    The United States is falling fast from global power to 3rd world banana republic, with our very own wannabe dictator that is destroying our nation's reputation and economy in one fell swoop:

    MAGA was breathlessly going on about how the dollar was going to be replaced as the world currency under the dems. Now it is happening thanks to tRumps self inflicted wounds. Thanks idiots.

    Just remember how bad it was back in January under Biden. Sure there was a record stock market, record GDP, record employment, 20 year record dollar index, but there was no one calling trans people freaks, civil war successionists were not being honored with statues and military base names, Iwo Jima and Tuskegee black soldiers had their profiles somewhere on the internet. Utter disaster!

    Before Trump was inaugurated the US appeared to be moving into recession

    Definitely seems like it's because He's a liar.

    Either that or He just constantly says things that aren't true.

    MAGA, can any of you explain?

    the urge is to reduce the massive complexity of the world market into 1 tweet. Ain't that simple.

    There is no complexity here at all. IT is a bunch of criminals running a MASSIVE market manipulation scam in front of everyone, enriching themselves on the backs of everyone else's loss and misery. There is zero reasons to complicate the explanation of this.

    It really is that simple. Lose the "safe haven" debt status and we are in a crisis that could send us into a true depression

    Doubling down? Still incorrect. 95% of US citizens couldn’t explain bond yields, or how bonds themselves work, or how bonds impact mortgage rates to credit card rates when selloffs occur.

    75% of USA can’t balance a checking account

    Democrats blaming Trump for what they did to America.

    Title of a March 2009 thread on Too Hot:
    Will Barack Obama Turn America onto a Banana Republic?

    And that's exactly what happened.

    What's next, Trump gets blamed for all of the illegals Democrats pipelined into the United States?
