I’m slow to buy into conspiracy theories but the fucker is doing everything I could think of to revert America to an economic backwater.
There was a senator that literally asked someone trying to be confirmed, if Trump was a Russian plant, what would he do differently? They kept trying to deflect.
It is actually incredible how even the most bipartisan bills are getting axed, like the CHIP act. I always knew he loathed Obama-Biden so much he would cancel any and everything they did but, man, it’s just sad to see he doesn’t have an ounce of decency.
The article above claiming Trump has some 3d chess game going on to bring manufacturing back to the US, but killing the CHIP act, killing the incentives to build EV and renewable energy supply chains, killing aid to Ukraine that would have built up is military manufacturing ……… seems awfully counterproductive

Because that image looks like a conservative Facebook “claim”, even though it’s correct.
Tesla is down 14% today, it’s down almost 50% since Jan 21st. Maybe this is trump trying to get rid of Elon?
He could have had that illegal immigrant deported and his companies nationalized if he wanted to.
He never once said who he was maki g islt great for…and it’s no any of you americans. It currently costs 5m for those that wish it to be great again.
He did though. He specified that America was the greatest in 1870-1890. That was the Gilded Age, when a small group of people known as the Robber Barons owned all of the wealth and means of production. The oppression of the working class ended with unification, strikes, and the creation of unions.
Well, that makes sense because it sure feels like we’re in another Gilded Age with new Robber Barons.
Just bc I hadn’t seen him specifying dates anywhere: https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-gilded-age-mckinley-grover-cleveland-1592dab80ad7159266db51b5baa774b6

- Make America poor again.
- Get people used to the idea of being poor but make someone else take the blame for it.
- Bring back marginal improvements after people have gotten used to being poor.
- TADA! America Made Great Again!
I wouldn’t mind the stock market exploding if the economy didn’t also follow suit
It’s absolutely bull that the entire country has to deal with this shit when the stock market drops while only the rich benefits when the stock market does good.
Sock market can get fucked. 90% of the prices are imaginary
It’s funny that in the effort to make America great “again” we’re doing things completely differently than we’ve ever done.
The old greatness, but through a dictatorship this time.
Pretty sure he’s a closet accelerationist, they’re trying to bring the country to it’s knees so they can reshape it in their image.
when society is collapsed, can we find that curtis yarvin motherfucker?
Is it in the closet, though? With the likes of fElon and Peter Thiel being right there. Or Andreesen?
America has never been great.
That’s why they didn’t say “again.”
But they did say “undoing its greatness”, which implies there was greatness to begin with.
Same greatness there as you find with “great bowel movement” or possibly “great white shark” - referencing it’s massiveness, not it’s quality.
The MAGA movement (often referred to simply as MAGA, or Make America Great Again), was founded on the belief that the United States was once a “great” country but has lost this status owing to foreign influence, both within its borders (via immigration and multiculturalism) and without (via globalization, or the increased integration of multiple national economies). MAGA members think that this fall from grace can be reversed through “America first” policies that would provide a greater degree of economic protectionism, greatly reduce immigration, particularly from developing countries, and encourage or enforce what MAGA members consider to be traditional American values.

Why are you whitewashing this?
Why are you thinking I’m whitewashing MAGA?
I’m saying the Australian paper intentionally didn’t add the “Again” in their headline as a pointed barb, while still using the word “great” in their headline byline in its non-MAGA form, thus doubling the irony.

I promise you, the greatness of the US was never found in its stock market.
This conflicts me.
I want to see trump fail, but I also want to see the stock market abolished.
Stock market won’t be abolished. So I guess you gotta hope for 1 outta 2
I have been converting my life savings into Euros. I expect all currencies to lose value due to America imploding, but I expect the American Dollar to become a Weimer scenario: Burned for fuel, and wagons of cash stolen, minus the cash. If Muskcoin X Everything becomes a thing, I want my finances to be aligned with democracies in Europe, not Fascist America.
It seems like little d is doing everything possible to break America.
I wonder what all those supposedly leftists that were constantly saying in the run-up to the election, “but economy so bad, neocon capitalist Republican lite genocide Joe and Kamala need to stop saying it’s good” are going to be saying if he “succeeds” in his plans…
