WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump offered a rosy assessment after the stock market dropped sharply Thursday over his tariffs, saying, “I think it’s going very well.”
“The markets are going to boom, the stock is going to boom, the country is going to boom,” he said when asked about the market as he left the White House to fly to one of his Florida golf clubs.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped more than 1,600 points on Thursday as U.S. stocks led a worldwide selloff after the Republican president’s announcement of tariffs against much of the world ignited a shock like none seen since the COVID-19 pandemic.
Of course it’s going well, the stock market drop was exactly what he was hoping for.
Have we forgotten that he has done this each month since he was Inaugurated?
Today the stock market crashrs on the tariff news. The wealthy will buy on this massive dip, and in a few days, HitlerPig will announce that the countries on his list have responded to his tariff threats, so he is postponing them for a month or so.
The stock market will recover a bit, and the wealthy will make a fortune. In a month, he’ll do it all over again.
It’s deliberate market manipulation.
I’m thinking the same but I also wouldn’t bet on it with him. However it is the same play right at the beginning of the month again. They are making so much money off of this.
You know when we recently had one of our leaders crash our economy with right-wing vibe economics in the UK, we kicked her out of the job pretty quickly and now consider her a laughing stock.
Precedent has already been set with what you do in this scenario—what’s taking you guys so long?
Unfortunately US Constitution doesn’t have easy way to kick him out. He won’t be kicked without people rioting on the streets.
Even then you’d need a majority of congress to be sympathetic to the rioters. Most of them are so isolated that chaos in the streets really wouldn’t change their lives or opinions - except maybe to advocate for martial law and more deportations. We could try to vote them out in 2 years but that also seems unlikely unless a real opposition party emerges that actually gains traction.
“Very well” = “according to plan”
He hates America so his plans to destroy it are going very well.
Worst stock market drop since… his first presidency.
There is a reason he set the 5th as the worst of his tariffs to hit. No trading. Monday morning is when the shit hits the fan.
Wtf, there are more coming??
These were just the ones that effect the auto industry and stuff like that. The really massive ones hit Saturday. Those are the ones that will destroy small businesses and farms.
It’s going very well for entities interested in the deterioration of aliances with United States and weaking its global economic power.
So yes, technically correct.
He also said that he has a bigly penis, and that Laura Loomer is totally hot.
“Daddy Putin told me Ive been a good boy.”
Better headline… Breaking News: Liar Lies!
Is he lying if he believes it? He’s deranged.
