Put it in human terms. Erasing Americans retirements and savings.

Trump sees a benefit to his personal wealth in tariffs, which he prioritizes over the wealth, health and safety of his country, and of the world. This is entirely consistent everything we knew about him prior to his election.

We’ve never had a completely unfit, crazy president either. Think of his willingness to erase 11 million dollars in value as a symptom.

^before

Or insisted on a military parade in order to celebrate a birthday.

I think the word is intentionally, not willingly. The crash of the market is intentional.

Sounds like peak Russian asset behavior, but maybe its just me...

I’m checking my notes to see when he made crashing the markets a campaign promise. It would seem he’s “governing” by improvisation.

Maybe. But you did have ones that considered large parts of the population as “property”. USA’s perceived moral ground burned. Welcome to reality, where the mirror reflects who you are. (Not only you, every country has one, whether they like it or not)

We’ve never had one who stood to gain so much from doing so.

And then double down on sending it sliding even further.

It's such a duplicity to call stock valuations "value".

trump is the master of being the first at a whole lot of unnecessary things.

Reminder he sold off 2 ish BILLION in stock the day before so he’ll be able to buy it back and more at the bottom. This was always the reason.

Sometimes, you gotta lose your house to own the libs. 👊🇺🇸🔥

Nero fiddles.

Yeah they elected him first in 2016 and saw how much corruption they could get away with and need to double down on the corruption.

Putin told him to do it🤬

He’s trying to make citizens as poor as rats.

The low low lowdown cost of transphobia.

No, because every other president realized there are actual people connected to the economy.

We have never had a fucking moron as a President either, but here we are.

Until the Trump/Musk/Putin regime.

That’s way more than what doge saved.

Not that amount so quickly, but of course you have? You get a recession a decade to suppress wages as opposed to taxing wealth.

We've never had a confirmed rapist as a President before either. 😳

We’ve never had a president who called fallen soldiers losers. We’ve never had a president who’s a convicted felon. Anyone want to add: We’ve never had a president who_____

It's a calculated move on what Trump can gain from the sell-off, and the average American will be on the downward spiral part of the market!!

Kinda hard for an authoritarian to seize total control when people are living comfortably. They are inflicting increasing pain & suffering amongst Americans in the hope that violence will inevitably follow. This will provide the excuse they need to declare martial law and crush dissent.

"We’ve never had a president willingly send the market down, BEFORE NOW." This was deliberate, CNBC.

We've never had an idiotic moron like this in the wh before! Right now, I would vote for Nixon before this 💩!!!

Well now you do

And, for nothing! Tariffs will not bring reverse the outsourcing overseas started by Nixon and embraced by Reagan.

That's because a literally crazy man was never before eased into the White House.

Welcome to the new Great Depression

Actually we had 45…. So yes we did. The guard rails are just gone this time.

Well apparently there IS a first time for everything

He is that stupid

Good enough reason to impeach him and kick his ass out!! This amounts to treason, no question!!

The country never elected a fucking moron convicted felon before.

A true mob boss.

To be honest, as a Canadian looking on, I don't understand how the American people put up with this person being in office. You must know that the courts are fighting with him. Yes he is losing in some lower courts but on appeal and the supreme Court are behind him. No legal recourse for Americans.

Trump can never be wrong, he is so focused on being right he will not reverse course

And enjoying every minute of it

We had him for 4 years 4 years ago and he was an absolute shitball. I remember!

Everybody misses President Joe Biden!

we have never had a complete moron corrupt criminal for president so...

"Drumphenomics": Setting your house on fire to eliminate the termites.

Sure. The courts and legislators who enable him have no culpability. American Journalism has all the integrity of wet toilet paper.

Republicans Own This Trade wars are not modern GOP orthodoxy. But he is doing one openly and aggressively. No more lectures about markets being free. This tariff shit show belongs to the GOP.

Trump says, “I don’t want it (stock market) to go down.” But then does exactly that.

Hold his Diet Cokes….

Welp

trumps thirst for vengeance is well known, we rejected him in 2020, now he is making us pay.

Most of them likely voted for Trump 😕

$11,000,000,000,000,000

Never say never…

We’ve never had so many elected cowards who know better, but won’t do a damn thing about this clusterfuck

Can we sue Trump for failure to perform his fiduciary duties? There are so many examples of to choose from… www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/f...

More fool your ridiculous system.

The longer they wait to stop this tariff crap while countries start purchasing and making relationships elsewhere, we will never get back to where we were. No one wants to deal with the US. Are we great yet?

We never should have, this is criminal to say the least.

Pay attention to who sold before the clusterfuck and who buys when stocks are crashed. Guaranteed it’s him, his family, or other billionaire cronies. This had to have been planned to further enrich him and other 1% supporters.

Stay broke

He genuinely thinks this will work because he is a fucking idiot. Behind the scenes it's let him create conditions that they can use to justify martial law.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Strategy???? Have you heard this moron talk?!

Well, you do now. Do something about it. I know a person who had 70k wiped out from her investments in short order.

Congress needs to step in and revoke the delegation of its Article 1 powers over tariffs NOW. There are at least 7 Republicans in the Senate and 1 in the House who have begun working with this effort. This is the fight of the week. LIGHT IT UP ❗❗

Purposely shorting the market? What does Lutnick do for a living? Put 2 & 2 together 🤷‍♂️

11 trillion is just the start.

Never say never

Sure we did. Number 45.

Donald Trump and his whole administration is totally incompetent, disgraceful and detestable! Our country has become an embarrassment. Further, every single Republican in Congress is an utter coward and political hack! They are spineless minions and should go straight to hell! Sickening...🤮

Called Warren Davidsons office today and asked why he was doing nothing. Was told that Congress gave the power of Tariffs to the President. Told him to do his job and take it back.

...or willingly send unemployment up.

and we've never had a population greater than the size of France that truly enjoys the President willingly tanking the market as a get rich quick scheme based on the gambler's fallacy.

He is without a doubt a President the likes of which no one has ever seen.

But 500 million trillion gazillion has come flooding into the USA over the past 12 hours, it's true, Tramp said so

Never assume mere incompetence when Trump is involved - there's also malice.

Terrorist tRump!

When will the media see his willfull destruction for what it is? TREASON!

Nor a president on such good terms with Putin.

But you all wanted a dictator. This is life under a dictator. It’s not freedom. It’s being ruled.

Yes. Willingly. Deliberately. Destructively. It's what he does - anything for his own gain. Ruin the market, buy up the stock. He's a pig, a cheat, and a fraud. And Congress is letting him get away with it all.

We never had a felon for president but here we are

You've got to ask yourself why. 3 choices: (a) The grift; (b) Russia; (c) He's just really stupid and insane; (d) All of the above

🤡Ass DJT is a Matryoshka🪆doll From Russia with love 🤷🏾‍♂️

I know. I'm surprised he is still alive. Maybe tomorrow will be a new day with good news.

You think this is bad? Wait until seniors who don't get their SS checks and don't spend any $$, along with high unemployment and layoffs report hits. This whole tariff thing will lead right into a perfect storm of stemmed spending and high prices.

Domestic terrorist much??

he’s a Russian agent what did people expect

We never had a convicted felon as a president. So many firsts... and hopefully lasts, going on with this lunatic.

He's trying to destroy our country, and we must stop him!!! Call all the Republicans who won't stop him!!!
