The fate of the entire global economy now hinges on one question: will a man who has bankrupted businesses repeatedly for decades listen to the counsel of knowledgeable advisors or continue on his current course of action?

It wasn’t that long ago that he told an entire room full of economists that he was right about tariffs and they didn’t know what they were talking about.
His statagy is quite intentional. He is not a smart man but he has Putin giving him a playbook for authoritarian rule. Play by play. He means great harm. I have little hope he will reverse coarse.
He only listens to Putin. This is all by design, as were his bankruptcies, meant to shield him from paying the many, many people he's stiffed over the years. He probably had someone cook those books to make it LOOK like they failed. He should have been tossed in jail for money laundering instead.
Trade is a huge factor in any economy, if you start screwing global trade and you’re one of the biggest participants in that trade, it’s incredibly destructive.
What kind of nation constructs itself in such a way that:
a) a man with DT’s history can get elected president
b) once a president has put the country in jeopardy there is not a process to get him out of office before the 4 year term is up.
Will the people around the guy making decisions with a child like understanding of what a trade deficit is or how a tariff is paid endeavor to explain to him that he’s destroying things without understanding them?
We know the answer to that, a narcissist will never seek the advice of an expert because he believes that he is the smartest person and is incapable of being wrong
Do not let the GOP off the hook. They are the failed guardrails provided by our constitution. They are equally as responsible as 45 and his administration for this cluster fuck of our life time. They just stand by as he commits crime after crime-on literally the world now. Not just us. Madness.
Wait, we’re getting an update from our new steam: it turns out his council of knowledgeable advisors have been stuck in a revolving door for several hours, which seems to be a new technology for them.
I think it's actually on Congressional Republicans to stand up to him for the first time and take back their authority. Markets don't trust Trump anymore so backing down now would just stop the bleeding at best. We're probably cooked until power is out of his hands.
Unfortunately, after living with/then escaping from, marriage to a narcistic sociopath, my guess is that tRUMP will double down on what he wants to do & for whatever reason, what tRUMP wants & what Putin wants are intertwined. tRUMP wants to be a despot, Putin wants a weak US, both happy w progress.
No, Trump’s not going to change. It’s up to us to peacefully regain control of our country. Take it to the streets again Hands Off April 19 and #TeslaTakedown every Saturday.
Apparently you missed his “knowledgeable advisors” comments on the Sunday talk shows yesterday. They aren’t going to fix anything. To paraphrase a great movie; “fat drunk and stupid is no way to run a country”.
Oh he'll continue as he never listens to what others tell him is bad. In fact that's why he went bankrupt so many times. His advisors would tell him something was bad, and he would do it anyway.
This has got to be a rhetorical question. He has no knowledgeable advisors. He will not backdown. This has already gone too far. World markets will never be the same again.
We already know the answer to your question. Trump, megalomaniac, sociopath, malignant narcissist, will do whatever he pleases. There’s a reason Trump ordered the protective anti scale fence put back up around the Whitehouse.
The barely-mid group of hacks he had surrounding him in his first presidential go-round, as opposed to the talentless, theocratic jackoffs that Heritage provided for him this time around?
Well considering he listened to Laura Looney on firing several officials from the intelligence agencies, I think it's safe to assume that one he doesn't have any knowledgeable advisors to those who claim such are Trump business school graduates and three this is Trump we're talking about here
Meanwhile Putin propagandist Vladimir Solovyov, a TV host on Russia-1 lauded Trump’s tariff program for “striking a devastating blow against the West”. His program proposed building a monument to Trump in Moscow.

👆🏾👇🏾”El destino de toda la economía global ahora depende de una sola pregunta: ¿escuchará un hombre que ha llevado múltiples negocios a la bancarrota durante décadas el consejo de asesores expertos, o continuará con el rumbo que ha tomado?”
Unfortunately, we have to add, listen to counsel of knowledgeable sycophants who wouldn’t dare tell him the truth or he will throw a ketchup against the wall tantrum.
The real question is "Does he have any counselors who are more knowledgeable and experienced than they are loyal and hoping the trickle down from Elon showers them with money.
Bankrupt the USA, buy assets, grab land, replace government with corporate entities, remove objectors and unprofitable people by any means is the goal https://youtu.be/5RpPTRcz1no?si=_HZDx1JpsKkGUzO0
Hi Osita, thats a stupid question, the #Republican orange #monster will continue his current course of action. #Secret services should sent killers to terminate this #GOP #scum and #MAGA #billionaires
I seriously question the “knowledgeable advisors” part. We’ve seen by now the type of advice proffered that only reflects Project 2025 and any deviation will not be countenanced.
I guess that’s because we have given up asking whether Congress will do anything, like for example, take back the power of tariffs which is assigned to them in the Constitution.
Yes, in the sense that there could be either terrible or even-worse outcomes from this point. But significant damage has now been done that cannot be recovered.
He is only surrounded by sycophants who will nod in agreement even if he proposes to have their whole family murdered. No real advisors unfortunately 👎
I mean, there is the question of whether someone will stop him. Congress theoretically could but it seems like conservatives are totally with him on this.
The only question is how will China - the only global superpower, and largest economy on earth, restructure the global economy to firewall it from the failing US state
I'm pretty sure we already know the answer. Also, they are all billionaires and multi-millionaires. They will BENEFIT from this. They don't care. Just listen to Lutnick. They are all sociopaths and psychopaths.
Republicans in Congress could begin reversing this disaster of a presidency today if they respected their responsibilities under the Constitution—which they swore to uphold. Instead they’ve chosen fealty to this most corrupt and immoral president.
And will all of the boot lickers around him continue to genuflect to him or join us back in reality and stop this. He is not going to listen to experts. We are a nation now beholden to a bunch of Qanon cranks and folks who checked their spines at the door
What if that counsel of knowledgeable advisors are telling him to break the system like in 1929, so the ultra-wealthy can take advantage of those panicking but never put into place the reforms of the 30s which transferred money back down
Trump's "fatal flaw" is an inability to EVER admit to a mistake or being wrong. He held firm on bad decisions which led him into 6 bankruptcies. Like Hoover did, Trump plans to hold firm on tariffs no matter how bad things get.
Knowledgable advisors ??? You mean those who created that congenial list ? Or those who edited it for plausibility ? Or those who discussed it with him ?
The battleship under the rug, is Putin. That Trump is a Russian Asset, is SELF-EVIDENT. HRC, former 1st Lady, NY Senator, and Great Sec of State - knew this when she warned Americans, "Trump is Putin's Puppet." So did Nancy Pelosi when she issued the same warning. Tariffs are EDICTS FROM VLAD!
Who are these knowledgeable advisors ? Certainly nobody in the White House. This is what no guardrails means. This is all Trump and all the yes man in his cabinet. IMPEACH.
Seriously? Have you never seen and heard the stupid things this buffoon has done and said for 40-years? Of course he will continue the destruction of the World economies because he is a small minded stupid little man whose ego will drive him to destruction.
I used to assume he had knowledgeable advisors and maybe they are around, but I don’t think he listens to anyone except that stubborn little voice in his head. he’s a demon.
He’s just following albeit unwittingly Plan 2025, Do not underestimate the power of the billionaires consolidated in the Heritage Foundation and other ultra right wing groups.
They laid the foundation for a decade and just needed a “fool” to front the implementation.
The fate of the entire global economy does not hinge on this question. He never has and never will listen to reason. The real question our global economy’s fate rests on is whether or not those in power will stop enabling these catastrophic, self-serving, ignorant, illegal actions.
Trump only listened when he felt that his lenders were about to foreclose on his properties. He thinks he is immune so the answer unfortunately is no he won’t listen to anyone.
Never listened to advisors. May listen to Oligarchs screaming in pain or voters breaking down his barricades. He e will never run-again, either because will not contest, or will abolish elections, so he feels invulnerable. He is cognitively damaged man, isolated in his own mad bubble of unreality.
Pretty clear he does not have “knowledgeable advisors” - it’s an idiocracy staffed by incompetent clowns, cynical opportunists and soulless sycophants.
He doesn't have "knowledgeable advisors", just crackpots like Laura Loomer and Howard Lutnick. He doesn't listen to advice (after all, that's how he bankrupted casinos).

That wouldn't be a flaw with donald trump,
that would be a flaw with an alleged "global economy".
Trade is a huge factor in any economy, if you start screwing global trade and you’re one of the biggest participants in that trade, it’s incredibly destructive.
He will do what HE wants.
Rest assured
there is
no one
knowledgable in
anything
advising
trump
a) a man with DT’s history can get elected president
b) once a president has put the country in jeopardy there is not a process to get him out of office before the 4 year term is up.

knowledgeable advisors…
🤣😂🤣

Putting a non-MAGA POTUS into office will be like fighting Al Capone: Kill or be killed, fight to the death.
Those who never fought for civil rights can’t understand, or simply they’ve never known ruthlessness, greed and corruption at-scale.
Listen to others …..
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haha haha haha ha haha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha (breath) ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
nope
Did he go to jail, or was he rewarded with something substantial, like a public office?
Also, it won't hurt if TSLA keeps tanking. Kind of hard for Musk to bankroll the Republican party if his wealth is destroyed.

fat chance!
We have put the global economy in the hands of a sociopath with extensive experience manipulating public policy to destroy others for his own profit.
This is completely intentional and 100% on brand.
He is the Terminator. It is what he does. It is ALL he does.
(Yeah, I know, Bessent is a credible person. But months of contact with Trump causes ETTD to even smart brains.)
I think "Will enough people including Faux Noise hosts ridicule him enough to change his mind, and what 'excuse' will he give for doing so?"
Probably "See It worked!"
What if that counsel of knowledgeable advisors are telling him to break the system like in 1929, so the ultra-wealthy can take advantage of those panicking but never put into place the reforms of the 30s which transferred money back down
Is this the final corporatization of america?
And yes he will continue…
It is the Republican Party.
They have had the power to stop this from the beginning.
This is what they want.
They laid the foundation for a decade and just needed a “fool” to front the implementation.
No more data-based methodology,
Now it’s based on Trump’s ideology.
The new way to write Tariff policy,
Is having Big Balls use ChatGPT.
REVERSE THE CURSE
He'll keep going until he's removed.
