I found it so interesting that he came out and said he was “very angry” at Putin. That was challenged as staged, and Putin seemed to acknowledge it in the same sheepish way he admits he employs violence and intimidation to maintain control.
Sure, he wants to sink the stock market to force capital into the bond market in order to reduce interest rates and finance the monstrous American public debt at low cost. But it is a very risky maneuver that could lead the US economy to disaster.
He picked this up from some of his followers who wanted to find a reason to not blame him. Everyone knows this crashes his fault. You can 1) fool all of the people some of the time, 2) some of the people all of the time. The people are gonna buy this BS are in that second category.
Erm - that's the biggest load of BS I've heard in a long time.
The money from panic stock sales doesn't go into the Treasury, it goes into private accounts. The last thing investors want is to sit on cash, so it'll soon be reinvested, in less volatile markets ie. non-US. -> Bad for US growth.
What this fails to explain is that in doing this, (1) Americans will suffer tremendously because THEY BEAR THE BURDEN OF THE TARIFFS, (2) projected tarif revenues will never be realized because countries will just stop trading with the US very quickly and(3) trade relationships are over
What a bunch of bull.
For the naive- at least the line about eggs getting cheaper shows that this is not genuine. Anyone can see that without knowing how the economy works.
Wasn’t bird flu per se it was that rather than proactively inoculating flocks producers chose to destroy them, dramatically reducing production of eggs and chicks to keep the supply going. Oh gosh we have no supply but plenty of demand so let’s jack the price.
Someone needs to end this fuckstick before we have nothing left.
Meanwhile, hes cashing out his crap stock options, as we knew he would. His company makes no money and has no products, but its a perfect way to launder money from overseas.
Right now there’s no more likely name for 2028 than Vance. And despite Vance knowing his boss shares many traits with Hitler, he’s likely to preserve similar policies.
My parents survived the great depression and WW2. The majority of Americans since my parents' generation. Have no idea what real sacrifice, struggle and suffering is. We may find out what that is like very soon.
Erg....Can we force feed critical thinking training to the Trump base (or at least teach them how to play chess so they understand dumping all your pieces off the board is not higher level chess?)
WTActual F now? Can someone with a background in economics please explain to me why anyone though crashing the stock market was an excellent idea this week. Fuck sake
Warren Buffett disavowed this post today. He has not made any public comments on the tarriffs. He will not make any statements until the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting in May.
Please don't post obvious disinformation like this. Even if you are trying to educate people. The original creator of the video is an obvious idiot and doesn't know what he is talking about. Are egg prices down in your grocery? - is the easiest tell.
Wait, so he is giving tax cuts to the rich so they support the economy, but he is ok with those 8% of stock owners losing a lot of wealth that they won't put back into the economy? Talk about mixed messaging....Hallmark of Trumpism, flip-flop on messages to support whatever position.
Exactly. This will hurt the poorest, disabled, youngest, elderly the most but also the middle class, many fired for no cause, will also suffer. A very bad situation is brewing.
I said "Oh Jesus, no he's not!" and eye-rolled about five times during that short video haha My eyes hurt from the rolling. That whole "he's a mastermind chess player" angle is just so dumb, the man can barely form a coherent sentence.
You're giving him way too much credit. This guy is a walking (barely) disaster. He is destroying the economy, destroying his constituents, destroying everything he touches. Are we great yet?
"It also forces farmers to sell their products here in the US to bring grocery prices way down." How does that bring prices down? It's a non sequitur!
This sounds like the underpants gnomes are in charge of the economy. Step one: Introduce tariffs. Step 2: ???? Step 3 : Profit!
He has, without specifically referencing the video.
"There are reports currently circulating on social media (including Twitter, Facebook and Tik Tok) regarding comments allegedly made by Warren E. Buffett. All such reports are false."
Maybe the GOP and the conservative voter base should stop supporting Trump, why do they continue? Because GOP policy and culture war non-sense inevitably leads to guys like Trump. You support most Trump policy & American chauvinism; you just wish he wasn't as stupid as he is ego driven.
I can’t wait to see all the U-Pick farm fields at harvest time. They’ll be fields full of Americans picking all those cheap vegetables to take home, saving them money on their grocery bill.
Utterly fucking absurd. There is no multidimensional chess game being played, just billionaires giving themselves a massive tax cut and shifting the burden to American workers. This is what MAGA voted for and they're getting it good and hard. I just wish the rest of us didn't have to feel the pain.
That entire video is a big steaming pile of malarkey. Manufacturing in the US won't bring prices down - even if all components could be US-sourced (big IF), wages & benefit costs might even be higher than the increase from the tariffs themselves.
Trump would never do anything to help the American people get out of debt and lower interest rates. This is all about making his billionaire buds make more billions.
Republicans in congress are literally funding tax cuts for billionaires, right now, as I type this, by gutting Medicaid, Social Security, etc, and lying about it. Anyone who believes this "stealing from the rich" con is living in fantasyland.
You've already been burned. Climb out of the fire!
One thing that really caught me off guard about Vance. During the debate he took credit for #45 making Obamacare stronger. Seems there’s something going on here we’re not quite getting…
Almost, not only the market, but the world economy. That's why he's imposed tariffs. He'll crash the world economy and promise a false peace, and when China, the US, North Korea, Russia, and ISis RA ELohim "monotheistic" who worships those "gods" announce the Peace Agreement, the Great War begins.
The 25th amendment does nothing to solve this problem. If enacted Vance would become president. As unbelievable as it sounds but Vance is even worse than Trump. The only person that has shown even the slightest kick back to Trump is Rubio and he's 4th on the list of succession.
Vance would be better, simoly because the tRump MAGA cultists would wither and die. Vance doesnt have the same support (or fear) from Republicans as tRump.
The closest to having a decent president would be after the house is flipped. The speaker would be #2 on the succession list. But that would mean still having Vance as president until he could be removed
It’s amazing how gleefully they attach their evil to actual good capable smart people by including their names as passive endorsements (Tesla, Buffet). It’s also disgusting how they try to brainwash this way and how they try to hijack the solid reputations of others.
Warren Buffett has publicly denied claims circulating on social media that he endorsed Donald Trump’s sweeping new tariffs, which triggered a global stock market crash and wiped trillions off valuations. - The Economic Times
Doing Putin’s bidding. Evil traitor Trump is a Russian asset. He stole TS/SCI documents, hid them, refused to give them back, showed them to random people. He should be shipped to Guantanamo and tried in a military court.
Another thing. Who cares what Warren Buffet’s opinion is? He is an investor and has good possibilities for him to increase value of portfolios (he probably sold before April 2nd because we all were forewarned). But Buffet is not an economist.
Comments
They don't.
If it actually did, people way smarter than The Orange Master of Disaster would have tried it long ago.
Sorry.
Like watching an angry ape perform brain surgery.

She lasted 7 weeks as PM.
So OUR BAD.
Why isn’t everyone talking about this?

That would take them WAY longer than his LAST term.
62% of American adults are invested in the stock market.
POTUS demonstrates how intertwined his ignorance and vanity have become. He lives in a fantasy world where he is hero and king.
Or, hang with me, OR he is not a super genius that uncovered the secret to infinite wealth and is, in fact screwing everything up.
I can't figure out which it is, but it's definitely one of those two things.
Hank tough guys.

A killing joke

Interest rates will go up barring mass layoffs and bankruptcies. Even then, they can't drop rates that low with inflation.
When farmers can't sell their food the crops just rot and they cut production next season.

All the maga zoomers were children last time so they're about to learn the hard way.
Hope they lose everything🖕🏻
