All the fucked up authoritarians did/do.

Kim Jong, Stalin, Mao, Mirziyoyev, Putin…now Trump.

John Pinette on buffets.

This is a self experiment to see if it’s the acids in the citrus or other fruit causing the stomach upset, not a command to eat a ton of fruit in conditions you know will upset your stomach and fix the issue with popping antacids like candy. If the antacids do not help the problem, then perhaps you’d care to check with an allergist or physician to see if there’s a food sensitivity that might be an issue. I have a friend that has a food sensitivity to compounds in apples, onions, and other things, so this would be a quick and cheap way to see if there might be something else going on. IANAD, this is simply a suggestion. Or you can just forego fruit on an empty stomach. Whatever works for you.

He will tolerate none for himself.

The rest of us can get fucked. STFU about the price of eggs, right? He’s no longer president. He’s gone full dictator. This is all about him.

Full tin pot dictator mode engaged.

He’s trying to crash the market. This dude needs to be removed from power. He’s an absolute moron retaliating like a 5 year old child.

Both can be true.

“Stories I disagree with.”

Trump says he doesn’t want stocks to go down, “But I’m a fucking idiot that doesn’t know how these things work.”

I know those feels. The acids in apple juice used to wreck my stomach. Couldn’t drink it. OJ was iffy. No idea why. Regular fruit was fine, though. Try a self experiment and take a small antacid like tums beforehand and see if it helps?

Bernie is right about a good many things, as usual.

Trump’ll pardon him.

Yes. No single change will solve the problem. It would have to be comprehensive.

I just took a couple Ubers. They were driven by retirees as a way to make a little extra cash and get out of the house. Both of them said they would have to quit driving and get another “real” job again if the market continued to tank. This shit rolls downhill…gonna create a job crunch again. People not leaving jobs, no jobs for people entering the marketplace, and companies are going to start crushing labor’s wages and benefits again.

I think that’s what s/he was trying to resolve with the doubling of tax on each additional property. It would become cost prohibitive very quickly to have multiple properties.

That’s how you get Pol Pot shutting down food imports because he wanted higher domestic food production, you know BEFORE they could make enough food to feed everyone without the imports.

This really is exactly what trump is doing. He’s slinging tariffs around like that will spur US industries (and as a petty attempt at being a strongman) and farming but giving those industries zero lead time, and on top of that, the tariffs he imposed are going to affect all of the materials and machinery those industries would need to ramp up their production. And on true insulated tyrant fashion he just makes a declaration and then it’s everyone else’s problem to deal with.

Dude’s a fucking idiot.

Unfortunately I sincerely doubt a lot of them have retirement savings of any significance. There’s a reason Red States are a bigger draw on federal money than Blue States. But if there’s any consolation, once the food prices start hitting again they’ll take notice.

Mocked? I’d rather he be jailed.

I’m surprised he’s even willing to indicate he cares. Well…cares about anything past his falling stock price and burning swasticars.

Trump admin: what’s the rush? He’s not going anywhere.
