    I know the headline here is in the confusingly concise headline-speak, but I’m pretty sure the people who have been killed is a bigger loss than your imaginary money machine having a number drop.

    Oh wait, they’re brown and/or poor, MAGA doesn’t care.

      Shit they don’t care about little white girls being raped either, I don’t understand where they draw the line… Oh, that’s right, there is no line and they will never draw one. These are not good people with principles. Deplorables is too kind.

    It’s interesting to see a situation he can’t fully control the narrative on. I’d argue most things in the US he’s managed to via government pressure or media manipulation (yes, even the Epstein files).

    But this time, on an international stage he doesn’t have complete control and man, you can tell really burns him up. He really does think that not only should complete, godly control nationally, it should extend globally.

      He literally thought everyone bowed to the US because we were, like, the king of countries or something. Look at all the alliances he burned and expected to continue supporting us anyways.

    As someone who doesn’t understand the arcane and subtle inner workings of “wall street” I’m just going to ask the obvious: why TF can’t wall street people just ignore Trump’s lies like everyone else?

    Or is it just because everyone is bedding down on Thursday night thinking “yeah Trump might tweet something when he’s on the shitter in the morning so better reduce my holdings and see what happens”

      Every rational person stopping for a minute while every stupid crazy mark reacts to Trump is enough to move the market.

      Much of the trading on Wall Street isn’t done by humans, and what remains of human trades are increasingly influenced by automatic tools. These tools and algorithms aren’t aware of context; they base their trades on moment to moment vibes, basically. They tap various news sources, social media posts, etc for signals that indicate a market direction.

        Also, a lot of trades are based on what you’re expecting other people to do. If everyone trades that way then nobody is trading based on reality.

      Traders react to what they think is going to happen, not what is currently happening. Also they usually do not trade as emotionally, but rather based on processed information.
      It becomes clear that this war is going to last and oil supplies will be further delayed, lowering economical prospects worldwide, which causes the market to react. A volatile market also creates some opportunities for profit as traders can gain both when the market value increases and decreases, depending on how they are trading (although it also increases risk). If you are skeptical, market manipulation is also a possibility as Trump administration is already being investigated for this.

      Very sadly, Trump is only interested in personal gain, buying and selling base upon his choices. The rest of the US is going to be recovering for decades

      It’s sad but true: until such a time as the US markets bounce back, Trump really did rape those children and try to cover it up. About 3500 more points to go.

        About 3500 more points to go.

        It’s 4100 right now.

        We are getting close to 45k. Let’s see if Trump keeps up the good work.
