I’ve heard that argument that “The stock market doesn’t impact most people because they have their money in savings” before, and I’ve laughed and laughed as I’ve thought of those people trying to buy eggs or a new washing machine or pay for childcare…
My Trumper co-worker, who is actually quite nice, said today, "stocks will go back up" and I said, well, I haven't looked or I'll cry because I'm sure it's in the negative. Plus, I'm retired!!! I don't have time to wait.
Again, where was the discussion of having to "hang tough"during the campaign? I remember a lot of promises that grocery prices would drop on Day One™, but nothing about having to suffer for an undetermined amount of time while an incompetent slob tried to rearrange the global economy.
Look, this will all work -- if people can live without a job, food, or shelter for just two years.
After those two calorie-free, sleeping-rough years -- then, well baby, you're going to be richer than you ever were.
Or your corpse will be. Well, what's left of it after the coyotes, racoons, and C.H.U.D.s have had their way with it.
C'mon! That's the epitome of the American dream! So what if people who can't hold their breath or go without eating for two years suffer? It will all be worth it.
... might be three or four years. Two to four years, tops. If it goes to five years, that's OK, still not that long to wait, right? Just five or six years -- that's like less than two Olympics -- OK that's at least two Olympics, but still they have those like every two years -- Ok, Ok, at least three Olympics, including the winter ones. You can do that standing on your head. (Which your probably will, by the way.)
I don't see why anyone is complaining. He promised to run the country like a business, and so far, he's staying true to that promise. We're well on our way to bankruptcy, he's likely stealing from himself, he's appointing friends (for some value of friend) to corporate positions, he's intimidating and stealing from small contractors (or states, as we used to call them), and ready to declare complete success when he runs this one into the ground. So exactly like any Trump business.
These grinning assholes look like the fat cats who got fed sautéed canary on a silver saucer with cream--excuse me, creme--saucier.
I hope they choke on it.
Tíu prósenta tollar á Ísland!? Góð helvítis sorg!
The Russo-Republican Economic Plan:
*Puppet announces insane tariffs
*Stock market crashes
*1% buys stock at depressed prices
*Roll back/modify tariffs
*1%-owned stock values soar
*PROFIT!!1!

These are the smartest people Rollins has ever worked with?
I shudder to think who might have been the dumbest.

Ta, MM. As I say every week, I'm glad this is your job. Mine is hard enough.
1) The President cannot impose tariffs.
2) Tariffs are imposed by the Congress.
3) The Congress has not imposed these tariffs.
4) Tariffs contain the word "if".
5) If the Congress has not imposed tariffs there are no tariffs.
6) Why does anyone believe this asshole? About anything? Ever?
Ugh! Rollins needs to stop telling people he's an Aggie.

“Listen, the people that are leading this are serious, intentional, patriotic, the smartest people I have ever worked with.”
JFC! Imagine how dumb the people she had previously worked with must have been if these are the best of the best in her estimation.
She's from Texas and in government. I think it's pretty obvious how stupid the people are that she previously worked with.

It’s like free Ozempic for everyone!

I've applied for a position in the Trump Fragrances division... 🤞‼
Too late! He pardoned the shitterers of 1/6/2021 for just this purpose…
😢
Hassett has the same stupid smirk that Jennings does.
That's the smirk of a liar, who knows he's lying, and knows that there is no repercussions for the lying.
They all have that smirk. That’s the smirk of someone who knows that they’ll be fine even as the peons are forced to eat cat food.
Or cats.
And Mike Johnson, Karoline Leavitt, and dozens of other brain washed assholes.
Bill Ackman: “Business is a confidence game. The president is losing the confidence of business leaders around the globe.”
Dear Ackman, look up the definition of "confidence game." Hint: it's "swindle". And stop trying to promote the book you "wrote" 14 years ago.
Who knew how the market was going to react?
Ray Charles could see that.
