Is Trump going to successfully destroy the economy therefore proving he is good at something?
He's always been good at fucking up everything he touches.
Also known as the Mierdas Touch
He has a strong history of bankrupting casinos
When did he pause?
The markets recovered for a bit when the tarrifs were lowered.
In order to profit from this, he and his pals need to sell high and buy low. They already profited immensely by selling just before the tarrifs crashed the economy, and then buying back stupid low after the tarrifs crashed the economy. Then selling again after the economy shot back up after tarrifs were lowered.
Expect this to keep happening. This is what a transfer of wealth looks like.
Economy is something else than the stockmarket. In fact, I'd say the two have absolutely nothing in common anymore. The stockmarket is a casino, with Joe Average losing everything once in a while.
Now that's how you write a damn headline. Straight to the point.
Somebody is going to shoot his fat ass
Unfortunately so far only republicans have the violent tendencies and willingness to die to make the attempts... and also they just aren't competent enough.
The other day I woke up to a bunch of text notifications from people, and my first thought was "Did it happen? Did someone shoot him??"
No, it was a bunch of unrelated personal life stuff. But for one dreamy moment...
I kind of do and kind of don't... Trump is a useful idiot to putin, and maybe a few other groups pulling the actual strings. IMO vance is probably scarier in likelyness to be effective.
Trump was completely ineffective before and millions died. Now he's crashing the economy and destroying people's livelihoods and ripping families apart.
There is a case to be had for devil you know, but Vance can also be put in his place. He's smarter but he's also weak willed. He won't handle blowback well.
People rarely seem to consider this.
One can only hope.
He (and/or his family) is/are playing the roller coaster somehow. This was all entirely predictable. He has both the power to tip the scales and the ethical void to scoop money out of whichever side is higher that day.
Its quite obvious
Glad I have relatively recent hardware and wasn’t planning any upgrades any time soon. Fucking madness.
ICE breaks down your door and steals all your electronics
I find that quote dubious, did he really stop calling him “Tim Apple”?
Here we go again...
Wonder what Putin told him to do in their recent phone conversation...
I really can't read all this for my mental health
Someone gimme a tldr if important enough pls
More tariffs. More chaos. Apparently Tim Apple forgot to
bribebuy enough $trump coinAnother calculated hit to the stock market so the super wealthy can buy at the dip and profit again before trump reverses it and the stock market skyrockets again, further inflating this garbage bubble
Think this is thirdsies

No .............
The American government is allowing this orange fascist to do whatever he wants
The American people aren't doing or saying anything to oppose it
One man doesn't have that much power, power is given by a group of people who just stand aside and do nothing to stop the person who is doing these things.
You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. You may want to do a bit more research next time before shitting all over the people of entire country.
I have my sympathies for the American people .... as individuals you guys are great .... but as a country, it's a dumpster fire that no one wants to put out.
People are working damned hard to put it out - why on earth do you think they aren't?
Because the only major news I hear from south of the border is how it is getting worse every day ..... and not better
So just spitballing here, but which is more likely - nobody is doing anything at all to try and stop this, or that you've bought into a largely manufactured perspective given to you by the (spectacularly) captured international news media system?
(There's been protests, many of them getting quite violent, every single day of this bullshit in the US. Just so you know.)
Someone doest read the news.
Or do you only watch media run by for-profit corporations?
