I'm going to laugh so hard if Trump has an "apparent suicide" and at least one cop says it's not suspicious, if they can do it to whistleblowers who risk their profits, surely this qualifies?
Not saying it's likely, just that I absolutely will laugh, probably for days.
Well shit. I hoped it was just bluster, but if he's serious it makes a lot of sense.
The 0.1% gain wealth whenever economies crash. He is obviously going to try to crash the world economy so fat cats can buy assets for pennies on the dollar, including entire developing nations. Then the fed prints a gazillion dollars and bails it all out.
Greedy pigs get fatter, the rest of us get leaner.
I hoped it was just bluster
You understand he was president before, right? And that he did this before? Like, he's a totally known quantity, and he's going back to where he was in 2019.
this dude killed 300,000 americans and people are somehow surprised that he's unbothered by the prospect of killing untold vast swaths of people now that it's been demonstrated that he will never be held accountable for his actions

I'm always scratching my head while also panicking
Man... Side with Trump, side with CEOs. This is one of those "Can't both teams lose" situations. Ha
When the economy tanks, stocks plummet, and a million people lose their homes, these assholes will buy up even more houses and stocks cheap.
Then they'll end the tarrifs, pat themselves on the back for saving the economy, and sell high.

Oh no! The leopards are eating faces! Who could have foreseen this?
Let's see, he could not impose tarrifs and make everyone happy that he's not going to burn down the economy OR he could impose tariffs, shut down taxes on the ultra-wealthy and embezzel/stock trade his ass back to billionaire with cash on hand.
he DGAF what anyone wants unless they're going to make him significantly richer.
Either Putin paid him more than the Corpos, or he owes Putin too much to turn around on it.
NOW who's fucking with the money?
It's a bullying tactic straight out of elementary school. Trump knows they will suck up to him and shower him with donations and more importantly fan his ego. He doesn't give a crap about what happens because of the tariffs (obviously) since he can just blame other people.
