At some point the rest of the world is going to come right out and say that we will not do any more business with the US until Trump is removed from office
It's already going to happen with this. For every other country, they lost one trading partner. But the US is losing EVERY other trading partner. The losses mount unevenly.
The replacements if I have them in the correct order:- Vance, Johnson, Rubio, Bessent and Hegseth - are not very inspiring, out of the fireman into the fire comes to mind.
This is true but Vance will listen to Musk on tariffs, since he is the real puppet of the rich South African Assholes, and Musk doesn’t like what Donnie is doing
I think it’s Grassley right now, but the President Pro-tempore (a ceremonial role usually given to the senior most member of majority party not already in a leadership role (leader, whip)) is next after Speaker.
Some of you didn't read Project 2025, and it shows. One of the economic goals is to drop the dollar and go strictly GOLD and CRYPTO. Remember when fElon and Trump brought up Fort Knox? Florida is already testing an all gold/silver exchange. Miami wants to be the Crpto Capitol/the Winklevoss twins.
They are going to kill the old people, disabled, and anybody of color

Throughout my life in times of hardship & crisis, I've always asked myself "What's the worst they can do, kill me?" And I've gotten some solace in it, but GODDAMN! I'm too old to have to go through this shit again. 😡
Yeah its like we are making all the bad decisions at once and people both don't want to be are trading part and are abandoning the dollar as the basis for international transactions.
This could get really fucking bad, all the because the nation mad about inflation decided to support the tariff king
One man’s ego shouldn’t hold the global economy hostage. This isn’t strategy—it’s sabotage. From threats to tariffs to market crashes, we’re watching reckless power unravel lives. This isn’t leadership. It’s abuse—economic and ethical.
Empty inside the dome.
Lies swarming out of his mouth.

Evil ruining America.

The US cause this crisis for no reason whatsoever. Of course people are fleeing from bonds. Maybe if Congress could start acting like responsible adults, it would restore some faith in the capacities of the US to behave responsibly.
What does Trump not get about “saving face”? You negotiate with China privately and threaten to go public if unsuccessful. Instead, Trump was back ass-ward and started publicly. This only makes China LESS likely to negotiate.
Yup. Even if the promised immaculate trade deals all materialize today, we’re still headed for collapse. There’s no un-fucking what has been unleashed.
If Trump uses the Insurrection Act, … Political strategist Anat Shenkar-Osorio has defined three strategies for public pressure in these times: refusal, resistance and ridicule.
Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a power grab, a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.
It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.
Ominous, preventable, expected from a Trump administration. Meanwhile, MAGA is still doubling down on support for him thinking that tariffs are going to show the world that we mean business. Tariffs only hurt the consumers, not the companies. MAGA is as stupid as they are fascist.
See what y'all did, Republicans... when you remained silent about theocratic fascism arrived on your watch in the Ralph Reed Christian coalition era. You did all this. Can you admit that?
this is exactly what all the legitimate economists have been saying and the sustained drop in the dollar too...we may be the national of consumers but the global suppliers are not gonna play with the bully....he miscalculated as he has done so many times before!

Bill, as one member of the tribe, to another…don’t be coy. Like now is a time for you and your elite to think long and hard about the meaning of words. I know you are a good man, I’ve enjoyed you and your father’s work.
Now is really the time to pull out the Marx and just say the plain truth.
Which is why the 90 day pause on tariff's ( except 125% on China) BUT, this is still not going to prevent a recession, it will probably stop a depression, wheee let's see how it works out!
Placing my cat on my keyboard around end of the month to pick stocks. My cat will make me thousands, again!
To make it simple, it’s a stock market without value being set by a corporation, its assets and products. Basically betting on a rare collectible hoping that someone will eventually believe it’s worth more than you paid without actual basis.
Anyone with even half a brain? (Which excludes Jamie Dimon and a whole bunch of CEOs in the US, who were apparently so blinded by their greed for more tax and regulation cuts that they were willing to ignore both his tariff fixation and his innate instability and stupidity.)
The fact that the bond yields are going up is indicative of inflation on the horizon. What is worse is the devaluation of the dollar. Confidence in the US has been hurt badly by this unforced error.
We should have been dealing with it January 6 2021. Every damn one of them. And if we get through this, as a citizen, I will be screaming from the rooftops to investigate and hold each traitor accountable.
Yes, we would be better served and Canada has been wanting more hockey teams. Representative government, health care, democratic institutions, education, paved highways, respect for citizens, trained police force. It’s a long list of benefits they provide.
Seems as though the market is being propped up with sticks, and sand bagged, and anything else to keep it viable, while they engaged in the market salvation, they got no resources for the bond world.
Stocks and bonds going down - the GDP shrinking as inflation continues to rise - I'll hand it to Trump it is hard to achieve an economy with no good news, i guess oil prices are coming down as economists forsee recession
"Ominous" is for events to come. "Terrifying" is for events here now. We're way past seeing dark clouds on the horizon. The hurricane is already here. 🌀
There’s around 50 gallons of gas per barrel (along with other byproducts)
- so they could literally be selling gas for $1.25 a gallon and still make a profit.
But they don’t. Because why would they? They’re drunk on profit.
It strikes me that the stock market is just a sick little game for rich people and the rest of us got dragged in because companies said fuck you to pensions.
People who criticize the government being abducted by the government and sent to a forced labor camp with no due process, also very important for the glory of the nation. So glad to see we're following in the footsteps of great anti-communist leaders like Stalin.
It's just intentional asf they are trying to rob the middle class and people got smart and moved their 401k into safe harbors that are mostly bonds so they attacked the bonds as well, at least in bonds there is only so much they can legally steal.
The tax cut for the rich. He wants congress to pass the tax cuts. He thinks that will solve everything: the market will soar, the rich will invest in coal mines and sweat shops and a coast to coast railroad, and all will be restored to the glory of the teapot dome era.
Isn't it time the armed forces stepped in to defend the constitution and the rights it affords us?
Rather than parade for 47, they should be removing him and his enablers from office.
You are not mistaken. But it can get 10x worse, a bond run 🏃 as in cashing in debt, redeeming that never ending 2% which previously only got reinvested into more debt. It will be the end of the 🇺🇸.
I've been asking finance journalists for weeks to DIG into where the money is going. Because it has been shifting somewhere, not stocks, and it hasn't been bonds either.
There ain't enough gold on the planet to offset the amount that's left.
Also, if I were trying to stash money this way, I'd fill warehouses with Nintendo switches, not gold bars. The value of pre-tarriffed goods is higher and real.
And I read that #apple was doing this with iphones.
People don’t trust US. We voted for this shitbag and fucked ourselves and the planet. I didn’t vote for him. Most of us here didn’t, but he’s in the Oval Office and we’re all in the same boat.
At this point, the American people are the only ones who can stop this madness. But like Obama said: it will take sacrifice.
If this continues, WW3 is coming at us like a freight train.
He ruined our economy and financial anchor for the world. Now we can’t sell our debt so cannot run a deficit going forward. Default likely. Then mayhem.
@davetroy.com mentions Putin wanting to tank the US dollar as the world's leading currency and upend western democracies. China is in on it as well. And so is Trump as a Russian asset. And many others (Rs) are compromised. So yes, treason. Imho.
Also, China is one the largest holders of the 10-year treasury. There is a possibility they are offloading their positions en masse right now due to Trump's trade war.
He wanted to force Powell to lower interest rates for h̶i̶s̶ ̶p̶e̶r̶s̶o̶n̶a̶l̶ the country's debt by crashing the market and as you say, fleeing to Treasuries. Except that he has the intelligence of a half-eaten ham sandwich, leading to making everything worse. Went bankrupt running a casino, you say?
He's playing a dangerous game. He wants all the countries that he has placed tariffs on to come kiss the ring and beg. I don't think that's going to happen, they're on to his game and don't want to play anymore. China has just called his bluff.
The US Congress has been broken for 15 years every since the Republicans decided to stop working with Obama. They have consistently shirked their duties and the problems have been building up. Trump has finally popped the cork and the explosion will be epic.
Trump's constantly whining about how the rest of the world is taking advantage of the US when the truth is the rest of the world has been propping the US up. Now he's destroyed that confidence and there will be no bottom.
I don’t have a financial advisor because I’m positive they were Trump Chumps. I said was I needed someone who understood that American will be declining, and investing with that in mind. They were flummoxed by this. One of them even said that property rights will always be protected. Not to worry
An all-out assault of commoners “wealth” and safety net. Advisors lead sheep into safer bond markets, then the institutional players squeeze out a little more lemon for their lemonade

Bitcoin (and Trump crypto) are taking off.

You can thank Russian Asset Krasnov for all of it. He is taking orders from the Kremlin.

is Donald Trump
in the White House …
just pulling levers

He’s like a little kid in a toy store.
How long do we have to wait…
And what will it take…
For us to correct course…
And GET RID of Trump?
We are “burning daylight”

This is the rapist's first post after he accidently exposed his alignment with Putin.
His #MAGAt army and the media are fulfilling his request.
The REAL news is that the rapist has moved the US to align with Putin!
Just sayin'

Also failed selling steaks and booze to Americans.
It was so obvious to anyone not blinded by racism and homophobia.
(Neither do I. But at least I don’t pretend that I do)
-GRIFTERS-
It’s in fact the beginning of a genocide.
Trump-Tariffs-Tax Goal #1:
Bully others to “kiss [Trump’s] ass”
So I looked into what experts were saying - and
pretty much all I’ve seen is that they agree; it’s not good.
- so they could literally be selling gas for $1.25 a gallon and still make a profit.
But they don’t. Because why would they? They’re drunk on profit.
It won't be any good for Americans.

Props for correct use of “than” but points off for excessive use of commas.
And F- for content. WTAF.
He was never a bright man, but now he has dementia.
The major indexes didn’t move much, but Treasuries retreated when they shouldn’t have.
What’s to stop China from dumping 10 year Treasuries?
Rather than parade for 47, they should be removing him and his enablers from office.
That's because people buy US treasuries in a "flight to quality."
Now, stocks and bonds are both tanking, which means people don't trust US treasuries as "the safest" investment.
I suspect real-estate is about to get weird.
Also, if I were trying to stash money this way, I'd fill warehouses with Nintendo switches, not gold bars. The value of pre-tarriffed goods is higher and real.
And I read that #apple was doing this with iphones.
I moved my 401(k) to bonds in Feb, even though I have some reservations about it (it's the only safe option my 401(k) has).
Am I still possibly screwed?
If this continues, WW3 is coming at us like a freight train.
Aaaaaand then America handed over the strongest economy to the biggest conman who has ever lived.
I’m sure he greased the wheels in our voting process yet he should not have come remotely close to winning if we were a mature & healthy nation state.
This again means that the interest goes up, the stock marked go down and US is closing in on devaluation of the dollar and possible bankruptcy.
And non want USD Currency.
So much for "Make America Great Again"
Now the opposite is happening, which means it will be harder to finance our debt.
Trump is the cause of all this. He is doing 100% the opposite of his "mandate."
This could end in catastrophe.
The growing ignorance of our population of voters is depressing when they believe in the lies.
And knowing that China owns so much of our debt is troubling.
They push productivity down and inflation up at the same time.
If only there was some way we could have known.

If I were a foe of the US I’d be just waiting for bond buyers to stop buying T-bills.
Drive down revenue and increase costs for the US. Then, and only then, when Donnie has a sinking ship, maybe decide to negotiate.
Or… you celebrate as the US sinks.
If I dangle you over the edge of a building and then pull you back up, I didn’t save your life. I almost killed you.
And that is what Trump just did to the economy.
