Speaking from 35 years of experience in Capital Markets, Trump is 100% to blame for this economic downturn, and this #Trumpcession

He caused it. Intentionally. It also helped that he doesn't understand Finance, Economics, or how to negotiate at all.

Or if a dem hired a foreign friend and gave him access to all our social security records, or if he sold cars on the White House lawn to prevent his rich friends from losing their money, or, etc, etc, etc. Except it simply wouldn’t happen.

Yep. Wield the sword against imagined enemies while the country sinks like an anvil in a lake.

wcpetree.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yep, a Death Cult. That's what their obsession with Israel is about. Apocalyptic Ideation.

Their desire to ruin everyone’s retirement investments and destroy social security is heartbreaking. Along with saying we all should get measles and other diseases. They really do want people to suffer and die.

Before Annleftwapo, back in the first Trump regime, the MAGAs would flood the comments section with praise of the stock market under Trump. Where are they now? Are they still there?

Down a few hundred grand in the 401k and up almost as much in tsla shorts.

Down almost 10% off its high in December of last year

Accurate. Nihilism in real time.

friendpanda.bsky.social•7 days ago

And and and and as our 401(k) valuation is going down the toilet our Social Security is being raided.

And they wonder why we protest.

dinomom77.bsky.social•3 days ago

Did they move their money ahead of time before the decline? Or are they making money from this somehow?

b-smitty.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yep. And after 50 years of transitioning people’s retirement from pensions to market based accounts, even more so!

astefansky.bsky.social•7 days ago

It feels malevolent; but it’s just ideological fixation.

The press is treating the GOP as if they have no agency. Are they on to something though?

The GOP is operating on brain-dead policy to the point where they’re cheering while actively tanking the markets.

nervestapler.bsky.social•7 days ago

There literally were calls for impeachment when a dem did this.

Guess who made the call?

Are we surprised that Trump has enlisted billionaires for cabinet positions. No, billionaires get there by being selfish and the have zero idea how middle class and low income people live. They are there to line Trump's and their own pockets.

A 3rd party is the only way to fix this.

i don’t even want to look at my IRA

Why will it get worse? Because it’s what they do. Everything they do is destabilizing and destructive. They’ve collapsed most of the systems that provide stability and are busy sawing through the others. A recession will be the least of our problems in 6 months.

6 months of gains wiped out in weeks. I was always told that if their money was a risk the rich would take action.

Well?

alexwinter.com•7 days ago

This is a Plutocrat takeover. They don't care about the little people suffering. They're all fine.

kellycon.tech•7 days ago

I wish that wasn't the truth.

The rich will gladly float loans for each other, while foreclosing on their employees.

they want us suffering so we are easier to convince to voluntarily walk into the meat grinder

memesbedreams.bsky.social•7 days ago

You're such an amazing role model and leader.

broadwayjoefyvm.bsky.social•7 days ago

Realistically, they've been a death cult ever since Gingrich and DeLay took over Congress after Clinton was elected, and chose not to negotiate with anyone over anything, and said "do things our way or else".

Time for the military to step in and remove them all.

generalmonkey.bsky.social•7 days ago

The top 10% own 90% of that, so it's really not directly a big deal to most people. The real impact is that the workers who make the things we need will lose the permission to be productive. We'll still have all the same potential, it's just the owners will withdraw their endorsement of the effort.

gwynnravenfire.bsky.social•6 days ago

Having been raised by Christian nationalist I've been well Aware that the GOP is a death cult since the 90s. That's why they are so invested in Israel. They believe Jesus will come back when all the Palestinians are dead.

andyjabbour.bsky.social•7 days ago

Alex, any fav protest posters? Specifically for veterans attending one this weekend? ‘Asking for a friend’ (and his 81 year old mom).

luigivercotti.bsky.social•7 days ago

Been that way for decades.
