Must have been a fluke that the markets are down because of his tariffs. They just can't handle all our winning.

    I mean, I'm surprised our economy hasn't crumbled, so it's not technically untrue

    It definitely shattered my expectations, and they were low to begin with

    Yeah this isn't his best boast. After we saw the stock market tanking insanely I was shocked to see it resemble normal growth for a time. Wrecking the economy with moronic tariffs and then restoring it briefly by backing off isn't something you can brag about

    He hasnt even gotten to the truly moronic part of instituting actual tariffs yet. All the tanking that occurred previously was due to the threat of tariffs. Imagine how fucked the market and economy would be if every tariff he threatened actually came to fruition

    Trump says [...] Data says otherwise.

  • I mean. It did. Just not in a positive direction. I was expecting their economic and fiscal policies to have catastrophic implications, but even I’m impressed by how jaw-droppingly idiotic they’re being, and how quickly everything is starting to come unraveled.

    We need a new term for this level of willful ignorance.

    We need a new term for this level of willful ignorance.

    Here are a few: "Unfitness for office." "Criminal incompetence." "Deliberate economic sabotage." "Dictatorship of the scum of the earth." "Kakistocracy."

    You can negatively "shatter expectations"

    Trump fell into his current position of power simply because of his ability to effortlessly frame the fall of the US Empire as putting America first. While in reality, it's all just a distraction to cover for billionaires hoarding more and more wealth while the rest of us continue to struggle more and more.

    Well, yeah. Anyone who had expectations is now feeling shattered.

    It did shatter expectations. It’s supposed to be good, but it’s crap.

    Love to say it, even hard core republicans I know are regretting voting for the orange clown. Just yesterday one of them told me that. Trump’s reality distortion field is starting to fail.

    Usually I dismiss thilese anecdotes but I am experiencing it too. Our company had a meeting with all of the field techs/machinists to explain how the "no tax on overtime" really works and I'll tell you what, it's not exactly "no tax on overtime". Considering we basically run on overtime that rug pull may have been the last straw for a few of the red hats I know.

    Clearly, he's talking about the expectations he had for himself vs going to jail. I'm just as surprised.

    Well, if he expected a total Crash and instead got only mild recession, it still "shatters expectations"

    I expect all his policy to be shit. So when it's always shit I'm never surprised. Because he is a grifting carpetbagging sack of flaming shit. A tragic waste of functioning organs. The world's most notorious oxygen thief. Also he is a fucking moron. If there was a photo negative of Mensa where stupid motherfuckers competed to see who the dumbest motherfucker of all the dumb motherfuckers was, he'd be it's lifetime appointed leader.

    Funny you should bring up Mensa.... Not the brightest people, more like a bizarre cult. He would fit right in.

    Well, the way economic growth was stunted by Trumps failures probably shattered his inflated expectations.

    The crazy part is it really doesn’t shatter anyone’s expectations. Everyone expected it. Either the magidiots already believing it’s great and everyone else who knew it would be shit and we weren’t surprised.
