This was 100% market manipulation on steroids. He and his treasonous billionaire backers just made out like bandits and are trying to pass it off as some genius strategy. Plus, we still have tariffs and what will they do after 90 days? More manipulation??? - ThreadSky

The genius strategy was sell stock high, buy stock at record lows, then probably sell high again and repeat, lol.

If we get a Democratic president, we need an SEC to investigate this past week to see if there was insider trading. If there is, arrest them, including billionaires. If found guilty, imprison them.

We're going to need something along the lines of the Nuremberg trials to handle this whole shit show. We MUST demand accountability this time. No more "moving on". There's a long list of things we're going to need to do - court reform, shoring up the Constitution, cleaning house of all Rs.....

Definitely. The reason for this mess is that there was never accountability for government officials engaged in illegal activities. They are far more dangerous than shoplifters.

It really is always an upward-down problem: Like, minimum wage increases are only "problematic" because the top penalizes the low-income for making more. It's not people who can't afford medical, it's the medical system that charges overinflated prices. Likewise, far worse is the stock market manip.

Republicans always paint it as a lower class issue, when the real damage is from the upper class. They care about self-checkout thieves, but they don't care about stock market manipulation and pump / dumps. They care about not rising the minimum wage, but not about the corporate greed behind it.

This is why I'm afraid Republicans will find some way to cancel/indefinitely postpone/etc, the 2026 midterms.

Even as meek as the Dems are, the GOP has to know that a lot of them will be held accountable. They'll burn the country down before they let that happen.

Their hubris is their downfall. They always overreach. We will have elections. They think we are as stupid as their base, which is an insult to us all. We need to make sure we have good democrat candidates on ever ballot to vote them out! This is their Hail Mary-demographics are not in their favor.

Of course, this all assumes we can hang on for another 18 months.

I’m sure it’s going to happen several times.

Won't be 90.

Sadly, you're probably right! God, I hate him!

It is what he is doing to your vulnerable.
Sicko.

Agree!!

Yup, I'm pretty sure that right after they plow their inept tax breaks through Congress, the tariffs will be back.
Then we'll have a recession AND a debt crisis. When you're working this hard to create a giant depression, you go all the way.

He will have no agenda but chaos
