I'm old enough to remember when everybody on Wall Street was cheering Trump's victory because he was going to be so great for the stock market.

Our analysts may be geniuses but they can't see the future. How could they predict Trump would do the thing he repeatedly said he would? We stand by our decision, at the time, endorsing a deranged moron was the right call.

Trump was riding on Obama’s economy during his first term. Now, on his second term, he’s messing up Biden’s economy. President Biden never received the credit he deserves for his leadership during the post-COVID economic recovery.

u/XFrankXGrimesX 2d ago

and he never will. Biden focused on employment over inflation and making real gains for the people at the bottom. Too bad Americans are pigs who hated it. They want their servant class.

u/MilitantlyWokePatrio 2d ago

On my fucking SOUL he will. I don't give a fuck-- the historical record will be clear.

If there's one thing that's more important to me than anything when facing this cataclysmic evil we face, is that to make sure the record is fucking clear once we emerge from this. To make sure it never happens again and to make our country good.

And it fucking will. We will make sure of it.

u/UntdHealthExecRedux 2d ago

In part because he didn't do it in his first term, or at least didn't accomplish such a stupid action. There were still adults in the room but those adults are gone now after warning us exactly this would happen. But I guess economic collapse is the price we pay for avoiding having a brown lady in the White House. Let them eat racism and misogyny I guess.

No it wasn't. You said it yourself 'deranged'. Who supports a deranged person.

The ones that’s about to benefit from a $1.4 T tax cuts.

u/UrghAnotherAccount 2d ago

Thinking this out, the US government is going to reduce its income by putting cutting taxes. This can be offset by the tariffs and cutting expenditure. However, if the public doesn't purchase tariffed goods because they are more expensive or their income hasn't grown, then doesn't the deficit grow dramatically?

7

u/Xijit 2d ago

Trump doesn't care because the more bankrupt the government is, the cheaper his Oligarch bosses can buy out government services & directly bill the American people for them (while we continue to be Taxed for them).

Bro they don't care about the fucking deficit. They care about robbing the country blind to make it more unequal. It's that fucking simple. Trump wants to have everything and wants everyone else to have nothing. It's a fucking power trip bro. That's all there is to it.

"I just can't understand! He did what the liberals told us he would do! But they are crazy... and fox news told me to mock them and be arrogant... but he's doing what they said he would do! My brain can't handle this."

Something very, very good that is coming from this, even though it's a silver lining (but a powerful one) is that the credibility of liberals and our politics is going to be so fucking strong through this. We literally tried to save this country from this, and day by day more people will recognize that and feel it deeply. This will be great for us, in so far as building politically to evict these traitors and actually make our country great.

But he cut taxes to the rich doesn't care about the environment/ future of humanity... So that was supposed to outweight being incapable of proper thought or judgement because he doesn't comprehend words.

I was literally in a meeting with an asset manager that manages like 20 bil in funds on election day, he was going on and on how great a trump victory is going to be for markets etc, played off the tariff risk, the uncertainty he brings etc. Just complete dismissal of all the threats trump brings. Worst part is this was in canada as well, not even some Maga american.

Dude same I was like he’s gonna fuck shit up but I thought it was gonna take until 2026 or 2027 after replacing Jerome Powell at least. If you told me he was going to enact trade policies THIS heavily within the first 90 days in office I would have liquidated my entire portfolio in January.

u/Meat_Frame 2d ago

Well I’m not that surprised because Wall Street is a Demonic Temple that worships power and hierarchy, and such people fucking hate things like equity and inclusion and love to throw slurs at those they deem Lessers.

But it turns out Woke is the only thing keeping the imbeciles off the levers of power.

Boy, did we underestimate the importance of decency. When we get this country back, and I hear a young person being rude, I'm gonna tongue lash them whippersnappers real good. "Sonny!

It’s not like it wasnt being reported for months before the election he was going to impose tarifffs. But bros online kept saying he was going to be great for the economy. All he did his first term was ride Obamas economy and give a giant tax cut for the rich.

1

u/Acceptable-Peace-69 2d ago

And impose tariffs. It’s one of the few things he accomplished.

It cost the USA $200+ billion and 40-50k jobs.

Also, he’s an idiot.

They thought he do the things Wall Street wanted him to do and the other stuff was just talk. It was just campaign rhetoric. He was a businessman after all and that had to be good for Wall Street and the markets after all. Right? They also thought once in office he listen to them if they told him a policy etc was bad for business or the markets tank. Oh well.
