Trump and his insider trading buddies making billions off his antics.
This is exactly right.
It’s almost like he is just acting randomly and capriciously, like a complete fool who has no idea what he is doing. Or a crook manipulating the markets. Or both.
^^^This.
He’s clearly a crook. After the markets tanked this morning he messaged on Truth Social that this it was a good time to buy KNOWING that he was going to reverse the tariff decision and the markets would rebound. Totally unethical, if not criminal, for the President to be giving stock buying advice when the markets are moving based upon actions which are in his control that are driving the stock market.
The 90 day “pause” is Trump’s admission that he didn’t know what the hell he was doing (the formula that assigned the percent of tariffs place on the various countries was non-sensical, another figment of Trump’s imagination). Since we know what countries were tariffed we are entitled to know what 75 country came “begging” to Trump to make a deal. But don’t hold your breath, because less than a handful of them actually exist.
“The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.”
He is a man out of control. Please Congress, rein him in. This kind of instability is dangerous for our economy and security.
When you say “Congress” please be clear that you actually mean “Congressional Republicans who control both chambers”, and not Democrats who would of course have already passed multiple Articles of Impeachment by now. Trump has violated his oath to faithfully execute the laws of the United States each and every day he has been in office beginning Day One when he pardoned cop-killing insurrectionists. In any event, tomorrow Trump will change his mind and reimpose all these tariffs—because he’s mentally ill and incompetent and because Republicans are cowards. They created this monster and believe have no way to stop him without existentially threatening themselves. Fifty years ago, the Republican Party faced the same dilemma under Nixon and they did the right thing. Nixon resigned.
There were NO cops killed by insurrectionists. According to FactCheck.org, despite having claimed Officer Brian Sicknick died a day after the riots from injuries caused by Capitol rioters, following the Medical Examiner’s report, the US. Capitol Police released a statement that read: “The USCP accepts the findings from the District of Columbia’s Office of the Chief Medical Examiner that Officer Brian Sicknick died of natural causes.”
Four Trump supporters died: two from Heart Attacks, one from what the D.C. medical examiner’s office concluded was an accidental “acute amphetamine intoxication”. According to the Washington Post, “The drug cited in Boyland’s death is addictive and can be prescribed to treat attention-deficit disorder and narcolepsy.” The final Trump supporter who died was killed by a Capitol Police Officer when he fired one round from his service pistol.
Not condoning the rioting, (I think those who were violent were idiots) just correcting the record.
Five police officers died following the insurrection of January 6, and 174 were directly injured. To say no cops were killed is like saying OJ Simpson was found innocent of murder. These violent people were not just “idiots”— they had murderous intent (just ask Mike Pence), and many of them have committed all kinds of violent crimes. The point is, a convicted felon and sexual predator with a serious untreated mental illness, the POTUS, is not faithfully executing the laws and he has continued to do so every day of his presidency. Stop treating him as normal
They died from the injuries and stress sustained during the attempted illegal Republican Coup. I’m not interested in whatever ridiculous spin that Conservatives are trying to put on it in order to abdicate themselves of any responsibility.
Still just working on the concept of a plan in real time and at full scale.
