“If you guys damage the US economy, I will do even more damage to the US economy.”
—stable genius
The most stable. The best at being stable.
If he’s stable that explains the horse shit…
c/swoosh
I’m the stablest, geniusest potus the world has even seen. When does the Mt Rushmore amendment start that’s all I want to know
Apparently that what it will take to wake up Congress and the voting populace.
Trump fucks everything up forcing nations to find other economic alternatives then says I will destroy you if you work together. This is the plot of a bad 70’s comic book.
Once people find or develop those alternatives they wont be back for at least a few generations. Trump doesn’t understand that other countries can and will find a replacement for US goods and if necessary US customers. I’m sure though some who are in the right position are ready to exploit this for their own gain. Trump is more than a fool he is a tool.
Trump has his personal wealth secure via private dinners in maralago. Everything else is for them.
Trumps wealth depends on him keeping the GOP on his side. The second he loses his lock on them his future is very uncertain. He is already losing more and more ground with the people and unless he can do the old brown shirt thing like hitler in four years he is out.
He’s Hindenburg his whole job is setting up the next Hitler. That’s his plan anyway. You can see on his face he already knows how this ends for him.
Another year of this, and these threats will carry about as much weight as North Korea threatening you with sanctions.
Next year will be the effects of this year yeah. This shit is a slow motion genocide like a giant molasses flood.
“only I can do economic harm to the U.S!!!”
Please destroy our economy… I really want to buy a house.
I really don’t think that’s how it works. Like no one has ever sold their house below market to such an extent that one would run to buy it. That makes no sense. If you lose your house, it goes to the bank.
Think about what you’re saying. The market value fluctuates over time. Right now US housing is artificially inflated because of monopolies and rampant real estate speculation. When it tanks, it could tank hard and fast, and it might never get back to current levels. Nobody knows. And that is the time when tens of millions of Americans would love to buy homes.

but banks dont want houses. they want the balance of the loan. in a moderate recession realestate will get auctioned fast and low.
Okay. Whatever you say Mr. Let me know when that happens so I can get one too!
I mean, anecdotally, I do know someone that bought a new build in mid 2008 for about 60k-ish less than what everyone else in the neighborhood bought for (earlier or later). The company building out the subdivision was pretty desperate and he had a solid stable job as a trucker. He managed to get all kinds of perks and stuff too.

A discount of $60000 is not “nothing at all”. At current rates, it’s about $300 off your monthly payment.
That’s $300 more than I can spare.
oh, you’ll know. talk to friends and family who may have been through this before. make a plan (or five) for something that works. there are paths depending on your goals - individual, multi-family, communal, etc. only you (and other potential participants) know what you might want to achieve.
the most important thing its talking to people who have been through it before. start doing that so you have some inkling of what to look for and what might work if you have resources. a great deal of it is luck but some of it is forethought.
reminder: none of this is competent financial advice and you should probably ignore it.
Just google “foreclosure auction” in your area. Those houses will generally sell below market.
Or just use any other better search like Bing or duckduckgo. googol sucks and was never any good.
I can see you weren’t around when the fallout of 08 happened. Read some articles about the 08 crash. With all of these people losing their jobs, you don’t think there will be ramifications to that? The job market is complete shit right now, more people looking than jobs available. The dominoes have been tipped and are starting to fall. The sooner you realize that the better you will be on the recovery. There’s a bad moon rising and trouble is on the way.

That’s why I’m telling you, housing doesn’t drop
House prices cratered during 2008-2014… So did interest rates.
I was lucky enough to be able to leverage a VA loan, and had a solid and secure job during the 2008 recession, which is the ONLY reason I was able to buy a home. Ever.
I couldn’t do it today. Not 3 years ago during “The bestest economies evar!” Not 6 years ago while the admin was “Making American Great Again”…
Nope, it was because of a recession, so houses sat on market for 4 or 5 months. Almost any offer was being taken. I even talked the seller down 9K on my home. That’s how bad it was.
There has never been a president like donald.
This is true but I personally am not gonna be selling my house for a low low price just because Hitler is the president.
Think it through for a minute. You won’t be selling.
And you won’t be buying.
But it’s gonna be interesting all the way to the wild west.
Remember he said he was going to make mexico pay for that wall? The wall was never completed.
He built some wall. Mostly just in places there was already baracades, but yeah everyone always called the wall a joke. Blue areas existed pre-trump, red is what he put up
Why is that map mirrored ?
It isn’t?
Is that not Florida on the left?
Baja California Peninsula.
Correction: Baja AMERICA Peninsula!
I hope Florida will be further left on April 1.
Florida ist further to the right. The state on the right side is Texas. That left part you saw as Florida is Mexico
I see. Not being from America, I think it being zoomed in threw me.
Understandable! I can see how the left side can look like a shriveled up Florida.
Florida decided to reattached to Baja peninsula
He (like Putin) is afraid of the EU. He won’t be able to take Canada if they are allied with the EU
Oh now we just GOTTA unite with Canada!
This is such dumb shit. I wish his father hit him more as a child. It wouldn’t have beaten the stupid out of him but maybe he’d be quieter
Donald should have been punched in the mouth when he was a teenager. All his rich classmates at boarding school are to blame.
Agreed.
A good walloping may not fix stupid, but it sure could muffle the sound!
Bring it on Trumpet, USA can’t stand upto EU’s economic power
Threatening to throw a tantrum if one’s opponents gang up, is only an admission of vulnerability and an invitation for opponents to gang up quicker.
Besides, the EU has already held consultations with China (which got a tariff raise last month) about how to adapt to the situation. Both have previously used response strategies aimed at Trump’s support bases. They’ll do it without hesitation.
And if Trump is going to enact “far larger” tariffs against every big trade partner, he’ll knock the US economy into a recession.
And by “economic harm” what he means is asking for a deal that suits him and fucks the other country over.
Edit; had to rewrite this cause I said Trumps deals would be fair.
By “economic harm” he means don’t try to stop me. Don’t fight back. Just take it like a good little victim.
I totally ballsed that up. I’m going to have change it.
Canada, all you have to do is outlast us, then buy us up for cheap once Trump decides to give up.
Irrefutable logic:
A -> B
I don’t like B, therefore more A.
Choo choo! He comes the recession.
His idiots already think it’s fine, and simply say “it’s temporary” when you bring this up. Like… Bitch WE’RE temporary.
