"If the 4.8% fall in S&P 500 futures at the Asian opening isn't reversed, then it's on course for its worst three-day selloff since the Black Monday crash of October 1987."
All he has succeeded in doing is violently ripping the US away from its place at the center of the global hegemony.
Which is not great for those of us in the US, but honestly had to happen, the rest of the world clearly cannot depend on us. Our entire political system is built on honor systems and pinky promises, the rich can do whatever they please and never see accountability.
100% this
I am actually thankful we let this idiot ruin this country. Fuck this country
Yeah, as a Canadian, this had to happen. Kamala winning would have just delayed this. The trajectory’s been this direction since Reagan or earlier so hitting “rock bottom” was more important. The delicious irony is that while Trump thinks he’s building a stronger, more independent America, he’s actually just making a stronger, more resilient global trade market and isolating his own country from ever being welcomed to participate in it.
The world wasn’t taking advantage of the US. The world made the US what it is by being its global market.
Not anymore. Sell your locally-made garbage to yourselves and watch as the world turns you into Russia 2.
I'm a bit worried about all those warplanes, warships and nuclear tipped ICBMs
I remember watching a Noam Chomsky talk where he said replacing USD as the global reserve currency could be a good thing for ordinary Americans, long-term.
I don’t think he had anything like this in mind for how to do it though.
I’m gonna ChomskyHonk my self and look for this vid
Putin smiles. His orange puppet is doing his bidding well.
Putin. Its always Putin, using Skum and HitlerPig as his muscle.
When will people truly internalize that the two biggest foreign Sociopathic Oligarchs, have partnered up with the most prolific traitor in American history? None of them have any loyalty or patriotism toward America, and only see us as a big, rich, fat, lazy target to be ruthlessly exploited and looted, and it's happening in real time before our eyes.
Actually this is hitting Russian markets too. And Putin is apparently not happy about this talk of annexing Greenland either.
Causing chaos makes him feel important.
What a piece of shit.
Everybody's talking about him. To him, that's the whole point of life!
Do you love Trump more than your 401k, Your savings and country? We all know the answer already. But it is up to Trump cultists to come to it themselves. If this was Biden doing this, they would have gotten him impeached and removed from office. This man has no economists or data backing up his choices. I believe that report of him feeding that shit through ChatGPT.
Its as if Putin himself is speaking
Trump is that kid on beach who watches you build a big, beautiful sand sculpture and then cannonballs right into it just as you’re about to finish. Then laughs.
He's probably doing it as revenge for losing to Biden. Burning it all down cause Americans where to stupid and voted for him.
JFC the Joker is less chaotic than the Orange Jackass.
bet he sad the same to stormy.
Trump The Mad King should be his title
The Would-be
I didn't vote for him, and you're not a king until you both say you are and no one kills you for it.
Everybody knows by now that this buffoon always says the opposite of his true feelings, right?
"Luxurious" --> cheap crap "Beautiful" --> tacky/hideous/etc "Amazing" --> I just learned about this thing that everyone else has known for decades.
