    Yeah this isn’t his best boast. After we saw the stock market tanking insanely I was shocked to see it resemble normal growth for a time. Wrecking the economy with moronic tariffs and then restoring it briefly by backing off isn’t something you can brag about

      He hasnt even gotten to the truly moronic part of instituting actual tariffs yet. All the tanking that occurred previously was due to the threat of tariffs. Imagine how fucked the market and economy would be if every tariff he threatened actually came to fruition

      Yeah but if you can time the dips and rises, you can make shitton of money, which is exactly what his cronies are doing. Everytime fatass announces a tariff, the market reacts, and then soars when he backs off. It’s pure market manipulation.
