Trump didn’t tell them to pull their money out.

A lot of this seems like manipulation. Remember the media was opposite trying to calm the nerves on Bidenomics.

17 Economists signed off on it!

For years the progressive Left wanted to stick it to rich people with dumb sayings such as "Eat the Rich" and "Pay their fair share." Ironically Trump via tariffs hits the majority of well off people in the pocket book short term and the progressive left is now shrieking about the stock market? It shows me it was never about any of that shite, it was always about one thing...power.


For anyone with a 401k, and 10+ years from retirement, this is a good thing.

Buy deflated, sell inflated.

Cheer taxing the rich, but not when Trump does it.



The stock market crash isn’t a tax, it’s just an unintended side effect (which hits everyone that has retirement accounts, not just the rich). Another unintended consequence being an inevitable recession and mass loss of jobs from companies that rely on exports, again not a tax nor the rich.

The tax are the tariffs themselves which will be paid by everyone via higher prices.

Overall the United States will be worse off from this both financially and with power on the world stage. I guess that’s making us “great”

I think they may have been lobbying for higher taxes on higher income earners. Not a general tax across everyone that affects poor people more than the rich. But carry on.

The thing about the stock market is that it ALWAYS reacts in a drastic manner to any and all "news". Whether its interest rates, employment numbers, anything.... the market reacts.
This tariff thing was big news and the market reacted as expected.
Just know that the major hedge funds amd investment bankers see this coming and play the options market. Calls or puts, they make money whether the market goes up or down. In fact, they make major moves in the market to influence
these reactions. Its a scam. Its business as usual. Those people are losin any money

Point is, the Left talks out of both sides of their mouth, depending on whether they're in power or not.

The exact same policy for them is good for America, but bad when Trump does it.


And to be clear, this may not be great, but it's necessary.


Trump is trying to fix what establishment politicians created.

The very need for anyone to explain this to you undermines the image you’ve tried so hard to project—that your TDS rhetoric is thoughtful, intellectual, and well-informed.

The progressive playbook is to find the “victim” in every situation and pander about how the act hurts them. They shite on everything their opponent does. Trump could cure cancer and they’d talk about how many lab mice were killed in the process.

That’s why it is best to just ignore them. They offer nothing but power and wealth grabs for their leaders.

This is a reflection of your actual IQ. Reading Comprehension isn't taught in school today I guess? To be fair I wouldn't know since I've been out of high school for 21 years.

My reading comprehension is just fine and dandy. I get it; I wouldn’t care that much about well off people getting hit in the pocketbook…if I weren’t one of them. Maybe work harder?

No you really don't get it, but I'm sure (because it's been explained here already) the genesis of the OP.

Hint: It's absolutely nothing you are claiming

You have a hard enough time with basic English, it seems.


But goodonya for more than insinuating that ebonics is a derogatory word in and of itself.

Leaving no doubt of your not so secret racism.
