Summary
As the stock market plunged Monday due to Trump’s trade wars, he spent the day posting on Truth Social.
The Nasdaq fell 4%, its worst drop since 2022, while the S&P 500 lost nearly 3%. Major tech stocks, including Tesla, saw significant losses.
Trump posted over 100 times, endorsing his tariffs despite investor panic. A White House official dismissed the sell-off as irrational fear.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick insisted a recession is unlikely. Trump avoided a clear recession prediction, calling the economy’s shift a “transition.”
“Look, this cliff we’ve intentionally drove off is nothing! The fact that we are plunging 300 feet straight down is an irrational fear you’ll all have to get over. pulls out unwrapped, slightly used Worthers Candy, anyone?” - Howard Lutnick.
We have literally arrived at 1984 levels of lies and delusion, it’s incredible. And all the MAGA’s are willingly falling for it…
They spent the last ten years yelling 1984, I thought they were criticizing it, I didn’t realize that they were actually chanting what they wanted.
Biden’s Cliff was there for four years, he should have done something about it!
Edit: damn, forgot the /s…
I just can’t wait to see what we find… ON HUNTER BIDENS LAPTOP!
You are sarcastic, right? It’s obvious the real culprit here is Obama
I was going to blame Clinton’s emails.
Fuckin Carter
I’m beginning to think that Lincoln guy really fucked us badly. All he had to do was concede a little to the South, and all would be well. He didn’t have the cards.
Scholars have said Lincoln wasn’t nearly as good a president as Trump. The only other president that comes close was Washington.
(Literally a paraphrased Trump quote)
“Nobody’s done as much for the blacks.”
