The next time any Trump stooge says "Stock Market"

[WSHazel]

Ask them to compare it to foreign markets in dollar terms. The rest of the world’s stock markets are crushing the US market since the start of 2025.

1. Ask them when the DOGE check arrives. *

2. Correct but

For the normies out there that don’t understand international finance at all it’s all just about the number. They don’t care that the dollar has plummeted in value they just see the number going up. I remember trying to explain to a local company president several years ago why inflation wasn’t Biden’s fault but the fact that we created nearly 20% of all money in our country’s history under Trump at the Fed. He just very bluntly said “well I disagree with your theory” and went on about the cost of gas.

5. Any American can buy a Europe or Global ETF or index fund

Chart a few foreign index ETFs against SPY and you will see Trumponomics in graphical form.

3. Just ask how things are going at the supermarket.

Prices are up there as well.

4. Cash flow

As long as the RMDs cover expenses, vacations, car leases and daycare for the grandchildren, they don’t care. They won their personal races and they’ll not be denied their time in the sun. Be grateful we’re leaving you all this second hand stuff.

6. As One Born In 1949, I Don't Look Forward To Death, But I Won't Miss.....

Sentiments such as these.

7. I checked my address in the U.S.P.S. alert system. My $2,000 tariff check isn't showing up.

9. The market has ONE really good day...

...and Trumpies FLOOD the RW media apparatus.

It usually goes down the next day or two. Yes, overall the trend line goes up, but they treat one-day rallies as "proof" all is going well.

10. Most of his new voters are living in the van down by

The river, so the cries of the stock market really registering with them, I'm sure.

12. It's the new distraction/deflection tool

Instead of screaming SQUIRREL, we can count on Republicans to scream STOCK MARKET whenever they can't or won't answer a question.

However, it needs practice and nuance to make it work. Bondi's application was a total failure, as in making her look and sound like a total jerk.

So sad.
