"Is this what 2008 felt like?"
No. 2008 was a crescendo of years of sub-prime mortgages laundered through faked bond ratings and derivatives trading by an army of savy, greedy people hiding what they'd done.
This is one rapist felon who's killing the world in full view of everyone for fun.

I remember seeing ads for balloon loans with interest-only payments, and having a really bad feeling about the near future.
Like AOL offering more free hours than existed in a month - it's just a matter of time.
1. On purpose fast
2. Didnt even win the election
3. No starvation
4. Bailouts were consensual
5. Went theough court of law
Being prepared and ready to act - seems better than not being so at this point in time.

Alienated closest allies.
Depression?
Crippled US trade/started Trade War
Placed idiots & fools to head Gov Agencies.
Gutted Fed Workers.
Deleted any guardrails on his power.
Until it didn't.
He's the one that made sub-prime loans popular
He was placed in charge of which banks got bailouts & how much
(it was banks he was heavily invested in btw)
That man SHOULD have been given the Viserys Targaryen crown treatment
He fixed it though.
This is first-degree premeditated murder. Full-stop.
There are witnesses and we have the murder weapon. Motive is the only debate.
Trump caused this market crash and is proud of this! Ask yourself why. Hopefully, the media will ask this question.
All the details were different.
THEN it was playing monopoly.
NOW it's racism, religion, knowledge elemination, erasing history and making people bankrupt so the rich can buy cheap and get cheap, dumb labour....
Tariffs decrease supply. Stimulus increases demand. Both are inflationary
The solution is more supply, which means removing the tariffs.
No, it does not mean investing in domestic manufacturing. That’s just another kind of stimulus
Why couldn’t they have picked somewhere with money? Like Norway or Switzerland?
His professors are rolling in their graves
There was no reason for this. The market was fine. International trade was fine. The economy had its problems but was improving.
and max profits later when it recovers.
There is no Obama or any adults in this administration sooooo
Depression it is..... sigh
RIP Tanta.

Record numbers of residential loans without appraisals performed by licensed appraisers (appraisal waivers).
Start kissing your home equity goodbye.
They literally declared that the rest of the year doesn't count as time passing for a certain "must be voted on within 15 days" provision of the emergency tariff—excuse me, import taxes on Americans—law.
Measured correction? Trump tantrum and retaliation.
Impeachment? Death threats and primary challenges from Trump supporters.
The GOP is doing this.
Only one side got released. This could be a simple RICO matter if the courts weren’t wrapped up in the crimes
It’s important because if he dies tomorrow there is still a world of blame to go around.
I for one have zero forgiveness available
That's not happening now. Literally everyone knows what's gone wrong, who is to blame, and how to fix it BY TOMORROW MORNING.
This is fucked.

I'm saying the same thing about Wall Street fat cats today. They are dumbasses
It was given up in exchange for a chance to be openly hateful and ignorant on the world stage instead of having to hide it in the home or neighbourhood.
They shall reap as they have sown, but they are taking everyone else down with them by allowing him to keep going.
He could have been stopped already if they just did their jobs.
The people who should have stopped this have not even tried. There are no guardrails, no limits, no checks and balances.
That’s self-government.
It’s nothing more, nothing less.
Tomorrow the GOP will gulp more kool-aid, that’s how we learn who really is an idiot.
Tuesday they can caucus.
This is more like getting hit over the head.
So yes, this is fucked.

Around 2008, there was a sense the real estate bubble couldn’t just keep going
It was just money and property, which is, of course, a lot
But there were no cultural or pseudo-religious beliefs attached
No one gave a shit who was gay or liberal
We blamed banks and/or ppl who fell for bad loans
2025 is a menace who just purposefully dropped 10 tons of bricks on innocent people because he is evil.
This is worse than 2008 because the end isn't coming until Donald Trump decides it's over.
