change.
