MAGA: Losing Money Means Nothing

You think it's tough now, you should have been raising a family in the 1980's
 
Here is the issue in the bigger picture. What Trump is doing is pushing every other country to deal among themselves which leaves us far more isolated. You may see this as a good thing but more and more it will not be.

It gives China the perfect opportunity to step in.
lol ! countries are already lining up to cut a better deal with the US .. this is what strong leadership looks like .. those other countries need the US market worse than we need theirs .. in a few weeks this will all be settled with better trade deals for US goods ..until then the trip to get there may be a little bumpy... hide under your bed ... we will let you know when its safe to come out ..
 
No less than LEFTY ESTABLISHMENT POLITICO is now knocking the entire premise of this thread into the dirt.


I mean.

It's not like the stock market and geopolitics might look slightly different 20 months from now.

P.S. Yes, I concede Benny Johnson is an idiot - that hardly rebukes the entire MAGA movement. Weak sauce.
 
We went from "Expensive eggs are a national crisis!" to "Losing money costs you nothing" really fast. I'm sure this will be a winning message for the Republicans in the 2026 midterm elections.


Hey, it's the one percenters who are getting hammered.

You should be happy.

Trump's ancestors are not foreigners? What's the difference betweenTrump's slaves and foreigners' slaves? Trump himself is a slave master who wants loyalty from everyone?

Trump could exist without any foreign ancestors? The United States is built on a foundation of immigration and diversity. That guy Benny isn't an effective promoter of propaganda! lol. :)

Standard MAGA shallow, binary, paranoid thinking. "Losing your country". "Slaves to foreign power".

Unless this "strategy" miraculously turns around very quickly, all those trailer home dwellers with TRUMP signs in their dirty window will be wondering what happened, and who they can blame.

Improving/optimizing tariff agreements is always a solid idea. Burning the system down for the whole planet is not sane. It doesn't have to be all or nothing.

Exactly. This could have been carried out methodically and intelligently without causing the biggest two day drop in the stock market in history.

Sure you could do better (or your cult). Trumps 2017 Tax still in place as well as 21% business tax? Why did your boys not raise all that or work on trade defecits during the last four years? Or during Obiden 1.0? They talk but do nothing but over spend ($28T).

What happened to Tax the rich?

Kind of odd how when Bidumb was blowing up our debt you couldn’t afford eggs but the stock market was up. Now the money flow is being cut and eggs are cheaper but the stock market goes down. It’s almost as if we shouldn’t care.

Trump has only been in office three months. It's too early to tell if he's being methodical. So far it looks like he is, but a lot of it depends on the control he has over his cabinet and his staff.

The financial markets are a teeny tiny part of the equation. So a few rich folks lost a little quid, who cares.

The people who have 401k's should move their assets into less risky places. Move away from stocks and into treasuries. The yields are lower but they're a lot safer and less volatile. If you're a retiree and you're losing money in the market it's your own damn fault. Take charge of your assets, it's the smart thing to do.
