The reason the market is going down, is because of Trump's tariffs and his threat to fire fed chief, among other questionable economic moves

Time To End the Fed and Its Mismanagement of Our Economy

Every major economic downturn of the last 110 years bears the mark of the Federal Reserve. In fact, as long as the Fed has been around, it has swung the economy between inflation and recession. Yet Americans, surprisingly, have tolerated it. But we shouldn’t expect that to go on forever. We had...

The market is down 3% today. Trump bashing the Fed chair makes people nervous. Trump is a fucking moron and looking for a scapegoat.

Trump did this. All on his own. No one made him.

Trump doesn’t care and he doesn’t think he’s wrong because his little cultists like you won’t hold him accountable.

He's doing what he thinks is best for the country.

If he's wrong, you guys will crucify us at the midterms.

That's the game.

If he’s wrong, we are all fucked and you’ll never admit it along with the majority of his cult base.

This isn’t a game, asshole. Stop treating politics like reality TV

Right. Trump has wiped out $10 trillion in market capitalization and you’re worried about a handful of transgender athletes.

You have Trump mind virus. You can’t think objectively anymore.

That would have only been 8 trillion without the biden inflation, and if Trump is right, it will come roaring back.

LOl, says the progressive sheep troll.

Why haven't you brought out Curried goathead in a while?

 

[Billiejeens]

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.

He has again been spectacular so far.

That could change, but I see no indication of that coming.

Trump said it so it must be true! Believe! Believe! Believe!

Don’t think about it. Just believe!

A year from now when it doesn’t come “roaring back” you’ll have a new line. I’m guessing that you’ll say the market was always overvalued and it had nothing to do with Trump.

If a year from now this doesn't work my lines won't impact the midterms. Unlike you I don't think my beliefs turn into reality because I want them to.

There will most likely be enough cultists like you who can’t admit you’re wrong to prevent Dems from having a veto proof majority and actually override this moron.

Trump creates his own reality. You believe it.

So if the markets don't come back by midterms, are you voting for a Dem?

Nope, they have way too many other faults. And besides I'm in a gerrymandered district that goes Dem anyway when it comes to congress.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

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.

Trump is only destroying what leftism has built up over the past 60 years. All great for America.

So a handful of transgendered individuals playing women's amateur sports is more important than holding Trump accountable for crashing the economy.

See. You aren't rational.

Reparations, illegal immigration, discrimination against the religious, against school vouchers, for the AGW idiocy.
