@realDonaldTrump
There’s no literature or poetry in the White House. No music. No Kennedy Center award celebrations. There are no pets in this White House. No loyal man’s best friend. No Socks the family cat. No kids’ science fairs. No times when this president takes off his
blue suit-red tie uniform and becomes human, except when he puts on his white shirt-khaki pants uniform and hides from Americans to play golf. There are no images of the first family enjoying themselves together in a moment of relaxation. No Obamas on the beach in Hawaii moments,
or Bushes fishing in Kennebunkport, no Reagans on horseback, no Kennedys playing touch football on the Cape.
I was thinking the other day of the summer when George H couldn’t catch a fish and all the grandkids made signs and counted the fish-less days. And somehow, even if you
didn’t even like GHB, you got caught up in the joy of a family that loved each other and had fun. Where did that country go? Where did all of the fun and joy and expressions of love and happiness go?
We used to be a country that did the ice bucket challenge and raised millions
for charity. We used to have a president that calmed and soothed the nation instead dividing it. And a First Lady that planted a garden instead of ripping one out. We are rudderless and joyless. We have lost the cultural aspects of society that make America great. We have lost
our mojo, our fun , our happiness. The cheering on of others. Gone. The shared experiences of humanity that makes it all worth it. Gone. The challenges AND the triumphs that we shared and celebrated. The unique can-do spirit Americans have always been known for. Gone.

Kernan has explicitly and implicitly attacked me for five years.
I wrote to his boss (Mark Hoffman) on numerous occasions for an apology and for him to refrain from ad hominem attacks and repeated lies and non factual comments about me and my positions.
I tried to settle this by asking for an apology and for a guarantee that he would discontinue his crap. I have not heard back from Mark. While this is unfortunate, I am now free to speak my mind going forward. As Grandma Koufax used to tell me "Dougie he is screwing with the
wrong hombre." Many investment professionals dont publicly speak out about him (but many reach out to me and others) and his attacks because they want to have an opportunity to appear on @CNBC and @SquawkCNBC I understand their positions but I couldn't care less about appearing

Minding Mr. Market
* I remain bullish over the near term...
* And bearish over the intermediate term
* Wednesday's market was extraordinarily strong - likely characterized by a continued "offsides" position by a number of market participants
* I expect a smaller and targeted fiscal stimulus package in the next few days - but nothing close to the Democratic party's $2.2 trillion proposal
* While this normally would frighten the markets, with the growing likelihood of a "Blue Wave," the U.S. stock market will likely
look more positively at a far more sizeable February stimulus bill early in 2021
Always consider the contrary as the odor of "group stink" can be foul... @jimcramer @tomkeene @business @ferrotv @carlquintanilla @michaelsantoli @terranovajoe @guyadami @riskreversal @Sarge986

This is amazing....
An Eerily Prescient Surprise for 2020
* In January, before Covid-19 was a speck in our country's eyes, I warned about President Trump's health
In early January I delivered my annual 15 Surprises for 2020 realmoney.thestreet.com/dougs-daily-di….
My #1 Surprise (particularly this below) has proved eerily prescient:
"Under the weight of the pressure of running for reelection, a hectic travelling schedule and poor eating habits, President Trump's health catches up to him. A significant health problem is disclosed in the

Bret Stephens:
"We wish him well because we are better than he is. We are better than the man who mocked Hunter Biden for his substance-abuse issues. We are better than the man who called NeverTrumpers “human scum.” We are better than the man who wants to put his political
opponents in jail. We are better than the man who publicly humiliates his own advisers. We are better than the man who demeaned the gold-star parents of a fallen soldier. We are better than the man who pantomimed the physical disabilities of a reporter. We are better than the
man who stiffs his suppliers and swindles his “students.” We are better than the man who uses his celebrity to grope. We are better than the man who took a bone-spur draft deferment so that he could live to denigrate the courage of prisoners of war. We are better than the man

There is so much protocol and movement of others involved with this move out of his hospital room to an automobile waving to his base. He is not thinking about security or health - as always, he thinks about himself and his campaign. If any patient in a hospital in the US with
Covid decided to venture out of that hospital...they would be restrained by psychiatrists. If the @realdonaldtrump supporters out there believe I and others have TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) I respond .. that you all have TAC (Trump Acceptance Syndrome). And that is far
more dangerous than TDS as TAC puts the health of Americans at risk and has contributed to 210k US deaths already. Trump sees everything thru his political lens - and that stands before our well being and health. There are neurological ramification of Covid and perhaps we are

Written nearly twelve months ago my 15 Surprises for 2020 on @realmoney focused on President Trump.
It was my #1 Surprise and included an easy Biden win over other Dem nominees, a surprisingly large electoral college win over @realdonaldtrump who experienced a significant
health problem that sidelined him from participating in campaigning for a period of time.
The ultimate outcome: "In December, 2020, President Trump announces his plans to launch Trump TV. Sean Hannity leaves Fox News - assuming a duel role as CEO of Trump TV as well as the
station's chief commentator. Rush Limbaugh and several Fox News commentators join Trump TV. "
