(Forbes) Trump Shares Claim He’s Crashing Stock Market ‘On Purpose’ As He Lobbies For Emergency Rate Cuts

[Chomsky]

Just remember this is the stable genius who told us magnets don't work underwater and it all makes sense.

That the world's economic health is in the hands of this single individual, is a sick tragedy.

 

[Chomsky]

I checked "other'.
I am afraid of widespread chaos and economic mayhem.
The U.S. has only 4.34% of the worlds population. What kind of economy can the U.S. have if the rest of the world seeks more dependable trading partners? China, Japan and Korea will band together to counter the U.S. That is about 20% of the world's population.
Is Fortress America an economically viable plan?

I suspect it's possible you thought you're posting in the "Tariff Poll Thread" Cassandra, but we're happy to have you here!

The more we learn about the “liberation day” debacle, the more you realize what absolute clowns these people are.

The calculations are a lie, they tariffed an uninhabited island…

Lying and being generally an idiot might work well with around 30% of Americans, but nations are not going to forget this bullshit.

This is the first time in modern American history an administration has intentionally, knowingly, deliberately done something to hurt the market and the economy and to add insult to injury, did an entire dog and pony show WHILE doing it and then patted themselves on the back.

Trump and every single person who still follows him are a joke.

and how the United States is finally on the path to greatness.

 

[RaleBulgarian]

I don't have a TS account, nor do I want one. But, it would be interesting to see the TS denizens' response to Trump's post.

I do have a TS account. Trust me when I say his cultists are responding exactly as you would expect.

All because a sociopathic conman managed to sway much of the gullible rank & file of one of the political parties.

They also tariffed St Pierre and Miquelon which aren't even a country.

St Pierre and Miquelon are part of France.

For some reason their tariff is 50%, 30% higher than the rest of France.

I believe they committed the grave crime of shipping fish to the US.

I'm at a loss to understand what Trump is telling us, here. In fact, I find his actions bizarre.

If you can figure it out, please enlighten me - below!

The problem with the theory in video is that Trump doesn't give a shit about the national debt. He's a big spender even by liberal democrat standards.

 

[gman]

This whole scenario is beyond bizarre and is taking everyone on this planet to absolute uncharted territory. The consequences of failure are frightening. At first with the tariffs I wasn’t very concerned because I felt that whatever economic impact would right itself. Now I’m definitely concerned almost to the point of being scared.

I find Trump's reposting of this to be bizarre.

 

[ElChupacabra]

Yes, and no. What we're likely going to see are changes that prevent this kind of scenario in the future, so the markets aren't overly dependent on the actions of one nation's leader.

So, I take it the video Trump posted isn't providing calm?

Good look bringing MAGA & the GOP onboard to make it happen!

So Trump is intentionally waging economic war against the United States. I consider it an act of treason.

At least. It truly is a cult environment. Traitor Trump is their messiah.

An act of treason among MANY others.

Kinda reminds me of the third James Bond movie, Goldfinger, where the criminal mastermind attempts to nuke the Ft. Knox gold vault so he can corner and control the gold market.

 

[Revelation]

um yes, quite Bizarre friends...however this is quite charted by those in charge of Dark Maga, and they did give us some info on what to expect, remember ?

The consequences of failure are frightening.

could be, the fed played the same kinds of games with us in 1929 according to Bernanke. do i need to dig up that document or not?

At first with the tariffs I wasn’t very concerned because I felt that whatever economic impact would right itself. Now I’m definitely concerned almost to the point of being scared.

no the Orange Monarch and thousands of Oligarchs have this all planned out, not to your liking as Trillions are being lost on Wall Street this week. Warren Buffet got out early, did anyone pay attention to that?

well maybe not.


back to Orange 101, Dark Maga musk we go: https://news.google.com/search?for=technate+of+america&hl=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US:en

The 1930 Smoot-Hawley tariffs effected a trade war that was a factor in initiating the Great Depression.

The Great Depression, in turn, enabled the rise to power of Hitler and the Nazis.

So, yeah, trump's initiating another global trade war is extremely concerning.

[Revelation]

true, it prolonged the depression and so did the fed drying up credit within their system.

basically the Depression was created in 29 and not some 'we didn't know' kind of thing.

FDR says if it happens in politics: 'we planned it that way'.

The Great Depression, in turn, enabled the rise to power of Hitler and the Nazis.

i usually ask students where did Hitler get the money ?

actually Western banks financed him, Hitler was a western creation for a post WW2 world

So, yeah, trump's initiating another global trade war is extremely concerning.

true. it is not hard to see what is happening economically and in the investing world this week...amplify this by months or whatever, the effects could get interesting.

hopefully you got your cash out of Wall Street, Buffet did and nobody paid attention to him....

they are now !

Trump Shares Video About How He Is 'Purposely Crashing the Stock Market'

Donald Trump shared a video claiming he was intentionally crashing the stock market, prompting confusion from his supporters.

www.rollingstone.com

Financial markets are taking a nosedive for the second straight day amid global panic and investor anxiety over Donald Trump’s implementation of broad tariffs on foreign imports. Economists are warning that the president’s actions are putting not just the United States, but the world at risk of a global recession, and that working class Americans will experience acute economic pain. Fret not, says the president, he is apparently playing chess while the world is playing checkers — whatever that means. Even some of his most prominent GOP supporters aren’t buying it.

On Friday morning, the president shared a link on Truth Social to what appears to be a partially AI-generated video claiming that he was “Purposely CRASHING The Market.”

The one-minute video — originally shared March 15 on TikTok — predates the president’s tariff announcement on Wednesday. It claims that “Trump is crashing the stock market by 20 percent this month, but he’s doing it on purpose. […] Here’s the secret game he’s playing, and it could make you rich.”

The video proposes that Trump is attempting to “push cash into treasuries, which forces the Fed to slash interest rates in May, and those lower rates give the Fed the ability to refinance trillions of debt very inexpensively. It also weakens the dollar and drops mortgage rates. Now it’s a wild chess move, but it’s working.”

“What about his tariffs? I’ll tell you, it’s a genius play,” the video adds. “It actually forces companies to build here to dodge them. It also forces farmers to sell more of their products here in the U.S., to bring grocery prices way down. We’ve already seen this with eggs. Now, remember, 94 percent of all stocks are owned only by 8 percent of Americans. So Trump, he’s taking from the rich short term and handing it to the middle class through lower prices.”

Sound dodgy and completely made up? Don’t stress, the video makes sure to point out that super rich guy Warren Buffet “just said [that] Trump is making the best economic moves he’s seen in over 50 years.” Only Warren Buffet never said that. He actually called Trump’s proposed tariff regime an “act of war.”...

Trump's take on this "I control the world".

 

[Chomsky]

At least. It truly is a cult environment. Traitor Trump is their messiah.

They think he's a genius, alright:

Help me understand how it works- a user could see the Papabear post on TS and click it to see that video on X?

It makes a difference if Papabear is continuing as a member, the post is free speech but that doesn't mean a single word is true lol! Which is ironic that it's called truth but the post is as delusional as our president.

Do I understand how it works? Did Papabear make that video?
