Trump crashed the stock market on purpose

@exchrist Why do you think he's attacking the IRS?

@LordShadowfire if he has never paid taxes\if there are no tax returns on record is he really a citizen?

@exchrist The rest of the world would have to be really dumb and go along with it; the debt won't be forgiven, especially in case of insolvency/default

$36.2T in debt is unsustainable if the world stops buying US treasure bonds and, at the same time, the economy is in bad shape. The military, too, depends on the country not defaulting.

@Elessar given 36.2 t in debt how is Americas fed funding wars building tanks etc. The money is fake anyway? And the government is bankrupt "by default" already.
Its untrodden territory for sure.

@exchrist Thus far, the US could've always turned on the money printers and the USD wouldn't devalue too much because the rest of the world kept buying bonds and keeping reserves. If the rest of the world stops to, suddenly you're in Argentina/late-USSR territory. No chance you can expand military capacity when people are starving

@sunsporter1649 Trump reposted a link on his Truth Social platform Friday morning to the minute-long video which opened: “Trump is crashing the stock market…this month, but he’s doing it on purpose.”

The short video, which promotes several falsehoods or misinformed claims, offers insight into Trump’s thinking behind his new tariffs widely panned among economists and across Wall Street, leading a downright bloodbath in the market, as the S&P 500 index cratered 4.8% Thursday, the worst drop in nearly five years, followed by an even more painful 6% loss Friday
