At least most other countries about to have elections are seeing a near total collapse of support for their right wing or conservative parties. I guess we Americans are teaching others what not to do, in a very unfortunate way. Get it done, Canada/Australia/etc!

He has no clue what he is doing, and no one around him as any idea what he is going to do next. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

I, just. How can this possibly be legal?

The Wall Street Journal, folks.

The market manipulators have stolen $75k from my 401k since 2/18 this year, $53k of it in the last 2 weeks. Some billionaires are getting rich off of regulars like me.

The tariff policy changes every ten minutes. What a joke. It’s nuclear grade incompetence that would be laughable except they’re ruining people’s lives for sport. Just shameful.

It would normally be an insane thing to announce tariffs, go higher, pause, go even higher, promise you wouldn't budge, then pause, but not everyone. And announce some of this on his crappy app. This is the stupidest timeline possible.

FUNDSTRAT tonight: “.. in the last few days, we have had many conversations with macro fund managers. .. A few have quietly wondered if the President might be insane.”

Thanks Reaganites.

There is a gas pressure canister at work that gives off a sound every time it cycles. It's like the cymbal crash at the beginning of the 4th movement of Gustav Mahler's Symphony No 1. I hear that opening every time. Every. Time. #mahler

First you announce sweeping unprecedented tariffs, then the markets tank, then you say "well, maybe I'll pause them" and the market responds. Isn't that textbook market manipulation? Can we check who shorted the market on Friday? #crooks

What makes this visual even more stunning is that it was made possible by people who said their #1 concern when voting was the economy. What idiots.

A true heater 48 hours for The Onion, in my unbiased opinion.

It’s weird* that the president can just decide to put a huge tax on American businesses without congress even being a little bit involved. * very unconstitutional

Just looked. My 401k is down 35k since this business genius took over. 🤬

I thought this might be a glimmer of good news, but then Susan Collins is mentioned as being concerned and I knew nothing will happen. www.newsweek.com/another-repu...

Estimated Cost of tariffs: $654b From Trade Partnership Worldwide “…American companies will be on the hook for $1-2 billion per day in costs for products that were ordered months ago. Even in smaller trading states like Idaho, businesses could pay an extra $5 million in tariffs. TOMORROW.”

What if you’re so outrageously incompetent you get it done in a matter of minutes?

Time to play the lottery for investment purposes.

He doesn't even know what his own mad plan is based on. "Trump said the U.S. is charging tariffs that are half of what those counties impose on the U.S. But the U.S. tariffs are actually based on trade deficits." www.investors.com/market-trend...

This orange clown has driven us off of the cliff and no one is going to stop him. What a fucking disaster.

Great work, Wisconsin! www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...

Kill a white millionaire, get the death penalty. Kill two black protesters, get invited to CPAC to be celebrated.

This administration really does hate all things good for regular citizens. www.npr.org/2025/03/31/n...

I was going to make bagels but @partyinmyhead.bsky.social suggested pretzels. Here they are!

Hmm, that's odd. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

I learned this week that you can put our troops' lives in danger, compromise our national security, and violate the Espionage Act. And the government will do nothing. But if you write an editorial for your school newspaper that Trump doesn't like, you will be abducted on the street and disappeared.

I bought Twitter for $44,000,000,000 and sold it back to myself for $33,000,000,000. I have 43 kids and no friends. Everything I make explodes
