CEOs Implored To Keep The Faith As Trump Barrels America Toward Recession
"Well, Mr. President, you promised us an economic boom and we're all just a little confused and also concerned that --"
"Excuse me! Excuse me. These are boom times. Think of it: BOOM! All your sh-t's gone."
Donald Trump on Tuesday was scheduled to host the Business Roundtable at The White House, where Wall Street bankers and a handful of other people who give even less of a damn about Main Street than Trump does (assuming that's possible) were invited to query the president on tariffs and othe
What’s next? Will Trump open a GoFundMe campaign to “keep Elon rich”? He’s been going broke in a (not so) slow motion. A couple more months in politics should do it.
“Insane-o-thon” captures it all brilliantly.
Hopefully we are on the verge of an inextinguishable lithium fire like no one has ever seen, or else we should prepare ourselves for Trump to bring back electricity.
From the Daily Beast,
“While investors watched in horror as the stock market plunged on Monday as a result of President Donald Trump’s sprawling trade wars, he was busy reposting praise for his administration on Truth Social.
“The president posted over a hundred times between noon and 6 p.m. on Monday while the Nasdaq fell 4 percent, marking its worst day since 2022. The S&P 500 dropped almost 3 percent.

“The hashtag “#stockmarketcrash” trended on Musk’s own social media platform, X, as the public reacted to the market’s nosedive.
“Trump was also online, making 25 posts on Truth Social in the span of six minutes just before noon. He took a break and returned in the late afternoon to make over a hundred more posts.”

The man is prolific. Imagine writing 1000 tweets, buying a tesla, raising steel and aluminum tariffs to 50% and still having the energy to lower them back to 25% all in one day. The Trumpinator is on fire, oh wait a minute, that’s the economy imploding.
I couldn’t help myself- I burst out laughing at this picture. Hilarious, frightening and psychotic- all conveyed in this fantastic visual.
So much “meaty” material… and you continue to deliver at the highest level, surpassing all expectations (which are already pretty high- because you have spoiled us). Thanks, H.
In a weird way, it made me think of one of my favorite Big Bang Theory episodes- when Amy and Howard are riding in the car (Howard is behind the wheel) and singing Neil Diamond songs.

Trump absolutely is not buying a “brand new Tesla”. (Does he even know their model names? I’m guessing not)
The man can’t even drive a car and thinks you have to show ID to buy groceries. But his lie reversed the Tesla bleeding, for now.
Unfortunately, I think the title has the wrong -ession, this is likely the start of a multi decade depression.
Good news is after that things will get better!!!
