Trump: "There could be a little disruption. Look, what I have to do is build a strong country. You can't really watch the stock market. If you look at China, they have a 100 year perspective. We go by quarters. And you can't go by that."

Exactly. After that first hundred million, they feel completely untouchable, and they're just excited about stock market crashes because that means to them they can just buy out all their competitors who fail. The people staffing those businesses? Cogs in the machine, not humans.
Listen to him when he says this. He's talking about long-term dictatorship for the USA. He's talking about so much more than sacking people and stealing retirement funds, hard as those things are on people.
China did make the transition from an agricultural economy with hand labor and low levels of urban industrialization to making people's lives better and better over time. And it kicked out all the foreign devils which gives it cred in Africa and Latin America.
He has absolutely no shame and his followers are willfully ignorant or just plain stupid. This is the exact opposite of what he said in the past. I know, I'm just a libtard getting owned. I shouldn't get upset. But every once in awhile I've got to let it out. 😱😱😱😱
No, it hasn’t ever happened. Until Musk and Starlink got involved, and like magic Trump won all 7 swing states by perfect, small margins just outside the recount triggers, both houses of Congress, AND the popular vote. With THAT guy?
Then how did Kamala Harris lose 5 million votes in Georgia and many pollsters have said there were no way there were all those votes in Las Vegas that were always blue. Musk is capable of changing votes. That's what you need to understand
Here is the foundation, prices go up, consumers eat it and suffer, life goes on with a slower economy, higher inflation and a trajectory towards recession. We’ve seen this Republican foundation and had to recover from it more than once!
Remember this next time the stock market inevitably has a green week and he jumps around Truth Social bragging "Look, see what I did! I made the market great again! Me! It was all me me me! I am GOD!"
It's obvious that the most prosperous countries with the most social cohesion have public health care, free education to university, and decent pensions and longer paid vacations than in the US.
In other words , Trump intends to create a very bad recession and long bear market for stocks, bonds and real estate. Your 401(k) will be a 201k when he finished
Public corporations do report earnings quarterly. And at some point they’re going to realize their capitulation to Trump fascism is costing them. The sooner the better
Give China another century without foreign devils messing with it, and it will not be as dictatorial as it is now. Cuba, per friends' visits, isn't the island prison it was under the Castros (FSLN acquaintance's experience studying there).
The myth of trump being a successful businessman is still being peddled despite the facts. America deserves to find out what happens when you vote for a convicted game show host
Severe cope here by Trump. He’s notoriously fixated on the markets as a barometer of his job performance. Someone (probably Lutnick) fed him this 100 year BS and he’s parroting it verbatim.
In a fair world, he would be dragged out of the Oval Office by the FBI, frog-walked away on live TV, thrown into gitmo, face trial for treason for J6. And all his other crimes. Since his toadies control the FBI now, we have to believe congressional Republicans will wake the f¥ck up. It’s depressing.
welp, maybe xi would be smarter than trump, but not as much as so. Trust me. As a korean, as I've observed xi for several years, he cannot be as smart as that. Remember, smart person never become a dictator, and I believe dictators cannot really differ much in ability.
Coming in 2125: Trump's Golden Age begins! The US may look like a Mad Max film until then, but don't worry, it's just a period of transition. Make America Great Again in 100 years!
Strong country = Orange Dicktater until he croaks. Don't watch the market; cost of eggs doesn't matter anymore; blown-up retirement for everyone but the rich; healthcare, food security, housing guaranteed for no one; fair elections gone; life policed by military. A little disruption?
i had a boss who told us, “that’s what I said yesterday. This is what I’m saying today.”
same with this guy. He can never be wrong.

Oh. So first term the economy was entirely based on the stock market, second term “you can’t look at the stock market.” Only imbeciles can listen to this man contradict himself and not see through the bullshit
They're trying to destroy our country so tech oligarchs can divy it up into little enclaves with their own laws and private security where we are slaves without rights. They're not trying to fix America, they're auctioning it off.
Sitting down with a "journalist" from Fox News, the day after he appointed her to the board of the Kennedy Center, is what some people consider "fair and balanced"? 😆
I suspect that the Chinese vary in terms of what their long term plans are. The richest farmer is a manager of pig farms. He probably thinks in different lengths of time than the guy working on the automated feeders or the guy cleaning the paddocks and pens.
Lol, someone needs to make an ad contrasting this with the million times he’s talked about the stock market, when he thought it made him look good. He would even claim credit for a good stock market under Biden!
People voted him in primarily because they thought he'd be good for the economy. They'll vote Republicans out in the midterms and neuter his term if this trend continues. We just need to ensure elections aren't fatally compromised.
This guy is a 3 card monty fraud. Tacit admissions they don't know what they're doing and fucking things up. Oh, and wank all the way off with the performance-art journalism, Bartiromo.
He is fully a boomer turnip who is just saying lines that adapt to his bullshit 80’s and 90’s fantasy when he though he was hot shot. Donald. You’re a complete fucking idiot.
He is an idiot. I'm looking at the stock market and the fact that my 401K has lost tens of thousands since he took office again. And inflation is rising. And we are on Social Security and that is at risk. The felon just keeps lying and I am sick of it.
Funny how the entire first four years he was in office all we heard was about the stock market and any stock market rise was an indicator of what a great job he was doing, but now the stock market indicates nothing when it comes to the health of the economy because he is tanking it
If Trump doesn’t want the country to go by quarters, why doesn’t he issue an executive order saying that corporate financial reporting will be annual rather than quarterly? He seems to think he can change anything with an executive order, why not this?

For Trump, little disruption means bankrupt the country and the middle class, but so long he, his children, his loyalists, and the oligarchs and billionaires profit from it -using words he often say- and enrich in "ways the world never seem before," right before our eyes, that is OK with him.
In reality, Trump will not be able to govern the disasters in the world that he himself will create. It will take decades to fix things, or perhaps they will never be the same again.
If you can’t get anything done, then screw with how things are reported and create your own narrative. That’s what he is doing. Same thing they want to do with how government funds are calculated.
He just talk nonsense all the time. I really don’t get how folks believe anything he says.
Also, thank you, @atrupar.com. You keep us all aware of what is happening and it’s important work. Not sure how you can track all the lunacy, but you do, and I’m grateful.
Biden's economy was amazing. Better than other nations emerging from the pandemic, but Trump crowed it would be so much better on day 2 with Trump in charge. Media ran with the Trump narrative, let it go unchallenged because of egg prices!
Trump only ever cares about his own finances.
Would a 100 year plan include things like building soft power with food aid, funding universities and education to ensure technical and knowledge superiority, or strategic alliances with countries who have similar goals for political outcomes or is the 100 year plan simply “cut taxes for the rich”?
China does some of the things you're mentioning, with countries as diverse as Switzerland and Nicaragua. They build roads and schools and set up shop all over.
Nonsense, wonder if his dementia is really this bad, has no idea what he is spewing, and maybe his nazi/KLAN party members are seeing the boat has hit the iceberg, it may well be going down by the bow.
Gee, that is strange, I seem to recall him posting when the market declined under Biden. Unfortunately him, it was rare as the market continued to rise under Biden's economy.

TRUMP: "EVERY POSITIVE STOCK QUARTER IS FROM ME. EVERY NEGATIVE QUARTER IS BIDEN."
They just don't care. 🤷
When support for his presidency collapses he’ll blame former allies and the public for not being smart enough to see the genius of his 100 year plan.
Let's flip the house and senate so he can't fulfill his project 2025 agenda
I will never believe it.
Now that you’re breaking it, you don’t want anyone to use it as a metric. Fool. Coward. Dolt.
I can't wait a hundred years... To cash out
The SEC should look into this.
Oh wait....
Instead, let’s look at China🤯
And let’s pretend that I am actually here to help every christian and redneck that has voted for me’.
I do. My perspective is fix it now. A fat lot of us will be dead in less than 50.
Just another Russian plant!
Trump doesn’t even have a plan beyond his next wet fart.
Do y’all see where this is headed?
Shut up about the stock market.
Shut up about the jobs market.
Shut up shut up shut up.
Said the fucking clown who ruined everything.
Oh CEOs of public companies… please be sure to explain this to the board of directors.
same with this guy. He can never be wrong.

Trump: look at china - they have a 100 year plan and hitler had a 1,000 year plan
