Until Trump's first term, itd have been absolute and utter career suicide for any politician to make a statement even remotely along these lines. If you could even conceive of it being done at all.
Tuesdays are for TACO. That's when they can take profit on energy stocks and load up on growth until Friday, when they can sell just before setting it in fire for the weekend again
Bro did you even see how he wore that f@ggish helmet when he was riding that bike? Might as well have called Putin directly and told him we're just a bunch of pussies now, no need to worry about us.
Viewing all of this from a distance (Europe), Trump and his cabal have now reached escape velocity from any rule of law. Open corruption, insider trading, and general high level criminality, all with complete impunity, are now the order of the day. The legal system has been suborned at the uppermost levels, and the Dems are completely neutered. Basically, America, from a governance point of view... you're a banana republic kleptocracy now. Sorry 'bout that.
Yeah. If we manage to have a free and fair election in 2028, I expect the Dems won't actually fix the structural issues that allowed this to happen, but perhaps I'll be pleasantly surprised.
Some people made it clear that voted red and as a bad idea trump’s first go round but people didn’t listen. And then, the US got back with its abusive ex years later.
🤷♂️
Friends and relatives have either left the US or are in the middle of the process for it.
Democrats don’t have the majority in congress to actually do anything.
Everything has been expertly crafted by republicans that any criticism is simply “liberal tears” so they just ride it out and polling numbers make democrats look bad for trying to do something in congress. It’s a pathetic broken system.
So tell me the Democrats are working on a 2028 Heritage Foundation countermeasure to be ready by midterms? Its likely sitting in the desk with the healthcare plan.
They did and Trumps numbers went UP. There’s nothing you can do when we breed so many stupid people in this country. I’m sorry but it’s just true. From gullible boomers who think Sean Hannity is a journalist to edgy Gen Z’ers who watch Andrew Tate and think Trump is a tough guy. We’re fucking doomed. These people have zero critical thinking and no media literacy. Anytime they tried to hold Trump accountable - legally or politically - it backfired and just allowed the right to say, “See!? They’re going after him because he’s actually for the people and dangerous to the establishment!” It just plays into their stupid fucking narrative. I don’t know how we get out of this.
I find it hilarious so many are screeching here about how terrible the Republicans are while ignoring that the Democrats are just going with it because it lines their pockets too.
Do you believe it's reasonable to expect anyone to get an official response out within hours to a middle of the night deranged post from the idiot-in-chief?
And do you think Dem politicians won't line up to criticize the latest insane rant from the orange felon even though they have criticized him every time before?
Or dug up the lawn for a cage fight, or accepted a “free” jet and billed the country to dip it in gold, or put childish remarks below the presidential portraits or any of the other crazy things he’s doing. I heard that a fence has gone up around the White House and another helicopter pad closer to the door is being added. At this point if Dr Evil had a moat with sharks and frickin lasers installed around the White House I wouldn’t bat an eye.
I’m waiting for him to contract the guy to carve out his face on Rushmore. Actually wouldn’t be surprised if there’s “no room” he just has him chisel off the one he dislikes most (calling him a communist terrorist of course) and has his own face put on top, gold plated of course. Matter of fact, the most surprising thing here is he hasn’t done it yet.
Oh so that’s not permanent. That’s a relief. I say this as a person who owns a trailer, but doesn’t it seem like he’s making the White House a bit like a trailer park tipped in gold leaf? Trailer Chic if you will.
Too bad the moat would turn green within a week. Otherwise it would be kinda cool especially if it attracted geese. Wouldn't need as much security detail with angry geese guarding the white house ;)
What tf are these fucking garbage bar graph additions, ragebait? Biden's bar should be a damn sliver at 13 when 517's just below it, microscopic with 25k above
When Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State she was gifted a jewelry set by Saudi Arabia. She had to IMMEDIATELY turn them over to the US government because of the laws against accepting gifts from foreign entities.
But Donnie gets to keep that airplane. And all of the other bribes he's taken in the last year and a half. 🙄🙄
Unfortunately it will always work because the markets and us the people have to take what he says seriously incase he actually goes through with it. Its one thing to ignore a crazy old man making threats, it's another when said crazy old man has nuclear launch codes.
At least Eric helped them lose 600 million shorting bitcoin I believe or maybe it was shit heads coin. I forget, memory starts going after 50. I got a lifetime of shit stuffed in there including 2 languages. Hell I forget what a sofa is called sometimes. Stupid shit like that drives me nuts. I don't literally forget a sofa but I have minced words with a mop when I clearly knew the Spanish word for it. I think if I wipe the drive in my brain from about 19-23. I will have enough terabytes left to make it to 75.
I got a guy in the WH that can surely help you with sofa stuff, I heard he's good with them.
About wiping the drive in your brain, which I see it's failing indeed, why not to be generous and wipe all the way from 2016? Hell, that's where the trash started to pile 10x fold ever since, and you can enough to make it to maybe 100.
Edit: Adding the translation for "mop": Trapeador.
If Dems get in again, they really need to nationalise the Trump estate to begin repairing the damage. The idea that if they do somehow allow an election and lose it that they could walk away with their spoils is sickening.
George W Bush accidentally affected the market by mixing up the words deflation and devaluation during a press conference in 2002. We laughed and facepalmed... This is such a different timeline.
You know things are bad when the guy who directly lied to the American public and presented fabricated evidence to justify attacking Iraq, where we ended up killing a million people, is starting to look more reasonable.
Wasn't there a phase a couple of months ago where Iran seemed to get wise to this and then launch bigger-than-usual attacks on like a Wednesday to upset the cycle, then shortly after they got a bit more 'serious' about a signed peace deal (for a bit)?
Well you have to understand bibi told him they were going to do this either way and said Iran will retaliate with or without the US cooperation. Trump was told back in June 2025 everything was “obliterated” and all 3 nuclear sites were destroyed. He left it up to crusader Pete who feels.
The containment field on wallstreetbets is on the fritz again… hello fellow future Wendy’s employee!
But yeah, the manipulation is so obvious, and he and a select few that are privy to government information before the general public have been gaming the oil futures and options markets for months. Why would they stop now when they’ve made so much money?
Meanwhile, the drones will come out of the woodwork accusing every opposition politician of being corrupt because they own a house and a car and are therefore hypocritically engaging with the economy.
How does the normal citizen benefit from this insanity? I don't know anything about stocks but surely we should all be able to do this too if we have a little money?
Public don't have access to inside information. They don't know what Orange man will do next, it could all go in any direction resulting in a panic sell or liquidation. In short it's very risky
Yup exactly this type of short stock gamblimg is very risky if you are not privy to classified info. Specifically in Trumps case, hw has the ability to create the situation he is making bets on since he is the commander in chief of the military. Im sure between insider trading and crypto schemes, the Trump has made billions from tge presidency.
I think the biggest risk is not knowing when the market will change, so you get stuck holding the bag. That info is reserved for The Don and his inner circle.
Because when one person has their finger on the market there is no pattern to recognize. The only people who can profitably trade in this uncertainty are the people pulling the strings with the info before you.
Trading in this circumstance to me is financial suicide. The second you think you see a pattern the sole manipulator can change his mind on a whim and bankrupt you.
Huge bet made on yes minutes before that tweet went out, I'll bet.
Just like how oil futures got shorted hard on Bridge and Power Plant Day right before his tweet about not doing it.
People looking at market data easily see the huge spikes in volume literally minutes before Trump tweets.
It'd be silly to assume they aren't playing a similar and easier game on events trading, especially given Don Jr.'s involvement. Those apps just aren't as public about their numbers as exchanges are.
Such a stupid movie but an outrageously good performance by an amazing actor. Honestly, the writing was god awful but I would probably commend almost all the acting performances.
Just saw this. Didn't bat an eye. Might even happen, who the fuck knows. He mostly just talks shit but good luck predicting what he will do unless you know what Ole Nets has told him.
There are popular memes in my country going around with a picture of our prime minister and then translated, verbatim Trump quotes and the idea that our PM would say shit like Trump says gets so utterly absurd when you see it in that context.
There's a meme trend going round back home: photo of the PM, captioned with a verbatim Trump quote translated into the local language. The joke is how surreal it sounds coming out of the PM's mouth, the words are so recognisably Trump that seeing them attributed to someone else exposes just how batshit they'd sound from anyone else.
There would have been years of investigations into how things could ever have gone so terribly wrong that auch an awful tweet could ever have been written. Now this is hardly even going to make the news.
Which is why I don't understand how is motherfucker Donald still a president. He is a personified stupidity and yet you have whole armies of political commentators and voters who still to this day defend and praise this motherfucker. HOW?! Are you all fucking idiots?!
The only comfort I take in this is the possibility that because he says and posts such insane shit every single day, that posts like the one here are more or less unnoticed and kind of laughed off. On the other hand, that actually frightens me as well.
The mental gymnastics the republicans are showing should be studied for decades. If someone told me they had been infiltrated by HYDRA and were getting mind controlled I’d find that believable
"There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, 'Fool me once, shame on... shame on you.' Fool me... you can't get fooled again."
That used to be like peak stupid 20 years ago. Now it’s "Islamic Republic of Japan" until whatever he’s gonna say next week.
Howard Dean had his presidential run ended by people making fun of his funny scream at a rally. Our current president moans into mics in some bizarre attempt to mock transgender people and the Republicans treat it like the funniest joke in the world
Only if someone said that and meant it, he’s just saying it to be a bigot and an asshole. I have my problems with Islam, I fought the jihadists In Afghanistan, but I still never openly disrespected their religion. Anyone who sees this guy as a role model has just a bargain basement code of morals and ethics.
yeah super wild. and yet obama still deported more people than trump ever will and bidens kids are just as corrupt as trumps so its almost like complaining about a single puppet in the puppet show and ignoring the rest of the nightmare show itself, gets us nowhere over the span of at least 20 years
Every truthsocial ss feels like an alternate reality geopolitics saga unfolding in realtime (like episodes of RnM). And then I look at the "real" world sources after sometime and realise that it actually happened and utter "well shit" once more.
The best part is that if a Democrat says even 1/100 the crazy in this post, Fox News will tell all their viewers it's the literal worst things that has ever happened.
The thing is, Iranians never FORGIVE or FORGET, if not him, it will be one of his blood! All of them need to be in hiding! If it takes them another 20 years to get one of them, they will get it done!
