Financial Stable Genius Fails Biggly on Truth Social [1]
['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

The country would be better off if he just played golf and stayed out of the White House. But wherever he goes, he's still got that phone that he uses to post on Truth Social. How secure is that phone?
With SignalGate, what does Trump do on his? It still goes through a cell tower like anyone else, so somebody could listen in. What happens when he's on roaming?
How much national security has he been exchanging with Laura Loomer? How did she get Trump to fire "disloyal" National Security Council staffers and know about all of them?
Suddenly the questions are endless.
Let's get to the details. He was up early yesterday to make claims not based in reality about how great his tariffs were without mentioning them.
It was before the stock market opened. It was not at all reassuring. Especially in all caps.
"TO THE MANY INVESTORS COMING IN TO THE UNITED STATES..."
They just left.
"... INVESTING MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF MONEY, MY POLICIES WILL NEVER CHANGE."
Those massive investments were plans, not reality. You just changed the reason for them to do it. This is not what people want. Your policies are disastrous. They need to change before we dive straight into a depression.
"THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO GET RICH, RICHER THAN EVER BEFORE!!!"
Two days of crashing stock markets say that's a lie. You lie all the time, but this is way out of any grip on reality.
Then, he criticizes China. What did they get wrong?
China doesn't panic, they respond with outrage all the time.
"THE ONE THING THEY CANNOT AFFORD TO DO!"
I suppose that means something about panicking. Right now, they can afford to do anything, we can't. They are going to take over the world markets we just pissed away.
Rachel Maddow on Friday explained how this whole tariff idea came from Peter Navarro, and the expert he quotes in his books, Ron Verra. The name is an anagram of Navarro. He made up his expert to support his crackpot theories. We have Jared Kushner to thank for this because Trump asked him to find some support for what he wanted to do, and he found Navarro's book "Death By China," with the imaginary expert named Ron Verra. Doesn't that make you feel a whole lot better?
Once again, Trump sticks his nose in what he has no business doing. What's new?
"This would be a PERFECT time for Fed Chairman Jerome Powell to cut Interest Rates."
Your opinion on anything relating to finance has just been blasted for stupidity. Never again should you open your mouth.
"Energy prices are down, Interest Rates are down, Inflation is down..."
Which energy are you talking about? Gas hasn't gone down. Electricity is the same. "Interest Rates are down." Then why are you asking Powell to drop them? "Inflation is down..." Where? I'm not seeing anything telling me that. Saying it doesn't make it real. Delusional.
"CUT INTEREST RATES, JEROME, AND STOP PLAYING POLITICS!"
You should know, Donald, that playing politics is something the Fed never does. They work really hard at doing things so they don't cause instantaneous reactions. Unlike your insane tariffs. $6 trillion loss in the markets in two days. You played golf while ignoring the transfer of 4 American soldiers who perished in Lithuania, as well as the destruction of the economy.
Just before he went to play golf, Donald tried to assuage the business world with lies. How can he have seen what the market did yesterday and today and say this is good for America?
Then Trump did a 5 word, all caps post that says it all:
The weakest, most dangerous, lowest IQ president in history tells us that he's weak, because he just had the biggest "FAIL" in history.
"Big business is not worried about the Tariffs..."
Tell that to JP Morgan. They said you've made the worst financial decision in history.
"... because they know they are here to stay..."
That's why they are so worried. They will cause a global depression. Maybe even worse here than abroad. That "little pain" became screaming pain of 1,000 cuts without anesthesia.
"...BIG, BEAUTIFUL DEAL..."
That's all you understand. Deals. Transactions. No thought at all about what happens afterwards.
"... which will SUPERCHARGE our Economy..."
Sometimes supercharging an engine blows a gasket. The fact that the economy is taking a nosedive in just two days says you are not only delusional and living in your own. reality, but also criminally ignorant.
"Going on right now!!!"
That's the only thing I don't disagree with. And we've got to stop it immediately. There is no doubt.
This morning, Hands Off! Day, April 5th, Donald continued his delusional spiral in babbling insanity with more bad news.
He still thinks his tariffs are great because he won over China, and he did it in three days.
"China has been hit much harder than the USA, not even close."
"Not even close," is right. China will take over markets all over the world we were doing business in. The qualifying word is "were."
"They, and many other nations, have treated us unsustainable badly."
Sustainably refers to energy generation, which you know nothing about with your fetish for fossil fuels. You laughingly talk about "clean coal," When there is no such thing.
"We have been the dumb and helpless 'whipping post'..."
You can't even get your analogies right. The "whipping post" doesn't get whipped, it's the "whipping boy." "Whipping Post" is an Allman Brothers Band song.
"Already, more than FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS OF INVESTMENT, and rising fast!"
Those promises just got revoked. Why would anyone want to invest here when you just tanked their stock value? They no longer have that money to invest. Also, you just tanked the stock market in two days for $6 trillion. I hate to think of what it will be like on Monday. Dow Jones, S&P and Nasdaq aren't reporting after hours trading beyond a short flat line after 4pm Friday. I hope we don't flatline.
"THIS IS AN ECONOMIC REVOLUTION..."
And everyone is rebelling against it. You're about to see a different "revolution" with Hands Off! Saturday.
"... WE WILL WIN, HANG TOUGH, it won't be easy..."
Only the "won't be easy is right." We have no idea how far the stock market is going next week. How much more of the value of America can you destroy? If this was an idea to direct people's attention away from Signalgate, it worked.
"... the end result will be historic."
Another one you got right, just not in the way you want it. "Will be" is the wrong tense. The stock market crash is the most ridiculous self-inflected wound to the economy, ever. The end is not in sight. The three exclamation points at the end doesn't help. It just shows how desperate you are to change reality.
This may be Donald's last post for Saturday morning. But I doubt it, because of his insecurity about failure. He will continue to try to convince us to live in his fantasy world.
We're just lucky the stock market isn't trading today.
