And the markets are down again this morning after yesterday's sugar high. Root cause: instability and bond markets crashing. The US pays for debt by selling bonds. The house of cards is collapsing.
I can deal with him being a braggart and a liar. IT happens. He's far from the only one that all of us know.
What I find reprehensible is the millions of folks who go along with it.
The emperor clearly has no clothes, and probably a very tiny you know what.
But not to his folks.
He is the bravest, largest, strongest and most intelligent and powerful man ALIVE!
Please make it stop. Remember Chris and Chuck just 3 days ago. THIS is going to be the crack in the trump armor. Nope, they have successfully spun this as another win for the American people. And many of them have bought it!
In Trump’s first failed term he was surrounded by mostly “C team" aides that would never be considered in those posts by normie GOP presidents.
They talked Trump out of some of his more insane ideas (which was most of them).
This time around he not only got rid of ALL of them and replaced them with what is charitably called the “F team", their #1 criteria for being a cabinet member or other high-level advisors is not only total fealty and undying loyalty to King Donald, but active ENABLERS of his every insane, moronic, stupid and dangerous idea.
They are there to feed Trump’s severe case of narcissistic personality disorder.
Read the Mayo Clinic’s description of this mental illness and try to find ANY of the symptoms that Trump does not ooze with from every pore
….with so much power, surrounded by enablers, is catastrophic for any nation.
Worse yet, Trump has conjured up unprecedented and sweeping ADDITIONAL massive power that the Constitution and rule of law simply do not allow.
On this particular issue, tariffs, there is a reason why the Constitution provides power of taxation and tariffs to CONGRESS and not the sole discretion of one person, the president.
Trump bestowing upon himself TOTAL POWER over tariffs, changing with his every insane whim has made Trump the most destructively dangerous individual in American history.
As his cabal of sycophants cheer him on feeding his obvious mental illness, they are collectively ruining America.
Why isn't there a Dem or Dems out there ridiculing this "deal-making" nonsense! Someone has to keep pointing out that the emperor has no clothes. I am so tired of a lack of narrative from the Dems on ANYTHING! This is a time for them to be cultivating the farmer's votes that they have lost over the decades, for one. Trump deserves SO MUCH ridicule and the only place to get it is from Jon Stewart, Seth Meyers and Jimmy Kimmel.
Outside of Stephen Miller, who I am sure has a picture of Trump in his gym locker, I wonder if there is anyone out there who truly believes that Trump is amazing. All these GOP people who sing his praises and say everything he does is 3D chess are so laughable. I mean we know why Lindsay Graham whips himself up into contortions to praise Trump. Not because he truly believes in what he does, he is scared to death that Trump is going to confirm all the rumors about him. But everyone else? Are they just scared? Are they just stupid? All it takes is one group of GOP to stand up together, in a number that will stand up to trump and say this is all BS and here is why. No one does though!
I'm a psychiatrist and I don't like to play the psychiatry card often without examining people . However , what is so clear is that Trump is such a narcissist that he loves and basically needs people around him bowing to him and kissing his ring . He must not have won his club championship last weekend because I didn't hear him bragging about it.
I’d absolutely believe it was the plan to crash the markets so the wealthy could buy low. He even tweeted that people should be buying hours before he back tracked and the market rallied. This admin lies so much and so frequently we may never know the truth of anything.
He's not smart enough to do that. In the years of being saddled with Trump he has shown ZERO ability for strategic thinking.
Trump has a mind of child. Immediate gratification and praise is what he thrives on. After he does something incredibly stupid, he and his aides reverse engineer excuses (and LIE) to justify the cluster fuck.
Just like a child who gets caught doing something incredibly stupid and makes every excuse to avoid responsibly and accountability.
As reported on April 8, by U.S. Bank Asset Management Group..... "In early March, the S&P 500 crossed into correction territory (a decline of 10% or more from its peak). The S&P 500 is on the precipice of a bear market, down 17.6% from its high on February 19. Since President Trump took office on January 20, the S&P 500 is down 15.6%"
Who voted for a >15% decline in the S&P (in less than 100 days)??

This might ìnterest you i how Canadian PM , Mark Carney may have contributed to Trump's bond problem

Chris, this is the greatest of the greatest analysis you have ever done. Thanks.
The greatest ever written!
…in the history of not just sub-stack writing, but all political writing!!! Ever!! In all countries! 🤪
Floundering under pressure the tariff flip flop lands with a thud. The Art of the Squeal.

If you believe anything Trump has to say at this point, Lyle Lanley of Springfield USA has a monorail to sell you.
Trump selling a moron-orail?
Monorail!

We look like fools in front of the rest of the world, and we are burning bridges that will not be able to be reconstructed.
Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping are smiling broadly right now.

You are giving Trump too much credit.
He's not smart enough to do that. In the years of being saddled with Trump he has shown ZERO ability for strategic thinking.

Well anyone can buy low
Anyone with money can buy low, and the more money you have the more you can buy, it’s really not that complicated.
The BIGGEST GREATEST article ever.
You could have worked for CNN!
😝 lol
Greatest deal maker ever.... ah ya right.

Evidently Stormy Daniels didn't get the memo....
So much gaslighting.
So he told two small lies…..and the Liar in Chief has only lied when his lips are moving……got it!!
