1. trump will say recession is short-term pain and we'll all be wealthy in a year or so. Many believe him.

There are a lot of poor — and those heading there — that will get hurt.

5. His rich buddies can become even more powerful in a damaged market

Once share prices drop enough, it'll be even easier for those already wealthy to purchase controlling interests.

Meanwhile, those of us dependent on investment funds of various kinds are going to "go through some things," as a famous asshole once flatulated.

6. Could be. But most of his rich buddies depend on lots of people buying food, housing, cars, entertainment, etc.

When trump screws that up, they’ll shut him down, as will GOPers needing to get re-elected in midterms. At least I hope.

Republicans in Washington hide in their offices with their thumbs up their asses wondering what we can do.

On 6 June 1944 and beyond Young Americans knew what to do. They saved liberty and Justice for all. 19 and 20 year olds (many of whom died or were seriously wounded) kicked Hitlers ass. Lindsay Graham and his ilk whine about how someone somewhere is unfair to a convicted felon. At long last republicans do any of you have any decency?

9. Thanks, Turd. Fuck you to every Republican asshole who voted for this insane criminal!

Maybe, the senile and mentally fucked-up, moronic Turd can babble incoherently some more about his tariffs and his so-called "Liberation Day" coming on Wednesday? It should be real interesting what the senile, old rotting Pumpkin Head has to say about this colossal economic fuck-up which he, alone, now personally owns?

Thinking out loud here, I wonder what the corporate bond markets are going to do for the corporate credit bonds for the financing of Ford Motor Company credit bonds and General Motors Corporation credit bonds to finance new car sales given 10% and possibly 25% tariff price increases on said vehicles?

Can any Republican say "Panic?" Can any Republican say "Recession?" Can any Republican accept any "responsibility" for this insane tariffs policy of the Turd?
Is there any "decency" anywhere in the Republican Nazi Party?

Thanks, Turd. Fuck you to every Republican asshole who voted for this insane criminal!

10. Far East and EU gold markets are already up 1 per cent
Mon Mar 31, 2025, 02:45 AM
Monday

And the EU markets don’t even open for another 20 minutes. Dollar is “sorta” stabile at €1=$1.082.

Gold going up like that is a sign of unwelcome instability. $3118 an ounce is a new world record. Burglaries will probably not be far behind.

11. EU stock markets opened down. Lately they've been rising while US sinking

World wide recession possible, triggered by US recession possibly leading, but mostly by tRump-Hoover tariff taxes and retaliations.
