So he thinks that Trump can refinance the National Debt?
I thought we had this discussion 9 years ago.

I think so, and it’s worth the risk. If he’s successful, Democrats & non MAGA conservatives won’t win an election for the next 3-5 cycles.

To be honest, this graph on its own is not a great endorsement for the Trump administration's economic plan. It looks like he inherited an economic slowdown then recovery that Weekend at Biden's ate for him during his tenure between the two Trump terms. Perhaps Trump could have done nothing and left the White House in 2029 with everyone thinking he was a modestly good President on the economy albeit a bit of a social issue lightning rod. If he doesn't thread a needle on this strategy, he's going to leave office in 2029 like Hoover in 1933.

It dropped what? 1.5% from mid february to tuesday?
I wouldn’t call that a downward spiral
Lol. What math are you using?
The Dow was at 44,700 on Feb. 13.
Dropped to 42, 200 (>5%) by April 2.
Today's close, April 4 is 38, 314. (10% in 2 days)

It’s also wrong. DJIA closed at 38314 today.

Yep, I wasn't even going to address that because it was covered. The chart really suggests Trump could have done nothing drastic...targeted tariffs that benefit our strategic interests...give everyone a tax cut...coast to a solid middle tier rating as a President solely off economic stability.
If his team's plan doesn't pan out, this is one of the all-time unforced errors by a US President if not world leader period in quite some time.

How come I rarely read a post on this board from someone that sounds remotely literate in finance, economics, or investments? Is the average age 20? Is the average poster just poor?
All financial news that doesn’t fit a specific narrative is fake. All government data we don’t like is fake. The stock market is fake. The stock market is the economy until it has nothing to with the economy depending on the day and who is president.

The chart shows the close of normal trading on Wednesday. It suggests that no one should be worried 2 days ago.
Wow, what a fail.

The overall theme of the tweet is exactly what they said they would do 6 months ago.
But it makes me cringe every time some dumb frick on the internet or cable TV equates the stock market with the economy.
Same as the libtards who equate the bureaucracy with democracy.

First, it’s his plan. His sycophants are too scared to tell him to rethink things
Second, what the hell does “panning out” even mean? The entire globe could go tariff free and we’ll STILL run enormous trade deficits with some countries. Who trusts us right now? EU? Canada? Japan? Hell, Japan, South Korea, and fricking China are negotiating amongst themselves to punish the US.
There’s one big flaw in Trump’s real estate, frick you, zero sum bargaining game…it doesn’t consider long term relationships and it sure as hell doesn’t take into account the LASTING damage which occurs when people call your shitty bluff. China isn’t negotiating, they called his bluff and won’t budge. Will Trump blink or are we, Americans, going to be paying out the arse for everyday products?

You still don't get the point of my graph. Where was the outrage from the media, Democrats, etc when the market tanked all throughout 22-24?

Following the chaos of 2020, the Biden years will be looked at as a golden age. I get that during a period of hyper affluence certain people felt left behind, but the economic bar was raised significantly.
I guess a lot of those people who felt like the class below them caught up are hoping Trump will put the poor back in their place. The thing is everything that is happening now is gonna put the middle class back down in their place.

Imo, the stock market is a lot of money based on 10% of a company's value. Better than trading crypto on a girl who spits vs swallow. Not sure how much better. And I have made money on it.

are you saying that AI is wrong?

Estimates from early 2025 suggest that around $7 trillion to $10 trillion in federal debt could come due this year. This range reflects maturing short-term securities—like Treasury bills, which make up a sizable chunk of the debt—and the need to roll them over into new debt at current interest rates. For context, posts on X from early 2025 mention figures like $7.6 trillion in maturing debt, while others estimate up to $10 trillion when factoring in deficit financing.
