Trump doesn't have the brains , and Trump didn't call the tariffs off because of us , he called them off because of Wall Street we should all remember that he completely ignored our dissatisfaction but as soon as his lap dogs like Ackman started whining he pussies out
Only if it's for a presidential act right? Seems like DJT is communicating as a private citizen to me. They'll never hold him accountable, but we can dream.
I well remember the moment he said that. What he did was child’s play compared to what has happened in the last 3 months. But we were graced with a fairly honest realistic Congress, unlike today.
If you knew when you placed your bets what the score was going to be before the game started, you'd clean up. I think that's the analogy you're looking for. He doesn't care which "team" wins or loses, as long as he can grift off of it.
One of the few sources of enjoyment I've had over the past couple days is watching the cult tie themselves into knots to justify whether setting the tariffs was a "Masterful gambit!", or undoing the tariffs was a "Masterful gambit!", or both.
They must give themselves whiplash trying to keep up.
So the ChatGPT economic policy has been abandoned after less than a week. A few weeks after houthi attack plans were leaked by SecDef to a journalist on Signal. When will Americans realise they're being governed by a cadre of idiots? There is no master plan, they fall from one disaster to the next
You give them too much credit Kath 😆 Trump ousted any honest experts and surrounded himself with loyal fools. Trump thought the solution to a pandemic was to drink bleach and his international tariff formula wouldn't pass muster in an ordinary level high school economics exam. It's beyond amateur
Cheeto has always wanted to be accepted by actual wealthy people. This is a fucked up attempt to get the uber wealthy to like and accept him. They will go back to shunning him once he is no longer useful.
Yes sorry "Inject Disinfectant" and "Bring uv light inside the body". Where has this medical marvel been? 😂 It's the dunning-kreuger effect taken to the nth degree so much that he is actually president of the USA. Moderately intelligent people hear themselves talk and limit such idiotic output
Sorry yes project 2025 underpins it all and has been efficiently delivered in disabling the civil service and undermining the rule of law (Terrifying). I just meant these recent fuck-ups in national security and ChatGPT bear the hallmarks of laziness and incompetence (Also terrifying 😂😧)
The drivel coming out of his mouth is definitely idiotic but it’s just the sideshow. Behind the scenes a small few are getting very wealthy at the expense of the nation/world. Putting through umpteen authoritarian measures along the way to prevent any dissent & protest whilst he’s legally immune.
Agreed there's definitely insiders and cronies (And likely the president himself) getting rich betting against America. Sure didn't he post on truth social that "It's a good time to buy" right before he announced his 90-day suspension of tariffs? Blatant Treason
And behind the Heritage foundation are preachers (white) who are shifting in to a Christian nationalist nation with white supremacy. White privilege is not enough for them, complete supremacy is the goal. Why would our fellow humans, Black people join a military that will never respect them?
Yes the language used by Vance in his European visits this year was to speak to our shared "Judeo-Christian" history 🙈 While that might be Europes history, modern Europe is proudly a multicultural and secular continent for all peoples and religions
i find it funny that people are STILL defending trump and his bullshit after he just decimated their retirement funds and committed an illegal act of insider trading in front of the entire fucking world
The scum tanked economies around the globe to the tune of trillions, just so he could scam a few million off of the stock market. Whoever is left alive in the trump clan after this is over, should be sterilized to prevent them attempting a return to power. (See Mussolini in Italy)
Trump backed off because (a) he was told about the damage to UK businesses and consumers and (b) the market had fallen sufficiently to buy stock cheap and it was necessary to get the markets back up again so massive gains could be made. It's called corruption not economic strategy
Freudian slip there...I meant US NOT UK!!!! (although UK businesses would have been affected, I doubt whether the Orange would-be King has any interest
AND, the bond market sell off freaked out people in his administration who actually understand the market despite their public facing statements. The "full faith and credit of the US government" as measured by Treasury bonds were crashing and in a sell off at 1 pm. Trump caved within the hour.
Actually Stephen old mate, Trump announced tariffs. Most other countries either threatened to retaliate sooner or later or offered to talk about a deal. Nothing was agreed. /1
Nope..remember anything he does and we find out he wont be charged but hey a year or two we wont have to worry. God will respond sooner than we think..
The US has made zero trade agreements since “Liberation day”. Trump chose to nuke the world economy to get attention and spin a false narrative about imaginary “wins”.
Trump is a criminal in anyone’s book and he’s getting away with it because he currently has immunity. He needs to be impeached and removed from office, and anyone who is standing side by side with him deserves the same treatment!
I am certain if you look hard enough you can find that man in a Nazi uniform in some archival black and white photo at Auschwitz. Either he is a time traveller, immortal, or a demon.
Stock Market Fraud. Trump can do whatever he wants anywhere he wants with no repercussions because it all headed by his crooked and unqualified prostitutes.
Wrong, 😑 talking used prophylactic S Miller. We’ve been watching the GREAT ORANGE SCAM FELON RUNNING ANOTHER SCAM ON THE WORLD and STEALING our RETIREMENT SAVINGS.
Get a corrupt SCOTUS to give you executive immunity, become president again, commit financial crimes in broad daylight while destroying the world economy, profit, deny, rinse, and repeat.
And you've witnessed the psychosis of a malignant narcissist whose delusions of grandeur and lust for revenge persuaded him that he was the only man-god who could fly into the sun.
Caillou? Thanks for ruining my kid's PBS childhood show. Caillou had compassion, kindness and empathy, something sorely lacking in this administration.
Stephen Miller is great at BS and trying to insult our intelligence and now he's insulting every other president in American History. Even President Harrison, who died after only 31 days in office was a better president.
It sounds like a textbook case of insider trading.
I'm glad to see Elizabeth Warren and Adam Schiff calling for an investigation into this.
My New York senators need to grow a spine and join them.
We are seeing the greatest heist in History, and it requires a full investigation.
Someone is making money, lots of money and it’s not you. More than anything, the Trump administration has traded away trust in America
i've been asking around, can someone explain the fraud to me, i don't understand. it's not like no one knew when tariffs were going into affect and its not like no one knew what a market bottom looks like. just trying to understand the claims here!
Yeah, if the markets bounce back at all, who wants to ever buy American again, he can kiss all of our arses, he's destroyed your country forever talking to us like that.
Only if they can bring us commoners down far enough that we will work for pennies an hour. They want us desperate. They want women pregnant and popping out babies. The old can all die off. Then the men and children over 9 can work in the new factories.
I know, it's absolutely insane. Keep thinking about all the volunteers organizing protests, and all the millions marching, and Bernie/AOC/Jasmine/Cory/Pete and all the dems doing their best. Lots of good people working hard to fight back, including you. Hang in there. 💙
That's cute and all, investigations are all well amd good, but tariffs being executed by the office of president, even if it is a textbook crime it's not a crime, because the president is doing it, therefore according to the scotus, it can't be a crime. It's the perfect system.
🧐
I wonder why trump isn’t worrying about losing his own money?
Along with most republican senators & representatives??
Did he dump his investments in the markets?
Is bitcoin unaffected by tariffs?
Did he share this with his chosen slaves in Congress (ie: insider trading)?
Who else was tipped off?
Oh, praise our Great Leader! His greatness knows no bounds. We are so grateful for all his great greatness and leadership. Fixing a problem he himself created and then making tons of money off of it, that's truly the greatest of great!
Somehow throwing international markets into disarray in 2 days, then blinking, backing off but pretending you won the door prize is not strategic mastery
A lot of multibillionaires got even richer today, because they had bought up (for cheap) all the stocks that panicked folks sold. I'm guessing it will happen again.
Thank god we're trying to get them an even lower tax rate.
You wanna to call him a Nazi, call him a Nazi. But please remember than not all Germans were Nazis. Ever, not even in the darkest hours of history (although not being a Nazi 1933–45 was the toughest gig).
Most of us can still make the distinction between real Americans and MAGAts. Return the favor?
Agreed. Very few Germans objected to what Hitler was doing to Jews and others. German people watched the Jews being put into cattle cars, and they screamed slurs at them. Horrifying.
Not all did. And we can learn valuable lessons from those who didn’t or actively resisted. I’m very interested in the Germans who resisted and survived. We should closely study and emulate them. The time for their lessons has sadly come again.
I am not a historian but I can guess at some reasons Germans went along with Hitler: financial self-interest; fear of Nazis; hatred of Jews. Other reasons?
Also German g-daughter. Germans were indoctrinated; their media was controlled so it was a constant stream of blame the Jews. Much like trump blames immigrants now. Most Germans were also unaware of the depravity of what nazis were doing. What is sad is that we have all not learned from history.
I changed my voter registration to Republican, not so I could blend in, though it may help, but so I can vote in their primaries and dilute their power. Will never vote for one in the general election. Hoping others will do likewise. This way we can beat them.
Hey Peter- we do know Germans weren’t all Nazis. It seems to be the worst comparison that can be thought of to describe the type of behavior we’re witnessing from our disgusting GOP, enablers and this repugnant administration.
The greatest for the billionaires buying cheap but horrible for EVERYONE else. These MAGAs elected Trump for the economy, and he and his cronies are tanking it, but they claim Trump is playing chess.
Anyone here who believes the 💩 this guy floods the zone with? Miller is the guy who would have to deport his own mother if he was serious about the stance he publicly represents.
Whereas I would call the market manipulator a corrupt criminal. But since Trump fired all the federal
agencies that investigate financial crimes, it’s that “if a tree falls in the forest” situation.
I don’t know about “economic master strategy” but I, for one, won’t buy US products if I have any alternative, I no longer consider the US an ally, business confidence is completely shaken, and I hope my country never invests in the US almost solely out of spite. But yeah, 4D chess move right there.
This guy is evil pure evil and of course he works for the orange Nazi and he’s a little Nazi and a Jew figure that one out with out having an aneurysm😡
Is there a legal mechanism to force law enforcement to investigate who had a sell off prior to the announcements and large buys before the other announcement?
Did Trump just make the world’s first trillionaires????
Absolutely but it seems USA is lawless when it comes to its government they have just blackmailed everyone else in the world I wish more Americans understood how much this hurts them in terms of their reputation and if citizens of other countries want to deal with you.
Trump Stopped His Self -Created Economic Recession—What A Fucking Genius! Biden Re-Built U.S. Economy After Pandemic Collapse And Avoided Predicted Recession. World And U.S. Economists—Claimed “Biden’s Economy Not Only Surpassed All Expectations-He Miraculously Grew U.S. Economy”!
QUIET GENIUS BIDEN
Listen to all the MAGA and many Republicans saying just how bad the economy was under Biden. I blame the media for not telling the truth. Always saying how prices were too high. Biden and Harris called it out as gouging, and Republicans wouldn't do anything about it. Kamala would have been great. 😔
Wait for 4 years and you’ll see evidence of how his fund managers sold and bought shares just a few days before his announcements, someone who he pisses off will give him up
When all of this contrived chaos is over, there’s a PILE of laws that HAVE to be changed or created!! Citizens United has to be repealed, & we HAVE TO HAVE TERM LIMITS! Then SCOTUS needs to be abolished! What the HELL good is a Supreme Court of a DEMOCRACY if the justices have been bought & pd for?
I’m thinking I’m with you, but hoping for SCOTUS reform. At this point I’m still wondering how much worse than *this* it’ll get before we can make those changes happen. I’m hoping this ‘glimmer’ of how bad opens more eyes. Hoping we are moving toward more significant shift.
SCOTUS should have many more justices maybe 15-20, and some random means of these being assigned to particular cases that cannot be interefered with or altered.
Miller is American JEW supporting white supremacist ideology hate group. He is a disciple of the NAZI/ ALT RADICAL RIGHT/KKK/MAGA genuine racist endearing himself as the "bomb thrower" voicing racist and inflammatory demeanor towards his deep hatred of all non-white people.
Aside from baseline desired chaos, harm, fear, grift, etc., I think this was chiefly a capitulation test of Congress. No effective pushback. Now to focus on non-economic initiatives…
Concerns have been raised about potential market manipulation and insider trading, prompting Senator Adam Schiff to announce an investigation into who may have known about the tariff changes in advance and profited from them.
Somehow the markets up 2900 today. trump will be called a genius and get away with everything again. Dems will be owned and the man who thinks Frederick Douglass is alive and George Washington and the Continental Army saved the airports will be hailed as the great orange hope.
I read that Trump did some insider trading before he announced the tariffs.
He should be impeached and jailed for that.
I expect his cronies did too. Same again.
Now that Trump has openly admitted where the weakness in his plan is it is extremely important that countries unite together and continue to desist from purchasing $US and continue to offload US bonds.
They easily could’ve shorted the market before Trump announced the tariffs. Profit
They could easily sell after realizing 10%+ return as the stock market excessively exploded yesterday based on pausing the insane reciprocal tariffs. Profit
Not everyone holds long positions in their stocks. Profit
For a while now I've been thinking about how to call these people, aside from being fascists. Nazism was Nationalsozialismus. These are ChristoFascists. Or TechnoFascists.
How to name the current fascist movement in the USA?
ps. the ChristoFascists fled to the USA, the science people were persecuted and reigned in and the aristocracy (oligarchs with armies) won that battle.
Here I disagree.
Terror is not interesting.
Creativity is interesting.
Terror is quite boring, actually. And freezing up people's lives (what's the right word? English is not native to me). That's the opposite of curiosity/interesting.
My husband was a die-hard Republican prior to this election (he voted for Harris). He told me from the start that this was what Trump, MAGAs in Congress, his cabinet, and his family were doing. He said just watch the market keep coming down until he let's them know when to buy.
So true. Start a panic and small investors sell-off and lose money.
The market exploded so fast today that you know there was a lot of big money waiting to buy 'low'. Probably a lot of Russian oligarchs got in on the action as well.
I like the way your husband thinks!!
It was pretty funny. He refused to listen to me but started to sneak watch MSNBC. Usually, it was Nichole Wallace and Ari Melber. I would have it on in our family room, and he would come in the kitchen and sit where he could see the TV but thought I didn't know he was there.

Stock market manipulation is illegal for a reason. I hope they get grilled and caught for this, but not a lot of hope in that.
Risking collapse of the Govt, deficit loan program...
BANKRUPTCY!

I’m an atheist, but I hope hell exists so that Stephen Miller burns for eternity
Stand up to this bully, and he backs down.
Steven Miller got an entire tube on his lips and then planted them on Donald’s bare ass.
A few days ago I posted that anyone who knew if and when tariffs were going to be lifted (Elon?) would stand to reap billions in gains.
Another scheme.
Bonds are tanking, say goodbye to our great economy.
Money is leaving the USA.
ASSHAT.
It's like a TED talk to show how the f*** more f****** stupid can I f****** be, he's aced that.

How about that bond sell off that spooked Howard Lutnick's holdings ;-)
They will crash the currency for shitcoin

But forreal, after MAGA dragged Nancy Pelosi for insider trading, now they're all about it. 🙄😒
All we did was buy a stock.
But it revealed that there was like 10x more of the stock in existence than should be theoretically possible...
And we should get all those buyers and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law for insider trading
IT WAS CALLED THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION.
THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY " 2.OHHHHHH " IS A GODDAMN INSULT TO ANYONE WITH AN IQ HIGHER THAN A BAG OF DOGSHIT THOUGH.

I mean, we know MAGA has to wear a helmet at dinner but come on.
When Trump isn't criming he's whining. He's a loser.
Republicans betrayed America. They think it won't matter because we'll never have another election.
Let's make sure we do.
He should be impeached and jailed for that.

How to name the current fascist movement in the USA?
Church-nationlists -the american Taliban
Oligarchs -the billionaire class
Tech-Fantasizers -the Techno-Fascist Billionaires.
Temporarily, they are joined in their common interest of wrestling the power from the US political system. For now.
The american people will have no other role in this than to getting instrumentalized for the one or the other.
It's going to be interesting. The Hunger Games civil war.
It will be terrifying.
Europe's been there, from the ~1200s to the ~1500s. Terrible times to be alive, including "small things" like the black plague and such.
In Afghanistan the religious fascists won. Same as in Iran.
ISIS tried that too, but didn't win yet.
Oligarchs with armies do quite well in Russia, Saudi Arabia etc.
Techno-Fascists are still quite new.
It's an emotion that needs your full attention.
