I should have been clearer, apologies. I understand the article is fake, I just hate that she finds this even remotely funny or felt the need to share in any way.

True. Though they’re idiots if they think that crashing the economy will create a “dip” that they can buy back in with.

This isn’t a March 2020 market crash caused by some mysterious impersonal virus.

This is him intentionally killing trade agreements that are practically unrecoverable, and the market reacting to that. The market will not bounce back. Our market was largely based on trade. That period is over now. No trade will be happening, not anywhere near the amounts previous.

The market can’t recover from a policy shift towards chaotic fascism. Because our foreign allies have long memories and China’s been waiting for a moment just like this to take over from the US as the world superpower.

This isn’t a temporary crash. This is upending trade policies that took 75+ years to establish and work out. Using the post WW2 reconstruction of global currency that we practically dictated to the world. We put ourselves in a position of unparalleled power in the new world economy by convincing everyone in the world that we were a stable and trustworthy government who wouldn’t ever betray them.

You can’t bring that back by just “dropping” tariffs.

There’s a literal boycott on US goods right now across the world. Nobody’s buying our shit, and I don’t blame them.

We’re intentionally fucking up the global economy, for absolutely no fucking reason, other than this dementia addled dipshit thinks trade is bad and tariffs are good.

That’s literally the closest thing to saying the earth is flat, from an economists standpoint.

This is going to take DECADES to recover from. If the market is lucky.

We just shot ourselves in the foot with a Russian donated AK-47 on full auto and didn’t let off the trigger until both of our feet were just shredded piles of bone and meat, and the ricochets also caught all of our friends standing next to us in their feet as well. Not as badly as we shot ourselves, but more than they were expecting I suspect.

God, the Zelensky one gets me.

He’s not begging for money you ignorant, narcissistic, walking dunning-kruger, fascist supporting asshole.

He’s literally fighting a war against an enemy of America since the 1950s that invaded his country and he’s asking for help so his countrymen and women don’t die or get oppressed by Russian annexation.

He’s on the front lines, we should be thanking him you dumb cunt.

It’s even worse than that.

He stole a liver transplant from someone at the top of the list, and then died a few months later. He wasn’t even a candidate, he was terminal at that point, but he did it anyway to try and give himself a few more months to live, while likely killing someone else who needed that liver much more.
