The Great Trump Recession!

Every time I see Doug Ford in the news, you wonder if he's smoking crack again with his brother Rob.  Old habits die hard

“Absolutely I smoked pot in high school. I don’t like drugs. I don’t even take Aspirin. I don’t drink. I haven’t drank since I’ve been 18 years old … I despise drugs and I’ve done everything I can to stop drugs in my community,” Ford said. 

Ford doesn't treat his body like a shrine ok, maybe more like an amusement park so this no aspirin and no alcohol seems excessive but give the benefit of the doubt.  Maybe Tommy boy should cut back on the diet while he is shutting off the electricity with the smile on his face.  Tommy boy shouldn't poke the bear, FAFO buddy

I didn't realize that Rob has since passed, condolences to the Ford family

They are telling us..... short term is not their focus.  Question is, how long is the "short term" ?? 

"What I have to do is build a strong country. You can't really watch the stock market.

If you look at China, they have a hundred-year perspective. We go by quarters."

"You can't go by that. You have to do what's right. What we're doing is we're building a tremendous foundation for the future."

 Look at Trumps life time history of indecision and respect for the rule of law  ! The GOP own this Trump shit show!…. Tariffs are on. No off. No on, but later. Some tariffs later. Let’s leave NATO. Tariffs? Off. Maybe. Let’s antagonise Europe. Let’s kiss Putin’s ring. Let’s threaten allies . Let’s deport migrant labor. Tariffs are off again. Let’s randomly cut government workers. Let’s disable critical economic institutions. Let’s cut social payments. Oops. Not those ones. Let’s get those ones back. We can’t find them? Oh, let’s cut more workers. Explain your job in an email of you are fired . The funny side of this is to watch Mike Johnson try to juggle dozens of changes in one day and blame democrats for not supporting this nonsense of Elon and his chainsaw and no facts of what’s  actually accomplished !

@joe pockets

Yes, I understand all of that.  Nothing going on today is a surprise to me.  There is no excuse for any of this to be a surprise to anyone.....unless you just simply haven't been paying attention for the last six months, much less the last 4 years.  

This quote from trump is pretty damn funny, since all he would talk about is how great the stock market was, but now thats its going down, hes says dont worry about it.  Guy is a total clown show and huge hypocrite liar.  Sorry but people that believe his non sense are flat out gullible. Like i have been saying forever, just listen to trumps own words and keep track of that.  Nobody needs to watch the so called fake news (which dipshit don made up) to see what a fraud con artist trump is. He tells so many lies, he just cant remember what he says.

No worries thou about drug addict musk high as a kite on ketamine ravaging thru are govt.  Okay got it.    Whats ford and other leaders supposed to do?  Bow down to our dictator?  This might be a good lesson for magas, to realize they need to stop voting against their own self interests for once in their lives.

Dictator trump threatening primaries against any republicans that dont pass things in congress he wants passed. Yes this sounds like a free country

True.... I posted this last week..... 

"The days of the SPX as the primary economic indicator are gone.... The Trump I & Biden I regimes' reliance of pointing to the stock market and saying "the economy is fine" will soon be a thing of the past.  

 Bessent's appointment was the first big red flag in the shift.  Bonds... 

The 10 year yield, a falling 10 year yield, sounds like is going to be the economic sign Trump II is out for...

Some they will get away with this and some will get primaried.  

The recent threat to Massie though is a miscalculation on Trumps' part.  Massie will not be primaried.  No cap.  Bet.  

@cd329

 The stock market is not indicative of the economy. Trump doesn't control the stock market, neither does his words. 

@wallstreetcappers 

I'd definitely agree about limiting what EBT can purchase. You know people are selling the cards for 75% of the value so they can use cash to buy drugs/alcohol. I'd even be on board with having those on govt assistance get drug tested on occasion and maybe even have some community service hours each week. Go around and clean up their neighbored and create good work habits that can get them out of the govt assistant reliance. 

never said trump controls the markets.  What i said he that hes loves to talk about the markets when its up, but when it goes down he says dont worry about the market.  Sorry but in my book thats a hypocrite.  Maybe he shouldnt say anything about the markets, cause if he wants to take the good then he should be a big boy and take the bad also. Just my opinion thou

@cd329

 Maybe, just maybe, the stock market has other issues besides "tariffs".   But here's everyone blaming tariffs on stocks falling because that's the hot topic. Maybe there's more to it then just tariffs. 

@cd329

 Trump's track record of being involved in the markets is like the worst ever, I chuckle when he opens his trap and says moronic things and unfortunately that is pretty much every single day for the last ten years.

He only cares about his personal interests and being the center of attention, outside that I doubt he can remember even 20% of the crap swirling around him. He is better suited to be a golf club junkie and stop forcing his partisan throw up into the general public. If I want stock advice I would listen to him and do the opposite, kind of like that cooler Jim Cramer.

@BigGame90

 Big fish= corps and pacs and dark money

 Little fish= forest service, low level low pay government workers, USAID and illegals

 Trump needs to entertain the low IQ pubic with zero value target practice so he can claim victory for his partisan causes which amount to literally nothing of value thus far.

So very true  I was always taught that the truth is very easy to remember and lies are pretty close to impossible to remember. Been living that way for all 62 years of my life.  Trump has told so many lies that even if he wrote them all down, he wouldnt be able to go back and actually find them

only response i have to this typical maga defense for trump is lmfaoooooooooooooooo.  Am sure you know more then all the economists around the world do.

trying to not blame tariffs

@cd329

 Well lets see, markets just went green on the day. Care to explain? All you crying wolf because the market was red today, care to explain the sudden turn around today? 

Economists are not the stock market 

The market going down is not solely because of tariffs and if you believe that bahhhaaahhhhh  

that’s good news uniman !

like it’s 1972 and you have Doobie tickets and they play Listen to the Music man !

or you get to sit in the Scooby Van next to Daphne and Velma too I can’t !

think of better news ? Can you ? Truthfully it’s beautiful ! Damn !

Thanks to Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s youthful little brutish clan !

After gas prices had recently dropped an avg of 5 cents,

March 19 they ROSE 2 cents, and today early we see another RISE... 

According to Conference board, US consumer confidence fall to 12 years low under Trump administration.

And views on another "trump recession" remain at high levels!

@thirdperson

This temporary..till the dust settles after the Tariffs take effect.. then they will be back spending...because that's what Americans love to do..

@thirdperson

And continues to fall along with the stock market

April 3

JP MORGAN says the risk for a recession this year due to Trump tariffs has risen from 40% up to 60% now! 

lmfaooooooooooooooooooooooooooo this should be nominated for funniest post this year so far.  Yup people will now have to figure out which 1 product they can afford to buy.  Honestly i find it hard to believe that this guy actually believes what he posts.
