Stock Market Losses Under Trump

[HuntersLaptop2028]

Ugh.. brain dead tweets on its own is one thing. But now we have higher inflation, consumer confidence and spending down, lower GDP growth forecasts, and a stock market giving back all its gains 

But Mexican people are getting deported so it’s all good right guys

🤣🤣🤣

More false claims but we understand.

An article from that well known conservative news source Fox News had an article in May 2024 showing that Biden lied when he claimed inflation was at 9% when he took office.

In fact the change in prices in the year leading up to Biden’s inauguration was 1.4%. It rose to just over 9% 16 months after he took office.

 His claim was completely false.

WAIT, I am so sorry, I made a mistake. It wasn’t Fox News, it was CNN that well known  ultra liberal news outlet

Who could have ever predicted that more tax cuts for the rich, combined with a haphazard tariff plan would lead to economic instability and a duplication of the disaster the last time Trump held the reins? 
 

Me.  I predicted it.

Didn’t you also predict that Trump would get beaten badly?

 I think you used the phrase “get his cheeks clapped”.

You ain’t been right yet, snowflake.

What tax cuts for the rich are you speaking of specifically?

With the current tax code (6,871 pages) it doesn't matter if you set the tax rate at 10% or 90%...........they will pay $0 in taxes. Stop griping about tax rates and start asking for the tax code to be done away with. Taxes could be really simple across the board from Musk and Bezos all the way down to me. Doesn't really matter what the rates are set at if the wealthy have all the write offs. 

BUT, none of them will attempt to change the tax code when all of their big money donors (on both sides of the aisle) want it and use the hell out of it

It used to be bud money donors. Now you have the richest man on earth (who pays ZERO federal income taxes) firing government workers… not closing the loopholes that he and the Orange Man proudly exploit. 
 

America elected a turd, and they’re about to get their reward for doing so.

The stock market declined almost all of 2022. Why wern't you whining and crying about it then?

NO! He is firing people who are STEALING from the American taxpayers. They were never there to "work", just to steal.

Thats it. Trump was being blamed even before he took office, and before he even had a Cabinet in place. 

Trump is being smart, playing the long game. He know the haters will hate him regardless, but in year 2-3-4 the changes he and EM makes will pay off. Biden and the Dims had the USA driving over a cliff, Trump is putting on the brakes and turning the thing around.

Didn't he say that on day 1 he would bring down grocery prices, and he also said he could end the Ukraine-Russia War in one day. He set the time restraints, not the American people

Trump Warns of ‘Transition Period’ for Economy as Tariffs Begin to Take Effect.

The President said his tariff strategy is focused on the future, not on short-term fluctuations in the stock market.

The vast majority of these folks have been hired to do a job. The question is whether or not the jobs are necessary, and in many cases they are not. Whether it be surplus park rangers or people working in DEI positions, they're not stealing from tax payers. They're just working. The only way they're stealing from the taxpayers is if they're getting paid for work they aren't doing. That said, I'm all for DOGE eliminating unnecessary positions. If 22 park rangers are doing work that should be done by 15 park rangers, cut 7 positions. If there's a whole office of folks being paid by the government to implement discriminatory DEI initiatives, cut the whole office!

I get your deep hatred for Trump and still trying to convince everyone you're a conservative but this is not a left/right issue. Many of the people taking advantage of the tax code are huge democrat donors as well (George Soros comes to mind). If Hillary and Biden were losing so much sleep over this tax issue why haven't they done anything about it in their 30 and 50 years in political office? You want to know why? Because they love the same provisions that Trump and Musk use. But they have convinced people it is only big, bad, mean Trump.

What people need to realize is the tax code is the problem. These ultra rich guys built the system and live within the system they built. As much as you want to blame Trump it is a whole cabal of folks from both sides. 

I can promise you this, if you had the money they had and the ability to do so, you would do the exact same thing the ultra wealthy do. It is funny you only blame Trump and Musk because of you hatred but aren't upset that Bezos, Buffett, Soros and thousands others do the exact same thing.

Or, the job is done and they are still sucking on the government teet do absolutely nothing.

I'm sure there are instances of this. But most folks are just doing a job.

It's hard to believe that Trump has managed to brainwash you all into villifying government workers. If you lost your job due to Trump's rhetoric, you would be devastated.

@CardinalBacker - THIS - Trump actually confronted Hillary on this subject during one of the debates they had......and if I recall, she had no answer......
