I'm so sick of winning, can we please stop winning.
He DID say we'd be winning so much that we'd get tired of winning. ...Wait, when were we winning to begin with?
Probably dosen't help that Trump also threatened Amazon over the weekend
News like this keep making me wonder if another recession is just around the corner...
I mean to be fair, the DOW was basically at the same point it is now earlier when people were fearing a trade war at the start, but Trump's effectively halting it from going up with this shit.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that goon was doing this just so he and his business buddies could buy cheap and wait for it to eventually recover.
The causes of recessions and the cause of this are somewhat different. Recessions tend to be caused by systemic issues, whereas this is something that's highly predictable and tit-for-tat, with one country upping the ante in response to the other, so it's controllable.
GOD his third grade attempts at manipulative namecalling are so cringeworthy, let alone in the fact that these shitposts do monetary harm to anyone he targets like that
So... Does he believe The NY Times/Washington Post now or...?
what I'm getting is that he'll still use anything as a source if they match the angle he wants, but he'll still bash them in the process
Is it not illegal for a president to interfere into the market like this, and attack a company?
"S-stupid NY Times. It's not like I believe y-your reports or anything, b-baka..."
He hates the NY Times because they'll report on facts that make him look or feel bad, but he craves to be mentioned or written about in the NY Times because the Old Grey Lady is a NYC institution far older than him and he wants to be associated with that kind of near-aristocratic legacy and reputation. Just like his obsession about being on the cover of TIME, to the point of getting caught making and displaying fake covers. Above all, Donald Trump wants to be loved and adored by everyone while still having the total freedom to be and do whatever he wants. I bet every dictator has daddy issues.
Who's going to stop him, because Congress sure won't
Honestly I think Amazon is awful and should definitely be broken up like facebook. but trump's coming at it from the wrong angle, as usual.
I'm sure "the Second Amendment people" could do something about it, but they're too busy fighting a life-and-death struggle with teenagers armed with signs and podiums so we'll be waiting a while to hear back from them.
