Liberals Devastated As Stock Market Recovers

Local stockbroker and lifelong Democrat Dean Watter fell into utter despair today, tears falling from his eyes as he watched the stock market recover.

Friends and relatives expressed deep concern about Watter's anguish. "He had been so happy the last couple of days as the stock market was crashing," his coworker Steve Carson noted. "He was truly on cloud nine. He kept saying that Trump tanking the economy was probably the single greatest thing that ever happened to him."

However, as the stock market rallied historically on Wednesday, Watter's mood turned sour. "It was like someone flipped a light switch," Carson noted. "He kept looking at the stock market ticker going up and up, and he just kept sobbing harder and harder. There was no consoling him."

Watter reportedly went up to the roof to get some air but ended up hurling himself off the building shortly thereafter. Sources say Watter yelled "TRUMP WAS RIGHT! I'VE LOST EVERYTHIIIIIIIIIIIIING," as he plummeted towards Wall Street.

In a stroke of good fortune, Watter landed softly on a shipment of MyPillows bound for Trump Tower. Upon realizing he owed his life to Trump supporter Mike Lindell, Watter apparently became even more distraught and had to be sedated at the scene.

Haha it's tanking. But I'd love for the market not to crash, I dunno why you write this stuff when it's not accurate.

@sunsporter1649 Oh, look, some annualized returns! Did you even realize that those aren't index prices?? Hint: prices are denominated in dollars, or points, not percent.

@ElwoodBlues Hahahahaha gotta love it
Ah yes, the stock market's recovered—quick, someone fetch the bunting and the graph! Meanwhile, my ISA’s flatter than a pancake in a trouser press 😒

A stockbroker lands on a truck full of pillows? That’s not an economic miracle, that’s a deleted scene from Final Destination 6: Wall Street Wipeout. Not funny, not helpful, and quite frankly, a waste of soft furnishings.

I’ve slept on a MyPillow—it's like resting your head on a sponge soaked in broken dreams....

Trump brags in Oval Office that his billionaire pals made a killing in stocks after he pulled the plug on tariffs.

Trump brags to racing drivers that friend Charles Schwab made $2bn from stock market chaos.

President Donald Trump gleefully recounted how much money his billionaire pals made on the stock market after he suddenly suspended most of his worldwide tariffs.

Stocks zoomed Wednesday after Trump pulled the plug on the tariffs.

“THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!!” he urged on Truth Social shortly after the market opened and before he suspended the levies for 90 days just four hours later.

Stocks jumped more than 7 percent Wednesday within minutes of his announcement suspending the tariff for 90 days. The market ultimately closed more than 9 percent higher.

At the White House Oval Office that day, Trump pointed to a pair of billionaire visitors.

“He made $2.5 million, and he made $900 million! That’s not bad!” Trump said, pointing to financial investor Charles Schwab and then NASCAR team owner Roger Penske. The men were part of a visiting guest contingent of mostly racing notables.

Schwab is estimated to be worth $12.9 billion and Penske $5.6 billion.

Wednesday was the “best day ever” for billionaires as the world’s wealthiest people raked in $304 billion as the markets rocketed back up.

The Wednesday windfalls triggered accusations of market manipulation and even insider trading, as Trump critics accused the president of tipping off his well-heeled friends to buy, knowing that a suspension of the tariffs on his order would boost stock prices.

So, Biz....how many millions did you make yesterday?

DEAD WRONG!! AS USUAL!!

Stock market today: Dow slides 1,000 points, Nasdaq, S&P 500 clobbered as stocks resume Trump tariff sell-off

US stocks got crushed on Thursday, pulling back from the previous day's historic rally amid concerns that President Trump's broad trade offensive has become a direct confrontation with China.

The S&P 500 (GSPC) dropped almost 3.5%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (IXIC) tumbled 4.3%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) fell about 1,000 points, or 2.5%. The 10-year Treasury yield (^TNX), in high focus amid bond market whiplash, ended the day flat around 4.39%.

The major averages sank to session lows after the White House confirmed updated tariff figures released on Thursday brings the total increased levies on Chinese goods to 145%, not 125% as previously stated.

Why do you think it’s recovered?

Because it hasn’t.

Like any woeful communist trying to play successful capitalist, as the CCP's Xi continues to prove a failure after recently falling into Trump's Tariff Trap, Dean Watter took bad advice that amounts to He said/Xi said.
