Trump believes in Tariffs the same way Paul believed in Christ. Elon thinks he will be the god king of an invincible robot army and AI has rendered the selectorate obsolete. Vance tortures animals for fun.

So what's the best theory on the deliberate market crashing.

Trying to radicalise a fascist base?
Trying to isolate the economy for increased nationalism?
Insider training grift of some kind, shorting the us economy?

This made me laugh but it’s just so sadly true.

sanfelko.bsky.social•63 days ago

I'll take the insider trading grift, plus private "pay to play" arrangements that benefit Trump personally. He is a whore at heart.

I don't care what it is. I just say no, no, no.

The last time a cretin of this magnitude was elected, unemployment in the USA hit 25%. Congrats to the Orange voting morons.

They all need to be forced to eat human excrement. It is written.

shafawn.bsky.social•63 days ago

Too good for them I’m afraid. After all, with tariffs the cost of excrement is going up 25% or more.

1philo.bsky.social•63 days ago

This is true.

Insane Trump’s mob boss shakedown instincts.

My money is on 3: shortening the US. Viz Russia 1990s

I wonder if Wharton had a bunch of mercantilists back when Trump was there.

melora72.bsky.social•63 days ago

His professor says Trump was by far the dumbest student he ever had.

ravenwings.bsky.social•63 days ago

that and the corporate exec class has felt for at least a decade or two the best times are behind them and they'll have to let the world collapse so they can rule local cities and regions as god kings above consequences. Entirely stupid, but they've been banking on it. At least, the pinkertons have.

I guess lots of “Caleefornees” will soon become Okies.

resistence47.bsky.social•63 days ago

Trumps speech today shows he has never read a book, let alone a history book or a ecomonics phamplet in his life! I guess he thinks his listeners have never read a book either. Some one give him a quarter so he can buy a clue. After all his failed and bankrupted business, all he can do is grift

The tariffs are needed to keep up with China’s cheap goods or we won’t be able to even justify companies bringing manufacturing back because the profit margins will not be reasonable enough to fund building in America.

tamjf53.bsky.social•63 days ago

Yep. They want to buy up worthwhile stocks at low prices, then eliminate the tariffs, & benefit from resulting stock market gains.

Plus: They want we peons to be so broke, we have to loan money at high interest rates

I can think of multiple reasons. All boil down to destroying Americans.

tamjf53.bsky.social•63 days ago

It’s a repeat of how the rich benefitted from the Great Depression.

tcameron4695.bsky.social•63 days ago

What he doesn’t get is the fact that 20 years ago or 30 years ago it was costing the United States too much money to pay the workers to do the manufacturing work so these greedy companies sold out to Canada Mexico, India to do our manufacturing.

denisesd.bsky.social•63 days ago

Not correct. Canada has unions and fair wages. Our economy was and is fine. We have always worked with the USA, never is history against. Mexico workers will work cheaper. But not Canadians.

tcameron4695.bsky.social•62 days ago

I was talking about the US not Canada

ademainalors.bsky.social•63 days ago

I think he's a grifter trying to buy the whole S&P, shake down with tariffs. buy on the low, eventually become the king of the American stock market

Don’t forget what vance does to couches

nomorex61.bsky.social•63 days ago

I said it before the election, Trump breaking America beyond repair because thats what Putin wants.

mrspebbleton.bsky.social•63 days ago

Someone on another thread posted that this hyper-nationalism strategy only works if we're at war, and I cannot rule out the possibility of Trump + Putin plotting a US-Russia war to benefit themselves personally.

denisesd.bsky.social•63 days ago

That is exactly it! As a Canadian, I think we have been their sidetrack because they want our land and resources. Hopefully we have enough allies.

nomorex61.bsky.social•63 days ago

As scary as it sounds, I absolutely believe Trump would start a war to save his own skin. A bit like Netanyahu

mrspebbleton.bsky.social•63 days ago

Harder to impeach a wartime president.

newcoke1985.bsky.social•63 days ago

t's a JimJonesMoment in the USA as a rambling POTUS leads us into a TRADEWAR, something not seen since B4 WW2. Trump is hoping manufacturing comes back 2 the US. This will take YEARS if it is even possible. DON'T COUNT ON IT. MAGA voted 4this MADNESS b/c of PRICES! Now all of us will pay the price.

balingit6.bsky.social•63 days ago

One giant grift. Exploiting the system and shorting the economy.

ritchieplacemedia.bsky.social•63 days ago

And what’s worse? This country’s poorest citizens - the farmers - are now living ration to ration, as the System robs them blind in search of chips to cash in…

thegeoffskinner.bsky.social•62 days ago

I hate to disagree with you, but Vance is the one who fucks couches.

emubroz.bsky.social•63 days ago

All possible, it’s all about greed and power, making people poorer is good for billionaires who want slave labour and bigger profits, having massive wealth, billionaires can buy up whole companies at bargain prices and become even richer, crashing the economy is a billionaire business plan !

emubroz.bsky.social•63 days ago

But another problem they don’t think of though is their customer base will shrink if we get poorer and poorer, we won’t be able to invest or buy any luxuries only essentials, so unless they own your debt, (they own your home, your car, your credit ) only rich people will be buying from them.

dems4al.bsky.social•63 days ago

Shorting.

shazamablama.bsky.social•63 days ago

mhplives.bsky.social•63 days ago

These are all solid points, and you make more sense than the head of the National Institute of Health.

jvspeculator.bsky.social•63 days ago

All of the above. But you forgot one. . . Trump is a moron. . .

ladygoodpants.bsky.social•63 days ago

The money from tariffs goes directly to the Trump regime.

voteblue1234.bsky.social•63 days ago

Insider trading and he actually believes it's going to work.

melora72.bsky.social•63 days ago

Trump has his hats, ties, steel, and Bibles made on China. What a hypocrite!

melora72.bsky.social•63 days ago

What is that about Vance torturing animals? With Noem shooting a puppy and Kennedy putting live baby animals in a blender, it seems like a desired characteristic.

Definitely a slobbery wet kiss 💋 to Putin.

mrspebbleton.bsky.social•63 days ago

If history provides a lesson, Smoot-Hawley tariffs led to the depression, and WW2 (in the opinion of many) ended the depression. Zero cuts at Pentagon despite well-documented fraud + waste. Trump has been longing to be a wartime president; he would enjoy the bloodshed.
