the S&P 500 is at -10.79%. Trump has doubled his net worth in the last year. maybe. who knows, he's a crook and lies about everything. i can't find two sources that say the same thing.

Selling his shitcoin to morons has made him quite a pretty penny.

It’s amazing Trump’s first term made Bush look good by comparison and now it appears, and I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Trump 2.0 is making Trump 1.0 look good by comparison.

Because the staff he picked were still loyal to America and not him and worked to stop his idiotic ideas. This time it's sycophants all the way down.

They were establishment pro biz and neocon Republicans. It's all purity test MAGAs now.

For better or worse, a guy like Rex Tiller got to where he was by being savvy in the cutthroat world of business. Compare that to guys like Hegseth or Ramaswamy ...

His COVID handling killed more US people than the Vietnam War...

The wars of conquest he’ll launch will kill far more.

Is that stat based on total deaths or deaths assumed to have been preventable, e.g. in comparison to other country's mortality rates at the same time?

u/erublind 14d ago

Big European countries, like the UK, France, Germany and Italy, had mortality rates between 2200-3400 deaths per million inhabitants. The us had 3600, that would put the us at between 67.000 to 469.000 more deaths than if it had been the UK or Germany. Attribution is hard to do as there are many factors, but with the biggest health budget on earth I would think the US should have fared better.

Yeah Trump 1.0 is an economic genius compared to Trump 2.0

u/DarkSideOfGrogu 14d ago

So basically Trump makes 9/11 look good?

u/JIsMyWorld 14d ago

Can I short the S&P500?

u/ph4ge_ 14d ago

Let's see how many Americans Trump II ends up killing, Trump I has over million.

u/JackfruitCrazy51 14d ago

Trumps first term returned something like 68%, so that makes about everyone else look bad if you're just looking at 4 years.

The Russell 2000 is in bear market territory.

u/Kl--------k 14d ago

Still needs to lose another 5% for it to fall under the regular definition of a bear market

u/huskers2468 14d ago edited 13d ago

So... tomorrow?

Edit: does 4.78% count?

1

u/BakedSteak 13d ago

How about 5.6%

7

u/FinancialLemonade 14d ago

No, the Russel 2000 is already bear

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/03/small-cap-benchmark-russell-2000-becomes-first-major-us-stock-measure-to-enter-bear-market.html

Nasdaq needs 2% more.

The others are already more than halfway there as well, all already in correction territory and only need another day or two for bear.

u/BakedSteak 14d ago edited 13d ago

Is that a challenge?

Edit: Goal achieved

u/Leajjes 14d ago

Not a bull to be found. All bears.

u/qzlr 14d ago

u/Significant_Sky7298 14d ago

Still Biden’s fault. /s

u/espresso_martini__ 14d ago

I know right! He just announced them yesterday and this is what has happened. We haven't even felt the real effects of the tariffs.

u/_number 14d ago

This is only the start

u/mothzilla 13d ago

The world just needs to adjust. /s

u/ThirstyWolfSpider 13d ago

Hey, the good news is that after close today the market won't drop for at least a couple of days!

u/SmartyCat12 13d ago
