To all those screaming that the sky is falling because the stock market is in decline, get real will you. Main Street needs to thrive, Wall Street had 30 years of easy profits on the backs of Western national security.

I encourage people to watch this interview with Tucker Carlson in full. This is instructional for all who cry about the drop in the stock market. He explains the suffering of the working poor. I did find a link that provides the text and also the video clip. The full interview is well worth watching.

Cut debt, the deficit, protect your industries and bring jobs back. That's the key and tariffs are the most simple and crude way to do so though they nearly address the non-tariff abuses.

Scott should do lengthy interviews with others, even more unusual sources who might support the Democrats. When he drops this type of information it lets everyone know why it is vital that America rejuvenates its industries.

 
Isn't it amazing how with each passing day MAGA sounds more like Bernie Sanders and AOC?
Some of old Bernie, yes in respect to actually talking about the working middle class. You can say that about old Obama, Pelosi and Schumer too as they once wanted to stand up to China and protect U.S economic activity, at least through their words (not their actions it would seem).

Trump doesn't want global welfare as AOC would allow. He doesn't want DEI or other policies that deflect from meritocracy. Bernie is far more socialist too. Trump wants to CUT taxes and allow citizens to make decisions with their money, Bernie and AOC want to tax them to hell and control the money through government oligarchies.

Tariffs are an important part of reigning in trade abusers. The non-tariff abuses by these nations are even worse.

Bessent nailed it when he said that we are a highly financed economy, meaning we buy everything we need instead of manufacturing what we need. This also manifests at the individual level in that we hire others to do what Americans used to do themselves. We have lost our practical skills.

The "Golden Age" was when average American's were mostly skilled and self-sufficient. Sadly, thanks to the division of labor, and 'higher' education, it won't come back.

Yeah, bullshit.

70%+ Americans have a 401k. Almost all of them have stock in them. 160M Own stock

It will take a long time to regain the historic losses brought on by Trump’s trade war.

Take your disinformation and shove it up your ass.
 
So far they’ve found no evidence of fraud....since, you know, nobody has been arrested for fraud.

Fraud is a crime, isn’t it? LOL
They're finding waste and abuse. Can fraud be far behind?
 
They do, but they also still prefer cutting services to the poor over increasing taxes on the top end.

Weird mix.
“cutting services” = Less free shit for our shittiest citizens
“increasing taxes on the top end” = A greater penalty for our best citizens

Gee, I wonder why good real core Americans can’t take Mac1958 seriously?
 
We'll see how much they actually "found" and "saved us" at some point, hopefully.
You can google these if you want more details
$375b to Podesta
$20b EPA slush fund Zeldin
$2b Stacy Abrams
$42b for chargers not built
$140b DOGE.com savings
