    1. Well that shows Fox News has an intelligence level close to Trump’s. A successful business dealer with only a few bankruptcies, lol.

    2. Sinking stock market, alienating allies including fucking Canada for some reason?, conceding Ukraine war to Russia, stopping sanctions on Russia…

      Aren’t these exactly what you would expect a Russian asset as president to do?

      Market has to collapse first so all his rich cronies can buy it all up. Then he’ll stop fucking around and go back to golf full time for the next 3.5 years. They’ll have made their money and he will have made his.

      “Americans will starve in the short term, but eventually it’ll all make sense.”

      They literally say shit like this.

      If you really want to see the effects of him, in addition to Canada trading resources elsewhere, watch what happens with Canadians and where we spend our tourism dollars in the coming years.

      I’ve cancelled a trip, and check out r/buycanadian for how many others are doing the same.

      Do average Trump voters strike you as particularly savvy in terms of global trade, international markets, or macro economics?

      They heard that incompetent boob talk about tariffs throughout the campaign, AND saw what he did with them in his previous disastrous turn in the White House, but it evidently had no effect.

      I’m also not entirely sure what percentage of his voters have any material exposure to the stock market, and may not necessarily think that it relates to them in any meaningful way.

      If I was wagering, I’d bet most of them just clapped for the punishment and harm they think he’s doling out, and have no idea they’re also squarely in the crosshairs.

    7. “It’s the price we’ll pay to make America great again.” So, what’s the plan? It’s getting worse to eventually do what? ….exactly.

      The only thing his voters were focused on was the southern border. They never thought about the damage he would do to the United States.

      They really want to do some kind of techno, feudal, theocratic, kleptocracy stuff, eh? How bad off are we going to be in North America?

      Best we can hope for is Winter on Fire scenario. Worst is big Russian guy stops by your house each week to pick up his share of beets and vodka

    11. Let’s face it, the majority of MAGA types are not going to understand what the fuck that even means, and the kleptocrats saw this coming and shorted the hell out of it.

      Majority of Trump supporters don’t own stocks. They think stocks are owned by the “uppity” liberals so they get joy in hurting the market.

      It’s time for an impeachment by the people since congress and the courts are useless

      This is by design. The big corps are getting ready to buy during the fire sale.

    15. Man, Trumpvilles are just going to hit differently. We all agree to rename Johns to Trumps, yes?

      Here’s the thing; anyone who’s experienced any degree of DV is literally being tortured by this goblin having any say in anything. Winning isn’t the goal, it’s a nice-to-have after he retaliates against those who slighted his ego.

      Crash everything and all his billionaire friends (corporations) can buy everything up. I’m sure Trump has a few shell companies that will funnel money to his family as well.

      Lol I sold my MSTR 15 minutes into the day and bought back in with 15 minutes to go in the day. 17% ahead immediately

    19. Oh no see now Stock Market doesn’t count for economic health again. Until stocks go back up, then if an R is in power it counts

    20. So it was never about fentanyl or illegals or a national emergency. That was just a pretext to get to an executive order to sideline congress. So I guess we ( Canada) can save a billion on the border. Just a quick reminder, it was this idiot who negotiated and signed the USMCA Agreement. We could fix the “ subsidy” by charging the US market value for our oil, or we could fix the deficit by stopping shipment altogether. We could help wean Europe off Russian oil and gas. The water flow on the Columbia river is regulated by an agreement between USA and Canada, but hey who signed that? If he does not respect agreements, why should we. What a tool.

      I think this is the plan. Tank the market so there is a massive sell-off, buy everything for the cheap. The rich take more money out of the economy.

      So he threatened tariffs to get them to do what he wanted, then did the tariffs anyway not much later. Threats to get your way stop working if you carry out the threats regardless, there is no reason for him to do this, beyond weakening the West for Putin…

    23. Can someone explain the point of Fox putting the stock ticker there? Is it supposed to be some power play or something?
