Seriously...
What did America expect?
This orange cretin bankrupted every business he's set up.
Trump Shuttle, Trump Steaks, Trump Plaza...
Even a bloody casino!
Did you really, honestly think he could run the economy of a country?!?
I think it is important to mention that many of these were during March of 2020, when COVID fear was at its peak. There is definitely no simple excuse for 4/3/25, though
The man bankrupted two Casinos. How the hell do you do that when the “House ALWAYS WINS!” The man is an IDIOT ! Guess where he is today ? HE flew down on tax payers money on Air Force One to go GOLFING in Florida ! WTF is wrong with America? 🤦♀️
I'd be willing to guess that there are millions of people between the Hudson River and the rest of the country that don't have a dime in a 401k or an IRA or the stock market, and think the ones that do are communists
- suck on that for a while.
My thought is he doesn’t care because he’s hot into crypto and he would like to force us to go strictly digital. Apparently there’s no audit trail. And it’s totally a gift.
I agree 33% of time I think the mega rich are conniving to buy stocks at a very low bottom 33% I think its a very clever plan in motion by the Orange man & adminstration and 33% I think he's just absolutely batshit crazy and everyone's simply sucking up or scared of him .. on rotation
I agree. You don't want to risk your last money. I'm heavy invested myself. About 97% in stocks. The rest on a bank account. Luckily I have dividends which I don't dare to invest right now.
if you're working in the oval office and trump says "I'm going to lift the tariffs on the EU tomorrow" you've got a clear advantage over the rest of the investors.
We need a "SAFE WORD" at our protests on Saturday.
Trump will take advantage of minor incidents or PLANTS who engage in violence to impose the Insurrection Act & use the military to put a halt to Americans from exercising their First Amendment rights.
Yes b/c they infiltrated George Floyd & Palestine protests already! It was a Boogaloo Boy that set fire to Police station, & another one was breaking windows & the protesters followed him behind a blding & ran him off! Get them out fast if you see anyone out of line or trying to work people up!
With this graphic in mind, why were so many in the business community supporting tRump, these were the times of their biggest gains. The rich got richer. Like tax cuts these crashes make the rich richer. Buy low and sell high. They have the cash. They are buying.
Someone will do a chart showing wealth increases over this time, and it will be sickening, knowing that many who had to take funds out during this time, because of retirement or to pay medical bills or to close on a house will have suffered massive losses.
Let's see. Each date was in 2020 except one, and it's 2025. Each number is 1000+. And each has the letters T R U M P. I wonder what that means? Surely, someone else is smarter than me can find other patterns.
It’s OK, he’s just funneling the money out of America to the Cayman Islands, so we pay for the tariffs and the product and then they get to write those things off as business expenses
Until maga fully understands what this plain English is, we're going to continue screaming into the void. Apparently there is a vast void between their ears that's fact resistant.
Tariffs CAN drive investment (manufacturing) onto U.S. soil.
HOW? With the dissolution of unions; the end of a minimum wage; the end of worker protections; the end of employer based health insurance; the end of employers matching employees' Soc.Security tax.
NAFTA/USMCA killed U.S. upward mobility.
Government stimulus and economic recovery fueled it. Also added several trillion to the federal deficit. Dump botched the pandemic and his terrible policies were a disaster to millions of Americans.
You conveniently left all that out.
Hmmm 🤔
People should have to pass a basic test to vote. We have allowed lazy, uneducated people to take over our once great country. It’s time to take it back
The smarter ones are too threatening and the target of voter suppression tactics. This the new statement about the dissolution of the Dept of Education and funding going directly to CAPITULATING states: ‘Education funding is a privilege not a right.’ This Admin lives and breathes extortion.
People should have to pass a basic politics exam, they should understand the process and the structure of government, before been allowed to vote on it.
Believe it or not, many of us learned this in high school Civics classes. How did the MAGA base become so illiterate about the Constitution?? 1) The NRA reducing all rights to the right to bear firearms and funding it, 2) the reaction of ‘states’ rights South to Civil Rights legislation in the 60’s.
I know that what I’m saying is wrong and that there is history back to Jim Crow. I’m just so damn mad that there isn’t more incentive or accountability other than hate to vote.
Why blame the voters and not the systems? The bankrolled FOX News propaganda machines, despoiled education and money in politics, off the top of my head.
Or how about the striking evidence that indeed the vote was messed with in swing state district tabulations? There are legit questions as to whether Trump won, one reason why his admin is requesting all the State Data records.
This is just an overview https://youtu.be/cdg5YFwNayQ?feature=shared
Right enough. What we should require is that our education system supports a good foundational education for a graduation degree. It’s amazing what passes for education in some states: Praeger U, creationism, etc. There are no standards for home schooling in many states (thoughSOME do a good job).
It's all pump and dump isn't it?
Every time Trump crashes the economy, as he has six times before, someone is profiting. They're stealing your money, America.
There will be lots of profit. Prisons, detainment camps, the 'privatizing' of everything, and perhaps the big payoff, this "strategic cryptocurrency reserve." They're going to literally buy digits with America's gold.
how about tariffs in 1882, 1890, 1897, 1909, 1913, 1922, 1930...blah, blah, blah...all these bullshit attempts using tariffs that didn't work and here we are again...talk about stupid...
That's what they mean by "Golden." It's those time when a little bit of gold buys up all the real estate and assets and labor from people who would rather not starve or leave their measles untreated.
He's crashed the economy more times than he's had bankruptcies!! The art of the no deal. By the way has anyone asked him exactly what penguins export to the US?
Tarriffs may have been an economic disaster the last two times, but they didnt have a president who filed four bankruptcies after inheriting $200 million…we’re in good hands. 😳
The pattern is simple: Every single one of these record-breaking stock market crashes happened under Trump’s presidency. Maybe ‘The Art of the Deal’ should’ve included a chapter on not tanking the economy?
Exactly. Running a country isn’t like stiffing contractors, dodging debt collectors, & slapping your name on failed casinos. Unfortunately for Drumpf, the U.S. economy doesn’t have a bankruptcy court to bail him out - just millions of ppl stuck w/ the bill.
Sure, Drumpf oversaw some big stock market gains - but only after presiding over some of the worst crashes in history. It’s like bragging about winning back money at the casino after losing your entire paycheck at the slots. A real economy isn’t built on wild swings and panic rebounds.
You could very well be right. However, I’m not sure they went out of business because he was inept or because they were money laundering complete operations for the Russian government designed to lose from the very start.
Dear MAGAs, we are putting tariffs on nations that don't even exist, on uninhabited islands, and an American military base. What would it take for you to realize these guys don't know what they are doing?
I'm no good with patterns. Can someone help me out here?

I will try.
A "very stable genius",Don the Con, insists that Wall St. is doing much better when he is in charge.
Appears to interprete the BIG RED figures as evidence that the economy is doing very well.
So a pattern of gross FAILURE !
trump didn't want didn't want to go down in history as the only guy who ever bankrupted a casino, now he's the only guy that's ever bankrupted a fucking country.
Aside from nearly all of them being due to the global Covid shock, it's completely normal that the highest drops in terms of number of points would be recent. The Dow Jones only broke 10,000 25 years ago, so it's unsurprising that there weren't any 2000 point drops in, say, 1974.
That's incorrect. All global markets fell in 2020. Name one major economy, with either a left or right wing government, early lockdown or late lockdown, that didn't experience significant drops in their markets in March 2020.
You’re playing games. There were six Trump drops in 2020. Not all of them could have been in unison with global drops. And none in 2021 under Biden in that ranking.
It’s not nothing. No Obama or Biden drops. And Trump created Covid shock all by himself, killing maybe 800,000 of us through malfeasance and utter stupidity.
But that's clearly not true when the bulk of these drops came in March 2020. You are rewriting history here. The reality is that the global economy came to a standstill for several weeks due to all the world's key economies going in to lockdown.
Percentages are far more accurate than points. In December 1914, for example, the Dow lost 17 points in a single day. But that represented a -24% loss given it only started the day at 71 points, so a huge drop.
Today the Dow loses and gains 17 points in the blink of an eye and no-one cares.
While accurate, much of the Covid drops were unavoidable. Even with the scrapped “pandemic playbook” Covid likely would have had a major negative effect on the stock market. You could even argue that one of the few things he did right was the shut down for covid (something he seems to regret now)
The global economy tanked as a direct result of COVID, not Trump, during the pandemic. While these patterns are attractive, they are misleading. And to be clear, Fuck Trump.
I understand, but the gravity of COVID internationally didn’t change because of his denials. The markets fell because the world shut down (including the US … one of Trump’s best moves of POTUS). If the markets hadn’t fallen it would have been because he didn’t shut down. That would have been worse
President Truman had a plaque on his desk that read 'the buck stops here' .... if you're the president it's on you. If you do everything you can to soften the blow then perhaps history will give you a mulligan but if you just stand there screaming 'hoax' then you'll pay the tab
In their alternative reality they’re winning bigly! Remember up is down right is wrong and being a convicted felon is the same as being Jesus! Remember that’s why he loves them.
You have to look at it from the standpoint of the winners. If they crash the stock market so they can buy the stocks up cheap they get even richer. We get even poorer but that's ok for them. They own us now. They take our birth control away. Get rid of all the pesky immigrants and opt for 👇
child labor. The lower income portions of the country pay all the taxes. The lowest income paying the highest taxes. Really all they've done is legalize slavery without legalizing slavery. Not to mention the price to buy yourself back from the federal government is $2300.
Christian, Thank you!... You are NOT alone!!!.. We MUST stand STRONG and do whatever is necessary to remove these No Good SOBs from OUR Government!.. WE MUST!!!.. There is NO Alternative! 😡
Let's face it. The man is deranged. He is no longer functional mentally. He's never been the brightest light on the tree but now he's setting the tree on fire.
Can we get a Billionaire to pay off someone at Penn to release his academic records? How is that different than a Billionaire buying votes in Wisconsin?
this administration is our first openly fascist authoritarian administration and is flouting the constitution and judges rulings. I really hoped that there would be a quasi militaristic intervention and a temporary junta govt to give back to a real POTUS, like Kamala. I was wrong. Democrats wont.
Ladies and Gentleman , I have a nomination for “post of the night “ !!! Bravo, I salute you madam 👏🏼👏🏻👏🏾👍🏾 ( Informative/ History/ Truth + Real 💩 categories)
am I the only one that thinks , tRumpy is using tarriff as inside trade deal ploy? To crash the economy, trump and Billionaires Bro’s use illegal laundering $$$$$$, to buy low! Then easy tariffs market will spike a then sell?…🤔 could this be that simple?
I'm not here to defend Trump, because fuck that guy, but five of those dates are in March '20. You may recall that the world was in somewhat unusual circumstances right around then.
point is valid... but also he wasnt doing anything related to covid beyond misinformation/mismanagement. had he taken some sort of responsible leadership action the dow might have not dipped as low
if it was Biden he would have let the experts speak and guide policy, he would have assured us it was gonna be ok and would have worn a face mask to the ice cream shop - no joke
Deliberately shorting the market so that his mates can stock up on cheap shares and make a huge profit when the markets recover in a few months time… 🙄
And he went to business school?! Wharton should be embarrassed and lose their accreditation as a business school for putting out students like trump!!!
To be honest about it: Covid burnt everywhere and to avoid cherrypicking use relativ decreases,
BUT: today was simply absolute stupidity
(Or the biggest bank heist ever when Trump family or his inner circle shorted stocks in a massive scale before the announcement)
It could get even worse if other countries get serious about their response to the U.S. tariff war.
Billionaires will do okay as they have the cash to buy the crash of stocks at their 2-3 year lows.
I'm retired and my retirement 401(k) is getting hit hard. I'm not a millionaire. 😟😟😟
My born rich colleague said to me this is a great opportunity to buy stocks… thanks Larry, I’ll buy stocks with my non-existent big cash stash… but got me thinking, maybe this is Trump’s aim and he and his buddies are doing this. Thoughts?
Absolutely. Great time to grab the things that people are forced to sell to survive. And the ghouls WILL be there with ready cash to buy at a fraction of value.
1. I get the sarcasm and understand what is being said.
2. However, as a percentage of the totals in each of the major indexes, the drops in 2020 were much worse. The next few days will paint a clearer picture of where things are going.
I think the drops today were just a preview, my guess is people were hoping he would say 'sike' and reverse things like he did before.
I don't think he will this time.
What is glaringly obvious are the countries NOT on the Tariffs list, namely Russia, Belarus, Hungary, and North Korea. Did I miss any evil dictators? Is this the Don’s Dictator Discount?
What pisses me off is that because of all the propaganda, way too many people think Trump deserves an asterisk for covid from his 1st term & think before covid, we had a great economy. Even if his surrogates went on TV on a totally different topic, they would say "best economy ever" and it sank in
I hear that. The MAGA sycophants who claimed they made lots of money during his prior term and lost money during President Biden's made my head hurt. Just outright lies - for what?
Yeah I have to pay mine back. Apparently because I am self employed I got a small business loan not a PPP so I am still paying it off. Didn’t get forgiveness like all the others. They got free millions and got got stuck with mine. $16k. 🤬
Honestly, I hope he destroys the craven billionaire class that supports him, or at least hurts them so badly they work with us to put in structures to prevent someone like him from ever destroying the world like he is doing.
I mean Putin started as the oligarch’s puppet. They thought they could control him but history says different.
They were the ones vowing to their puppet at the end.
It's willful destruction of a great country!
Who said the revolution won't be televised?

Apparently, Trump is keeping up with his image as a LOSER! No freaking way should America trust our economy to a man who bankrupt casinos! People are bringing you their hard, earned money.
Did he have Lenny (DonJr) and Squiggy (Eric) counting the receipts?🤣
It's not just the losses; it's also the loss of potential gains from our scientific leadership and innovations, especially in this moment of needing new energy solutions. (i.e, IRA initiatives)
Oh, I think science will still happen. It just won't be happening in the U.S. The brain drain has already started and it doesn't seem like anyone is talking about that.
It was the best of times (if your thing is pandemics); it was the worst of times (if you had savings, wanted affordable health care, housing,or property insurance, if you wanted to live in a democracy, if you wanted to trust your government...) Shit, we are doomed.
Curious how this would change if it was percentage instead. Like, fuck that guy and fuck his policies, but percentage is really the only way to credibly/honestly analyze this.

It’s time to out the people behind Trump.
Aside from nearly all of them being due to the global Covid shock, it's completely normal that the highest drops in terms of number of points would be recent. The Dow Jones only broke 10,000 25 years ago, so it's unsurprising that there weren't any 2000 point drops in, say, 1974.
Not sure why you think Biden in 2021 is relevant here.
As for Biden and Obama, you'll note both came into office after major economic shocks, so the stock market was only likely to rise.
Today the Dow loses and gains 17 points in the blink of an eye and no-one cares.
