Amidst this nightmare there are reasons for optimism. But success requires continuing to ratchet up the pressure on Congress and the Administration. Turn fear into courage, because "courage is also contagious". Keep fighting. Read this to help fuel you: https://www.alternet.org/an-ever-stro...
Ask Peter Navarro who will tell you that tariffs are tax cuts! Of course, he's never read 1984: “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
Fred, Trump is giving his friend Putin what he's always wanted. A weakened and a divided U.S. There's nobody around him that has the guts to slow him down. Somehow, someway there has to be enough men and women in Congress with the fortitude to stop him. God help us.
Shorting the market, or short selling, is a strategy where investors profit from a decline in the price of an asset by borrowing it, selling it, and then buying it back at a lower price to return to the lenders… someone is getting rich out of this meanwhile the many are the ones paying the price … 🤔
A special shout out to the over 36% of Americans who DID NOT VOTE in the last election. You helped put us all in this $h1thole and I hope somehow you feel a little extra pain for your (lack of) effort.
I am about $24,000 dollars poorer on my retirement fund after today. Am I doing “Great” yet, you orange asshole?
Sorry Canada, sorry Mexico, sorry Europe. It’s not us…it’s him.
What’s crazy is that I still see people defending Trump even when they see this. Literally someone said “it has to get worse to get better” and I’ve never been more embarrassed for them
That is almost a perfect vertical line. it looks like Trump tarifs anouncememt had an even worse impact on the economy than 9/11. Al-Qaeda is probably celebrating hard at the moment.
If this pain in the pocketbook is supposed to make it great later, for all of us - what is the later great going to be? What is the goal in this bro budget?

that ski slope went from green to double diamond real fast…
it’s almost like 🍊 has no clue what he’s doing
meanwhile, PM carney of 🇨🇦 actually worked at goldman sachs and has a solid understanding of economics, probably the best background you would need to navigate this mess with the 🇺🇸
If this was a democratic president EVERYONE would scream to impeach them, but here trump gets a free pass, fuck the conservative, they've shown either incompetence or Malice, neither should be in power
Incompetence AND malice. We've got doge practicing anti-woke firings, economic terrorism, Republicans are pushing hate bills in the Senate and Congress, what a fucking awful time to be alive.
Pennies on the dollar !! The very rich will end up even richer after they take the rest of our savings !! It’s almost like this recession was planned !!
So let me get this straight...we're supposed to believe that a pervert born with a silver spoon in his mouth, can't complete a sentence, bankrupted 6 companies is the expert on world economic policy??
so , a few really rich guys can now buy up all the stocks at a greatly reduced rate, gaining more control over the markets,
burn it down and then buy it up cheap
Graphs look great or awful depending on the range of numbers on them. Sure, stock prices look bad today, but the line wouldn’t go straight down if the bottom number were, say 30,000 or 20,000 or zero. But MAGA with stocks may pay attention.
I was able to locate my spark of joy this morning when it occurred to me that my Republican brother is gonna be very unhappy about this. Petty, I know, but you have to take happiness where you can find it.
I don't think he likes Trump, per se, or cares about the culture wars. He's just one of those people with a lot of $ who doesn't want to pay taxes and thinks Repubs are "good for the economy." (LOL) Definitely will have the sads over a dropping stock market.
Long term, you wreak havoc on the world economy. Short-term, you sink your own Titanic. 🤣🤣🤣🇫🇷🇪🇺🇺🇦Good luck with your village idiot ruler, Moronica Great Again ! 🤡🤡🤡
It looks like Trump and the billionaires are trying to create a bear market. When the time is right the scavenging billionaires will find a lot of bargains and get even more obscenely wealthy.
Billionaires and not just evil they are vulgar. They are lower than dog shit and so is Capitol Hill.
I used to be an economist. I genuinely no longer care. This stuff used to keep me up at night. In the end, it's all a game, and the only option is just not to play. Fuck money

Pulled our IRA funds out of investments and into high yield money market accounts until his 💩 is done! Going to try to ride it out on the 401k front..
I’d rather have stability for my sanity!!
It would only take one secret service agent to handle this and Make America Great Again

I am in no way a Trumper but this is a short view of a day or a week.
If you take the same view out to a month or a year its within the bubble that arrived when he got elected.
the impact hasn't landed yet , it will get worse.
💸🚽💸🚽💸🚽💸🚽💸
My take: if he's capable of doing so, why didn't he do that in the first place?
burn it down and then buy it up cheap

Oh... my... gods....
Fuuuuuuuuuuu.....uuuuuuu.....uuuuuuu....(wheeze)... uuuuck.
Gotta smirk as we ride this crazy train into oblivion.
Oh, and RESIST!!!!!
