So far his idea of tariffs is costing us not just the respect of our allies but a hundred and ninety thousand jobs are going to go down the tubes in the first month.
Soon, the Trump Disciple economic experts will be along to explain how more and more tariffs will just make the economy grow and grow. Because, you know, winning!
Funny how Trump wanted all the credit in January for the market but now not a peep from him. On the other hand, maybe that’s expected from this jerk who takes no responsibility for his shortcomings and claims undeserved credit.
Trump like to boast that his achievements are the biggest and the best. He has been silent about the fall of the stock market on his watch. The Dow has fallen over 500 points in weeks and does not make America great at all. This doesn’t help jobs, and it has lost trillions of dollars. Could you imagine if Obama had a drop as big as Trump’s because he was shouting idiotic ideas about trade wars and tariffs? The Alt-media would be attacking him. Trump’s stock market is not unprecedented, but if he claims the rise, he owns the fall. And he is directly responsible for the drop in the stock market. Obama pulled us out of W’s recession, Trump is doing everything in his power to put us right back in recession.
It’s funny—there’s rather little evidence that presidential pronouncements have immediate and salutary effect on the stock market, but ill-considered ones can crater it. Trump’s claims of credit for a rising DOW are delusional, but there’s no delusion about investors recoiling from Trump’s vision of world trade.
A mild word of warning, here. Donnie’s followers don’t CARE about the adverse effect he has on the stock market – they, for the most part, own no stocks, either directly or indirectly. Donnie has been advocating for a trade war against “the Orientals” for at least 4 decades! His “ideas” about trade wars and starting thermonuclear wars (we’ve got the bombs; why not use them?) has been well-known at LEAST that long – he’s NOT stating anything new and surprising! He’s doing what he ALWAYS has done in the past – putting forward an absolutely asinine idea, waiting to see who, if anyone, objects and then abandoning or going forward once he’s ascertained the cost (TO HIM) of the action!

I’m hoping for only 20% drop but ready for 50%.

I have the dreadful feeling that 2018 is going to turn 1929 into a picnic by comparison.

Good ‘toon, exactly that should be the average American getting hit by the bump, not trump. He’s got himself immunized against any loss.
