Just listen to this
He would be power fisting right now if the stock market was going up


But since all the havoc he's creating is causing it to tank he's flipping the script to say that what's going on in the markets is bringing interest rates down and touting what a good thing that is.

I just had some convo with another member of SI [redhat] who repeated the very same to me telling me that he's causing a recession to bring down rates and that its a good thing, and that it wont have much affect on J6p, yada, yada, yada...

Are we to understand that POTUS Trump is just winging it and actually has no plans to make the markets rise?


Oh, he has plans alright. Doge is gonna save us billions and billions of dollars ---- lets hope so, because in the span of ~3 weeks they've managed to prune ~ 8 trillion $$$ off the market

...and he established a cryptocurrency reserve (whatever the hell that is, I certainly dont know or understand it).

Have you followed the Melania Meme Coin?

She launched her own crypto coin on January 19, 2025. The following day it reached a high of ~$13.70 and today, in less than 2 months, it has sunk to a low of .69 cents.

$1000 invested in her coin at the high less than 2 months ago would be worth ~50.37 today

He stated his plan plainly --- to win so much we get tired of winning

RIDDLE ME THIS

If 70% of U.S. GDP hinges on consumer spending, how do you see the US economy growing when the deck’s stacked like this? --->

Total U.S. consumer debt hit a record $18.036 trillion in Q4 2024—mortgages, credit cards, auto loans, student loans, you name it—per the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s Household Debt and Credit Report (November 12, 2024). Meanwhile, tariffs on foreign goods are poised to jack up prices. This helter-skelter tarrif nonsense breeds uncertainty for corporations, small businesses (~45% of the economy), and consumers alike.

Now toss in a wild-card billionaire—chainsaw in one hand, ketamine in his system—slashing hundreds of thousands of jobs and leaving federal workers and millions of Americans wondering what’s next. The same guy tasked with “saving” the economy calls Social Security “the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time,” hinting he’s itching to gut it. Consider this: the 65-and-older crowd drives 22% of consumer spending; drop that to age 50, and it’s near 50%. Think they’ll spend freely with their safety net under attack?

Small businesses and big corporations will likely clamp down on spending, too. Senior citizens, who’ve relied on Social Security’s uninterrupted 85-year run, now face fear and doubt as it’s branded a scam. Confidence? Shattered.

Then there’s the stock market—over 60% of Americans own stocks, directly or through funds like mutuals. With the market tanking, will that spark wallet-opening optimism? Hardly. The U.S. dollar’s slipping, gold’s soared $900 since the election, and the market’s flashing red. None of this screams “growth” to me.

(Composed this for my trump supporting friends)
