  2. He said he was going to be magas revenge. I think a lot of people misconstrued that as revenge on Democrats, when in reality it’s revenge on the United States itself.

    Maga hates Republican politicians too, just not half as much as they hate Democrats.

  3. If other countries learn they can succeed just fine without trade with the USA, the market isn’t going to come back like Trump expects.

  4. I thought crashing the market was a bad thing. Apparently, so did Trump. Today the market is lower than it was on August 4 of last year.

    STOCK MARKETS CRASHING. I TOLD YOU SO!!! KAMALA DOESN’T HAVE A CLUE. BIDEN IS SOUND ASLEEP. ALL CAUSED BY INEPT U.S. LEADERSHIP!

  5. https://archive.is/6MkIi Interesting article, looks like it’s an AI generated video that he linked to.

    It’s unlikely that all that the video purports will really come into pass. But heck, blow up the world just on a thesis.

    > As previously reported by Rolling Stone, advisers close to the president say the tariffs were not designed around careful economic calculations, but shock value.

    Well I for one am shocked, so that part worked

  6. Burning it down like a ‘70’s NY apartment block, for the insurance money you say?

  7. Just like he purposely bankrupted casinos. I have a feeling this won’t end well.

  8. Him and his goons want to buy stocks dirt cheap and sell them off when they rebound in the future

  9. Isn’t there a word for when a public official intentionally acts against American interests?

  10. Historically, how many populous uprisings has there been due to a leader tanking its countries economy?

  11. That’s been his plan. Crash the market and buy low, then push his tax cut so that even more wealth goes to his rich buddies.

  13. Trump is good damn Herbert Hoover.

    You know, **The Republican** who caused the Great Depression.

    Donald Trump basically told the ghost of Hoover to *hold my beer*.

  14. After it crashed. “GUYS I TOTALLY MEANT TO DO THAT.”

    He fires from the hip, waits for someone to produce some psuedo-intellectual garbage poorly explaining how genius it was, then chooses the most popular explanation as his reason.

    Keep this in mind for the next debacle and tell me if it plays out different.

  15. This has been a trend with this administration.

    “We said we were going to do it, so you can’t complain.”

    “We answered that question already and won’t be following up. Stop asking.”

    “We investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing.”

  16. My MAGA acquaintances are celebrating the market drop even though they’re deeply invested in it through retirement accounts. If Trump handed them a shit sandwich, they’d say it’s the most delicious thing ever.

  17. > “What about his tariffs? I’ll tell you, it’s a genius play,” the video adds. “It actually forces companies to build here to dodge them.

    Brb, making a multimillion dollar down payment on a factory build that will take several years, based on the word of a guy whose last round of tariffs lasted about 36 hours

  19. when i was a kid i thought the military was there to protect usa from threats both foreign and DOMESTIC

    oh how naive i was

  20. I strongly feel he isn’t just getting political revenge on his enemies, he’s screwing America over for not allowing him to remain in office when Biden won

  21. So he has purposely locked people up illegally (2016/2025), killed people with lies (2020), ruined partnerships our nation has had for years (2016/2025), crippled parts of our government (2016/2025), and is now purposely killing the economy. I might be a small town bird lawyer but aren’t these crimes against humanity or at the very least treason?

  22. So our 401ks will go to shit and they’ll ruin/cut social security. Now I ask my fellow Americans, what more do we have to lose besides our chains?

    This is a coup of our government by the billionaires and corpos. Curtis Yarvin neo feudalism is the goal. No fucking thank you.

  23. I have said this all along. Crashing the stock market and economy will only allow more wealth to transfer to the rich. Those rich will not pay taxes, will not raise wages, will not use that money to benefit society. The money will just accumulate and make rich people more money.

  24. Okay, impeach him. Convict him. Remove him.

    He’s purposefully crashing the stock market. Any American with a 401k is getting shafted.
