I'd add the near collapse of the single most important security on the planet, the American Treasury Bond. It's still on thin ice, liquidity is not good, and countries around the world are considering (a) selling them, which could cripple us with the corresponding increase in interest rates, and (b) moving even more assets out of our markets (Europe stocks have done very well since "Liberation Day").

You putting together a report card for Trump is like asking PETA to judge a Whole Hog BBQ contest.

More winning every day.

Awesome thread!

 

[MarcATL]

Whenever talking about Trump you can never seriously talk in terms of progress, only in terms of digress.

It's not how much of America he's built up, but how much of America he's destroyed and we'd have to build back better.

Orange bag O' shit fake *pResident is shitty. Film at 11.

Did they ever do a "progress report" on the mentally impaired former president?

There’s no way to spin a 20% drop in the Nasdaq as a good thing.

The best you can do is hide under the covers.

With what?

With what?

Loss of value of stock isn't loss of liquid money.

Take economics 101 before commenting on stuff.

Of course it isn’t liquid, but we were planning on retiring some day.

Trump's stewardship of the economy has been trash. The financial markets are in turmoil because of that idiot. Trump is erratic, inept and can't help but rattle the market with his dumbshit tweets. MAGAs will be praising Trump no matter what the hell he does to this country.

The markets lost tons of value from 2022 to 2024, why weren't you crying about it then?

 

[Marener]

The markets lost tons of value from 2022 to 2024, why weren't you crying about it then?

Because we knew that inflation wouldn’t last.

It only lost value from the beginning of 2022 to the end of 2022 and then started a big bull run once inflation eased as we expected.

This market shock is solely because Trump is a moron and acting like a moron. He is not temporarily a moron. He’s just a moron.

LOL bullshit.

It didn't regain its full value until late 2024. That trough in the middle doesn't look Bullish at all.

 

[ElmerMudd]

….and we’re still trillions ahead of a Harris Presidency

Harris has never been President, You need to pay better attention to what is going on

 

[Marener]

LOL bullshit.

I don’t use the DJIA and I don’t know anyone that does. What I said was accurate. The market went down and hit a nadir in late 2022 and started gaining again.

Again, the problem here is that the market shock is caused by ONE DUDE who isn’t going anywhere for years.
