"NOBODY EVERY HEARD OF [TRUMP'S] FORMULA."

 

CNBC's Steve Liesman doesn't mince words about the way the White House calculated its tariff rates: "Nobody ever heard of this formula. Nobody has ever used this formula. So I’m sorry, but the conclusion seems to be the president kind of made this up as he went along... these are off the charts."

  2. Senator Mark Warner: “This administration is plainly incompetent:

    Crashing the stock market
    Alienating our allies
    Leaking sensitive national security intel
    Mistakenly deporting people
    Firing thousands, then having to hire countless back

    What a sloppy, embarrassing pattern.”

  3. Ultimately the result of the Orange Felon Fuhrer will be widespread. Harming billions of people worldwide.

    When history judges the OFF it will judge him by far the very worst president in US history. The legacy he is creating for himself (out of combined self serving ignorance and stupidity) will be far from what his narcissistic personality believes it will be.

    My hope is he doesn't start WW III in hope of salvaging his sinking ship when it starts to sink.

    His ignorance and lack of self awareness will ultimately be his legacy.

  6. The October 19th issue of The Economist, a special issue was title... wait for it...

    "The US Economy... the envy of the world"

    Not any more. Now we're the bane of the world.

    Thanks Pres Trump, VPs Musk & Vance, our spineless GOP Senators, the Freedom Caucus of the House, and the whimpering members of the Trump economic Cabinet and advisors.

    And let's not forget the voters who put Trump iand his enabling supporters from the GOP in office. Especially those who sometimes comment here...

    Skud, -FJ, Thersites, Joe Con, Sal, Lisa, the crazy Anons and of course a few other assorted sailors from the HMS Mothership of Trump Love.

  7. Biggest in stocks and the economy since the pandemic started in March of 2020.

    Where are the blockheads who voted for this clown and the enabling GOP to defend Trump and claim this is great for America?

    What a bunch of stifled, ignorant, Edith Bunker Chickens*#ts.

  8. Trump is a failed businessman who bankrupted CASINOS! threw a wrecking ball to our "envy of the world" economy and to the world's markets.

    Who could have predicted a man who cheated all his life, committed fraud, was found guilty of 34 felony charges, and who was adjudicated to pay $83 million to a women whom he sexually assaulted and then DEFAMED! Who could have predicted that an immoral, cheater, liar, fraud would cause chaos, create destruction, devastate, ruin, destroy, or lay waste to our economy and to our allies?

    To those who voted for him, this is what your vote has done to America and our allies.

    What was it about Trump that compelled you to disregard his miserable reputation as a decent, honest human being and go against every American value we hold dear?

    Nothing you can name that Joe Biden did or that Kamala Harris would have done comes close to the utter destructive behavior of the malignant narcissist and criminal who brought this on America!

  9. Come on chickensh**s, too embarrassed to show up with your normal hackory BS on behalf of your "great" Orange Fuhrer?

    Thought so.

  10. And the numbers continue into the abyss. A friend of mine told me today, he and his wife had just last month decided they could buy a new car. So yesterday he had 50K taken out of his account for the deal. But it didn't go to a car, it went into his abyss.

    He lost 50K yesterday from his retirement account.

    All, literally all, 100% because of Trump.

    It's happening all across the country.

  11. And it will continue as the Fuhrer golfs and envisions his next disaster/failure.
