It's Obvious Now - He Wants a Recession

[The Frankish Reich]

More opportunity to use bogus "emergency powers" to take over more and more parts of the government and the economy.

There's really no other explanation. 

Enjoy the economic downturn. You can feel a lot better that Buffalo and East Palestine OH may be absolutely poorer, but hey, at least not as big a chasm between them and the sunbelt.

And it's worse now. Keep on winning!

 

Bring on that recession. Nothing better than a weak job market to suppress wages for the working men and women who voted for you. 

But no dudes on the lacrosse team! That'll put meat on the table.

Democrats f^%k everything up everything they touch - see any American city

They rile up fringe groups telling them they are victims and can't help themselves, and 

the only thing besides that that they stand for is a firm 'HATE TRUMP NO MATTER WHAT THE COST'

message.

You are so poisoned, all you can muster is “but the Dems!!”

How does tanking Ford stock improve the economy?

Since Trump took office:

 

- S&P 500 down 7.7%

- NASDAQ down 12.3%

- Consumer Confidence at its lowest level in 2.5 years

 

Who needs immigrants when out of work Americans will soon be lining up for those jobs?

[Big Blitz]

It’s like March 2020 to January 2024 never happened.  

 

We have been in a recession since 2023. 
 

They redefined it like they redefined woman.   
 

To expect this to be fixed overnight by anyone is absurd.

Trump does not have the confidence of the business community at all. The WSJ is just dumping on his idiocy constantly.

we were at a dinner party last night with folks near or in retirement.  some had kids who played college sports but I don't believe any played lacrosse - more a baseball/football crowd.  the anger that was once only directed at trump and maga leaders is now directed at all trump voters.  they're the enablers.  the divide and anger has never been higher.  

This thread is interesting in that the maga's here aren't bothered by the market dropping like a stone.  that might well be due to the amount of their hard earned money at risk from trump's policies.  Perhaps they feel they're owning the libs in this way.  but the wealth divide isn't shrinking significantly.  everyone is getting poorer or at least, less wealthy.  One of the attendees last nite has recently been approached about running for office.  he never considered it before but is now.  2 years from now might be a really good time to run for congress.

MEAT on the table? I thought we needed to switch to other forms of protein to save the planet from Muh Climate Change!

 

Suddenly libs no longer care about 'Climate Change' (Meat! gas guzzlers! vandalizing Teslas!). Nor women ('dudes on the lacrosse team are only a problem if you get hit by one and end up a little paralyzed, oh well!').

 

Now it's about ECONOMICS! You know, that topic Kamala didn't talk about except mentioning she came from a "middle class family" and wanted to provide the vaguest of "opportunities."

 

Well welcome to the party then, who's your Economics Expert for 2028?

what party.?  the party of the economically disenfranchised?  you're saying that misery loves company?  liberals still care deeply about climate change and women.  We just now care much less about sleazy, stupid maga's and their problems.  So we'll learn and play the new rules and win just like we did with the old rules.  and maga's will still be losers.

 

And most of the best business schools and economics departments are teaming with liberals.  plenty to choose from.

I always enjoy a good spelling/grammar reply. Kudos to you for joining my team (at least on this issue). We'll soon be teeming with grammarians.
