@amysiskind.bsky.social I would argue that is not because of one man, but all that surround him that cheer him on and all that voted for him are responsible.
Guilty by association. When I was on https://Gab.com, all I could hear was how wonderful things were going to be once that awful Biden was out the Pope Don was back in! When I asked what was wrong that needed so much fixing, all I got was vile insults and threats - never a direct answer.
Well it’s no longer the Biden Economy anymore, Trump now owns it. Although the tariff issues and world economic crisis he has created is an extremely serious problem, let’s not forget all of the other issues effecting our government that he doesn’t want us to focus on. He’s just totally insane.
The orange turd has done incredible damage, but it only happened because those who knew what was going to happen refused to do anything to stop it. Until Americans are willing to fight & die to stop them, things will continue to get worse because they CAN only get worse.
Trump knows EXACTLY what he’s doing: Excerpted from an Alt National Park Service post:
“Trump recently declared a national economic emergency under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA)
By declaring a national emergency, he created one & unlocked access to over 120 statutory powers scattered throughout federal law. Many have nothing to do w trade & everything to do w expanding presidential authority inside the U.S.:
domestic political groups, journalists, or activists, especially if they’re perceived as having foreign ties or influence.
This isn’t just about tariffs. It’s about redefining the boundaries of executive power. Imagine if this economic crisis keeps getting worse, the amount of power he will gain.”
AND:
Put farmers out of business:
“AcreTrader is just one of many companies launched in the past decade that facilitate the sale of farmland, which has increasingly become a staple in investor portfolios. Recently, it was revealed that this includes the investment portfolio of VP JD Vance.”
All Americans who voted for the orange turd share the responsibility. They wanted people to hurt - they just didn’t realize it would be them too. Enjoy your fascism with a side of financial disaster.
No, it's all because of the 77 million maga who voted for him, and the GOP who supported and pushed him to the top. He told us he'd do it. They knew what would happen to the economy when he did it. They supported him anyway. They all own this.
Trump will sell tariff exemptions to build his own wealth and power. Oligarchs get first exemptions. Small business is out of luck. But Trump has a weak position. He has to make deals soon and may take bad deals just to get photo ops.
He is doing it deliberately.Instructions from his handler Putin He really is an agent recruited in 1987 by Putin when had $$ trouble according to 4 former soviet spies and other sources; ever wonder why everything is SO closed, secretive between them, even interpreter's notes destroyed? That's why.
Not incompetent at all. It’s all part of the scheme. Make the stocks drop, the wealthy will go on a buying spree and then they get richer as the stocks climb again.
Not incompetence, intention.
Recession is good for billionaires - they crash the economy then buy up the aftermath, pennies on the dollar.
That's why he now says he doesn't care about the stock market now.
I blame multiple groups. Those who voted for Trump. Those who voted third party. Those who never voted. Congress for approving whatever Trump wanted. There is a lot of blame to go around.
Is the Trump Administration being guided by the most Intelligent America has to offer, or is the Clown Convention in Town for a 4 year run ?
What a mess and not amusing at all.
If Trump causes a world recession, there should be an international arrest warrant issued for him and everyone who enabled him to inflict economic terrorism on massive scale.
It’s not “incompetence” it’s malfeasance. He’s not merely *unable* to do his job correctly, rather he’s intending to do it badly. Trump and Musk are destroying America for oligarchs and for Putin. This isn’t ineptitude- this is violence.
Ok everyone! We see where this is going! We will not survive this! We have got to fight! We r fighting 4 r future & r kids! How far can this go before there is no going back? Trump is an empty fool who hasn’t a clue how we hurt. He only wants to help the rich/himself they must be stopped!
I posit that it’s more self-interest than incompetence. The very rich don’t care about crashing stock markets; that’s just an opportunity for them to buy stuff on the cheap. They’ll be just fine.
They also don’t have a clue how most of us live. And don’t care to educate themselves.
No, not one man. It was a team effort. You could say it started with his abusive father, then the mentorship of Roy Cohn, his KGB handlers, the people who fell for right wing propaganda (the MAGA voters), and the politicians who are afraid of those voters.
I know so many folks that didn’t vote because they wanted to see the system implode. These folks made a HUGE effort to try to convince me not to. And now when they say to me, “I didn’t think it would be this bad”, I can’t help but carry the biggest🖕in my pocket for them.

I'm sure the families of the soldiers who died in Europe understand how important is it for the President to get in 18 holes.
They're all incompetent.

You're assuming he's working FOR the USA. He isn't.

“You bend the knee, I make it stop hurting.”
His goal was to crash the economy.
I wish more media would report that instead of gnashing teeth and crying that "It doesn't make sense!".

Well, lets get to impeaching.
The maga cult.
Members of the House and Senate, at the Federal and State level, who betrayed their oaths.
His inner circle.
His family.
The foreign adversaries who bought him.
The techbro trio, Musk, Bezos, and Zuckerberg.
The police like ICE acting like the rule of law does not apply.
The judges and lawyers from the top on down who allow the rule of law to be subverted.
All are traitors.
What a mess and not amusing at all.
He’d be nowhere without the sychophants.
You would reach more people, when you add a good description into the Alt-text field.
That is pretty easy, especially, when your image just contain text.
This way, you support visually impaired people and everyone else, who rely on a good filled Alt-text.

It's systemic.

Welp, 46 months left to go.
Basically, two mind f****d people, running the world into 💩
