Wall Street turns anxious that Trump will wreck the soft landing. “He is telling us, in everything he is doing, that he is not kidding around.” www.wsj.com/economy/trum... - ThreadSky

He's actually telling them he doesn't know what he's doing. He went bankrupt running a casino. And that was pre-dementia.

He's flailing.

Maybe instead of 1st and 2nd terms, “Adults in the room” and “No adults in the room” might be more descriptive.

At the end of 2016, the economy was in great shape and had some excellent tailwinds (housing, demographics).

At the end of 2024, the US economy was the "envy" of the world, but we are missing strong tailwinds going forward.

Wild that an economic forecast is predicated on “don’t worry, he’s just lying, he’s not actually going to do anything of the things he’s promising to do” for the winner of the fucking US Presidential election.

One side promises to help, falls short due to obstructionists.

The other side promises to do evil, crazy things for nonsensical reasons and *sometimes* get stopped by the rule of law.

This is used as an example of how both sides are equally bad.

reply

pjbrissy.bsky.social•1 day ago

It was definitely something they used to say about Roe all the time. “Don’t worry, they’ve been saying that for 50 years, they’re never *actually* going to get rid of it. That would be madness.”

People ascribe to him, some nebulous "enlightened" business acumen that he simply does not possess. He's simply a narcissistic imbecile who hears nothing but his own voice, and has to be the biggest guy in the room. In reality, he's always the smallest (and the dumbest). Pathetic really.

The Federal Reserve managed two soft landings in the past 60 years, 1994–1995 & 2023-2024. An economic soft landing is a slowdown in economic growth that doesn't lead to a recession & because under Biden, the Fed did this, Trump needs to destroy the US & global economy.

He’s doing exactly the same as Milei. Argentina‘s GDP is 26th in the world. USA is 2nd. That’s 33x larger. There will be a recession, there will be high unemployment, there will be high inflation. Foreign investors will likely rush for the exits. They will return when the austerity campaign is over.
