The response will take a long time to come into focus, but make no mistake, this incident will do long-term damage to America's standing in the world. No other country trusts us about anything any more.

Many in our country are stupid enough to delude themselves about HitlerPig, but foreign governments aren't buying it one bit. They have intelligence agencies, too, and they know that he is not only an unrepentant and even enthusiastic traitor to his own country, he is a traitor to the entire Democratic Free World.

The worse he gets, the less the rest of the world will want to work with our government in any way. Eventually, we are likely to get hit with crippling international sanctions.

But he'll be using all of it to enrich himself and his friends, so he won't care at all.

Make no mistake, he wasnt making this up as he went along, he knew exactly what he was doing the entire time. The basic outline was in place - announce tariffs, make them really big, get everybody crazy, crash the market, buy options on the decrease, buy stocks at the bottom, and ride them up on the delirious news that the tariffs have been suspended.

He may have improvised the real-time details like a jazz player, but the basic chord progression was always chugging along in the background.

This is his 3rd round of this, with each increasingly larger. This one threatened to boil over, so he kicked it down the road 90 days, but he is pathologically incapable of resisting his greed, so he probably won't wait that long.

That was back when they would weaponize celebrity prosecutions to keep everyone else in line - Martha Stewart for insider trading, Willie Nelson for tax evasion, etc. When the rubes see an occasional celebrity get punished, they get back into line like good little serfs.

Multiple times. It has not grown on me.

Why are they rebooting "Minority Report?" The Tom Cruise version was excellent, we don't need a new one.

I have been sayiing it for a long time - being MAGA is a sign of a serious character flaw, even mental illness. I will not be friends with a MAGA, they are untrustworthy to the core. These are the people like the Germans, who got along great with their neighbors, and when the Nazis came along, they sold out those same friendly neighbors.

If you have a MAGA "friend," they will betray you eventually.

While this article says Fox News is claiming he capitulated, they also had Ingraham and Hannity praising him for his brilliant financial/ economic brinkanship.

Why is Fox News playing both sides, or are they? Why float both ideas, that he capitulated, and that he's a genius?

Because if people are discussing which is true, or even FoxNews' dissonance, they aren't focusing on the really important TRUTH - that this was ANOTHER obvious case of market manipulation, the third monthly case since his Inauguration.

The next time he does it (and there will be a next time), we should just describe it as HitlerPig "having his monthly tariff period."

I predicted this perfectly from the beginning, and you want to know how I knew it?

Because this is the third time he's done the exact same thing. He's done it every month since his Inauguration. It's like his own personal menstrual cycle.

People seem to forget that we've already been through this twice, and yet we're surprised by this. And he's going to do it again, too. This time he did a 90 day pause, so maybe he feels like this one got a bit overheated, and needs extra time to cool down before reheating it. Or maybe not, you never can tell with this psychopath. The only thing you can count on is that hes going to pull another con soon.

If we can't have a collective memory of HitlerPig's treason and criminality longer than a month, we are never going to be able to build enough outrage momentum to crush the MAGA scourge.

They can try to avoid politics, but politics isn't going avoid them.

They are frightened because as immigrants, you are among the most vulnerable. HitlerPig is not respecting any laws, especially immigration laws. He's even trying to invalidate Birthright Citizenship, which is in the Constituion, and a concept that nearly every government in the world respects.

If he won't even respect the citizenship of someone who was born in America, he isn't going to respect the rights of ANYONE born somwhere else, no matter what their legal status is, given by some other president.

I have close friend who came here from Venezuela, got her green card, then became a citizen in 2024. She feels safe, because she's a citizen now, but i don't trust these MAGA Traitors to respect that.

He has been especially vocal about hating Venezuelans. I think its because we have granted special status to Venezuelans, but HitlerPig respects Maduro because he was able to turn his thriving successful country into a starving dictatorship, which is HitlerPig's greatest ambition.

The ones were hearing from are the ones who survived. How many are we not hearing from because they died?

It's so obvious that this was deliberate market manipulation from the beginning. People seem to forget that he's done this monthly since his innauguration. Its like its his menstrual cycle or something.

Only a corrupt president could do this type of market manipulation, so of course he would exploit that opportumity ruthlessly.

And this isn't the last time, he will do it again. He announced a 90 day pause, so maybe he's going to slow it down, since this one got so hot it threatened to boil over.

They have to create some vague laws that nearly anyone could run afoul of, so they can pick and choose who to oppress. Basically, we'll all be criminals, and they can detain the ones that they hate the most.
