It’s almost like the economy is being run by someone who has had multiple failed businesses

Only a retart would doom about the stock market dropping a few percent.
8.5% in the last month.
When was the last monthly drop that big?

And did you see how much it gained in the previous two years prior to that? It's called a correction.

Here is a CNN Article from today:

Title: "Dow slides and S&P enters correction territory as Trump’s trade war escalates"

The last similar correction was in 2023: "The last correction to the S&P 500 occurred in 2023, when the benchmark index fell 10.3% from a closing high in July to October, according to Turnquist."

And who was president when that was going on?

And what a coincidence that it happened just as Trump started flailing around shouting “TARIF” at everyone.
The markets actually went up when he first became president. Then everyone realised he has no idea what he’s doing. No strategy. No one knows what he’s going to do next, least of all Trump. The markets hate uncertainty, that’s why everything is tanking.

Sure, the recent stock surges was all thanks to demented Joe Biden, and the recent innovations and unprecedented market capitalization by the American companies had nothing to do with it.  ::)

Your narrative of small surcharges on Canadian and Mexican goods causing this is a terrible take. Many of the companies affected are in sectors which have nothing to do with that, or with the physical trade of foreign goods. There have been other significant events which have occurred recently, which discredits your coincidence theory.  Beyond overpriced stocks, it is otherwise far more likely that another factor driving the sell off is related to the massive government cuts and Wall Street's addiction to government grants.

Here is NY Post to set you straight: https://nypost.com/2025/03/10/business/ignore-the-stock-market-wall-street-dealing-with-painful-detox-from-government-spending-addiction/

This situation will likely correct itself and you won't have to cry and be sad about this anymore. However, I am not too sure why you are concerned and appear to care about the success of America, considering that your own country is failing significantly if we divide the US GDP by US population and compare the same to the UK GDP and UK population. By this general measure, an American is twice as valuable as a British citizen. You really should do better.

Well, maybe. But the recent drop IS caused by Trump shouting TARIF every 5 minutes and the fact that no-one knows what he's going to do next, least of all him.

A lot of people in the market are using this news of "economic uncertainty," to get real rich off of short-trading. Just gaming the system for now. AATW doesn't have a clue about how the market operates.

Snipped because of dumpster fire quote tags, but claims the Capitol Police allowed "any ole body" to open the doors to the US Capitol and these "any ole bodies," were violent insurrectionists," who willingly allowed themselves to be handcuffed in order to be escorted to the exits, while exchanging pleasantries and fist bumps with the same Capitol Police.
COMEDY GOLD!!!

LMMFAO!!!

You assume it was willing.  I swear, you're gonna force me to find the video of him being cuffed, aren't you? 
But fine.
Why was he handcuffed?  If they were escorting him inside, as you claim, why would they need to cuff him?

Everybody inside the US Capitol that day had US Capitol Police escorts.

You don't think anyone can roam around freely inside the Capitol, do you?

Well, if you're escorting someone around, you typically don't handcuff them.  You only handcuff criminals.  Unless it's a sex thing.
So yeah makes a difference.

You also need to explain why the handcuffed guy went outside the building seconds later.

Once you handcuff a criminal you uncuff him and turn him loose?

What in the living hell are you talking about!?!? LMMFAO!!!

Everybody who goes in a building eventually goes out of said building.

LD, stay on fucking track goddamnit... I said US Capitol Police let J6 protestors inside the building that day.

I posted a video from XTwitter clearly showing that happened. I also showed a video from Jordan Peterson in which Dr. Simone Gold states the doors where she gained entry were opened from the inside. Other videos clearly show Capitol Police escorting J6 protestors to the Senate chamber.

You got nothing dude, except the same ole shitinsky.

As opposed to handcuffing someone to escort them inside?

Sure.  But the video you claim is a cop escorting someone in shows that handcuffed person leaving seconds after being uncuffed.  Why would a video claim to show they were let in but they leave immediately after?

You did not.  You posted a Twitter status of a retweet of something that doesn't exist.

Quote

Yes, the rioters did that once they got inside.  I saw the video.  She got in AFTER the Capitol building was breached, not before.

And which ones were those?  Because you posted a whole 4 videos.  One of which wasn't even the DC capitol.

The Twitter feed clearly shows US Capitol Police opening the doors to the Capitol and letting J6 protestors in.

There are numerous other videos showing Capitol police escorting protestors into the Senate chamber.

Ok.  Prove that it exists.  Go click on the link in that tweet you showed and post the screenshot.  Go on, I'll wait.

Congrats on finding video of the police escorting that guy out.  At no point in that clip do they show police escorting him into the Senate chamber.  It just cuts to the Senate chamber.  God you're pathetic.  Tell me, what time was that walkthrough video?  Because I bet I can find it and find all the vids of that guy being walked out, not in.

1. Clean up your dumpster fire quotes.

B. Watch the video with Chansley. You will see him go into the Senate Chamber.

III. I will post a screenshot of the Twitter feed when I get home.

d. You will apologize after that.
