He presided over one of the best runs in the markets. And it was stable and calm, not chaotic mess like right now.

u/wack_overflow Mar 07 '25

And people chose to ignore the evidence of their eyes and hated him cuz "reasons"

u/Willing-Ad-4088 Mar 07 '25

They wanted to oppress others more than improve their lives. Seeing the amount of people backpedaling is crazy.

u/ravenloreismybankai Mar 07 '25

Too many feeling slighted. Too many thinking their tinfoil hats were crowns instead. Too many Facebook PhD’s. Not enough grateful for the stability of component lead leadership.

Sometimes people need to feel the pain in order to get back to reality. May these next four years, if they don’t destroy us, knock the majority out of the land of conspiracy.

u/whatlineisitanyway Mar 07 '25

The "I don't care if it hurts me as long as it hurts others more" mentality.

u/Willing-Ad-4088 Mar 07 '25

Seeing it in action is baffling. They could advocate for Medicare for all, feeding children, helping homeless vets, etc. they rather focus on the 20 collegiate trans students that won’t even make a bleep in history.

u/Gingeronimoooo Mar 08 '25

I've been friends with my buddy for going on 30 years. His mom is deeeeep in MAGA stuff and Qanon. I've known her that long too especially since we were friends as kids. She said something about homeless vets and I said Bernie has a plan to house every homeless vet and taxes are only on people making 250k+. She's lower middle class btw, if that. That's all I said I didn't say fuck Trump or rant or rave or anything. That's it. She unfriended and blocked me. After literal decades of being her son's best friend and seeing her tons of times.

u/whatlineisitanyway Mar 07 '25

Baffling is underselling it. I'm a Canadian living in the US. Imagine how I feel right now? The only good thing Trump has done is single handedly made sure the Conservatives and PP don't win the next election.

5

u/Willing-Ad-4088 Mar 07 '25

I heard that, and that brings me great joy. Hopefully it starts a movement worldwide. I know the Conservative Party in Canada was basically guaranteed to win until he started this bullshit, so congratulations for you guys.

4

u/whatlineisitanyway Mar 07 '25

Yeah. They probably were going to have a legitimate majority, but the last poll I saw had them down around 6-8 points to the Progressives. The turnaround has been swift and unambiguous.

u/Hammi_and_Chippie Mar 08 '25

You’re using confusing/incorrect terms here. The Conservative Party of Canada is also known as the PC’s or Progressive Conservatives. So when you say the Progressives, most Canadians would assume you’re talking about the Conservatives. I can understand why the names would be confusing when it is in fact the Liberal Party of Canada that is more socially progressive.

1

u/Commissar_Sae Mar 07 '25

There's still a pretty good chance the cons can win, but they are much closer to minority government territory than the majority that was being forecast pre Trump.

1

u/Efficient_Ear_8037 Mar 07 '25

Due to mysterious circumstances, people suddenly really didn’t like the Conservative Party…

u/Away_Media Mar 08 '25

And uniting Canadians? Seriously, what's the real situation up there? Are they divided?

u/Bag_aussie 28d ago edited 28d ago

My friend, the US is not going to have another true election under Trump or his goons. Not under Elon, not with the amount of money and power they hold now.

I’ll eat my own heart if in four years, providing we’re all still alive, that scumbag orange willingly relieves his position as president for a non-Conservative individual he didn’t personally select.

u/Chazbeardz Mar 07 '25

That is the biggest thing that baffles me. So many people voting against their own interest just to spite others. When you have guys like Musk saying things like empathy is a fault, what can we expect I guess?

u/tcmart14 Mar 07 '25

Don't worry, in 3 years they will fall in line behind Donald Part 3 because the libs *check notes* don't care who you consensually fuck in your bedroom.

Good, people backpedaling is at least something. People getting out of a cult is needed.

You’re right, MAGA is so ignorant, fragile, and sophomoric, they can’t acknowledge they made the wrong choice.

No wonder Trump loves the poorly educated!

u/cramers-wifes-bf Mar 07 '25

So now I went from being wrong to “you’re right”? At least they can make a fucking choice.

I’m not the person to whom you originally commented, bud. Not sure what you’re raving about regarding “making a fucking choice” but okay.

I don’t know what’s going on over here. I said “I haven’t seen anyone backpedaling” and then crazy people showed up.

u/whatfappenedhere Mar 07 '25

Incensed, sure, I think anyone with half a brain thinks Trump is a fucking greedy, conman, rapist, authoritarian. What I am saying is that the MAGA folks are so brain dead and devoid of self reflection, that we aren’t going to see them admit error, by and large.

We need someone that had the concept of policies!

u/Fluck_Me_Up Mar 07 '25

Call me a dumb nerd but I like a unified foreign policy that takes into account our longstanding alliances and beneficial economic relationships with neighboring nations

I didn’t know that’s the kind of thing you had to ask for. I thought it was part of a package deal with presidents

Also a president that makes the line go up would be cool too.

Anyways I’m logging off, I need to head back to the clean coal mines now

u/Tennisballt 27d ago

Who need longstanding alliances and friendship. Let’s ruin the ones we had and create new ones. Russia, Saudi, NK, Zimbabwe

u/proze_za 26d ago

It wasn't "reasons", it was real reasons, like they don't like foreigners, or brown people in general, or gays, or trans people, so they voted for an angry white person, who is just as full of prejudice as they are.

u/yapyap6 Mar 07 '25

It blew me away how easy it was to trade under Biden. You could literally swing positions for several days straight and end up with a 20R week.

I miss those days.

Now, holding positions overnight carries significant gap risk if the orange buffoon opens his mouth.

u/OppositeArugula3527 Mar 07 '25

Holding over weekend is also risky. You never know what he's going to yap about on Sunday night.

Forget overlight; I close my positions before lunch these days and take what I can get. Who knows what happens post-lunch - a bad hamburger or a bad case of covfefe could set off the twittler.

I'm doing the same now, most of my trades close before lunch.

u/NotAHost Mar 07 '25

And trump is saying it's going to get worse.

It's hilarious. Trump in office 1st? He's saying best economic times of the worlds. Trump in office round 2? Biden left such a shitty economy, this is all his fault. Lmao, what do you think Biden was working with at the end of his term?

You can say it Trump: 'Thanks Obama!'

Biden was drooling in his basement and didn’t do anything.

…Except when he was a hard-working supergenius who only did bad things.

The Dems didn’t govern. They surrounded themselves with compliant media figures and powerful tech moguls.

u/Jeezusyeezus 28d ago

You do realize the people you’re calling fucking idiots keep your comfortable life together? Truckers, Utility Workers, Farmers, Manufacturers…. These same people are sick and tired of the Bureaucracy. Tired of the insane corruption, inflation, media controlled, forced DEI, absolutely broken justice system and obvious manufactured invasion of our country. The average person wanted a total revolution of our politics. And that’s what we are getting. Trump has been in office for 2 fucking months. The most transparent Administration in recent times, that’s uncovering and stopping insane amounts of bloated govt negligence and laundering is just so awful. How dare they show how are tax $ are being wasted on actual boneheaded things. There’s no defense for how unbelievably stupid DEMs are, I always thought Democrats were fucking idiots, but I didn’t realize they were this fucking stupid.

u/Ok_Ganache_789 Mar 08 '25

Um, where are you getting your “facts”? Did you forget the chaos that ensued in 2018 during his first trade war? The market finished -6.28%, the first down year since Obama’s 2015 -0.73% which really only tapered off around the election. This cause the Fed to lower the Fed Funds rate to 1.75% thus creating an environment of easy money allowing people to refinance and buy second homes in turn exacerbating the housing shortage. But in the words of Ace Ventura “I’m sure you already knew that”

1

u/OppositeArugula3527 29d ago edited 29d ago

Umm yea 2018 was under Trump, so yea that was chaotic. Lower rates was just one part of the shortage. The bigger factors were really supply and that corporations were/are buying up housing for their real estate portfolio. The only chance the average American could ever afford to get a house against the likes of Blackrock and Berkshire was with lower rates. Now that rates are high, corporations dominate the housing market, out numbering first time buyers. Your "knowledge" seems very superficial and regurgitated stuff from TV news outlet.

1

u/Ok_Ganache_789 29d ago

Are you reading your posts? You first claimed the period was stable and calm and then you agree that 2018 was chaotic. Which was it, stable and calm or chaotic? If a quarter of a term is the latter, it’s hard to say that in general a presidency was marked by economic stability. And don’t give me this “media” stuff. That’s media being anti-media, which, is, in fact, media. And you presented not much more than a superficial counterpoint. Yes, investment firms exacerbate the supply problems as do refinancing at all time low rates thus limiting willingness to sell, tight regulations still in place after the housing crisis, increased demand from a work-from-home transition followed, etc.

Anyways, my point wasn’t to address the housing problems, but rather to call b.s. on the notion that Trump’s first term was stable and calm.

There were like economic issues of course with inflation and all that jazz, but it wasn’t him throwing his toy fire truck and blowing up everything literally on a weekly basis. He has gone OUT OF HIS WAY, to ENCOURAGE unpredictability and a lack of calm.

And he did not fix inflation it was fixed well before January, people were just pissed that like always their salaries lagged behind which he ain’t gonna fix.

u/OppositeArugula3527 Mar 07 '25
