Global markets in turmoil as Trump tariffs wipe $2.5tn off Wall Street

He'd probably still win that election...

His handler's goal is to dismantle the US. He doesn't know what he's doing, he just knows he gets to sniff the mushroom every time he follows orders
-
The biggest take away I see from this is how easy it was to remove $2.5 trillion dollars .... yet the world didn't end.
-
It's always unclear whether he's deliberately destroying the West in the service of Russia, or whether he's just unwittingly destroying the West in the service of Russia. That's his great mystique.

That's an insult to morons. He's a fuckwit, a sentient turd.

What about the morons who ran a candidate with very public dementia?

America did it with Reagan's last term.
-
It's not a good comparison, though, as Reagan could still publicly present as a cognitively-functioning person.
Biden couldn't. The June debate wasn't the first time we'd seen his brain melt in public. It was just the worst.
-
So much winning!

It is a good comparison ... you just don't like it because it doesn'tagree with your confirmation bias.
Yet Reagan's "Alzheimer's Controversy" recently resumed, CBS News noted yesterday, after Ron Reagan suggested, in a just-released book, that the former president "may have shown signs of Alzheimer's disease as early as three years into his first term."
In My Father at 100, Ron Reagan writes of a "growing sense of alarm over his father's mental condition." He recalls the presidential debate with Walter Mondale, October 1984, in which his father seemed lost and unable to articulate himself. In "Ronald Reagan had Alzheimer's while president, says son," a short piece on the fracas by the British Guardian, Ron Reagan is quoted as saying: "My heart sank as he floundered his way through his responses, fumbling with his notes, uncharacteristically lost for words. He looked tired and bewildered."
... Lesley Stahl, in another new book on Reagan, describes a visit with her family to the White House in 1986, ending her time as a White House correspondent. She writes,
- "Reagan didn't seem to know who I was. He gave me a distant look with those milky eyes and shook my hand weakly. Oh, my, he's gonzo, I thought. I have to go out on the lawn tonight and tell my countrymen that the president of the United States is a doddering space cadet." -

Putin could not possibly have any dirt on Trump that is worse than the publicly available knowledge we have of his personality and activities. If he's working with Russia it's because he wants to, not because he's being coerced.

I'm only invested in broad market from all over the world, everything is down on average.
-
Yeah. That's how sycophantic the Republicans are.

As long as American products are not competitive in international markets, be it because of price, quality, or marketability, there will always be a trade deficit.
Just take cars. The US produces cars basically for the American market only. No other country produces or uses cars like that. But they all produce cars they like, that other countries like, and even Americans like.
American car companies cannot expect to sell goods to other countries that simply have no markets in those countries.
