Deal Watch…Don’t Hold Your Breath!

Chris blasts the lack of progress in Trump’s tariff negotiations with Japan and the EU, despite overhyped Truth Social posts claiming success. With no deals secured, small businesses face uncertainty, markets reel from volatility, and a “Trump tariff line item” threatens higher prices. Markowski slams media distractions, calls out Senate Republicans’ cowardice, and challenges Trump supporters to refute his facts, warning that unchecked chaos could unravel the economic rationale behind Trump’s 2024 victory. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Watchdog on Wall Street podcast explaining the news coming
out of the complex worlds of finance, economics, and politics
and the impact it we'll have on everyday Americans. Author,
investment banker, consumer advocate, analyst, and trader Chris Markowski.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
So we're on deal watch.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
Don't hold your breath. I would hold your breath here again,
lot lots of lots of truth social posts about how
great the meeting was with Japan and have we got
a deal? Nope, nope, nothing. I here in crickets. Oh

(00:40):
you got Charlie Gasparino. Charlie Gasprino coming out, putting out
some tweets in the New York Post saying it's coming
thoughts all it went real well and uh, you know,
my sources are telling me, sources are telling you bunk. Okay,
We've got nothing. We've got nothing. Let's give the rundown

(01:02):
of Japan. Came left nothing. You had the European Union
and come and meet with Lutnik, which, why would you
ever do that? That's got to be awful. I felt
bad for the European Union on that one. Yeah, European Union,
you wanted to bring down to tariffs nothing Trump? Yeah,
and you've got Italian Prime minister. I'm a big fan

(01:25):
of Georgia Maloney in town flew in. I guess she's
doing her bit to you know, kiss the ring. I
guess Trump loves that stuff. We got anything, no, no, no,
I guess Trump is going to have to come to
Europe and they're gonna have to do all these things.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Meanwhile, meanwhile, while we're all holding our breath and small
businesses are holding their breath around the country waiting for
some semblance of order, sanity, direction.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
Because we've got none. We've got no direction, We've got
no sandy, nothing makes sense. Everybody comes out of these meetings,
they're like, I don't know, they keep changing their mind
all over the place. We don't know what they want again,
you know, sorry, you know, I say again, I didn't.
I didn't vote for this chaos. I didn't. And it's

(02:16):
getting funnier to watch the various different pundits and sycophants
on Fox News and social media bending over backwards trying
to cover for this nonsense and what's taken place, because
that's what they're doing. I mean, they're doing everything to
change the subject, everything to focus on you know, uh,

(02:38):
Senator Holland going down to l Salvador, or that Camarlow
and Anthony stabbing in Texas. Anything, anything to get the
focus off the task at hand. Why did Why did
Trump win? People were ticked off at flation, They were

(03:00):
ticked off at higher prices. That was one of the
big reasons to go back and take a look at
the polling. Yeah, sure, won't crap played a part in it.
Sure the border played a part in it. But then
the next few weeks when people start seeing that line

(03:20):
item on their bills, the Trump tariff line item, the
Trump Trump tax line item, and they see their prices
going up, and they're taking a look at this insanity
when it comes to the volatility in the markets every
single day going to be over. It's going to be over.

(03:45):
It was interesting. Lisa Murkowski from Alaska Senator and I'm
not not a big fan of hers by any stretch
the imagination. She basically said, most of the most members
of the Senator are just chicken. They won't open them
or mouths. Are all afraid of retaliation. Quite frankly, aside
from a couple afraid of saying a d damn thing

(04:07):
and sticking up for what's right. At some point in time,
some point in time, someone's got to rain this in. Okay,
it's not a joke, it's not funny anymore. The tweets
aren't funny. This is not when anybody wanted again. You know,

(04:27):
if you are one of those people that again, you
you're an idol worship you worship at the altar of
Donald Trump and his minions and a sick That's one thing. Okay,
I've yet to hear. I've yet to hear, and I
trust me. I got a lot of emails and a
lot of Trump's are not happy with me now and

(04:48):
my criticism. Challenge me, Challenge me, Challenge anything I said.
Challenge any I brought receipts on every damn podcast a numbers.
Challenge me. Okay, don't throw bs at me. Okay, don't
hate the messenger, you know, don't deride the messenger. Okay,

(05:10):
look at things and a spectrum of truth rather than lies.
