Economy We need a recession, and Trump's trying to trigger it.

[Zazen]

This could be another reason. If true he should be investigated but of course he won’t because nobody has a spine.



An even darker take is that he wants to destroy the economy so he and his billionaire buddies can buy up the country and rule over it with an iron fist. Basically, he'd rather have a weak country where he's dictator than a strong country where people pose a threat to him. There's even an old video resurfacing where he said a bad economy is actually good for that very thing.

I just edited it with an upload of another video. Trump says bad markets are good lol. This guy is a criminal and not even hiding it because he knows our nation is full of cowards. If you can become president with dozens of felonies then I suppose it makes sense to feel that way.

3. The trade deficit needs to shrink. Lots of people are arguing that a trade deficit is not a bad thing, but if it gets too big, that's a problem.

I hear this often since Trump has been elected. If Repub voters and supporters want to export more than they import then what needs to happen is Repubs would need to change their stance on a few things. They would need to invest in more public and education as a whole. Repubs would need to require better quality out of what we produce here domestically which may mean more regulation. They may need to also invest in industry that is vital even if said industry or business is operating at a loss.

The car industry is a decent example imo. Trump has said he wants more American cars in European and Asian markets. Problem is those markets don't want them because the quality sucks and some of them are too big. To counteract that you need engineers and mechanics, meaning investing in education. You would also need to require that companies like Ford and Chevy meet fuel and quality standards like their Toyota, Honda and Nissan counterparts (i.e. no more crappy rolling coal trucks). Then the government would likely need to support an industry even if it works at a loss like how China helps support BYD.

All of these things a Republican (and even the vast majority of Dems) will not be willing to do.

Who's going to prosecute him at this point? America, you've gotten yourselves a King. Congrats.

If that were true, he would have stepped down from the running after almost being assassinated. Trump knows he doesn't have many years left, even if he dies a natural death, and i think he really wants to fix the mess Biden left us in. Why would he want to destroy this country his kids, and their future kids will have to live in.

You lefties are seriously mentally ill.

I don't want to start an argument here, but do you really think Trump is truly interested in his children beyond seeing them as useful pawns?
Well, I, for one, think he only cares about his image; his children are just accessories.

This is my theory on what's really happening. I'm not a yuge Trump supporter but I also don't believe he's a moron like other do.

1. The stock market is overvalued. The influx of retail traders has caused an everything bubble. Now every dumbass in the world thinks they need to buy the dip and never sell. This has caused too much market optimism. So we can either try to trigger a smaller market correction now, or wait until the problem is much worse and the bubble pops and causes the worst depression in history.

2. Inflation is stubborn. We printed too much money during COVID and raising interest rates has slowed inflation somewhat but we still need a recession to restore balance to the economy.

3. The trade deficit needs to shrink. Lots of people are arguing that a trade deficit is not a bad thing, but if it gets too big, that's a problem.

So what if Trump's advisors are trying to solve all 3 at once? We need a recession, but if they let it hit us naturally, it will be far worse, and it might come close to the next election and which would hurt the Republicans chances. So it's better for them to try and trigger the recession now, so we can recover before the next election, and they can take credit for the recovery.

You’re stupid and brainwashed. People like you are the problem in this country. Stupid people that think they are smart.

You don’t know a fucking think about economic policy and what it should be. You should stick to doing what you are good at what ever that is and not try to comment on things you know nothing about.

Ya… stopped reading there.

I am sorry, but a rich person like Elon doesn't tank his companies because he wants to collapse the economy. He is making nothing being apart of DOGE, he is doing it because he wants to help America get out of a fucking 36 trillion debt.
You sir, are a clown with TDS.

You’re the mark and don’t even know it, hilarious.

So all the chaos really boils downs to some 4D chess game that makes no sense until some random poster on an Karate fourm"what ifs" it for us. Brilliant!!!!!!

This is a funny joke but if this is actually a serious statement America sort of participates in this kind of things already. Part of the reason Tesla and Space X are as big as they are due to state and federal governments supporting them and subsidizing their operations. If America wants to be a serious exporter though for things we make here then the quality needs to ramp up. You do that through education which, correct me if I am wrong, other countries blow us out of the water on.

It would also require more regulation because if you want to increase your quality you cannot have things all over the place. There's a reason why Unicorn Tires are not good tires compared to Michelin Tires. I shouldn't even need to address the government supporting industry side. As I said above without government subsidies a lot of these major corporations are nowhere near the level they are now.

I can guarantee you no one in his administration agrees with much he does let alone crash the market on purpose ,particularly at this point where a Russian and Ukrainian war among our own strikes on other continents are going on .

The difference between this administration and the rest of the past ones is this one isn’t actually giving him advice they are there to repeat whatever Trump tells them …….Outside RFK .I bet he’s the only one Trump listens to bc Trump loves fast food diet cokes and pastries you can see by the way he acts it’s brain rot .

Trump only backed down bc J.P Morgan warned him about t what he’s about to do so why didn’t he crash the market yesterday ? He could have right ? The fact is he’s an idiot ,he has proven twice now the stock market madness is all about him ,the 90 day pause is a forever pause it’s not going to happen bc he sees the backlash he’s got ,he still doesn’t understand how Tarriffs work though ,and that’s the president .

yes, I am aware of the paradox about America's total-but-not-that-total rejection of communistic socialist leftist socialism

its not dissimilar to the citizens from rural states most-beholden to Federal subsidies, shouting about how they distrust and reject the evil federal gubmint

Even if you think Trump is dumb, no president makes decisions alone. They have advisors who are almost always smarter than the president.

Winners in what sense?

Demand for their stuff increases simply based on global quality of life improving and so they always have more and more customers, making more and more money, creating more and more jobs for citizens. It's a much better position to be in than a country reliant on exporting the same raw materials they have been for 100 years.
