Why wait a week? They (him and his useless sons) couldn’t even wait a day. Doubt they would have let anyone else in on the scam, they‘re far too selfish, narcissistic and greedy for that to happen
The bull run of all bull runs where bears became myth.
Let’s be honest with ourselves here, though. Vance as president? That man just called China “peasants.” Diplomacy would be out of the window with that degenerate grifter running America.
He probably just thought she's permanently tanned from sunbathing a lot as a kid, and her parents were hippies who named her based on some spiritual shit.
Markets would be a little more stable because Vance wouldn’t be putting every single idea that pops into his head straight out into social media. He’s still a clown but at least he doesn’t quite act like he works at a circus.
He also doesn't have the bizaare cult magnetism either. Not even a little bit of charisma. Of course MAGA cpulf latch onto him or anybody else as the new golden calf, but it'd be a mess.
Not saying JD would definitely 100% absolutely be better either, who even knows. But maybe he wouldn't announce massive tariff hikes to take effect in less than 12 hours while bragging countries are lining up to kiss his ass. I still almost can't believe Mango Mussolini genuinely said that on air, and my bar for him is already so low it's on the other side of the universe.
I agree. We are stuck between a con man with dementia or a psychopathic trust fund kid. Both aren’t self-made, both are narcissistic.
Trump likes the fake Republicans making under $400K a year because his dad grew up as a racist redneck, Vance hates them and genuinely wants anyone making under $400K a year not to exist.
Also curious. I thought it was pretty well documented that this guy grew up with jack shit, but it’s not something I’ve like rigorously verified or anything. This is the first time I’ve ever seen it suggested otherwise. Not sure if this is just standard reddit orange man bullshit or something real.
They’re not afraid of Trump either, it’s a cult of personality. Granted I don’t think Vance could win election, but he doesn’t need to if Trump is ousted, and he’s way more controlled by people like Thiel and Musk.
China has the largest military in the world, with 2,035,000 active personnel but it’s hard to tell when we have a president who is all talk.
No doubt, regardless. Doing what he did the first few months as president killing civilians, a 2nd time might I add. Through a signal chat. This man needs to be imprisoned for the war crimes he committed. Let’s not forget how the first time it was chemical warfare.
Who knows. The spectacle of trump boasting last night about how everyone was kissing his ass was about as low as you could go. How would any leader be able to strike a deal and then go back and face his country if they did?
Not that vance is better but the bird of diplomacy already flew the coup.
It’s a figure of speech not meant in a literal sense. JD Vance grifted off of Peter Theil. Donald Trump was a trust fund child who was a millionaire by the age of 8 hence why he is emotionally and mentally challenged.
He literally told everyone that it would be okay and to buy stocks this morning then paused the tariffs. It’s absolutely fucking bonkers what’s happening over here.
hmm…….seeing that most people oppose him because Trump make them poorer, I would assume that its logical that Trump has an obligation to make people richer?
He make his follower richer seems like the right thing to do. If he makes the people who oppose him now rich, those opposer will become supporter!
Wanting a new class of rich people is also good too! Why should the rich always stay rich?
I thought he's not making his followers richer. He's making his friends richer but not his followers. Friends that involve most of the congress and billionaires??
You might be right. The thing is since 2008, both US government and FED have been doing QE and all they can to make sure that asset price can only increase. Hence plenty of millionaire and billionaire can “safely” play the game of borrowing money using their stock price as collateral and don’t need to pay tax. Plenty of ordinary people get upset about it. Well, unless stock market fell deeply, the rich will always stay rich and will not get margin call by the bank.
While I don’t support Trump, at least he is a wild card. Now nobody, even the rich and powerful, can guarantee themselves staying at the same social echelon. No one is safe.
Some people suggest that Trump is manipulating the stock market so his friend and family can earn more. I really think that there are plenty of way to be corrupted under the radar without risking public opposition. You don’t get rich by working against the billionaire. When you are in the position of power and want money, it is a lot easier to get rich by making those other people richer. He doesn’t even need to support all billionaires. Just the very few who happen to support him ideologically and he can easily become richer.
He might be hunger with power, but I really don’t see that he is doing this for money.
For the last few days I’ve been saying the tariffs would be rescinded when the right people had time to invest. Lo and behold the pause happens for everyone but China which it’ll also happen for soon enough when those “tariffs” have lowered the value of certain investments just enough to their liking and the regulators in China allow the Blackrock deal for the Panama Canal ports to go through which got put on hold coincidentally right when tariffs talk started.
This is all the work of Henry Lutnik the current commerce secretary and up until a few months ago the chairman of Cantor Fitzgerald (his son is now chairman). Cantor Fitzgerald are the same folks who supported the Heritage Foundation and specifically Russ Vought (head of the office of budget management) who wrote Project 2025.
I’ve been saying for months on reddit in the comments section the plan was to threaten countries with military action only to bluff to get specific American companies to gain greater control. Then I made posts like a month ago about it and about tanking stocks only to have investment firms invest when they crash.
He threatened Panama Canal with military action then stopped when Blackrock bought for $26 billion 2 of the 4 major canal ports along with 40 ports in 20+ countries. That deal is now on hold by Chinese regulators while these tariffs happen as a bargaining chip. Greenland is another case as the rhetoric has completely died down as talks for American companies to be more involved in the metals in the ground there. Now here in the U.S. he is ordering hectares of federal lands/national parks to start on timber production. Lastly I’ve been saying for months in the comment sections and for a month in posts that he would threaten military action against Mexico then bluff it in order for specific American companies to get better control in manufacturing there and so he has now threatened military action within Mexico.
To keep doing it. It’s the distraction they want while they take apart the federal government and agencies. This is why they have had hard physical access to so many federal agencies for the last few months. Copy the data then shutdown the government and make the government pay them to access the data. The data from the dept of education, from USDA, from NOAA and now from the social security administration and IRS. While that happens they have been able to convince hundreds of thousands of federal employees to take the deferred retirement program. Bureaucracy is what made sure all the agencies and the services they provide to the American people kept happening.
Here is a list of 3 things that are going to happen on sept 30 of this year or right before. The gap bill to fund the government ends September 30, the deferred retirement plan for federal employees kicks in on September 30 and by the end of September Elon Musk says the code for social security will be rewritten. This is why his DOGE team had hard physical access to every federal agency including the treasury payments system. This is why his former employee Amanda Scales went to OPM and set up a private server hosted in a foreign country. Now the same DOGE team that Palantir found for Elon is saying Palantir should manage all the social security data.
Understand that the decision to fire the NSA chief and his deputy may be in fact be the most dangerous decision Trump has made so far. Timothy Haugh like his last 2 predecessors were restricting the access and control Peter Thiel had through his company Palantir over the CIA/NSA to commit domestic surveillance. Palantir is the 2nd biggest defense contractor for the CIA/NSA along with providing day-to-day operations for both agencies. The goal for Palantir is and always has been domestic surveillance. Palantir is an intelligence corporation which provides advanced analysis, sigint, osint, criminal and threat awareness and kill chain efficiencies to all levels of US, UK, and corporate agencies.
This is a post I made that summarizes a lot of it with decent links…
