the House, with the exception of 3 republicans and all of the democrats, voted to support Trump's tariffs.
so in fact, the GOP is not for free markets. I guess toss that on the bone pile with "law and order" and "family values" of things the GOP has abandoned as core principals. |
Well. You can’t accuse MAGA of having two brain cells to rub together. Imagine being so intellectually dishonest. |
Can you point me to all the new factories that moved to the US over the last 3 days? Can't seem to find them. |
Well you see here the markets just crashed but then they un-crashed so...ART OF THE DEAL BABY! WE ARE SO WINNING! I AM NOT SURE WHAT WE ARE WINNING BUT IT IS SOMETHING. |
Sure, the market is reacting to Trump chickening out and not implementing his plan. That’s a win for Trump? |
They are so dumb. I don't even feel bad for Trump stealing their money anymore. |
It's hard to believe that these are real people categorizing this as "winning." Sometimes I think this whole movement is just a social experiment that got totally out of hand. |
Seriously....it's an entirely new level of stupid with MAGAS |
Looks like you didn't get the memo from the mothership yet. Quoting Trump himself: Mr. Trump himself acknowledged that his decision was made in response to the market turmoil, telling reporters Wednesday afternoon that “you have to be flexible,” and that “over the last few days it looked pretty glum.” Also this: President Trump said, “Nothing is over yet, but we have a tremendous amount of spirit from other countries.” He added that there are “many more than 75” countries seeking deals. Trump also acknowledged that he had been watching the bond market prior to his decision to pause tariffs, describing it as both “very tricky” yet “queasy.” https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04/08/business/trump-tariffs-stock-market Could he have been watching this? And his advisors recalling what happened to a certain Liz Truss? https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/business/economy/bonds-tariffs-safe-haven.html |
DP. Only 67% of the work force has access to a 401k and 56% participate. So people with 401k are 37ish% of the workforce. Those who do participate a median average: Under 35: Around $30,000 35-44: Around $91,281 45-54: Around $168,646 55-64: Around $244,750 65 and older: Around $272,588 You can do the math. Under 35 a 10% change in the market is 3k but they would have to check their account to see it. Most people don’t. Now as you get close to retirement age or are in retirement you pay attention. Also most 401k under preform the S&P 500 by 1/2. Last 20 years average 401k return was 5-8% S&P returned 10.3% without adjusting for inflation. Finally there is a big difference between average 401k vs median- ie 401k really benefits high income individuals. |
The whole 90-day timeline for everything as of its some long term strategy is short sighted and really pisses me off. |
Could Trump be charged with stock market manipulation -- if the SEC was actually independently looking at his actions?

Down 7% for the year. Yipes! |
