Rally-style series of boasts does not include much in the way of plans to address affordability crisis
Donald Trump on Wednesday used a nationally-televised address to deliver a campaign-style rant in which he blamed his predecessor for the economic woes Americans are feeling a year into his presidency while offering little in the way of proposals to address the higher prices caused in large part by the massive tariffs he has placed on almost all American imports.
Speaking from the Diplomatic Reception Room at the White House, Trump opened by claiming to have “inherited a mess” that he was now “fixing.”
What followed was a partisan rant indistinguishable from the signature rallies that have been the centerpiece of his political movement, in which he rattled off a list of grievances while blaming his predecessor for the state of the country nearly a full year after he took the oath of office.
Looking over in horror from Britain - because we’ve still got our own version of this shit likely to come in a few years time. :-!
It seems to me Turmp’s real plan is to crash the economy so that the billionaires will be able to own everything. They will be able to buy it all dirt cheap in the coming recession. Billionaires get far richer in a crisis, it suits them fine since they already have the deepest pockets and are disaster capitalists who profit from instability and chaos.
Tmurp doesn’t care. He expects to live forever but even if he dies trying, it’ll still be his parting gift to his fellow rich bastards. His work is already done, the USA won’t recover from this for generations. He will be remembered forever as the greatest villain who ever lived in the history of the USA. He’s fine with that - he hates Everyone!
The AI bubble will pop so hard, not to even mention everything else going on. The money is all getting siphoned up in crypto and spirited away.
These fuckers are going to make an absolute killing, in more ways than one. They profit on chaos, despair and division.
I think it’s hard for people to imagine that an insane narcissistic demented president would deliberately wreck the global economy while telling the citizens it’s a golden age.
It’s all a distraction from the plundering of everything!
He’s got nothing to lose, a lot to gain, and he’s running out of time. The 1% are gonna own everything and fuck off to Argentina when the time comes.
No shit Sherlock!
Edit: At least, that seems to be the game plan from where I’m sitting.
I put this in a post elsewhere about his Golden Age comment.
It actually is a Golden Age. For billionaires and corporations.
And grifting pieces of shit like Donvict, who is able to rig the game. I’d love to see his family and his corporatist cronies imprisoned. Him, too, but I doubt he’ll live long enough to see any consequences if they ever come at all…
