The Legislative Branch of govt won't. We're under Republican control and they are afraid of felon POTUS and don't want to lose their seats of power. Ironically they've ceded any power to TFG already.
SHOULD is the operative word in your sentence. In a normal time...like prior to 2015, he would already be impeached and awaiting trial in the senate. But republicans have been hijacked so there is no possibility of impeachment. The best we can hope for is his death.
Do you honestly think Trump possesses that level of business acumen that he knows what he’s fucking doing? No, it’s all fucking ego with him. He doesn’t give a shit about the economy. He doesn’t give a shit about the American people whatever he says you can be sure he pulled it out of his ass.
AND the MAGA 1/6/21 defenders are claiming this is their
Felon in chiefs way of “playing chess”.
Employers & Consumers, why are you hiring or doing business with MAGA 1/6/21 defenders, Seditionists, insurrectionists, cop beaters, or normalizers of sexual assault, tax fraud and felonies?
I mean it's that or dementia. You don't have to be psychic to guess what his "liberation" was going to do.
As usually happens in a crash, those in the know or wealthy enough will be able to snap shit up low. It's exactly what his tone deaf crap about people getting rich was about.
Trump is crashing markets
because he is of unsound mind
How can America accept this?
The entire world is suffering because
of this erratic individual.
Why does one person hold so much power?
Bitcoin looks steady in comparison and went up today? I wondered if there was some reason in his teams' eyes. I'm probably taking part in intellectualising an idiot.
As an ordinary American living off my retirement savings, how do I make this stop? Who do I speak to? What exactly is the plan here and how do we get out of it?
those with the capital to sit things out while the world melts down so that they are the only players remaining when the simmering hulk of a country starts to recover as a kleptocracy
Of course, it's less harmful to his ego than to even begin to contemplate his ineptitude... mind you I wouldn't put it past him to deliberately crash the market.
Is this an admission? Would that be treason? Are the police waiting by the 18th green to arrest him? 🤔
He would only tank the stock market to make HIMSELF rich. We all know he's isn't doing it for some bizarre way to help the poor or middle-class. He doesn't have an altruistic cell in that entire Pillsbury Doughboy body of his. We are not fooled.
He's "shorting" the market. Betting on the downside. Once he feels he's tanked it enough, he will cause it to come back, and make more money on the high side. He cares nothing about anyone but himself.
Get everyone you want to know, leveraged 100x long in the futures market and then rescind the tariffs. The SEC will never investigate and the DOJ will turn the other way, proclaiming those in the know “just got lucky”. Yes, this is the New America.
"Trump is playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers" ... Really? Do they make chess sets for fucking idiots? Is that him just moving a queen around the board knocking pieces over and claiming he won? That kind of chess? He's like a diarrhea alchemist. His financial wizardry escapes me.
Because the rich always get richer coming out of a recession. It’s those that don’t have who are hurt the most…and they just don’t care. As a matter of fact, they seem gleeful about the prospect.
When they tell you who they are the first time, believe them … 🧐
When they tell you who they are the millionth time, over and over again, act on your beliefs like the French would … 🔥
The hit to retirement accounts is a big deal. Lots of the Trumpers will claim you can't watch it day to day and it'll return, but they forget there are people who are literally living off that retirement account *today*. So as they withdraw money from it, they're realizing those losses today
Like everybody else, my retirement is in a free fall.
I just have to pull from it to live on. The same thing happened in 2020. We had to make monthly withdrawals as the market crashed. Although the market came back, the value of the funds did not.
trump/gop are purposely crashing the market, they WANT economic collapse. they want impossible prices. they want no disease oversight, no fed. gov protection. they have no intention of governing, they want to rule. they are lawless, white supremacist authoritarians working with putin.
OK well, now I think he ISN'T doing it on purpose, which was what I had been converted into thinking after reading Chris Murphy's thread.
It's a real whiplash being alive in these times.
But one thing we can't forget is the stupidity, the extraordinary stupidity of these people.
Either Republicans are drawing up articles of impeachment or Republicans are signing off on Trump purposely crashing the market. This is on every Republicans head.
He expects countries and businesses to come groveling with hats in hand full of crypto begging for exemptions. They will not. They will hit back. Good luck, America. You need it.
Yes, they will strip people without cash on hand of any gains. Then those with cash or assets to leverage once the fed is forced to reduce rates will invest and make a shit load of imaginary money when they start selectively removing tarriffs.
Of course it is. He's trying to project his intelligence and business acumen to his moronic followers.
He has no fucking idea what he's doing. All of this is driven by his ego and his need to punish anyone/anything that he perceives as critical of himself.
So many are saying he’s doing it on purpose. His tweet today almost begging Powell to lower rates makes me think no one bothered to tell him the impact his war games would have. He’s always wanting to be the best. He can’t be that if the economy crashes.
I think assuming he's doing it on purpose assumes that he has the mental capacity and competence to actually plan something like that. I don't think he can. He just loves to be a TV host and get lots of attention.
I'm not sure any of his staff are that smart, either. It's amateur hour, at best.
Every member of his party standing by, watching us drown. Musk-ox & the tech-nerd-crats from Silicon Valley, convinced them that a new world order was needed, and the destruction of the USA was the solution. Then they’ll rebuild it from a vision formed in psychopaths fantasy.
We're in it now, and it's too late to back out. The con has to run its course or everyone is fucked. We are fucked anyway tho, that's how a con job works
This blithering idiot, Pres Felon, is screwing the American people and all our allies. I have called my Sen. Dave McCormick's office and, of course, had to leave a voicemail. Same with my Rep. Rob Bresnahan--voicemail. Called the White House and was told, "no comments until next Tuesday." PISSED OFF
it ONLY works if Powell drops key rate- substantially in 2025. If Powell doesnt, i suspect the attacks on him ( and that his lack of moves is politically motivated ) to ramp up from everyone in WH. His Economic Advisors completely missed the mark here. Powell shoud NOT cave- let Trump OWN this.
That’s because he probably is, just so he can take all the credit if the market rebounds. I’d say when, but let’s be honest, it won’t any time in the near future, if ever in our lifetimes.
He will never admit a mistake. He is a true narcissist. This time He has no guard rails. The pain has just begun. He will continue to double down over and over again.
its a standoff between Trump and Powell. Trump needs Powell to lower key rate to "refi" debt/deficit. Powell, today, said they are in wait/see mode. Trump took to Truth Social to "Advise" Powell. But lowering key rate will have consequences. So Trump is stuck. His 3d chess move didnt work

(And he's drunk and his pants are gone)
You can see a clear pattern over the last month, but this tariff plan was like the grand finale.
The amount of the tariffs & how they were calculated didn’t mean anything, it was the act of applying the tariffs to cause the collapse.
That was the goal
Is this an admission? Would that be treason? Are the police waiting by the 18th green to arrest him? 🤔
Let’s make sure he owns it.
Which only proves he's a moron.
So the debt caused by maga tax cuts for the rich
Can be financed cheaply
MAGA, post-election: "We must destroy the economy in order to advance fascism!"

That makes my wiped-out 401K so much less consequential.

My biggest wish is for this to be short-lived.
What doesn't is the trust of former security partners, allies, trading partners....
We're the bad guys now.

How long are they going to let Krasnov sabotage us?
Shadow cabinet needs to be in place giving positions of what a Democratic administration would be doing right now
Give the press a readymade counterpoint they can cite and amplify. Dems too diffuse to be effective right now.
It's a real whiplash being alive in these times.
