    The stock market basically plunged every fucking time he announced a tariff threat or plan. But yeah it’s clearly creating a booming economy to make Americans pay additional taxes to buy goods.

      When he says the economy is doing well, it’s when he personally is doing well. And when he says the economy stinks, it’s when he personally is losing money or about to be tossed in the clink.

      The grift is going well for him right now, so by his terms, the economy is going gangbusters. He doesn’t give a fuck about anyone but himself.

      His tariff announcements are simply an opportunity for him to sell high and but low (plus an opportunity to extract personal contributions from the countries that play ball with him).

    Since he’s such a flaming narcissist, he’s probably just thinking of the “economic miracle” of his own grifting, and he’s grifted 1.4 billion, so that’s quite a miracle indeed. For a narcissist, that’s where economics start and end - his own financial situation.

    ALL of which should be seized the minute he’s gone or the minute he leaves office, by the way…

    Now, we are the ‘HOTTEST” country anywhere in the world!

    Yes, because it’s on fire! (and he threatened, insulted and alienated all fiends and allies, I bet they won’t even pee on it to help put it out)

    At this point, even if they won’t admit it, I think most people understand that economic reality is the opposite of whatever Trump says.
