Hate to tell you this but the whole world has downgraded the USA. Hateful, racist, stupid government and AT LEAST 74 million who think that's just great.

Trump and GOP are to blame
They should be reminded daily that they are retards

109 years ratings down the drain. 237 years on the Constitution trying to dismantle it. Trump’s just pissing on everything.

CNN BREAKING NEWS:
Former president Biden had/has a stutter.

leavetn.bsky.social•15 days ago

He’ll tweet that it started under Biden and he couldn’t stop it. Then he’ll tweet that Moody’s is a fake rating.

Oh my goodness. The US credit rating is downgraded. Poor US folk getting any type of government $ support will have to be cut. The foreign countries and TRump friend rich Treasury Bond Holders will be soooo sad! Oh my, oh my. I’m so very sympathetic. Oh yes…that’s the word - sympathetic. FAFO🤣🇨🇦🍁🇺🇦🌻

Good. Now maybe other Nations will stop giving us help. Hate to say it, but in the end, the only way we are rid of him & his goons is another Great Depression. But hells bells, we might as well be in one now! More & more folks can't afford rent & food, let alone anything else. 😒

And nobody is stoping him.

Moody’s rating downgrade should end Trump Regime!

If Republican politicians are ok with this, they’re complicit with Trump Regime for destroying the US & in the end of his term, the US will be third world country! 😡

Put of failure in office, and he brings the entire country down.

He MAGA'S this is what the felon Trump did for us! Are you all winning and be great yet?

ddjones00.bsky.social•15 days ago

They’ll just blame Biden. Always Biden’s fault 🙄

I thought this happened during the Dick/W reign of terror, too.

billionaireslament.bsky.social•15 days ago

the billionaires are not just willing to increase our national debt for their tax cuts...now they are willing to have the country's credit rating become junk too!

Yet, they ask us to be willing to sacrifice our lives "for our country".

What do they sacrifice?

Please call House Republicans. Tell them they can't support a budget that increases our national debt & our economic instability.

Gotta love trumpinomics. Making Americans poor.

rachelkristine47.bsky.social•15 days ago

Indeed. Just saw an economic guy on youtube mention that the interest rates might be up to 10% at least by the end of the summer. Vegas is a ghost town, tourism on the Oregon coast is way down & more folks going homeless. & they want us to breed?! INSANE! 😑

dizzygirl.bsky.social•15 days ago

If they get their way, we won't have a choice.

noonewins.bsky.social•15 days ago

Let's all celebrate with a $94 million birthday parade and follow it up with millions to play golf. He is about to borrow $5 trillion. Why? The Nazi claimed to have found/saved trillions. So why do we need to borrow $5 trillion? What else is he about to blow up?

deadmeataru.bsky.social•15 days ago

To be fair I haven't been willing to buy bonds even before this. For once nothing to do with the Orange Shitstain. Yield is too low for the interest and time.
