Thanks to the glorious 4 years of Biden.

"This is the worst self-inflicted I've seen in the history of our country economically" ---Gene Sperling, former Chief of the National Economic Council Obama inherited the 2008 Financial Crisis, and chose controversial steps to solve it, such as bailing out banks, insurers and the US auto industry Biden inherited the mess of Covid, but took steps to mitigate it, and got the US growing 3 times faster than the average G7 nation, plus getting inflation down faster than any other major nation This POTUS inherited a growing economy and vibrant job market, where all he has to do is sit on his hands and likely take credit for continued growth, but instead he interfered and is killing the equity market, economy, and likely worldwide economic growth. Never has a single person done so much harm in so short a period. Tens of millions will suffer as jobs get lost (it's coming; wait until the May-June job numbers), 401Ks get decimated, growth turns negative, and poor folks drop deeper into poverty.

Sometimes dumb is just dumb. Occam's Razor.

So as the market lost $5 trillion over 2 days, POTUS chose to go cheat play golf, but he did take the time from his busy schedule to post this on his social media platform (in all caps): "ONLY THE WEAK WILL FAIL" Now THAT is leadership! I'm kind of surprised he hasn't yet uttered the famous retail investor adage: "You haven't lost if you haven't sold". LOL

Yes, we all know that disease comes from curses. Time for a real witch hunt!!!!!!

You can watch the video, MAGA. The willful ignorance of MAGAs is something to behold.

I understand POTUS has sent all his "best people" out to look for a deceased feline, particularly one that ricochets off the floor when dropped.

Real corruption? ---Like stealing hundreds of highly classified documents and lying about returning them? ---Like falsely booking a pornstar payoff as a business expense? ---Like trying to overthrow an election? ---Like trying to get a GA SecState to falsify election results? ---Like calling your goobers to DC for what was merely a pro forma election certification, and then prompting them to attack the Capitol (unless you think he's such a moron 'how could he possible know they would be violent')? ---Like setting up a fake charity and using donations for yourself? ---Like setting up a fake "accredited" university? The measly things on a laptop of the son of the President will fade into history as irrelevant and paltry in comparison to the fraud, corruption and criminality of 45 and 47.

If he isn't playing golf and cheating, POTUS will likely spout out a few lies like "You won't believe all the countries calling me begging for a deal. Nobody's ever seen anything like it. The whole world is going to boom because of me. SO much money. Unbelievable. Some people are saying I'm going to get the Nobel in Economics as well as the Peace Prize. Only me, your favorite President, can do this."

Karma is as real as Zeus.

If such products ever come to market, what's the margin? Where are the components sourced? Behind the tariffs? "I lose on every product....but I make up for it in volume"

Does it hurt delicate MAGA sensibilities when someone points out a fact? As 45, POTUS suggested using disinfectant injections to cure Covid. It's on videotape, he wasn't joking, and some MAGAs actually listened to their messiah and did it.

Let me use one of POTUS' stock phrases to describe the carnage of his Administration in just 2.5 horrendous months: "Nobody's ever seen anything like it".

In MAGAstan, FACTS = Attack

Let's add....the IRS itself estimated that with all the DOGE staff cuts at IRS, tax revenues will fall by $500,000,000,000 per year, as people think they can cheat and get away with it. That's $5 trillion over ten years. And the $6,000,000,000,000 in market losses is---let's not forget---just after Obliteration Day 2. So...$1.5 trillion -$6 trillion - $5 trillion = MAGAboom

Come on, POTUS. It's the last hour of the market week. You want a 2000 point Dow drop? Quick, make up some lie and get it out there. Say China called and wants to negotiate. Say Germany is going to build a factory "some people say will be the biggest ever". Tell us again it's going to boom, not go boom. Give the market some hyperbole to chew on. Don't let it fade into the weekend on a low. Find a deceased feline somewhere. Toss it down hard. It might bounce. LOL

Go back a hundred years. The stock market performs much better under Democrats. So does the economy. There has never been a single Republican President, going back to Lincoln, who did not preside over the start of a Recession or Depression. Not even one. The current clown will keep that deplorable string alive.

Oooh, that comment didn't age well.

I suspect that's all the action you get, so don't offend. The US economy has been going gangbusters since 2021, until now. That has been in spite of the growing debt, because foreigners had chosen to fund 30% of it and allow America to live above its means. MAGAs are incapable of understanding capital flows, and are susceptible to the sayings of an abject idiot, a guy who failed his entire life, despite his dad's money, until a producer made him a Game Show Host. Not a good idea to alienate one's paymasters. The clown has done that now. If the US has to pay its own way in the world, what do you think rates would be? How much growth? Rates are set on the margin. 30% is much more than the margin. Rates would soar, or the Fed would have to print 24/7, causing inflation.

what you say carries no weight. What does carry weight is that foreigners trusted the US and its rule of law enough to own $10,000,000,000,000 of Treasury securities and fund 30% of the US deficit. That may well end. Investment in US private capital markets might also slow or end.

In Biden's 4 years, 800,000 new manufacturing jobs were added. Are you willing to bet the 6 bankruptcy guy beats that? I'll take the other side. Oh, UE went up to 4.2% and Feb jobs numbers were revised down.

Hey MAGAs...how's your 401K looking? Oh, I forgot. MAGAs tend to be failures, so few have any money, so all they worry about is if their SNAP Cards and SSDI will still be paid. I never thought I would hear anything as dumb as what POTUS said yesterday when asked about yesterday's stock market tumble... "Market's going to boom. Economy's going to boom. Nobody has ever seen anything like it. It's going to be unbelievable." Only MAGAs trust a silver spoon bozo with 6 bankruptcies, who only survived until his Game Show hosting gig because daddy gave him an allowance, co-signed all his loans, and left him half a billion dollars. Absent daddy and Mark Burnett, the guy would be lucky to be pouring Slurpies in a 7-11 at a truck stop in Keokuk, Iowa.

Actually, the clown is doing exactly what I said he would do....crash the stock market and the economy, and alienate our allies. The US has lost the world's trust for a generation or more. If the US was hit by another 9-11 right now, the best we would get from friends and allies is "thoughts and prayers", along with lots of laughter.

A generational high was Dec 2024. 1929-1954...the Dow finally hit a new high 1989-2024....the Nikkei finally hit a new high. Lucky you're 22 years old and can afford to wait.

Come on, fella. MAGAs will be happy to get 370 baht per day making those things, and the US will remain competitive.
