Watching Cramer last night telling everyone they should have stayed the course and not sold, implies that the markets are stable again. They are not. And now the economy is also damaged. And Trump is still mercurial.

"and good policy decisions"

Yeah, good luck with that.

taradanger.bsky.social•75 days ago

That last sentence could have been much shorter. We all know none of that will be happening for at least 3 1/2 years, UNLESS we absolutely kill it in the midterms & by this I mostly mean, don't get cheated.

So many everyday conservatives are confused as to why their portfolios haven't recovered today. They were sooo gleeful when the fake tariff pause was announced. They have no clue that long-term damage was done. At least they have blind faith in the art of the deal.

friendlighost.bsky.social•75 days ago

There was a real tariff pause it's just still stupid and it's not like, all of the tariffs gone

curieux-un.bsky.social•75 days ago

Plus the import taxes have not been paused in the way they imagined.

MAGA news gives them misleading headlines.

“MAGA news gives them misleading headlines” is the understatement of the century.

And I would include some reporting by WPO and NYT.

It’s mind boggling at times.

No one can predict one day to the next, just the way Trump likes it. He wants you hanging on his every word

Tariffs are not resolved. Big tariffs are still going through.

“I'm reminded of the feeling when you're on a rickety bus in the Andes going way too fast around the curves that have no guardrails next to a precipitous plunge, you try to convince yourself that the driver knows what he's doing, but every hairpin turn strongly suggests otherwise.” - a friend

pottymouthpundit.bsky.social•75 days ago

Yep, the damage is done! But hey, at least Trump, some of his broligarchs and some members of Congress illegally cashed in, ammirite?!

Americans blew any credibility they had. Faith in markets is shattered. Tourism is dead because no one wants to get sold into an El Salvadoran slave labour camp just for crossing the border. This golden age isn't really looking that great.

petewojtkowiak.bsky.social•75 days ago

Don’y worry, the tax cuts will make up for 10-20% of that.

Unless you make a ton of money, in which case you’ll get 2-3,000% of that.

Corruption. It’s what’s for dinner. And breakfast. And lunch.

The tax cut saved me $8 a month. A cup of overpriced Starbuck’s.

Pumping that money right back into the economy - doing your part. Thank for for your service!

So let's see...

No new factories.

No new deals with trade partners.

Stock market still below levels before Liberation Day.

Recession probability still way up vs. before Liberation Day.

So much winning! When will the winning end?

dissentinator.bsky.social•75 days ago

That will at least stop the "winning" but it's still going to take a LOOONG time to rebuild :(

the cold light of morning is making clear Trump's Tariff pause is less sexy then she seemed at the bar last night

kevinshelton.bsky.social•75 days ago

And it's not a pause.

henrythedog.bsky.social•75 days ago

thus the less sexy.

Yup, we are fucked for generations. All trust in the US is lost.

Trump's attempt to put a band-aid on a gaping wound that he created, is as ridiculous as the accolades his followers are giving him for his being a, "SO CALLED", GENIUS!

He is DESTROYING our economy, & our reputation. He's an old demented fool, who doesn't know what he is doing. Worse, he's surrounded by idiots!
