The words “give him space” are very interesting. He doesn’t say; we have to give it time. That should be the correct approach. What I think is that Trump is sick and tired and senile and he is at a moment when he “can no longer deal” with the millions of people marching and all the experts asking 1/
WTF?! Did you just do?! It doesn’t have heads or tails. And he’s whining and ordering people to indeed “give him space.” In other words he’s sent everyone hell, because he’s a shitty poopy baby! 2/2
Congressional Republicans must bear full responsibility for all this economic carnage for allowing Trump to claim the bogus emergency powers to strip tariff responsibilities from Congress. China's restriction of rare earth metals will alone devastate the U.S. economy.
It plummeted a fourth(!) of that, from the Bin Laden terrorist attacks, and that sparked a Global War on Terror.
Trump's been 4x worse for the economy than the 9/11 attacks, and he probably have put less work into researching those tariffs than bin Laden spent planning those attacks.
Correction. I've done the math and even though it's not fully played out, Trump Tariffs are closer to TWICE as harmful to US economy than the 9/11 attakcs.
Full list below.
The big difference is when a similar non-POTUS made crisis hits, the government will be in worse position to deal with it.
MAYBE if MAGA freaks out on anything.. How long are they going to keep letting Trump steal their money with his meglomania? When will they reach the point of diminishing returns?🤔
Honestly, the biggest thing destroyed by this administration was not stock market value. it was the trust that empowered previous presidents like Reagan to simply ask allies to raise the value of their currencies in order to support the dollar. That trust was worth more than trillions. It's gone now
So wait until thousands of factories are built and people in the world want to buy from the USA, wait till the economy crashes so hard people want factory jobs, wait for when kids have to work at 14yrs old, is that when he envisions the economy turning around 👀
Defense is equal to complicity. They don’t have the foresight to see what the history books will say about them. We can’t let their actions be forgotten.
F that. We want this to stop before we lose all our savings. You may have enough $$ to wait. Many of us do not. Do your JOB!!! You are here for us not Trump.
COVID dropped the markets some $13 TRILLION, (adjusted for inflation), Trump's tariff mess is close to blow past that figure, and it hasn't even been a week. No knowing when this damage will have been repaired again (if ever).
The only space he deserves is a room in either prison, or a mental institution! Either, or even both, on alternate months, seem appropriate. All his supporters, like Johnson & all the other excusers, explainers & reality deniers, go straight to jail!
If this was bin Laden there would be 80 years of Global War on Terror, following this, since 9/11 hurt the markets 1/4 less than Trump's "tariff terrorism".
I need a picture of a person drowning and Mike Johnson and the Republicans watching from a boat saying just give him space. I guess we are the guy drowning.
If you laid 10 trillion U. S. one-dollar bills end to end, it would stretch approximately 96,906,656 miles, which is farther than the distance to the sun, or nearly four times around the Earth.
"Strategy?" He's not playing 4-dimensional chess, he's playing 52-pickup. His only plan is to try to make himself richer at the expense of the entire world.
Republifrauds will always say, "Just give it a week, the president just got in". They'll say this no matter what the week is, even if it is a year into the administration. They'll probably say it 3 years in too
We gave him space in 2018 and 2019, and the markets did the same thing they’re doing now. A lot more slowly, but it was a steady decline for 18 months before Covid hit. Starting in 2018 with his stupid tariffs.
I’ve seen this movie before, Mike Johnson! It doesn’t end well.
What's money anyway? We'll all be able to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps and work in the factories alongside our children making iPhones if we just give him the time he needs
Republicans in Congress are spineless cowards. If a handful stood up to Trump this madness could be stopped. But they won’t because they are disgusting sycophants to a demented narcissist. Cowards!!
Here in NC the right wing courts just ruled that the dude who LOST the judicial election (along with losing 2 recounts) can disenfranchise 60,000 LEGAL VOTERS so he can be declared the winner. This is just one more step in the fascist strategy.
His strategy to bankrupt the country IS playing out. Exactly the way he wanted it to. He just needs more time to land the final blow
and destroy everything.
What space, the orange dufuss openly said "grab them by p" he doesn't respect space, borders, boundaries, anything... he doesn't get anything from us other than our open feedback.
He needs to take responsibility for some of the madness. Congress could put a halt to all of this BS in a minute, by fulfilling their Constitutional duties instead of turning their heads and letting it continue.These are OUR employees,if they are not performing their job,they should be FIRED (VOTE)!
Also when Americans hated that other nations have opinion on US Presidential elections and argued, it is internal concern…. well, it somehow concerns the whole world when there is World Trade War in just 100 days from Trump inauguration.
Mike Johnson is Mitch McConnell’s repugnant successor, carrying forward a legacy of undermining democracy and fueling oligarchy, autocracy, and reactionary rule - and having their heads stuck up Trump's ass.
$10 trillion... eh... what's a few trillion here and there when children are starving and dying? When people are living on the streets, who cares about trillions of dollars? It's only money.
Johnson is a #ChristianNationalist wackjob that's in bed with the #HeritageFoundation so he WANTS to completely tear down our country & constitution, then let Trump declare martial law and run his dictatorship through the military.
Keep your eyes on who makes $ during this time. I hope to God they can catch this ahole for insider trading, extortion, bribery… something is going on behind the scenes and someone is making $. He wouldn’t do it if that weren’t the case.
I have said that all along. People everywhere are tired of him! They are tired of the constant chaos and anxiety he causes. The world is tired of him. He needs to go!
Oh i’ll give him space. I’ll give him so much space that there’s no possible way that I ever could have seen what happened when he inevitably gets snipped at again.
These stupid assholes lost so much money for so many people, I admire their courage as they just walk around, not ducking every time they hear a loud noise.
I'd be in hiding.
Any with the layoff of 20,000 IRS employees, it is going to get worse. You can bet that the IRS will not be using their limited resources to go after & audit the rich & the corporations, nope, they will be going for low fruit.
It's just fabulous that one of the branches who actually should be legislating this wants to continue to let the economy free fall because Trump thinks he's a CEO of a privately held company. Is there a better descriptor than Morons?
Which is wild considering the tariff tax on working people would only net $6 trillion a year which they would then give to tax cuts for the rich billionaire class anyway
The odds he is able to remain upright and coherent at the same time could be in our favor. Sadly Vance is a bigger problem with the backing that put him in place.
“Grindr Johnson” doesn’t have a bank account, and lives in a sketchy pastor’s house for “free”. His idea of the U.S. budget is a continuing resolution. MJ is the LAST person who should be making monetary decisions for anyone, including himself.
The majority of America is white collar, blue collar, & minimum wage workers….
We out number the greedy rich!... We need to vote Bernie Sanders and others like him, so we can get our lives in financial stability. Living wages, affordable healthcare, money for a vacation, our kids education, A HOME!
I say give him outer space. If he wants to f*ck up Mars' economy, he should go for it! The people he is sending out to defend his psychotic decision making don't know what they are saying because Trump doesn't know what he's doing. This is a man who bankrupted casinos. We elected a psychotic moron!
Tell me again why we should give DJ Trump any kind of space or any kind of accolades for what he’s doing he’s destroying our country. Here’s a man that didn’t even want to be around the veterans. He blew them off to go golfing. Our country is in turmoil and he’s down there golfing. He’s a fucking
Piece of shit. He talks about all he does for the military. He’s a fucking waste. He’s a coward. He wouldn’t even serve his country when he was called upon to do it and now he runs away from being anywhere near the military in the veterans because he doesn’t believe in what they do And too coward
To serve. He had bone spurs in his foot or feet. He got fucking bone spurs in his fucking head where his brain supposed to be. He’s got yellow big and wide running up his back. He’s a fucking traitor. He’s a communist pig and I wanna be dictator. I got news for you motherfucker, it’s not gonnahappen
And don't forget during the campaign he did the photo op in Arlington. Veterans and Military only matter to him when it suits his cause or makes a good photo op. I don't understand how any of my brothers in arms ever voted for this loser who's father bought his way out of service!

1932: Economy tanks
Voters: "Time for a New Deal."
Democrats: "Thanks, Smoot and Hawley, for the assist!"
Oh.

Rudderless. 😡

...Then we suspend him.
What happens if we do not have a stock market?
I just really hate Keebler Moses and frumpy.

How come? Could it be 💰💰💰and stocks?
Certainly not the price of eggs…
I’m more concerned about the “deportations” / disappearances…

How much more space, Speaker Johnson?
#NoToTrumpTariffs
10 trillion one dollar bills would fill approximately 4 million standard briefcases, each holding around 2,500 one dollar bills.
That’s a lot of briefcases!
These guys are not going over anywhere fast.
Next time, people have to pay attention to what’s going on in your politics - don’t leave it to somebody else to decide for you
SOMEBODY! PLEASE!!
I’ve seen this movie before, Mike Johnson! It doesn’t end well.
and destroy everything.

If not for the church people
with their anti abortion & anti gay, etc.,
in support of their dead-letter-literal-interpretation of the Bible,
to reassure themselves of their blind-faith,
with which to force upon all America,
there would never have been
a president David Koresh Trump.

I hear we have some available at GTMO.
I sold the last of my stocks today at a big loss. Is this the winning he promised?
“No confidence!”
If Europe goes into recession, the 'help' for Ukraine will dry up, b/c they need to take care of their own people.
The US put a psychopath in charge and the WORLD is facing the consequences.
