If it’s such a good idea, why didn’t Trump run on tanking the economy?

(CBS News) - Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick defended President Trump's economic policies Tuesday, saying they are "worth it" even if they lead to a recession.

One of the things I despise the most about where our country is at now is that you can spend all day, every day, literally just stating basic facts and the most obvious shit you can possibly imagine and it's as if you are both a PhD and mighty sorcerer and also wrong and also also a lunatic.

The amazing thing to me is that if this was a Dem administration, and a Dem commerce secretary said this, EVERYONE would be losing their fucking minds.

The market would drop 30 percent just on that alone.

Also “worth it” for who?

The plan is to distract everyone with chaos and faux culture war BS so that they can tank the economy… loot the assets….dismantle the FDIC…. Debank us…. then create an international Crypto Economy to hide & launder their money

Ding ding ding! We have a winner.💯

If you haven't read Atlas Shrugged, good for you. But in the end, these self-described titans of industry, who think they are owed for all society has, disappear to their utopian (for them) city-state.

That's what they want. & they all think they're John Galt.🤮

I’ve been posting important stories to the foreign press here on BlueSky and they are very responsive and engaging. Don’t give up … PLEASE follow them and post constantly. The rest of the world is hungry for the truth about the situation here.

They’re giving their base their talking points.

Worth it for who, is the question.

Agree! It’s time we take to the streets. We did it when we were young—Viet Nam, Equal Rights, Civil Rights, Student movements, gay rights. Are you just going to sit and let DJT take our grandchildren’s futures away? 1946 to 1964–get out there!

I read the news today oh boy!

SMH.

He actually did run on tanking the economy… the policies he proposed were clearly going to lead to this.
It’s just that American voters are economically illiterate.

How is it worth if it crushes people?????

He ran on owing "libs" and "woke". Everything else was just noise.

God, this reminds me so much of James Acaster's bit on being served shit.

Dude's just going to keep eating shit because to do otherwise would be to admit he was wrong.

I'm familiar with you from things like I Love the 90s which I watched way back when and I am just tickled to death to have come across you making political takes on bluesky. Here for it 🍿

Rich asshole that just wants to buy more assets during the downturn.
