It’s all so his billionaire buddies can buy stock at a fire sale price and they can make more money when the price of stock goes back up

That my friend is the master plan. Shaft the majority.

The greed of those folks is something else indeed. There’s going to be run on funerals after people can’t afford medicine or food. It’s SO sad 😑

Can they quantify how much better they feel with a few million dollars more in an off-shore account? They leave as they arrived- empty. GREED is foul.

Actually, Linda you are only partly right. For example, by discontinuing funeral homes from reporting deaths to Social Security, survivors must now report deaths themselves to the SS office. Often times, many survivors will not report deaths timely. Now Trump can say “Fraud,” even though he stopped a method to prevent fraud. Now he can say, “See I told you Government couldn’t do it right. He then privatized SS. Which permits his family/buddies into the multiple- trillion dollar trust fund - to gut.

😾You are right: “The old adage, “ Buy when the blood is running in the streets. (That phrase started, I believe, when men were jumping out of high rise windows as stock were crashing in 1929.)

Except that there’s an assumption that what comes down must go up. Many countries are now making trade deals with other countries outside the US - and declaring that the US is no longer a reliable trading partner because, even if it improves in another presidency, it can totally stab them in the back again 4 years later when a new president is elected. (And no, that’s not a good reason to establish a monarchy; it’s a good reason to make our laws ensure nothing like this happens again.)

During a (planned) depression they can buy just about anything of value and vital importance and reduce the US citizens to serfdom!

Let's stop the bullshit.

Donald Trump is very, very afraid of Putin.

Trump couldn't take down America by himself. He's comically stupid.

Putin is arch-villain level evil. Perhaps he's threatened murder. Whatever, there is something so dangerous to Trump in their “kompact” that Trump is willing to destroy America and the world to avoid it.1

Please stop acting like this isn't Putin. Trump is the mark. MAGA is the grease to the machine. Putin knows that a united America is an invincible America. Unfortunately, he exploited our fears, our “generational traumas” that ought to have been erased long ago were it not for that stubborn, cancerous underbelly that has always snatched America from its potential.

Racism.

Exactly. Putin baled Trump out years ago when he still resides in the Trump Tower and he had a bank loan that was going to be called on to be paid. Putin lent him the money and then Putin assisted Trump with winning the office. Putin has always said he would take America from within and Trump became his Puppet. Putin is all over this. He needs the collapse of America in order to buy it up cheap. Trumps high and ridiculous tariffs are just a means to try and bully other countries. It’s the only “art of a deal” that he knows. It has worked for him in the past and he is simply doing it on a larger scale this time without the wisdom to understand fully the repercussions of his decisions. He is not a serious man and Putin will have him for lunch and he knows it.

When you owe money in Russian mafia you owe favors along the way until the loan is paid.

Putin’s agent is Stephen Miller. He’s the one promoting all these things, including racism. He’s the “brains” behind all of Trump’s initiatives.

He wants us in disarray so he can declare some emergency and bring in the military. He wants billionaires to be able to buy stocks at low prices and make money that way. As the recession hits and inflation rises people will lose jobs and their homes and farms and large corporations and billionaires will buy the houses and the farms.

Just visited the Holocaust Museum in Amsterdam a couple of days ago and came to the exact same conclusion. See the steps taken then and now the almost exact same playbook is rolling out right before our eyes. (Similar event all over Europe too!). Let’s stop this before it’s too late!

There are people in those 200 trading partner countries that are promising themselves they will not buy products made in America for the rest of their lives.

You should think about that math question because there are going to be more and more people making that vow for life every day.

Dear Americans, I suggest you follow the great presidential tradition in your country, which has been applied to A.Lincon and J.F.K. and shoot that orange moron.

That is what the 2nd amendment to your constitution was made for.

A kakistocracy (/ˌkækɪˈstɒkrəsi/ KAK-ist-OK-rə-see) is a government run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens.: 54  The word was coined as early as the 17th century, and is derived from two Greek words, kákistos (κάκιστος, 'worst') and krátos (κράτος, 'rule'), with a literal meaning of 'government by the worst people'.
