Howard Lutnick says there won’t be a recession. His boss on the other hand has a very different tune. Just a little recession pain? Oy.

BARTIROMO: Are you expecting a recession this year?

TRUMP: I hate to predict things like that. There is a period of transition.

Just a little transition - from boom to bust.

Most telling phrase: “It should be great for us.” Depends on who “us” is.

I just find it crazy that the US is allowing a person with obvious dementia and no moral capacity to lead the country. He just gets worse every day. It feels like we just keep empowering a memory care patient. Everyone who has had a relative with dementia recognizes his behavior.

This from the man who said there were “5 Covid cases soon to be 1”. Master of the understatement.

I'm dying for Europe and the rest of the world to choose a different reserve currency and make the full weight of our debt come down on our heads.

I thought it was gonna be so easy……….. Trump said so

The pain is focused. Seniors, the disabled, the poor, and immigrants are on their chopping block. If you're white, have means, and you're not a woman, you'll be fine (is their thinking).

If Social Security is cut, those "whites with means" will be housing their parents soon. They need to wake up.

***bringing even more extreme amounts of wealth to the 1%. Who gives a fuck about a wealth gap right?

Is it just me or does Lutnick strike anyone else as a complete jackass?

mishmatic.bsky.social•21 days ago

He is a nauseating little prick!!

ward-hyphen.bsky.social•21 days ago

He is indeed. Bessent is too. The rest of the Cabinet is far worse than jackasses.

Listening to Howard Lutnick is like listening to a used car salesman. Wait till you see what is really important to him….his 100s of millions of bitcoin. He hasn’t been shy about bragging about his holdings.

They both are liars spreading disinformation

Trump Slump Has Arrived

He’s now sparked a recession.
Next up: A massive depression.
His billionaires love the squalor.
Buy all for pennies on the dollar!

“Period of transition”???? You mean to be annexed by Russia Dick???

jerkwaffle.bsky.social•21 days ago

Pretty wild to see a president brag about how quickly he tanked an economy

There is a housing need in America so use the golf courses to create affordable housing for American workers! Scotland has the right idea. If the rich insist on a war with the middle class it's time the middle class stop paying the rich!

If you ask MS Copilot what successful deals Trump has made, this is what comes out: In summary, Trump's life achievement is the building of the Trumptower in 1983 and his luxury villa. That's it!

bkelsey91.bsky.social•21 days ago

Did anyone explicitly vote for this? Is there a single soul in America that wanted a recession?

sevenseas1970.bsky.social•21 days ago

Not for the rich or billionaires. They will load up on stocks while down and buy our houses when we lose our jobs.

blackcat1970.bsky.social•21 days ago

Lutnick = Trump cultist
Trump = moron on economy

“Transition”?! 🤦🏼‍♂️🤬

Hello Jessica,
I just wanted to commend you on the great work you do with the opposition anchors. Love your integrity and telling the truth.

dardenne.bsky.social•21 days ago

Recession will keep Trump accountable.

Reality can’t come soon enough to this country.

peterlion.bsky.social•20 days ago

Maybe, instead of a billionaire Wall Street CEO and Trump donor as Commerce Secretary, who’s basically parroting Trump’s twisted economic plan, we should put the economy in the hands of a two-job working, middle class mother of three from middle America.
