Summary
Trump previously touted the stock market as proof of his success, but he’s now downplaying the stock market as markets tumble due his tariffs imposed on Canada, Mexico, and China.
The S&P 500 has lost all gains since Trump’s election.
Critics warn tariffs risk recession and manufacturing setbacks, but Trump insists on a temporary “period of transition,” claiming tariffs will eventually “make our country rich again.”
The White House insists Trump’s economic policies will succeed long-term, despite warnings from investors and economists of significant economic disruptions ahead.
It’s interesting that he’s pissing off the CIA and FBI. I can’t imagine that a bunch of trained investigators would have a lot of problems finding out the kompromat Putin is holding. And I’m sure there are a few people close to Putin who wouldn’t mind seeing it come out.
What possible dirt could Russia have on Trump that is worse than the public info we already have about his business dealings, associates, and strategies? He’s clearly the biggest piece of shit and his voters don’t care. I think he knows that. What would he be scared of coming out?
I don’t know, but I’d like to see it.
