Isn't Trump doing well?

[msc545]

I don't care about stock prices but this is ridiculous...

[MisterWack]

Can we stop going for stocks / other pointless crap?

We have an oligarchy to worry about (among a few other things)….

$135 million from Crypto Corps. Robinhood, Kraken, Coinbase, Bitcoin, DOGE, and more.

$1 million each from AI base Google, Apple, Meta, X, and more

This is leaving out millions poured in by insurance companies, NRA, big oil, and many more for not just the 2024 Campaign, but the Trump Transition to the Oval Office.

The thing is Trump voters were misled and kept saying their almighty chief would fix egg prices on day one, fix inflation, etc. and still hasn’t done it…. Now we have pointless random firings of Federal workers, no 24 / 7 military protection in the skies watching out for terrorists, and cuts to USAid / CFPD / Medicaid / Social Security !!!

This isn’t pro average American, this is pro Capitalists! You can put the needs of the people and needs of the Capitalists though this Administration’s priorities are booked…. No reservations left for you & me, thank you!

The American economy has been on lifesupport since we got off the gold standard. It's on it's way to zero. Going to be a painful decline of empire, no matter who is in charge. Although, they did print more money when Trump was in office than ever before.

Imagine, making gold illegal. "A Free Country"

[PsychicBoobs]

Did he open his mouth again. That is the trend.

"The stock market loves me. It's a fabulous stock market. You're going to love these numbers."

"If the dow drops 1000 points in two days the president should be impeached immediately" Donald Trump, November 6th 2012

[WhiteSteve]

Whoops

The Dow “Joans”🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤣🤣🤣 What an absolute fucking buffoon.

[lightbulb27]

depends what the goal is doesn't it? clearly prior govs were pumping the stock market by way of feeding lots of credit and money. he said a lot to get elected... whatever was necessary to get votes.

he said a while back in interview, market could decline... didn't say was going to stop it either. Haven't seen pain yet... and I'd expect pain.

goal is resecure manufacturing and refill the treasury in the USA because it's empty. bring investment to usa. That... is a very tall order to pull off in 4 years.

stock market is a factor and if goes low enough, they will juice economy, I suspect by way of military spending. Id expect it to get much worse before better, but I'd also expect other countries will be more worse.

I wonder if holding gold is a smart move. you decide.

Trump is doing awesome. nobody has seen so many things happen in such a short time frame. Besides closing the border, he got men out of women's sports and enabled oil companied to drill again. Oil was 66 dollars a barrel last Friday and there hasn't been a single well drilled yet. It is all on the expectation of increased oil production. I got gas today and it went down another dime from last month. All the fake news dwells on is some panic selling due to Trump's tariffs. Nobody said a peep when the market tanked when Biden was in office.
When America is on even footing with other countries there will be record gains again in the stock market.

[msc545]

@exitseven I told you that reality would intrude, remember? Here it is.

[msc545]

Are you capable of understanding what that chart says or do I need to explain it to you? If you do understand what it says, how is it that you think he's doing awesome as you put it?

[exitseven]

I see the chart. Next week it will be just the opposite.

[msc545]

Well you don't know that for sure. That's just a wish on your part. Even if that is the case, that does not mitigate what we see today.

[exitseven]

yes, it does suck but with all the new pro business policies and the upcoming tax cuts it will turn around.

[msc545]

It's amazing to me that you can keep making excuses for this guy. What's going to happen when you run out of excuses?

[msc545]

It just got worse - the Dow is down another 500 points this morning (3-11).

[DryGermanGuy]

Don't worry - it's all Biden's fault! FOX "News" told me so.

The stock market fluctuates for many reasons, and while Trump’s tariff policies may have contributed to this dip, it’s not the whole picture. Markets react to global events, inflation, and investor sentiment as well. If this downturn continues long-term, it could be a concern, but short-term drops like this don’t necessarily mean he’s failing.

I think its twofold, the stock market had an artificial boost from him being president which is normalizing, the second part is uncertainty about all the rapid changes. I don't think this will be a lasting effect, stock is highly speculative. I care more about prices of ordinary goods which to my knowledge have not gone down yet.

[msc545]

I also don't care much one way or the other about stocks except that things like this are an indication of what is happening generally in the economy and you are right. Even household goods have not gone down in price nor has gas. If anything, the prices of these things have gone up. A lot.

[sawno]

Nah, I don't find stocks a good indicator at all. They can be manipulated and presidents have a habbit of saying "Look how good the stock market is" when things are bad for ordinary people. Trump is right about the causes of the high prices but those causes can not be fixed in the duration he has been in office for. It will take a bit before he has enough plants up and running that energy is affordable again. Without affordable energy everything else is affordable. Personally I think he did the tariff stuff to soon and to rushed. I get what he is doing and I don't djsagree with the princjple but you don't want to put pressure on a ruined economy. He should have waited until he had it stable.

[sawno]

Without affordable energy everything else becomes to expensive to product and transport*

[msc545]

Okay guys. Keep twisting and turning and trying to find ways to make excuses for Trump. The numbers don't lie and going forward they still won't lie. Looks like Trump failed again.

[sawno]

You can't expect someone to fix the economy in a month. Judge if he failed or not at the end of his term. Critisize him if he is failing a year in especially if he didn't fix it after 2. Critisize him all you want for the effects of the decisions he did make but expecting wider change in a month is not realistic unless you can propose a plan that would do so within a month.

[msc545]

The Dow index is down another 500 points this morning...

[Dargil]

Results matter. We will see in the midterms. Enjoy the ride until then.

[Amy10223]

Yeah, he's doing swell! Despite what the S&P shows, just ask MAGA. He's the best!

You must see this as it goes along with what you aer showing in your graph.

[DrPepper12]

For his next trick he will collapse the general economy, expand concentration camps & declare martial law...

[Jennz6]

Trump is a wonderful President and doing well

[Paige90]

He is doing what had to be done and what no democrat would do.

[msc545]

Oh sure. We all know how important it is to crash the stock market.

[Paige90]

Or add trillions of $$$ to the debt like Biden or whoever was running the administration did

[msc545]

Trump is the one that added lots of $ to the debt.

[dustybiker2]

Evidence does jot appear so.

[dustybiker2]

*not

[jshm2]

Trump is the fuckup king.

[Booboolove69]
