Trueism: Presidents don't have a lot of impact on the economy.
Fine Print: Because most don't do totally insane things.

This president has smashed the mixing board and recorded over Sgt. Pepper’s with various slurs and farts.

In western democracies, parliaments balance presidential powers and the overall government is held accountable by the people.
TRUMPED
Hoover
We've all heard it: 'he didn't do all that much in the first term, so he won't do all that much in a second!'
Presidents have little effect on the economy. Dictators (and would-be dictators), however....
It is too scripted and fake to be just their seats they might wish they weren't bound to. It can only be bribes taken, blackmailed and now face prison like dozens of his past supporters. Prison keeps in check
There's nothing a president can control that would cause 5% GDP growth
There are *a ton* of things a president can control that would cause -5% GDP growth
Being a Pathological Narcissist isn't insane, it's a predatory personality disorder. Two very different approaches needed to combat
Prezes impotent?
see: the
dick Cheney
Normally I'd be sniffing around for bargain stocks in this environment. But there's a horse in the hospital.

He Bribes to Extort and Blackmail, then they Obstruct for him
It's scripted. This was why we have 4 branches, 4th Media was taking over while he destroyed his own party first. Judicial ever since
This is key!!
Most president's think about the waterfall effects on people before their actions.
not so anymore
Obviously, Biden made good choices. And Obama and Clinton before him made good choices. The economies boomed under them.
Republican Presidents have started the economic downturns and Dems have rescued the economy.
Reagan, Bush senior, Nixon? "the tariff act 1930"?
And that's only about tariffs.
All said it needed to be done or else,..
But in the end the 1% filled their pockets every time!
We never use the criminal legal system of the 3rd branch he took over and pulse checked his ENTIRE first term
Knowing you can NEVER go to prison will create this exact kind of monster
Those tariffs to 180 countries are another proof that this felon47 is a total control freak.
This guy wants to control everything , even your mind americans sheeps.
Beeeeeeeeeeeee

He's been groomed to destroy America from the inside.
People wake up.
Serving as Reality Show boss (POTUS), he has a corrupt team in place delivering on Project 2025's antiquated philosophy & morals.
Wired: Great Idiot theory of history
The masses went from calling him stupid to now insane. Neither of those can be battled to survive as needed for a Pathological Narcissist. We all should study Dr Sam Vaknin. He has a library of instruction that makes their predatory behavior very predictable
We are in denial
1. Do some good to do evil by created chaos
2. Exploit supporters for supporting him
3. Instill fear to be the "Savior"
4. Bear False Witness
5. Reverse the truth
6. Admit no wrongdoing
7. Project/ blame others for results
Market drops 1,400 points, recession is coming, economy tanking.
Why anybody will trust us?
I don't know if we can be saved anymore.
The Tariffs are just the tip of the iceberg of how deep they can/will go.
DJT made agreements with Putin since the late 80's!!!!
Not necessarily from you but I want credit.
The cruelty is the point.
The so called factories that are coming "home" will be automated so much that existing factories will lose 50% of the jobs and mass world boycott will hurt you even more.
My history professor said this to me 20 years ago…
when Bush got elected.
He left out the fine print part.
Trump tanked the economy in his second term due to not knowing how the real world works.
The Presidents actions or inactions WILL affect the economy.
He HAD to crash it to control it and take credit for our own Recovery AGAIN! Intermittent TARIFFS were the only way
the future is so bright
(In 2016 Hillary won the vote but the Electoral College gave it to our current jerk.
In 2020 the 1/6 attack on our Capitol was supposed to trigger Const. 14/3 & restrict him from running again.)
The greatest power a President has is to fuck things up.

1. Surround Self with Billionaires
2. Fire employees
3. Surrender to Putin
4. Abandon Allies
5. $5 Trillion in Tax Cuts for wealthy
6. Increase Debt by $5 Trillion
7. Raise sales taxes $600 Billion annually
8. Cut Social Security
9. Slash Medicaid
10. Punish Disloyalty
This situation is a failure of Republicans everywhere.
Fabulous idea, Mr. President!
They'll never see it coming, Mr. President!
The national debt will be gone in no time, Mr President!
Hell, no THOUSAND humans should be able to cripple the global economy.
The "President" has FAR MORE POWER than the office REQUIRES.
The Founding Fathers' biggest mistake was ASSuming that an all but toothless Honor System was sufficient. 🤬
[==*==]
So fucking it up royally in the first 100 days is one hell of an achievement.
Dictators do.
In realpolitik terms, begs the question to companies- what exactly are you paying lobbyist for?
So now the euphemism is a "meeting?" Bill Clinton got crucified over his "meeting" with Monica Lewinsky.
When we lose, they win. They always win, even when they lose, unless face criminal court charges we proved 100's of times our govt will never hold officials to our mation's "Nation of Laws", or Rule of Law, or any criminal laws.
Breaking the law used to be a pulse check
The free world—not in denial/delusion, as are an abundance of Americans—will continue to protect itself from NAZI/MAGA America.
Just shows how american-centric americans are!
