Tariff Man and his tariff plan cause market plunges

I know who he’s talking about.

The counter point is there’s a group of Trump supporters that have never had it better.

Or claims to on the internet

Hope everyone's enjoying the death of the de minimis exemption thanks to Tariffman

Wait until the rate cuts get here.

Go ask someone who works for a living how the economy's doing. Go ask a soybean (or any other) farmer how their lives are going. You know, a tiny taste of reality might be good for you once in a while.

The Dow is above 45,000. That’s 9,000 higher than pre Covid. As far as the market, Trump has been a success so far. That’s where the greed in me overrides my dislike of Trump. This guy loves it!!

Biden beat Trump 1.0 in terms of gains for S&P and Dow. Trump 1.0 won on Nasdaq. Since then, Trump's only up minimally over the best of Biden. But he did give us ability to buy a pretty signigicant dip.

Define “works for a living”. To the left that’s usually interpreted as someone who doesn’t make very much money, and implies that those who do don’t actually work hard for it. Nothing could be further from the truth.
