Another win ! ! …
( if you’re looking for things in ’ low ’ places ) …
I don’t want anybody to say a word about how wonderful the “Trump market” is. I have lost a ton since Trump and the Republicans cut taxes on the rich and started down the road to a trade war. I suspect I am going to lose a lot more. The son of a bitch is toxic.
Stable genius. On the upside, he won’t be tweeting about the Stock Market anytime soon.
He’s not just a moron. He’s a special kind of moron. Those who voted for him are just you run of the mill moron.
MAGA = Make America Gyrate Again!
No one knew trade and tariffs could be so complicated.
Who? Who would have thought that global markets would be as complicated as healthcare reform? Of course to Dotard everything is as complicated as remembering his real name and what he did yesterday. Sad.
Wait till late summer when no one is around to pick the crops, food prices will skyrocket.
Thanks Trump.
On the bright side, the McRib should be back.
Will Trump up the ante by hitting back at the Chinese? Will he place tariffs on other sets of Chinese goods? His previous actions and personality say that most likely, he will.
“Stocks Dive As China Raises Import Duties To Retaliate Against Trump Tariffs.”
"The Trump Dump."
It will be surprising if he doesn’t blame other countries for starting a trade war just as he blames Democrats for the precarious situation of dreamers.
Off-topic:
Although this is very OTC economic news of the day, i appreciate TPM’s coverage of these sorts of events. Economics is essential news among coverage of global political topics.
He is the bus driver that wants to take everyone with him over the cliff, believing it is a short cut that will work out in the end.
Everything he touches turns to crap, and everyone who has any dealings with him eventually tells him to fuck off.
If they put a bag over his head and told him to negotiate his way out of it, he’d suffocate.
The stock market debacle is gorgeous to me when I think about the rotten rich in this country who tick Republican on their ballots just so they can keep ever more and more of their money and fuck entitlements for the have nots.
But what I’m really waiting for is the have nots who voted Trump paying hundreds more at the grocery store and the big box stores and the malls. Hundreds and hundreds into 4 digits I hope. I have a hard time wishing them illness so they begin to understand the importance of health insurance. I have a hard time wishing them the loss of that insurance.
But not enough cash to buy a new 42" screen to watch the game on? Ground meat for burgers on the grill 1 1/2 times what they paid last summer? Woot woot! Hope the price of chips goes through the roof too.
Trump takes 3,000 points off the Dow in three months with his big mouth. Worst president ever for the economy. Herbert Hoover is looking down and smiling because he no longer has the distinction.
The dent the rotten rich will suffer won’t hurt them nearly as much as it will the millions of us ordinary folk who have relatively modest 401(k)s, hoping to be able to supplement our Social Security in retirement.
The ultra-rich will be fine, but this little game Trump is playing is going to hurt a lot of people who will never recover.
