He’s just going to pillage the US taxpayer to keep himself loaded while living off of us for free.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Yeah, but Obama was presidenting while Blah. Since little d is a DEI hire, it doesn't count.
Like fuck he's not.
He thinks the stock market is his popularity metric.
That's why he again walked back the tariffs and pushed them out... AGAIN.
What a flip flop
Well, that's something we can influence if we stopped buying new shit.
No no - part of the reason he’s crashing the market is because he’s pretty much definitely telling his portfolio people to short EVERYTHING right now and then buy at the bottom.
The fucker who used to constantly talk about the stock market being the gauge of his success suddenly doesn't care its tanking? Who would have guessed?
He's lying.
Because he can't see past correlation to causation.
... Not that any sane person actually expected better, of course.
~~But the fact he's caving on auto manufacturing tariffs means he is correctable. A good, if meager signal. Although, I can't imagine how many showers I'd need to feel ok about whatever I had to say to or do to sway him.~~
On second thought, fuck those corpos too. They're not doing it for the right reasons either. If it happens to protect a few jobs in the short term, then good, I suppose. But I don't for a second expect there won't also be layoffs to further pad executive bonuses in the name of "shareholder value".
The guy who walked out at the peak of COVID deaths to celebrate the stock market crossing 30,000 in his first term is suddenly not interested? He must have thought that made him look real good. Something going wrong now? Sick failing fucker.
Hmm yes he is totally not conducting market manipulation.
Gotta say my portfolio is not looking as strong as it did a few weeks ago
The amount of denial on The Hill is certainly flooding the valley. Get ready for a bumper crop. Too bad anything good will rot in the fields while attracting rats and snakes.
What a chucklefuck.
