Markets are tumbling, but listen to this entire thing. He is going to do this unless we mobilize. Trump plans to disappear American prisoners into that hellhole in El Salvador. Believe him when he says this.

I take issue with the idea the economy was "rolling pretty good with jobs and inflation" means it was actually a good economy for anyone who wasn't wealthy, but we also weren't teetering on the precipe of a depression before the end of the fiscal year
