Dow futures down 470 after the Dow dropped about 1,000 points last week.

The question now is whether business and consumers look at the uncertainty around, uh, everything, and freeze up.

These comments sure as shit didn't help.

Could definitely happen, but we could still escape it.

Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are plutopopulist who are often seen as the creators of a political model or theory. However, this vision represents a fallacy because both Trump and Putin are more the result than the cause of the political system. History proves that populism is not recent both in Russia and in the United States. Indeed, it had its birthplace in Russia in the middle of the nineteenth century, and the United States had its first populist experience in that century as well. Moreover, one of the most well-known features of Russian culture is the need for a messianic and charismatic leader whose decisions must be obeyed,while the melting pot of cultures existing in the United States favors the existence of a social gap, namely in periods of economic crisis, and the emergence of a populist leader trying to ride the dissatisfaction wave. This paper proves that Trumpism and Putinism do not represent new ideologies, despite using ideological elements which were already present in American and Russian societies and cultures before Trump and Putin have reached the power.

If a recession happens (current estimates are a 35% to 40% chance), it won't be because Trump inherited a bad economy (in fact, while far from great, it was the strongest in the world when he inherited it). EVEN HE has admitted that the massive, ridiculously rapid disruptions his administration is causing will have caused it. So trying to blame the old and frail Biden won't work.

So let's just hope that the pain that regular Americans are feeling, and will feel, will be worth it. Either way, this will be on Trump.

Trump Won’t Deny There Could Be A Recession—Warns Of ‘Period Of Transition’ In Economy

“Sunday Morning Futures” host Maria Bartiromo asked Trump whether he expected there would be a recession this year, to which Trump responded, “I hate to predict things like that.”

“There is a period of transition, because what we’re doing is very big,” Trump said about implementing his economic agenda like tariffs, adding, “It takes a little time, but I think [his agenda] should be great for us.”

The president also downplayed the stock market dropping over the past week in response to his tariffs, telling Bartiromo the market hadn’t gone down by “much” and saying he “can’t really watch the stock market” as he implements his economic policies, adding, “You can’t go by that, you have to do what’s right.”

Economists upped the odds of a recession this week and cited Trump’s economic policies as the “key risk” that could cause one, amid troubling indicators like lower consumer sentiment, mounting layoffs and the stock market’s decline, with the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta projecting March 6 that the U.S.’ economic output will contract by an annualized rate of -2.4% in 2025’s first quarter.
The stock market also suffered its worst week in six months amid uncertainty over Trump’s tariffs, with Nvidia and Tesla having the biggest declines.

The government has been propping up the economy for a very long time, so it is natural to see a economic decline after Trump starts to turn off the money spicket.

The alternative is to watch inflation consume the country into financial oblivion as they continue to spend like drunken sailors.

The choice is for the voters.

It took Reagan about 4 years before the stagflation of Carter began to go away.

The problem is, Trump only has 2 years to try and keep democrats from taking Congress back to return to the Biden era of status quo fiscal insanity and inflation. Then they will take all their time either trying to impeach Trump or assassinate him once and for all.

 

[j-mac]

Yeah, this time around he's just unloading his flamethrower.

You have got to be either suffering a mental break, or just a lying troll. I haven't figured out which yet...

I never heard you protest when during Obama, or Biden dems pushed "punishing" republicans? Where was your outrage then...?

You are a fraud, and your threads suck....You should do way better.
