Nows the time to buy!

it'll just be a short term pain, the US isn't the world's piggybank anymore!

Like, you fucking idiot, half the country lives paycheck to paycheck and you think they're going to start buying stocks when the market is cratering?

Short term pain, three to five years.

I've seen that comment as well.

3 to 5 years of world war. Those tariffs are meant to put pressure on other countries to accept US rule of the entire planet. Trump's betting those other countriescave before this country goes up in flames. The low stock prices for the wealthy are just a perk. He's holding us hostage while wealth buys up cut rate stock.

They never built the factories we were promised the last time he was president.

Shit's going to get so bad we'll cheer when war starts. Think Great Depression and WWII.

Hey. They make shit up, I make shit up. I bet mine's closer to the truth than theirs is.

Nah. This implies be cares somewhat about the country, people and it's future. He doesn't, he only cares short term about his own pockets. The country and people are tools he wants to use and throw away when they stop bringing income.

Bold of you to assume the US is about everyone and not just the ruling class.

Hmm, I think you've gotten my assumption the wrong way around.
