    I’m having a hard time maintaining my atheism. Trump’s continued existence is extremely compelling proof that there is a devil to sell your soul to.

      Don’t gain faith. (Is that correct when I’d typically say “don’t lose faith”? lol)

      It’s just a cult, albeit a big, loud, obnoxious one. Nothing supernatural / biblical about it other than a coincidental resemblance.

        Exactly. They are literally out here trying to manufacture the rapture.

          They really are. The reason these people are so pro-Israel isn’t that they love Jews. it’s because the Bible says that in the end times, the Jews will return to Israel.

      Haha, and if you look in the diametrically opposite direction, you will find God! And clearly, God will kick the Devil’s ass, always has and always will! PS: this coming from an anti-thiest

    Powell and his team single handedly kept the country out of what would have been the worst depression in our countries history and made Trump look like a somewhat decent president for the economy. (Even though actual numbers show trumps policies were horrible)

    This time because Trump is attacking international markets there is nothing Powell can do to bail his ass put like during Covid.

    Trump claimed that the economy would slow unless Powell — who he referred to as “Mr. Too Late, a major loser” — lowered interest rates immediately.

    An amazing statesman.

      I mean, the crashes are intentional, so he is successful in this instance.

    Is it time for the biweekly stock crash? I wonder if it’ll bounce or plummet next week.

    Eventually the pump and dump scheme will have to become unsustainable, wouldn’t it?

      We’re already at the post where the rest of the world is sick of this bullshit and is thinking about other trade alliances and alternatives to the dollar as reserve currency.

      That’s not a great sign for growth in the US.

        alternatives to the dollar as reserve currency

        What’s the one used by like 30 countries in Europe already? Can we use that one for, I dunno, international trade?

    Another move to cause a dip to buy in.

    Or he’s just stupid.

    It’s like Poe’s Law, I can’t tell anymore.
