It’s still early in the day but the markets have already continued with their decline.

The market often dips right before tax day as Americans take money out of investment accounts to pay what they owe. This year the markets have already dropped, making the amount people will have to withdraw a larger percentage of a smaller principal.

Monday April 14, 2025 could be a whole new disaster.

So much winning!

Will he have to pay her off and then get found guilty of fraud after he fucks her?

 

[eric_erosfan]

The crazy thing is while I expected him to be atrocious on so many other issues which he has been, I did not expect he would also fuck up the stock market.

There are many in high tech who get paid in RSUs. They have all taken a huge pay cut under idiot Trump.

The man doesn't have a plan.

He continues to "use his instincts" because people reward him for it

But he has nothing pplanned past this afternoon, and that is giving him credit beyond what he ddeserves.

They're waiting for Trump to leave on 20 January 2029.

More evidence to support my thesis that rich people are stupid. They never think things through because they assume they can buy their way out of any consequences.

To be fair, I don't think ANYONE expected Trump to deliberately destroy the US economy. Deport illegals, yes. Tear the Feds to shreds, yes. But destroy NATO, break all our alliances, push South Korea and Japan into the arms of China, tell the EU to fuck themselves, they're not allies, and shred world trade? Noope. I don't think any of us expected that, and a miracle won't happen. Cabinet officials and Vance won't remove him, they support this. The GOP with one or two exceptions are scared of him, Mitch is strangely silent, the House are grovelling weasals, and the Democrats are irrelevant.

Get your surfboards out, guys, we're in for one heck of a ride.....China's gonna go for Taiwan, Ukraine will fuck Russia over, we're in a trade war to end all trade wars, and our President is a whackjob to end all whackjobs....have I summed it up adequately?

We told you Trump was a criminal idiot. We screamed about it for months while you talked trash about Biden and Harris.

BS, The Market Drop was orchestrated by the Chinese.

Business

Markets plunge with S&P 500 down 6% and Dow down 2,200 after China retaliates against Trump tariffs​

In the end they will blink first.

WTF?

Are you suggesting that Trump is at war with the stock market?

Yep, you have (except you got Russia and Ukraine the wrong way round).

Mind you, if anything could make Taiwan welcome China in, getting fucked over by the US could do it. I think we already know how much help the tangerine palpatine is going to be if (when) China makes its military move.

Your allegiance to the moron is making you dumb.

Government waste and inefficiency is only a slice of the waste that the USA does on a scale unprecedented in history. Dropping the parts of the economy that we don't need anymore, that were insane and stupid to ever have, is part of our recovery.

From the article:

“I just figured out why @howardlutnick is indifferent to the stock market and the economy crashing,” he wrote. “He and Cantor are long bonds. He profits when our economy implodes.”

He added: “It’s a bad idea to pick a Secretary of Commerce whose firm is levered long fixed income. It’s an irreconcilable conflict of interest.”







We. Told. Them. So.

Not quite sure what this means. What are the "parts of the economy we don't need"?

I'm guessing they thought he was an idiot when they backed him, but they expected him to cut their taxes and loosen the regulations on their business, not trash the system of global commerce that made them so much money in the first place!

Surprised Obama isn't saying, "Hey, Trump is talking about a third term, isn't he? Now remember how much better things were during my first two terms, and besides, I'm 15 years younger and in far better shape than that doddering blowhard:

OBAMA in 2029 - He deserves a third term more than Orange Julius Caesar!"

A large part of the waste is importing products, parts of products, and food, instead of making and growing what we use and eat here and keeping people employed and paid enough to afford homes. Global corporations and port cities take a hefty slice of the profits of global low wages and slavery. We pay for shipping, which uses more energy, but still temporarily costs less than labor with fair wages here. The billionaires are pissed about losing that gravy train and flailing around in desperation to coerce or manipulate nations into keeping the train going a little more.

There is plenty more to cut. Pointing in any random direction could find some. One example is suburban lawns. They cost money, fuel, and labor to mow, on land that could be growing our food.

I'm OK with getting rid of the lawns and replacing them with some other ground cover that doesn't require so much water, etc.

As for everyone growing their own food, well, the Dark Ages were called "Dark" for a reason . . .
