  1. Trump said Biden's economic policies would lead to a Recession or even a Depression. Trump never lies, right? Weird how Joe Biden's 2025 Recession started after he left office and Trump came in and fixed everything on Day One. Hmmm. Oh well. I'm sure we live in the best of all possible worlds, Pangloss. Soon Americans will get to relive the Great Depression and starve together with their families. God Bless you, Donald Trump. ๐Ÿ™ The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 made the Great Depression worse rather than helping the economy. Hereโ€™s how it backfired: 1. Higher Prices for Consumers The tariffs raised taxes on over 20,000 imported goods, making foreign products more expensive for Americans. This meant that U.S. consumers had to either pay more or switch to lower-quality domestic alternatives. 2. Retaliation from Other Countries Other nations didnโ€™t just sit backโ€”they retaliated by imposing their own tariffs on American exports. This hurt U.S. farmers and manufacturers who relied on selling goods abroad, leading to a huge drop in international trade. 3. Economic Contraction Instead of boosting the economy, global trade plummeted by about 65% from 1929 to 1934. Businesses that depended on exportsโ€”especially in agriculture and manufacturingโ€”collapsed, leading to mass layoffs. 4. Unemployment Skyrocketed Before the act was signed, the unemployment rate was around 8%. After the tariffs and the deepening of the Great Depression, unemployment soared to 25% by 1933. 5. Stock Market Decline The stock market had already crashed in 1929, but Smoot-Hawley added more uncertainty. Investors feared lower profits due to shrinking markets, causing further declines. 6. No Real Economic Boost The idea was to protect American jobs and businesses, but since other countries retaliated, U.S. industries that relied on trade suffered more than they benefited. Lesson Learned? Economists now widely agree that protectionist tariffs like Smoot-Hawley tend to do more harm than good. But but but Donald Trump is smarter than the economists and he's got that there real smart feller to help himself to our taxpayer money. ๐Ÿค‘ GO MAGA! MARS NOW! ๐Ÿ’•
  2. Yeah, I bought into the George W Bush "Great Recession" on the way down. That's because I was expecting it and was mostly cash. Bad idea, I know. But you can't buy on the way down unless you have cash. If you're fully invested all the time, you have no cash. FYI, the 2008 crash lasted 8 months. By October 2009, my investment had increased to the same it was a year before. But I made a mistake in 2016 and went mostly cash and lost out on a lot of the Trump market gain. Lesson learned. Always stay 100% invested at all times, except for a 6 months emergency cash fund of course. But that means I can't scoop up stocks for pennies on the dollar during a Trump Stupid Depression 2.0. Where am I going to get the cash from? Especially if I lose my job due to Trump's chaotic economic policies. And the social security payments stop. What then, America? What's your smart*$$ KGB Russian talking points about how we need pain and suffering to make America great again? ๐Ÿ˜ฒ
  3. His Drunk Guy removed the reference to a WW2 era atomic bomber from a government website because it had the word "gay" in it. What could possibly go wrong with an economy run by a guy who only hires "the best people"? ๐Ÿ˜‚ The Enola Gay was the plane that dropped a nuclear bomb on Hiroshima, Japan in 1945. The name was not a reference to homosexuality, but was given to the B-29 bomber by the pilot in honor of his mother, Enola Gay Tibbets. Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha. ๐Ÿคฃ
  4. Wait. Someone who goes broke 6 times isn't very good at business....?!? It's getting so you can hardly believe KGB Russian propaganda anymore. Sad. ๐Ÿ˜“
  5. Then why didn't he make a lot of money in the stock market? If he invested Poppy's inheritance in a S&P Index fund and just sat back and golfed all day, he would have made MORE MONEY than his real estate and sleazy branding empire ever did. "Trump Airlines" "Trump Steaks" "Trump Water" "Trump Casinos" Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha. ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜ญ
  6. Liar. Total 100% porkies. God, the KGB is not sending it's best canon fodder. These propaganda writers are terrible. ๐Ÿ˜ญ Barack Obama took office in January 2009, in the middle of the Great Recession (which started in December 2007 under George W. Bush). The economy was in freefall, with massive job losses and a collapsing financial sector. However, after the passage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (2009) and other economic policies, job growth turned positive in early 2010. From then on, the U.S. experienced 76 consecutive months of job growthโ€”the longest streak on record at the time. By the time Obama left office in January 2017, the economy had gained around 11.6 million jobs, and the unemployment rate had fallen from 10% in 2009 to 4.7%.
  7. Where did you get your Economics degree? K-Mart? Too late to get a refund. They're bankrupt. Recessions never seem to happen until Republicans take charge. Just a coincidence, I'm sure. Recessions are never good unless you're incredibly stupid and think job losses, lower consumer spending, and financial struggles for businesses are "good". The short-term impact of recessions are painful for workers and families. Duh. ๐Ÿ˜›
  8. For a Russian Agent actively trying to cripple and weaken America? Agreed. ๐Ÿ‘ Tarrifs won't make America richer and the world's most powerful man telling everyone there might be a recession this year -- look up "self fulfilling prophecy". God, it's perfectly understandable how MAGA was hoodwinked by this ignorant Conman just because they're racist AF. Great job ๐Ÿ‘
  9. Only if you promise to leave if Trump does more than one dumb thing per week. Pretty please? ๐Ÿ™ If I am wrong and Trump really does understand the stock market --post the proof here. I'm sure everyone could use a good laugh as the value of their 401K account plummets. ๐Ÿ˜€
  10. Excuse my French, but Tim Walz's Midwestern common sense was 100% correct... Musk is a dipsh*t. Carlos Slim isn't some random guy running a taco truck. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Few people realize it, but outside of China and India, Amรฉrica Mรณvil, S.A.B de C.V. (NYSE: AMX) is one of the largest wireless operators in the world. Headquartered in Mexico City, Amรฉrica Mรณvil serves almost 298 million postpaid and prepaid wireless subscribers and nearly 81 million fixed line connections in 25 countries in Central and South America, the U.S., the Caribbean, and in parts of Central and Eastern Europe.
  11. He means himself, of course. ๐Ÿ˜ญ 1. 2016 Campaign: Trump said, โ€œMy uncle was a great professor at MIT for many, many years. I like to say, โ€˜I had an uncle who was a great professor at MIT,โ€™ so Iโ€™m smart.โ€ 2. March 2020 (COVID-19 Response): Trump referenced his uncle when discussing his understanding of viruses, saying, โ€œI like this stuff. I really get itโ€ฆ Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for president.โ€ 3. Various Interviews & Speeches: He often used his uncleโ€™s background to claim he had good instincts about science and technology. Yeah, when I want to hear from a Science expert, I always choose one that's so bad at basic math, they bankrupt a casino. Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha. ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜ญ
  12. Otherwise, he'd be making lots of money there. Has no clue. โ€˜I hate to predict thingsโ€™: Trump doesnโ€™t rule out US recession amid trade tariffs US president downplays recent stock market volatility that followed his ducking and weaving over tariff policy He hates to predict things. Unless it's total ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ’ฉ about a Democratic political rival. ๐Ÿ˜ญ 1. July 2022: At a rally in Prescott Valley, Arizona, Trump warned that Biden's fiscal policies could lead the country into an economic depression akin to the Great Depression. 2. October 2020: During a speech to the Economic Club of New York, Trump claimed that a Democratic win would lead to sharply higher taxes and "destroy our country," resulting in a depression. 3. March 2023: In a statement, Trump asserted that under Biden, the U.S. was "on the verge of a devastating... it's called stagflation," suggesting that the economy could enter a depression akin to the Great Depression. 4. August 2023: At a rally in Alabama, Trump stated that Biden's economic policies were leading the country toward a "massive recession the likes of which we've never seen before." 5. September 2023: In an interview with Fox News, Trump predicted that Biden's handling of the economy would result in a "full-scale depression." 6. October 2023: During a campaign event in Pennsylvania, Trump warned supporters that Biden's tax policies would "crash the economy" and lead to a recession. 7. November 2023: At a press conference, Trump claimed that the stock market would "implode" under Biden, causing a severe economic downturn. 8. January 2024: In a social media post, Trump asserted that Biden's energy policies would "cripple the economy" and lead to a recession. 9. February 2024: During a televised interview, Trump stated that Biden's approach to foreign trade would result in "economic disaster" and a prolonged recession. 10. March 2024: At a rally in Florida, Trump warned that the country was "heading straight for a depression" due to Biden's fiscal policies. Projection, much? It's almost like Trump is looking into a mirror and predicting the future. Just substitute Trump for Biden. โœ…
  13. Maybe. ๐Ÿ˜€ How Elon Musk Muscled His Way Into the FAA The billionaire overseeing a wide-ranging government efficiency effort is offering his own SpaceX technology as the future of flight-safety inside the Federal Aviation Administration Ahhh, don't worry about an untested system being sloppily deployed. When has Musk's Jenius Team ever made basic math mistakes? And he's always on schedule. ๐Ÿ˜„ "Full Self Driving mode is just around the corner" When you get into a airplane do you want a 100% reliable Air Traffic System? Or one that's only reliable during nice weather? Moderate to heavy rain, snow, and hail can cause momentary service drops, while severe storms near ground stations can also affect service. Don't worry, people. Donald Trump knows more about Air Traffic Systems than the experts. Of course he will make the right decisions. GO MAGA GO SLASH AND BURN DESTROY THE DEEP STATE MAKING SURE YOUR SOUTHWEST FLIGHT AIRPLANE INTO LOVE FIELD DOESN'T CRASH Maybe. ๐Ÿ˜ณ
  14. When asked if his tarrifs might cause a recession this year, Trump replies... We're bringing wealth back to America What an ignorant man. Still has no idea this "great wealth" Trump thinks his tarrifs will be "raking in" are paid 100% by US consumers. It's a tax on America. It's not going to make us "rich", you ignorant fool. ๐Ÿ˜ญ
  15. The firefighters were dazed and confused when they had to battle the fire in a cool, low humidity climate. They probably thought they were in San Francisco or something and immediately began to form a Pride Parade. ๐Ÿ˜„
