  4. But Biden doesn’t know what he’s doing because he’s old and has a stutter

  5. The criminal is just pillaging the government. I dunno how people are still too stupid to see that.

    Enough is enough, he and all his accomplices need to go. Patriots don’t let Russian assets destroy their countries.

  6. By now you would hope most people are aware that this is a feature not a bug, but you’d be wrong. The plan is to crash the economy more than this and for trumps oligarch tech bro donors to buy everything for pennies on the dollar and literally own the country. Almost like Project 2025 and R.A.G.E was the plan the whole time.

    And before you ask “why isn’t anyone doing something to stop them? Where are the dems?”

    Most of the powerful dems own stock too, you bet your ass they’re making bank and buying the dip just like the tech bros, there’s not a single sitting member of the US government, on either side of the aisle that is gonna be worrying about the price of groceries, or heat, or electric, but we will. To quote George Carlin, its a big club and you ain’t in it.

  8. “Democrats need to EARN my vote.”

    “Genocide Joe.”

    “Both sides.”

    We deserve this.

  10. trump is a bold dealmaker maverick that makes moves others are too smart or well-informed to even consider!
    Losing your ass thanks to a reality TV criminal dirtbag -now that’s greatness, friends! 😂

  11. Speaking of plows, this is a good time to invest in one. After the next pandemic wipes out most of the country, we’ll need people with plows to do the hard labor in their agricultural communes and occasionally burn witches when they reveal they have skills in math and science.

  13. Just an fyi, that money doesn’t disappear it goes to the sellers. The rich are always in the loop before us, they know when to get out.

  14. Maga really would eat a shit sandwich given to them by trump himself if it meant the Libs had to smell their breath.

  15. Interesting interview with Kara Swisher and Elizabeth Warren about Trumps tariffs are another effort in his corruption tactics to steal money for himself. Impeach this vial human and remove those working alongside him to destroy our democracy.

    Tariffs can be used for corruption in several ways, often benefiting politicians, government officials, or businesses at the expense of consumers and fair competition. Here are some common methods:

    1. Bribery and Kickbacks – Government officials responsible for setting or enforcing tariffs may accept bribes from businesses to impose higher tariffs on competitors’ imports or to grant exemptions.

    2. Favoritism and Cronyism – Politicians may selectively impose or remove tariffs to benefit businesses owned by allies, family members, or donors, giving them an unfair market advantage.

    3. Misuse of Tariff Revenues – Instead of using tariff revenues for public services or infrastructure, corrupt officials may siphon off funds for personal enrichment.

    4. Manipulation of Tariff Rates – Officials may suddenly change tariff rates to create market instability, allowing insider investors to profit from price fluctuations.

    5. Customs Fraud and Smuggling – Corrupt customs officials may allow businesses to underreport the value of imported goods, classify them under lower-tariff categories, or smuggle goods in exchange for bribes.

    6. Weaponizing Tariffs for Political Gain – Leaders may use tariffs to pressure or punish political opponents by imposing high duties on industries tied to them, harming their businesses.

    These practices harm economies by distorting markets, discouraging competition, and increasing prices for consumers.

  17. For a Monday it’s not bad!; double tomorrow? he better sell a lot of those 5 mill visas to his Afrikaner friends.

  18. But but Musk told us he saved tons of money, like a 100B!!

  19. Keep on losing, I mean winning US. Canada strong 🇨🇦

  20. Please don’t call this the ‘Trump Slump’. That makes it sound like a minor downturn. It is the Trumpcession.

  21. It’s going to take YEARS of tariffs to make up for the 4 trillion dollars we lost today. Nice fucking work idiots.

  23. It would honestly be cheaper and more humane for the entire world, to pay them all $5 million a year for the rest of their lives as long as they impeach all of the Trump cronies.

  25. Are you guys ever actually going to do anything about it – asking for a neighbouring country?

  29. This was 100% planned. Those who paid Trump to know aren’t losing anything.

  30. I hope no one is surprised. Could have seen this coming from miles, light-years even, away.

  31. U S A 🇺🇸💩 The biggest Turds on earth! Let’s go! Make America Depressed Again.

  32. He said things would be cheaper. Stocks and ETFs are cheaper.

  34. It’s almost as if electing a guy who has failed at every business he tried is not the best person to make economic decisions

  35. It’s because he’s a Russian agent, trying to destroy America before anyone can stop him.

  36. Can someone please follow the money back to Trump betting against this economy? Did Elon and Trump go all in on shorting US stocks? Seems plausible. These dudes are purposely tanking the economy.

  37. THIS IS WHAT WINNING FEELS LIKE BABY!

    Suck it libs.

    This country is a dumpster fire.

  39. Biden handed Trump a good enough economy, not great but not bad either, and he manages to tank it almost single-handedly in less than two months. That’s the 6 time ~~champion~~ bankruptcy businessman we all know!

  40. Does anyone remember Liz Truss? She was a right-wing UK prime minister for about 15 minutes.

    She blew in and instituted a bunch of ridiculous bullshit that completely crashed their economy, then was removed in short order. Replaced by Rishi Sunak, who then lost to Kier Starmer of the Labor Party.

    I also seem to remember Mussolini was hung upside down from a lamppost and stoned to death.

    Isn’t history great.

  41. The US stock market essentially lost a German economy in terms of money, given trump has not been in office for very long, I think the US economy would be lucky to still be No1# by the end of his term

  42. Not really the way you pay off a 27 trillion dollar deficit , go deeper in the hole. Sounds more like a bad gambling addict.
