So he and his cronies can buy low, undo the tariffs, and sell high.

His plan hinged on the Feds lowering interest rates.

They told him today: "No."

There is only one response to this and that is to pull all your money out immediately. Hard earned money over lifetimes has been put in the American markets, only to have their President deliberately crash and burn it all?

It's theft. So chosen ones can buy it all up.

America just died.
reply
This could be as simple as the fact he is doubling down on being wrong. It’s probably not 3D chess, since Chat GPT wrote the tariffs.

You don't need to be an activist to join the resistance.

All roles, both active & non-active are vital to keeping the resistance networks safe & effective

Support can look like...

Logistics
Ancillary
Reconnaissance
Tech support
Boots-on-ground
Leadership

There's no dotted line to sign..

He wants the Fed to drop interest rates.

Anyone shocked? Anyone?

Not only will the rich walk away unscathed, they get to take advantage of the desperation that follows to increase their influence. Buy buy buy.

It's what happens when society allows the unreasonable hoarding of financial power.

Billionaires should not be a thing.

FDT!!! A chacun son boche!!!!

well yeah, he said he was going to do it before he did it

but I wouldn't ascribe altruistic motives, he want to replicate the pre-oligarch chaos of post collapse soviet union, because he want to be amerikkka's putin

the felon’s 1% oligarchs….crash the stock market…buy up stock at bargain basement prices….then do/say something that causes the market to rise….rich get richer…and we the 99% get fleeced.

The video was produced by a guy who clearly has no better understanding of economics than Trump.

Now is not the time to sell. Hold on for the ride.

Of course he did. It's diabolical.🤬

Putin ordered him to destroy the American economy!
reply
He hates us all. He couldn’t care less what happens to average Americans.
reply
Right. Because he ran on purposely crashing the market. It kind of like when a dorky teenager slips and falls on his ass then gets up, laughs and says “ meant to do that !” Kinda like that except that millions of other people get hurt with Trumps BS.
reply
It the market crashes the super rich will be able to buy up all the losses of the moderately rich on down.

More like 52 pickup

Seems the 25th would apply.
reply
Thank you! This is what I've been saying & many people insist on seeing all actions through their own motives. He's not like us! Crash, buy low, make it rise & sell high, or gain controlling interests. Let people sink & buy their assets. They're addicted to power & $. Zero empathy or conscience.
reply
Actually Trump is playing tiddlywinks...with his butt cheeks. Because NOBODY wants yo play with him.
reply
Trumps’s manipulation of the democratic system and the dismantling of our democratic institutions is EXACTLY what Hitler did in his rise to power and dictatorship.

Economic instability and hardship contributed to the Nazi’s rise to power.

Trump will purposely tank Biden’s Great economy. 🤑💰🤑💰

Ugh my head/heart are aching. Friends, of course we’ve the option to wish this away. I talk myself into thinking oh, im just swept away in our collective hate for this administration…they’ll shoot themselves in the foot come midterms…they’ll flame out. But it’s not going away. 4/5 and beyond. S’ko!

I find it hard to believe any trump supporter owns a chess board.

It’s decorative like their Bible and pocket Constitution.

Of course it was deliberate, who exactly is going to stop him.
reply
Any person that can read, could have predicted this. Back in August , I told a “friend” she was crazy to vote for him due to Project 2025. She told me it was propaganda. She is no longer a friend, I am embarrassed to have befriended an illiterate follower of a bankrupty and rape specialist

But you tried to have a conversation with her which is important!

Trump should resign and if he does not he should be impeached for destroying our economy on purpose!
reply
It takes the House to impeach and the Senate to convict. Those cowering, sniffing idiots won’t do either. They have ceded all power to the Billionaires.
reply
They might change since they will be losing the one thing they do care about and it is money.
reply
Oh, of course, it's on purpose. It couldn't be a blunder or anything. Could it be there are certain other countries who LOVE this? Who might they be?

Well that's alright then.

If this is true it’ll be interesting to see whether global investors move their money and what they’ll charge to lend the US money

All those pro-Trump tech and finance bros need to get on a plane, ambush him at the golf course, and get control of the monster that they helped create. Take control! Don’t go to Mar-a-Lago or Doral to grovel and be extorted.
reply
Well of course. All his billionaire friends buy tons of stock then he rolls tariffs back and they profit on the return to normal. Its all a big scheme with no regard for average Americans and retirees.

And they, in turn, donate back a %age to any Trumpian grift/fund.

He’d blame a fart on his kid or wife. Pathetic
reply
It wouldn’t surprise me at all if he and his friends shorted the S&P 500 index a few days ago.
reply
Oh, most definitely, just like they did at the start of covid.
reply
Actually I'm pretty sure the drop is directly *because* of them all selling off their shares, if I am correctly understanding how stock values work?
reply
Trump and close friends are a small part of the market, so their sales wouldn't be driving the price. The price declines are due to people adjusting expectations for economic growth, inflation, and other variables -- and yes, a lot of selling.
reply
But what did you expect? Just checking the headlines on the way from the 4th to the 5th hole, he sees a photo of himself with a golden $ sign above and a second photo of himself signing an EO - why bother reading the text? He's 78 and his attention span is adapted to the few remaining years ...
reply
You know he is! His billionaire buddies can sell stock at a high rate and what the market crashes they can buy it all back at bargain basement price! Corruption at its finest and GOP wouldn’t do diddly shit about it!

Maybe it's true. He does want to crash the stock market so things will get so bad people will come crawling to him begging for relief, which he'll grant selectively. He'll then own all of them and the world.

I mean, it IS true. He IS doing this on purpose. Always trying to placate his base, keeping them from learning and understanding reality.

He owes broligarchs & oligarchs millions. Ex: The wall was designed to repay Roman Abramovich of Evraz Steel who loaned him millions for his first campaign but Congress denied the specs. He owes powerful & icy guys serious cash he's repaying via creating opportunity for wealth increases this way.
reply
He's incapable of caring about effects on anyone but Self. Grandiosity, expecting adoration for little effort. The effort comes in when he's criticized, then megalomania & actual adrenaline from insults give him energy to get even always in ways that profit him & wealthy assets, men who'll loan $$$.
reply
Evraz was the only entity capable of making steel.panels that size, but it was far more costly. We thwarted him his first term & district courts are now. We heavily mocked, trashed a narcissist who is now in vengeful payback mode. It's typical, all narcs are sociopathic, no compassion or conscience.
reply
Except this doesn't hurt him or billionaires. This is how they build wealth. Crash, buy low, make it rise & sell high, or gain controlling interests. Let people sink & buy their assets. They're addicted to power & $. Zero empathy or conscience, not patriotic team players. Greedy pillagers. "Mine!"
reply
Yep, figured that was his plan. He needs to go!

Of course he is, it’s Declaration of an Emergency time, y’all…that’s where Project 2025 can do its most damage. #Thanks #RedHats
