Your 'I don't want to blow up the global financial system' shirt is raising many questions not wholly addressed by the shirt…

America’s allies don’t believe Bessent’s threats to implement economic sanctions on Iran—no different than the last 50 years—why would adversaries listen to the Trumpedon Flying Monkeys? Is doing the same stupid thing and expecting different results something they teach at Yale?

Maybe because you think you’re special and when prices tank, you’ll buy lots of stuff at the expense of the American people and literally everyone on the planet? Cuz you’re a douche & you never learned the value of people. Gross.

Trump seems to have two negotiating “strategies”: - Threaten, which always turns out to be a bluff - Reneg on a prior agreement, which to date has never resulted in a better deal. If this is the art of the deal, I have some finger paintings from a kindergarten class to sell you. Good as Picasso.

Because your boss is fulfilling his mission to make Putin's Russia Great. And you have no choice except to go along because someone know what you did to children at Epstein Island.

I don’t know either, I also don’t know why 1/2 of the voters of this country elected a guy who could have killed them without any remorse during COVID and filed 6 finantial bankruptcies.🤷🏻‍♀️

Bessent: "Why would I want to blow up the global financial system?" Everyone else: "We don't know. That's why we're asking you why you're trying to do it."

Some of us: "Because you're rich enough to survive the collapse and will be able to buy and consolidate more control when failing companies and everything else is at rock bottom. Then make yourself even richer on the recovery."

Trump only hang around rich cronies who can give him a million dollars. All those cereal and egg when he was seeking your votes all crap, he had no plan to make Alericans lives better he is a con man who con Yorkers out of millions. With his fake university and fake charity. He rob the sick.🐀

Pretty sure Bessent's kids run a company that stands to make a lot of money from the tariffs being declared illegal. I suspect he would not consider this long term damage but would come out ahead once cooler heads prevail.

Iran already made a clown out of them These rich losers there is no coming back. Iran blew up half the middle east where Trump’s money came from and left Americans soldiers sleeping on the streets. US standards does not worth dog shit. Now he is deflecting to Canada.Ford said well. K.M.A.💩

So.... He just announced that he wants to give up the Dollar as the world reserve currency and people should find other denominations instead. Cool cool. Can't see how that'll blow back badly on the United States.

"Blowing up the global financial system is a lot of work and my boss is rapidly crashing the US economy already!" Seriously, though, rising interest rates are going to hit the AI bubble companies hard, just like Greenspan raising them 2% in 2000 helped set off the dotcom crash (had multiple causes)

Trump should never have started this war, but now someone has to stop Iran from cratering the world’s economy. China has the most leverage of all other countries. If they stop buying Iranian oil, Iran will have open Hormuz. Admitting he made a mistake won’t stop Iran now.

What does China get for cleaning up Trumps mess? Trump is threatening everyone, who wants to help this 🍊💩. Trump can end this today by accepting the mistake of being a sucker to Bibi, make some concessions to Iran sanctions and bring the world back to the status quo.
