  1. trump and vance are the worst combo for the US economy, Twiddle Dee and Twiddle Dum.

  2. It’s concerning that there have been recent rumors that he is backtracking on things because he’s become very afraid of a depression. It should concern everyone that there is any concern about a depression at that level of government.

  4. for the uninitiated: bond yield going up is generally BAD, not good

  5. Let’s celebrate a “Liberation from Liberation-Day Day” at the rose garden. Who’s in?

  6. That was yesterday. Today the stocks are.. (checks notes)… up! Does this mean we are winning? No.

  7. Project 2025 is playing just as planned
    Rich/poor let the blood spill

  8. This is what happens when you put a failed game show host on charge of your country.

  9. I totally agree with OP—this is really the worst-case scenario for the economy. In case people don’t know why. Quick explanation

    1. **Stocks are down** – When stock prices drop, it’s not just about people losing money in the market. It also affects consumer confidence. People are less likely to spend money if they’re worried about their investments, which slows down the economy. Plus, companies that rely on their stock price for financing might struggle, too.
    2. **Bond yields are up** – This usually happens when investors expect inflation or higher interest rates. It’s a sign that borrowing money is becoming more expensive. For businesses, this makes it harder to get cheap loans to expand or hire more people. For the government, it means paying more interest on debt, which can lead to cuts in other areas. It’s a drag on growth.
    3. **US dollar is falling** – A weaker dollar means things from overseas get more expensive. Whether it’s oil, electronics, or food, the price goes up when the dollar loses value. It can lead to inflation, and as we’ve seen, inflation is a killer for consumer spending. It also makes it harder for US companies that rely on imports to keep costs low.

  11. I’m convinced the goal of this administration is to increase class disparity. For them, it would be ideal if there was a millionaire/billionaire class and a peasant class. Poor people are more subservient.

  12. That weaker dollar thing – wouldn’t that accomplish what Trump thinks he’s accomplishing with tariffs — which he’s withdrawing pretty much as quickly as he royally imposed them.

  13. There is only one side/person to blame don’t let them off the hook

  14. That’s the result when reality is being replaced with some dystopian idea by the so called leaders. Insanity seems to be the new sanity.

  15. When stock were down AND bonds were down, that was pretty bad too.
