I keep thinking about how during the campaign, "somebody" was telling #Biden:

"Don't say, "The economy isn't as bad as they're saying. People don't like being told their pain isn't real."

But all they did was give credence to #DonTheCon's false claim "the economy is a disaster!"

Now #PizzaTheHut is in office, is destroying the #economy, and trying to tell everyone, "It's not as bad as it looks. Just hang tight and give it time."

If Americans can't afford your product b/c #TheOrangeMenace made them too expensive, foreign corporations will just look for customers elsewhere.

And *smart* countries (#China) looking to destroy the American economy (even more than #DonnieDumbass is doing on his own), they'll make it cheap & easy to sell in *their* country so that FEWER products are sent to the U.S., creating a shortage that causes prices to rise, tossing the U.S. into a deep #Recession. #DisasterPresidency

@cryptadamist
I pray these #CryptoBros aren't THAT nucking stupid. #cryptocurrency would simply be another form of currency.

Replacing one currency with another wouldn't change anything that's happening on #WallStreet. The #DOW didn't crash b/c the dollar suddenly lost value.

If the price of a loaf of bread goes from $2 to $100, it wouldn't be any cheaper if you pay in #Crypto. #TooStupidForPolitics #DisasterPresidency

Prez Clinton's chief economic advisor Larry Summers pulled all the crackpot quackery together. There's a clear theme running through the T**** mindset: #DisasterPresidency

OH DEAR LORD.

No details. I don't want to spoil it. #DisasterPresidency

Peter Navaro on one of the #SundayShows this morning ACTUALLY SAID:

"[T****'s #tariffs] would generate $6T in income [for the United States.]"

(Ignoring for a moment that the stupid SoB CLEARLY still doesn't understand how tariffs work)... THE MARKET *JUST LOST* $6T IN TWO DAYS!

So when this mess is over & done with, after God-knows how many years & alienating all of our allies, we will have BROKEN EVEN??? #JFC. #TooStupidForPolitics #DisasterPresidency

#SundayShowdown
"We are only in the first few days of this. Give it time. These are 'reciprocal' #tariffs… and I emphasize he word 'reciprocal'."

#FoxnewsSunday keeps using that word over & over.

NO, these are NOT "reciprocal" tariffs. Whether the other country imposes a #tariff on us IS NOT EVEN PART OF THE EQUATION. They are imposing a tariff on everyone we have a trade DEFICIT with. And if we have no data, there's a blanket minimum 10% tariff. #TooStupidForPolitics #DisasterPresidency

#SundayShowdown

"No one is losing more money than #ElonMusk [as a result of these policies.]"

- Fox host Shannon Breem (falsely) implying #TheElongatedMuskrat is *selflessly* devising policies "he knew" would hurt him financially.

NO. #Musk thought these policies would result in an economic *boom*, and now that he's seeing he was wrong, is now breaking with #DonnieDumbass on #tariffs. #DonTheCon #DisasterPresidency

#BlondiBondi:

"My advice: If you are a Gang Member in the U.S., I would Self #Deport right now b/c we are coming for you."

Can SOMEONE inform our #AG that NOT EVERY GANG MEMBER IS FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY. #DeportToWhere #AmericanCitizens #TooStupidForPolitics #DisasterPresidency

@VeroniqueB99
To understand the T**** Admin, #Republicans, and everything they are doing, one need only realize:

THEY. ARE. TRYING. TO. #PRIVATIZE. EVERYTHING.
(#Education, #HHS, #NIH, #FEMA, #NOAA...)

And if it costs those corporations money (like increasing wages), they block it. #ItsAllAboutTheBenjamins #DisasterPresidency #Privatization

@carnage4life
THE ONLY WAY AN ECONOMIC DISRUPTION OF THIS MAGNITUDE MAKES ANY SENSE is if the economy had crashed (ala: The Great Depression) and we were desperate to create tens of millions of jobs.

But instead, under #Biden, #unemployment fell as low as 3.4% two years ago this month, and was still just 4.1% when he left.

We don't need to engage in desperate measures to create jobs when we were already at or near full employment. #UnnecessaryChaos #DisasterPresidency

@briankrebs
A lot of us were saying in 2024 that "If #TheOrangeMenace is reelected, we might never have another election again."

It was dismissed as hyperbole. I'm not even sure *I* believed it 100%.

But it's the old question of "who polices the police?" on steroids. They now control EVERY institution that we'd otherwise depend upon to "investigate": The #FBI, #SCotUS... and thanks to a cowed & sycophantic #GOP, not even a "House Oversight Committee" to rein them in. #DisasterPresidency

@mattblaze
Who TF conducts #TopSecret military plans using their personal cellphones???

THERE IS ONLY ONE REASON TO DO THAT, and that is if they are DELIBERATELY trying to avoid being DOCUMENTED by the WH Communications System. #NoPaperTrail #CriminalPresidency #DisasterPresidency

@luckytran
After the debacle of (mis)handling of #Covid during his 1st term where 405K people died in 11 months & crashed the economy…

…one would THINK given a second chance to not make the same mistake again they'd be going all out to make sure history didn't repeat itself with another #pandemic. #BirdFlu #Measles

BUT NO. Instead, they double-down, appoint a #MentallyIll #antivaxer to run HHS, discontinue "free home test kits" for Covid, and deny the economy ever crashed. #DisasterPresidency.

@br00t4c
The alternative is to admit they were wrong and admit guilt for their child's (unnecessary) death. #antivaxers #measles #idiots #ChildAbuse #TooStupidForPolitics #DisasterPresidency

"Is #SocialSecurity a #Ponzi scheme?"

No. The clearest evidence of that is that in a 'Ponzi Scheme', the only one to get rich is "the guy at the top"... who in this case would be the government.

#Republicans are constantly (falsely) telling us, "Social Security is going broke." #SorryElon #TooStupidForPolitics #DisasterPresidency
