Well, shit just got real and State Media is about keeping an eye on THEIR money, too. If they are not cut in on the market manipulation/intentional cratering and subsequent buying out things for pennies on the dollar, that is.

What was that truth social post again about the market dropping 2% under "horrible Harris" and "sleepy Joe" and how they should resign?
If ding-a-ling keeps it up, he just might be on track for wiping out all gains since his hyperventilating last year.
Watching these LYING LIARS from his admin and in Congress and from State Media claiming that Biden handed him the worst economy, and how it's been a "terrible four years" is a real exercise in next-level gaslighting. They are saying this right as little d does his tariff game to crash the markets.
When you thought you were a leopard but you turned out to just be a person with a face.
Fox host Jesse Waters whines about Donald Trump giving jobs to all Fox hosts except him
Poor widdle guy thought he'd get to eat faces. :(
Eh, they’ll just blame the democrats somehow. That’s all they ever do. Make up some convoluted or disconnected logic about how some unrelated policy set by Biden or Obama made trump such a shitty president.
Exactly and their viewers will eat that shit up. Faux news can eat a bag of necrotic maggot infested dicks.

Trump was placed in office for one specific reason, to make rich people even more money.
He's falling at that because rich people don't have cash, they have stock.
He's fucking with trade which is making stock prices free fall, and since rich people's values are directly tied to stock prices, that's as good as taking money directly out of their wallets.
This is the only thing that will put an end to Donald Trump, fucking with rich people's money.
He was placed in office to make super wealthy oligarchs richer and he is succeeding.
Oligarchs make a killing in these conditions. They all came out richer after the 2008 financial collapse and they will again this time.
They're crashing everything on purpose, and at multiple people direction. The wealthy a) make money on the shorts etc and b) will hoover up whats left after everyone not in the 1% has nothing left.
THATS when they'll ditch DT via the 25th, Vance will take over as hes less of a loose cannon and more controllable. He'll also be able to run for president twice more if they use the 25th on DT after 2 years.
Unbelievably enough, it might end up being the rich people in the US who end up saving us all, by deposing Trump because he fucks up their bottom line.
I wish you were right, but the rich LOVE a stock fire sale and Trump is giving them one. Berkshire Hathaway has been saving up liquidity specifically in anticipation of a recession. Every time the market dips, the rich end up growing even richer.
The rich are far, far more savvy at investing than that. The rich made a fuckton yesterday by selling VIX, writing calls, and generally just doing what people who already own everything do.
This hurts 401(k)s and investments owned by normal people. The rich will be fine.
Last time we had a depression we didn't have 512 million guns floating around. Gonna be a hot time in the ol town for sure.
Shotgun shells and canned goods are back on the menu, boys!
My wife thought I was crazy, she might have been partially right, but during Covid when people stoked up on TP I was stocking up on ammo. I told her I didn’t trust the current admin (Trump) to actually do enough and worried about a devolving system. I feel it even more with Trump 2.0… I’ve been telling all my progressive friends to go to the range and arm themselves. Those guns are floating in the hands of a ton of MAGA-folk and I don’t trust them.
