      Yeah this isn’t his best boast. After we saw the stock market tanking insanely I was shocked to see it resemble normal growth for a time. Wrecking the economy with moronic tariffs and then restoring it briefly by backing off isn’t something you can brag about

        He hasnt even gotten to the truly moronic part of instituting actual tariffs yet. All the tanking that occurred previously was due to the threat of tariffs. Imagine how fucked the market and economy would be if every tariff he threatened actually came to fruition

        Yeah but if you can time the dips and rises, you can make shitton of money, which is exactly what his cronies are doing. Everytime fatass announces a tariff, the market reacts, and then soars when he backs off. It’s pure market manipulation.

    I expect all his policy to be shit. So when it’s always shit I’m never surprised. Because he is a grifting carpetbagging sack of flaming shit. A tragic waste of functioning organs. The world’s most notorious oxygen thief. Also he is a fucking moron. If there was a photo negative of Mensa where stupid motherfuckers competed to see who the dumbest motherfucker of all the dumb motherfuckers was, he’d be it’s lifetime appointed leader.

          Lol so true. I had to help a group of them figure out how to use a key card to a hotel room, then heard Jamie Loftus podcast on them and it all made sense.

    Well, the way economic growth was stunted by Trumps failures probably shattered his inflated expectations.

    Well, if he expected a total Crash and instead got only mild recession, it still “shatters expectations”

    The crazy part is it really doesn’t shatter anyone’s expectations. Everyone expected it. Either the magidiots already believing it’s great and everyone else who knew it would be shit and we weren’t surprised.

    I mean. It did. Just not in a positive direction. I was expecting their economic and fiscal policies to have catastrophic implications, but even I’m impressed by how jaw-droppingly idiotic they’re being, and how quickly everything is starting to come unraveled.

    Clearly, he’s talking about the expectations he had for himself vs going to jail. I’m just as surprised.
