Trump administration is treating this country like Trump treated his businesses--refuse to pay workers for work done, run things into bankruptcy while enriching one's own self. Scorched earth economic policy....and the Economist nailed it.
(BTW how common is it for a Casino to go bankrupt?)
Trump policies destabilize the economy and security, eroding investor trust, fuel volatility, & weaken the dollar. Reckless moves will cause inflation, soaring debt, labor crises, and global fallout. As uncertainty mounts, the U.S. edges closer to financial and geopolitical turmoil.
Brace for the economic shockwave: tariff wars, mass deportations, government purges, soaring debt, tax cuts for the wealthy, and the EU bypassing the U.S., redirecting trillions elsewhere. As global markets shift, America faces financial isolation and economic instability.
Devasting one two punch for farmers & consumers. Tariffs + Mass deportations. 42% of US farm workers are undocumented, & tariffs on agricultural imports will trigger retaliation, slashing farm exports. Trumps last trade war cost farmers $27B due to retaliatory tariffs. What will EU tariffs do?
I used to have a sub to The Economist. Interesting reading. It’s a business mag, so will usually skew right, but intelligently so, plus I get British humour. 👍
It’s a shame you didn’t watch. It was pretty educational. As an example, I learned the proper procedure and protocol to remove a heckler from the audience.
The BRILLIANCE of Donald Trump. He shocks the world into growing up without an American allowance. It's all designed to move mountains. Europe is now doing what it refused to do up until now. The Arab world is finally developing a Gaza Plan
If only a competent woman had told us nine years ago that he was a Russian puppet who would feed fascism for his own gain.
If I were Hillary Clinton I'd change my name to Cassandra.
THANK YOU! Why are there not massive protests and marches in the streets? Why are you supposed beacons of Democracy not fighting to get yours back? Why the passive acceptance from so many?
They aren't big or particularly impressive. There needs to be tens of thousands in the biggest cities and DC on a reg basis. People seem to think this Trump thing might end well or not hurt too much. I'm not one of them.
We talk a lot about the effect of specific policies, implemented and planned, but the uncertainty brought about by Trump’s temperament and the breakdown of regular order has a bigger effect.
Trump is a failed experiment as a president, businessman, father, criminal, golfer, and human being. Finding anything redeemable in those failures says more about you than Donnie.
Your oppression is their profession
This image represents reckless financial destruction—burning through wealth without a second thought. It’s a clear symbol of wasteful spending, corruption, or economic decisions driven by spectacle rather than sustainability. It’s a blatant display of power with no regard for consequences.
How much warning do the Republicans need? If they don’t get rid of this Putinite, not only will we go after Trump, we’ll go after all Republicans asap.
I'm not in puts or similar bearish position. Haven't got any spare cash. One of those rare, rare opportunities to turn a significant profit, and I'm stony.
Why did @economist.com have to change their economic outlook? What actually changed? Trump SAID he would take actions that anyone with half a brain KNEW would destroy the U.S. economy. He’s merely fulfilling his campaign promises.
Exact image of what he’s doing to the U.S. economy and what he’s trying to do to 🇨🇦 and 🇲🇽 with his tariffs. Sad thing is though, that most Americans don’t see it yet.
World's biggest frauder Donald Trump and Elon Musk are in charge of fraud investigations and eliminations.
Is this the same as bank robbers protecting the bank?
Well, yes, Bob it is. My Lord says, stand back and behold what I'm going to do to them. The Lord hates the heritage foundation.
Trump seemingly has no conception of the interconnections of modern economies and wishes to transform USA into a medieval autarky. The advocates of free trade and deregulation in his voter base should ask themselves: Who does this benefit?
I remember I was going through an airport in Fall 2016 coming home from a vacation and seeing the Economist cover. It had the Statue of Liberty holding a maple leaf instead of a torch. And the cover said, "Liberty Moves North". I have never forgot that cover and it seems to be coming to fruition.
The Economist is actually one of the few publications I kept reading after the election. Its quality of writing has kept pace with the fuckery of what’s going on and its impact. Does anyone else share this notion?
There’s only one publication better in the UK, and that’s the Financial Times. The Economist favours the free trade, deregulation, privatisation side on any issue (it’s not always right), but it remains a straight-talking ally against the Brexit shitwittery. It won’t be cowed by Trump.
Agreed; it's one of the most illuminating things I read, despite the occasional article which gives a shedload of evidence pointing to eg the need for regulation and then says, so clearly we must deregulate.....
GEEZE elect a failed trust fund baby president, and it doesn't work out so well

Half of the USA see's he has our allies against us now, since he is making the USA a threat to them. Our enemies are still against us. Half of the USA is against him. The majority of the planet & half the population of the USA is against the current dictatorship of the USA.
This pendulum they have weighted and swung with their hatred and terror is coming back upon them, and the USA, very soon as a wrecking ball. There's no stopping that energy. They've already lost. It's just the karma of complicity in action now.
The Orange Cancer is distracting from their efforts to horde money before transferring it to cryptocurrency. Then, ANYONE, Putin, Musk, Krasnov, ANYONE with a password can withdraw funds. These people are criminals. Follow the money.

This is much, much deeper and darker than the republicans. I think they're being threatened and a cabal is using the orange idiot as a megaphone. It's too well planned. So sorry for all sane Americans.
Came across this post and thought i would share it:....... According to the AI chatbot called Grok, which was developed by Elon Musk’s company xAI, there is a “75-85% likelihood” that the person who delivered the State of the Union address on Tuesday night is a “Putin-compromised” Russian asset.

“The Atlanta Fed's GDP Now model estimate for annualized growth in the current quarter was a stunning -2.8% on Monday, down from +2.3% last week. A month ago the model showed that growth in the January-March period was tracking close to +4.0%.”
Yeah, how much of a shit business man do you have be to bankrupt casinos...multiple times. Maybe he was playing 4D chess, or maybe he was playing checkers and just eating the pieces. It's a mystery.🤷♀️
And The Plaza, but that was a vanity project to make him seem "classy", Yeah, right. He, like his father, was just a grubby slumlord from fucking Queens.
He has always been looking for "class".
Money doesn't buy it. Even Melania who tries for class. He'll always be a low life bumpkin w/a sketchy family past. He tried when he saw the Queen & turned up for dinner in his ill fitting tux. Or when he walked in front of her. So embarrassing. Always.
I went there once and you could feel the slime just walking into the building. Def old school casino vibes that was designed and hired for on purpose. Gross place
Cool. But how many MAGATs read The Economist? The fact is, we're gonna need MAGA voters who flipped Red in 2024 to see the damage and feel the pain, and this doesn't speak to them.
Please help! I know it’s been said many times that the election was rigged. I came across this video and would like you to please watch and tell us what can be done about it. Thank you for all you do! Exposing this world makes Kamala president!
At what point would someone step in to stop him destroying America 🇺🇸
He and Elon are deliberately destroying everything. We should be watching how quick Starships are deployed and who inspected the Starlink satellites before they were launched. This is frighteningly like James Bond Moonraker 😳
It doesn't feel like it but

This coup in America is so well planned, me thinks (from Ireland) that there's a much darker cabal that uses the orange traitor as a megaphone. just my opinion.
Peter Thiel and Curtis Yarvin. One is the money and the other the brains behind this. They are neo-monarchists (no joke) who want America to desolve into a bunch of rival city states ruled by local warlords.
that's where I thought the meme was going 🤭 "you no longer have to fear immigrants doing it, you just have to fear your own Grandma doing it, because Trump took away her food and money"
You can’t buy in low to sell high if everything is currently high.. in order to grift the American taxpayer all you have to do is trash the markets, let you billionaire friends swoop in and buy up the low priced stock only to hold long enough for them to rebound and sell those same stocks

According to Hegseth that is certainly something we are prepared to do as well.
The shitshow hopefully will simply stay as an economic war. This sucks!

He can end it.
It's Friday. Today would be a good day for Trump to end his war with Canada.
The same goes for his BFF Tyrant Dictator Putin. He can end his war on Ukraine TODAY.
There.
You're welcome.

But Trump in the role of Juana of Arc, seems a good plan.
Actually, I'm just going to laugh.
I wonder if we replaced the dollars with the faces of people he is actively harming would be more impactful.
I don't want him burning up our capital, but his wanton destruction of our social systems and safety nets is about more than money.

She does her part as first lady when her new agreements are signed. She is bought & paid for.
But he left out the part about decades of underfunding education, and stoking the 250+ years of racism.
