Dude has lost 2.5B of net worth (Truth) in the past 45 days. That's his only source of liquid wealth.

So, he's going to tank his own net worth by 45% tanking the economy so he can buy stuff on the cheap?

If the market really goes to the crapper,he'll lose another 2B on Truth and his grand plan is to lose 70% of his wealth to buy stuff cheap without any liquid assets to do so...

Stocks are going to ultimately be valued based on profitability. Markets became historically expensive. 10% pullbacks happen about every 5 quarters and 20% about every 3 years.

The Trump policies really aren’t going to be hurting profits in the long term.

A exception could be the enforcement of the laws with undocumented workers shouldn’t be ignored. The companies that have been enabling that should be prosecuted and penalized.

Bringing back manufacturing will lower near term profits, but there will be benefits extending well beyond his 2nd term.

We'll see. I personally think it's going to take more than this to make American manufacturing more profitable than importing from countries with cheap labor, but time will tell.

Where's that meme of the guy sweating whilst deciding between pressing two buttons when you need it?

Unbridled capitalism vs taking steps to reign in market manipulation from people with the power to do so.

I'm not sure I know any unbridled capitalist? AAMOF, it sounds like an oxymoron. Capitalism != Free Market Economics.

The profitability will come from the eco-system as a whole. It starts a long term trend, not a quick spike in the profitability of companies that aren’t diversified outside of manufacturing. Many of the late 20th century manufacturers’ profits were coming from their financing operations. Most of CostCos positive bottom line is due to membership fees, not the markup on what they’re selling.

The long term play is more US jobs. Which feeds consumer activity. Higher payrolls better fund the government which could address the $35T of ND.

Returning manufacturing to the US is a LT strategy. It won’t benefit this administration as much as it will future ones.

It's something only a person with no future elections to worry about can try.

Sad but true. There’s a reason that we constantly flip flop between parties. I think that Reagan/Bush 41 might be the only time a POTUS from one party has exceeded 8 years since FDR/Truman. Politicians work toward reelection, not putting the LT best interests of the country 1st.

4 recessions in over 40 years when on average they happen in less than 4 years. We’re due. The last one that was brought on by COVID only lasted about 2 months. The big one before that was fueled by the policy a decade earlier of easy money being available to unqualified borrowers.

Do you think it would require a great degree of intelligence to cheapen the market if you were president?

Serious question.

Idiots can’t be the president. Except for Biden who was in realty playing Bernie in Weekend at Bernie’s.

It would take a genius to manipulate markets, profit from it, and avoid prosecution.

He thinks that a trade deficit is like a P&L figure, and if it is negative then that means you are losing money. It is easily his single-worst policy stance.

There’s not a lot about him I like. The reindeer games he plays with tarrifs are one thing I absolutely despise.
