Trump says he's not even looking at stock market, tariffs will make U.S. 'very strong'

Yeah, but Obama was presidenting while Blah. Since little d is a DEI hire, it doesn't count.

Well, that's something we can influence if we stopped buying new shit.

No no - part of the reason he’s crashing the market is because he’s pretty much definitely telling his portfolio people to short EVERYTHING right now and then buy at the bottom.

He's lying.

Because he can't see past correlation to causation.

... Not that any sane person actually expected better, of course.

But the fact he's caving on auto manufacturing tariffs means he is correctable. A good, if meager signal. Although, I can't imagine how many showers I'd need to feel ok about whatever I had to say to or do to sway him.

On second thought, fuck those corpos too. They're not doing it for the right reasons either. If it happens to protect a few jobs in the short term, then good, I suppose. But I don't for a second expect there won't also be layoffs to further pad executive bonuses in the name of "shareholder value".
