You get what you vote for.

And driven by fear! People who are scared of losing their jobs stop spending and save.

gohike.bsky.social•123 days ago

I plan to buy nothing unless it’s food, gas, or medicine.

jekmann.bsky.social•123 days ago

This is the most powerful protest. They can do absolutely nothing about this. It will drive them mad.

Bc Trump is a PoS.

Wait for 1Q 2025 results of big international companies.

It will be dump.

sigmasquared.bsky.social•123 days ago

Q1 might not indicate a softening market since many companies incorporate their winter holiday sales into quarterly reports (fiscal vs. calendar). Q2, on the other hand, could be more telling—esp. when combined with rising unemployment and increasing delinquencies (mortgage, credit, business, etc.).

fellat.bsky.social•123 days ago

You're right.

I forgot about christmas time.

sigmasquared.bsky.social•123 days ago

That's completely okay, we were just sharing opinions.

sigmasquared.bsky.social•123 days ago

With that being said, I am not optimistic either, but I try my best to account for confounding variables and ignore the tv talking heads mistaken for experts

leonardodaga.bsky.social•122 days ago

Never enough. This man is killing US putting the country in the hands of incompetents and corrupted people. People should be upset for this more than for eggs prices.

wrenbyron.bsky.social•123 days ago

Why is it important for Trump and Musk to see the taxpayers' gold in Fort Knox? Will they try to exchange the gold for $Trump bitcoin? Time to impeach Trump and fire Elon. Time to take.back America. Stop tyanny.

2016-2020 economy under Trump was good only because Obama did well nothing to do with the economic policy of the corrupted real estate man.

goodwins0426.bsky.social•123 days ago

It’s time to remember what you thought you would do to stop this….and START doing it.

bobcg.bsky.social•123 days ago

And screwing up the government beyond repair.

tink51.bsky.social•123 days ago

Who cares about tariffs when you own the libs?

deejred.bsky.social•123 days ago

When they can’t afford to eat they can always eat their MAGA hats.

tink51.bsky.social•123 days ago

They've sure got enough of em

bluerealgood.bsky.social•122 days ago

All of Trump's efforts are only aimed at saving Putin from defeat, everything else is out of his mind.

1987, Krasnov（Trump） , became a Russian agent when he was 40 years old, and by now he has been a Russian agent for 39 years.

karlosrovira.bsky.social•123 days ago

Trumpnomics :D

phoenixg75.bsky.social•123 days ago

Might have something to do with mass layoffs combined with businesses closing because they don't have any workers left after deportations 🤔

malcolmmckinsey.bsky.social•123 days ago

So when nearly half of voters voted for a rapey racist grifting lying cheating felon maybe that doesn’t work out!?!? I’m shocked, shocked.

America Is NOT great under this Dicktator

WARNING!! MAYBE WE SHOULD WATCH WHAT A NINETY YEAR OLD BILLIONAIRE AND TRUE GENIUS AT INVESTING MAY BE TELLING US ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF ANOTHER STOCK MARKET CRISIS COMING SOON IF WE CONTINUE TO ALLOW Comrade Trumpski and Herr Titler Muskrat to destroy our DEMOCRACY!! KEEP WATCHING THE GENIUS!!

kootafoot.bsky.social•123 days ago

And European and China stocks are outperforming US equities! Wow!

picantehawk.bsky.social•123 days ago

MR. Cheeto needs to study the history of the past, last big tariffs sent the United States into a great depression.

What president was the tariff King?
The McKinley Tariff Act of 1890, was an act of the US Congress, then-Representative William McKinley, and became law on October 1, 1890.

Eat your shit or get rid of the orange TFG

aldenpyle.bsky.social•123 days ago

Maybe if you start firing tens of thousands of people and canceling contracts that will lead to many more losing their jobs while also threatening trade wars that would disrupt the economy....you might create a recession....

spartaladysusan.bsky.social•123 days ago

spotlightondoge.bsky.social•123 days ago

Please use the list below to call or message all your legislators. If they are Republican, ask them why they are destroying the US and the deficit voting for 2000B in tax cuts for the rich when DOGE saved <50B.

Great. Consumer spending tanks, private sector hiring is at a virtual standstill with high inflation. A deep recession complete with stagflation is imminent.

swimmer14.bsky.social•123 days ago

Expected and worst still to come from a man that praises Russia, North Korea or China leadership...US is so economic powerful because was different from those countries, could be trusted...MAGA still don't understand that is impossible keep the current economy status without trustable partners

fiverayrays.bsky.social•123 days ago

Pretty sure it is driven by way more than just tariff sentiment.

blue-magpie.bsky.social•123 days ago

It’s the ECONOMY, stupid!

ronduritsch.bsky.social•123 days ago

Get ready for it. Remember when all the bankers and economists were forecasting a Biden inflation recession, and it never happened? Did just the opposite? Now these same geniuses aren’t saying a thing. It’s coming

ericbremer.bsky.social•123 days ago

Not to mention Europeans and Canadians more and more refusing to buy American products.

We’re not going to support that narcissist traitor!

samarkanda2969.bsky.social•123 days ago

🤭

smurfetdj.bsky.social•123 days ago

As an American I fully support this. Apply all the pressure you can.

ericbremer.bsky.social•123 days ago

Thank you!
We sure will!

Stay strong

jekmann.bsky.social•123 days ago

I so hope that the prices will go through the roof. There will be hillbillies with pitchforks and torches by Mar a Lago very soon.
