This, and he will also continue to cause as much chaos as possible.
This isn’t just someone robbing a house. They’re destroying the house inside and out while knowing what to take, so that when the authorities finally show up they won’t know where to start and by that point it’ll be too late.
And maga will be on their knees kissing the ring while cupping his balls. It’s just astonishing what he has pulled off. This country has the IQ of a box of rocks. We are the punchline now.
The problem is that when someone shows you who they are - believe it. When our institutions refused to throw him in jail and all those members of congress that engaged in insurrection - coup part 2 was guaranteed - you don’t bring institutionalism to a street fight
I would say… find out what corporations trump is investing his money in via 3rd party companies and it will tell us all we need to know.
They will make billions, we will be broke and struggling, then he will play victim of some Biden/Obama conspiracy.
I’m genuinely concerned that invading Canada is actually a later step in his plan. He won’t stop talking about annexing us, and I think it would be wise to to take him at his word.
That’s the optimal scenario. Slightly less optimal ears: Trump crashes the global economy, resulting in at least one warfront for the US, then uses that as an excuse to cancel elections while Musk and other war profiteers in the money.
*trumps brilliant idea*
Crash economy while taking all the money.
When market is down, invest the stolen money into other countries markets.
Get even more insanely rich.
Dump into American market to make even more.
There’s just one problem. That’s not how the economy works.
If it goes on very long, we could be talking major damage to supply lines, businesses and people. Let alone the confusion in ports and the long run up time to restart supply lines again. Some companies may just never order from US after finding alternative supply lines.
When Biden recovered the economy from Trump’s previous tariffs and mismanagement of the COVID crisis and economy he didn’t get credit for that. People who are loyal to Trump might give him credit as confirmation bias, but I don’t think everyone is going to thank him for later for a partial recovery
Pretty much correct except the crash of the economy will definitely be someone else’s fault. He will blame latent Biden policies or something. Of course, those outside of the cult will know who to truly blame. This lays at the feet of Mr Trump, pure and simple.
DOGE has invaded federal data centers illegally shutting federal employees out, stealing OUR personal data as sure as we've been hacked by cyber terrorists illegally authorized by the executive branch. Firing 2 million will put millions of private sector people out of work. STOP THE STEAL!!!!
DOGE should be stopped. It's up to the officers of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines
Having been appointed an officer ... "I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic". It's time to own up to your oath!
Don't worry, Pakman will keep talking at length about everything BUT the stolen election and stolen government systems. It's become more and more clear in the past 6 months that he's compromised or was always a fraud, like his buddy Farron Cousins.
This!!!!! It is a money grab. Smaller businesses will fold or get bought up. Monopolies will grow even larger. With no competition, prices will skyrocket. Quality will suffer. Health and safety guardrails are already disappearing. We can stop this. Do not support large corporations!
It appears that T, E & Miller are on the “war-path” for their own reasons, yet the result will end up the same. THEY CAN BE STOPPE. Call+write the constituency offices of your representatives on all levels of government and ask them what they are doing and how you can help. We are with you 💪🇨🇦
He knows what tariffs do. He used them as a distraction so dumb fucks like Pakman will talk endlessly about it instead of Musk stealing everyone's personal information, calling the US government his enemy, and stealing the election for Trump.
I don't think he believes that at all. He also promised to eliminate income tax and replace it with stronger sales tax, the tariffs are a component of the latter and disastrous for working class Americans while lining the pockets of the wealthy even more.
Crash the economy & push other countries to better trade partners, yes. US inflation will rocket. Musk will destroy govt's ability to act. National security will be weakened & dysfunctional, targeting dissent rather than threats.
US self-immolating, but Trump will always be the hero of the show.
"The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 raised US import duties with the goal of protecting American farmers and other industries from foreign competition. The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act is now widely blamed for worsening the severity of the Great Depression in the U.S. and around the world."
That's what he calls exceptionalism. And the tarrifs will never end. Just like his original china tarrifs under Biden... this is a tax on you folks, without calling it a tax.
He is looting the treasury to crash the economy. The buyback of a crashed America will be done by OLIGARCHS in total control of every aspect of America. GAZA is a test run for handling an urban populace that is resisting. Drones in NJ were urban intelligence gathering drones for targeting civilians.
That is his modus operandi but it will not work this time. Take it from this Canadian; maybe Americans believe things will be the same after your recovery. But they won't. Your allies will never trust you again.
Although he didn't always follow his own advice, Ronald Reagan articulated it well: "We must be wary of demagogues who seek to initiate a trade war with our allies—undermining our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically displaying the American flag."
What makes you think that US stock will recover? US stock is valuated about 50% of all stocks in the world but US is just 4.2% of the world's population. Damage has been done and imho it will be hard for US to get the trust back.
What he is doing is so much more……Musk a private citizen has been allowed to access almost all government database…..time to join together….a call to actionhttps://www.mobilize.us/indivisible/event/752072/?rname=Robin&share_context=event_details&share_medium=copy_link
Holy cow, I didn't even think of this. This is so spot on. I can totally see him doing this. And he'll sell the downfall as democratic's fault and the uptick as all his. And MAGA will eat it up!!
US big tech is officially a global security threat; these mammoth financial vacuums block responsible home grown alternatives. Starting today boycott X and Facebook (hopefully that’s why you’re here). Then boycott Amazon, Apple and Google to send Trump a message by choosing a local tech start up!
Even if he removes them there's an assumption that otger countries will remove the ones they're placing in retaliation. They may want more favorable terms on the previous trade agreement that was violated. The damage has been done by this idiot.
Sorry I don’t agree. If that is trump’s strategy to make America great again, he has failed already because that strategy will backfire on him big time. By the time he might take away the tariffs it will be too late because by then no one, especially our allies, will ever trust him again.
The world by then will have learned they can do without having anything to do with the U.S. because they would have forged other alliances and trading partners. We will become isolated like other empires of past history have who ended up falling as a result. We will become the late great USA.
Seems like a reading too much 5D chess to what Trump is doing. After all he could have just taken all the credit if he had let the economy keep going as it has. If you cause a crash there's a significant risk people will still blame you even as things are getting much better just like with Biden
I don't think they care. I think they want to crash everything so they can buy up what's left. Stocks, houses, etc. How many homes did they snap up the last crash??
I'd suggest you watch JTs speech again, we don't rely on you so much as we had a good partnership going on until diaper Donnie illegally tore up the agreement he signed with us.
His first term, he kinda tried a little bit to reflect a president. Now he's openly persecuting his personal enemies(not Obama, Biden or Harris since they were good dogs) and looting everything while Rs cheer, Ds cower, and the public is busy with sports and all their other bread and circuses.
I’ve been saying this since the inauguration. Trump is trying to break us. He will strip us of everything we have and give us back a third so we reply, it’s not that bad.
He will invest in shares when they are low and after removing the tariffs they will go up again. He and his friends will be richer than ever, while other people will be poorer than ever.
It’s more than that, David. The crash will be deep, so average Americans have to sell off their life savings in stocks in order to survive. Then the billionaires and oligarchs will swoop in and buy everything at a discount and consolidate America’s wealth even further. Then they’ll allow a recovery.
Abd the collateral damage in other countries? That is just supposed to be forgiven?
Fuck T-Rump & fuck the USA.
I can barely afford to deed my family already & now you all are slapped with greedy tariffs to fund billiobatax cuts. FUCK THE USA
It will still only be the wealthy that will be able to afford anything, but yes, his base will bow down and praise him. Plus he will throw Elon under the bus.
Jep, with the argument that it was still Biden's economy and etc etc I wouldn't be surprised that everyone will have forgotten about the tariffs by then and his supporters will gobble it up, both inside as well as outside of the US.
i think the dark scenario here is that this upcoming crash will weaken a lot of companies that will need cash to survive. this will create a situation ripe for billionaires to buy companies for cheap and then consolidate industries. and who will be able to stop any of this from happening?
They are now describing it in "scientific journals" as the -
"TRUMP MAGA-BRAIN" syndrome. Nothing like it - has ever been seen before - where everything that was once good & right - is now somehow evil & wrong!
There are ways to bet on a market crash with options trading. Traders only make money if the market is open and prices are moving. If they know how they will move ahead of time, that is even better.
Food prices will skyrocket, housing will crash, banks will collapse, market crash ensues, only the super wealthy will benefit….basically a macrocosm of the wealth consolidation that’s been happening with the stock market since the 80’s
For sure. He will claim victory no matter how bads things go. And he will blame the economic crash on Biden and say it has to be done to get America on a better footing internationally. Meanwhile the international choas ddstracts from his domestic agenda.
I don't think it's as simple as that, you don't start a trade war against your two biggest trading partners and have things go back to normal. You don't declare economic war and get to go back to how things were. While the US isolates itself, new partners will be made.
Removing tariffs will not bring prices down. And recovery will not spring back that easy. He already done so much damage that it will take several years to recover. Call in him to resign!
I think there is some long term damage done here. US influence in the world is damaged and more trust worthy alliances might form. People avoiding US produce could become a thing too.
The question is what damage will result; the farmers still have never recovered as China moved soybean exports to Brazil. It will be interesting to see long term damage by targeting Mexico and Canada. I imagine China will devalue the Yuan
I'm gobsmacked at how stupid that is, David. I've had so much more respect for you until now. Trump is the distraction. Musk, Miller, Vought, Proj2025 are the gov't now. There will be no "partial recover". There will be looting and chaos with trump providing the sideshow for idiots in the media.
No. Don't be stupid. Tariffs directed into the ERS are his slush fund. They will not be removed bc they were levied on pretenses. Drugs and migrants could vanish today and the tariffs would remain. This is a bank robbery. They're firing the guards and spraypainting the security cameras right now.
Does he want them to recover, or are they trying to provoke riots so they can claim "emergency powers" asap and start throwing whoever they want in prison?
If and when he removes them, a lot of damage will have already been done. As with the pandemic supply-chain disruptions, it takes many months for a recovery to gain momentum. Average americans will be carrying more credit card debt, lending rates will be high after the inflationary spike. Not good.
He'll take credit for any improvement that he imagines in his own delusional brain. If unemployment increases 20%, he'll say "real unemployment is at an all-time low". If firearm homicides skyrocket in his desperation economy, he will just claim that "America has never been more safe". He lies.
Trump is both the arsonist and the firefighter. Creating problems to later solve them, take credit for the "solution" while raking in billions for himself and his billionaire buddies, advance nothing for the American people
Rust doesn't sleep, and either does this dude. He's available 24/7 to visit despots, dictators, oligarchs, and evil doers. He can't be bribed, conned, or bamboozled. No negotiations are accepted. No time extensions. He's the best reason to enjoy your life every day.
Trump's MAGA means, Make America GUTLESS Again. DumbSTER47 didn't recapture 1950's 'Great' 🇺🇲,🤣. Diaper Donnie47 took 🇺🇲 back to early 1800's, 🇨🇦 & Mexico were kicking Ass-merica! Mexico ruled AZ, TX, NM, CO, UT & South CA/NV and 🇨🇦 (1812) beat U.S. (burned Whitehouse). History repeated in 2025. Tr-Dump
In addition to doing 'targeted' tariffs against Republican States, I think every Country in the World should put all the J-6ers on the Do Not Allow List. That way Diaper Donnie's Vigilant Army can't cause any problems in other Countries. Sorry 🇺🇲, you'll have to keep Crazy MAGgots in your own Borders
Really, Diaper Donald?! You're not smart... don't know North American History? Take 2 minutes to look things up!? Canada kicked U.S. Ass (your case Diapered 🤣) in 1812. Only difference now is that Dummy47 is burning the Whitehouse for us and is beating his own Country to submission. Easy Win for 🇨🇦!
Yes. But also small companies that go under will get either bought by or just replaced by bigger companies so they get a bigger market share and more money. And that will repeat in the next manufactured crash and the next until its only a few corporations sharing the world. Unless we stop them now.
Plan is for prices to not come back down. Trump said it himself. We get prices 20-50% higher eventually. Let it settle in for a while, and then suddenly the tariffs are over, he declares victory and Wall Street profits skyrocket. But it will never trickle down or create the jobs it kills.
I don’t think that’s Trumps game David. After Musk stole the treasury computer payment info it’s looking like a huge impoundment is going to happen as this is what Vought has said the President can do. The tariffs are to raise money to transfer to Crypto and then steal without a trace.
This is the best case scenario. Attacking the closest alleys destroys trust. That trust does not grow back. More likely, this will spiral into recession or depression.
Credit for any future recovery does not matter, voting no longer matters, winning the public opinion does not matter. Trump owns the media - he is immune from prosecution. He has the funding to suppress any candidate or party who opposes him - including assassinations'. This is the new America 😭
Biden had the funding and authority as well, but instead he called him up to "make the transition [to fascism] smoother," turning out to be controlled opposition who sat with a big stupid grin on his face as Trump was inaugurated. Remember when Trump and Obama giggled and played grabass there?
I listened to and watched conspiracy theorists for a couple decades. They always talked about "problem-reaction-solution," basically what you're saying. The irony is, most of those same ones now support this regime. All that Alex Jones warned was going to happen is happening, but he's loving it.
Trump has started a trade war and have you heard how trump wants to take Gaza yes trump wants to build on. Gaza it will. Never ever happen. What the hell does he think he is doing
What trump is now doing he will. Not allow any mail. To come in. To. The USA from China and China has stopped all. Mail. To come from the US in. To China and they will not anything from the US.
So. Now trump is trying to take credit for making deals with Canada and Mexico who already made those deal s with Biden trump is so dumb I say good on Canada and good on. Mexico
Listen David Canada and Mexico made a few deals which they already done with Biden but trump thinks they have just made the deal s they have not they played trump
Listen David after trump. Put a hold on tarrifs on. Canada and Mexico for 30 days he told reporters he made a deal with them well. No he didn't Canada and Mexico has played trump at his own game
You are right David trump was, going to put tariffs on Canada and Mexico and China but then. He put a hold on tarrifs for 30 days he still put tariffs on China who has hit back at US
Also by putting tarrifs on Canada and Mexico and China is going to hurt America more as the prices will never ever go down trump will. Not remove tarrifs according to trump
Hi David I live in the UK by putting tarrifs on Canada and Mexico and China they are going to fight back they will stop. Electricity coming in to America and timber Mexico will. Stop to

There’s just one problem. That’s not how the economy works.
Aren’t we still waiting for manufacturers to remove the “supply chain bottleneck” Covid increases? 😆😂🤣🤣
There will those that lose their life’s savings in the market and that takes many years if not decades to recover.
https://bsky.app/profile/evilmidnightbomber.bsky.social/post/3lh6sw22y4k2a
That’s not progress, and only hurt us in the time it takes to recover and bring it back just to square one. Never mind prosperity and forward.

Officers don't have that clause. Listen to your officer, and hope he/she is OK!

Where the remaining wealth is concentrated.
The oligarchs have how much? A trillion or so?
As the economy sinks although that's devalued, so is everything else leaving them in a prime position to scoop up everything in a fire sale.
Its a heist.
I know he's been trying to sell that narrative, but maybe he does think this?
What are his External Revenue Service people going to tell him when there aren't any foreign tariff sums of money to collect?
US self-immolating, but Trump will always be the hero of the show.

Now your economic legitimacy is determined by your opponent. If they hate you, too bad. They drop when you're fired or retired.

I think their grift will just be endless, unless some Rs in Congress decide their fate depends more on protecting people.
