100%, its incredibly obvious.

No, I was watching the bond market. The bond market is very tricky. I was watching it, but if you look at it now, it’s — it’s beautiful. The bond market right now is beautiful. But, yeah, I saw last night where people were getting a little queasy.”

Hard to believe these are US Presidential quotes. Sounds more like some teenage barista smoking pot.

If it quacks like a duck and walks like a quack I mean duck... well obviously that couldn't just be a duck right? It HAS to be a dog right? Like... I know it looks 100% like a duck and everything but we aren't the kind of place that just lets ducks run things. Trust me I have some friends who know a lot about dogs and they are sure that is a dog!

Nah it is definitely a dog.

Just like every single politician. Ever heard of chuck and nancy?

These people are all trash.

Yeah, no shit. His first term was 100% him playing golf and using the treasury as his personal piggy bank, why the fuck would we expect anything different this time around? Wake me up when someone actually does something about it.

I mean it's not like he went on Truth Social shortly before he announced the pause and told people it was a good time to buy stocks or anything... right?

Arrest his corporate benefactors for insider trading. They’ll find out loyalty is only one way, or worst case scenario pardoning clear criminal behavior goes on record

If the conman-in-chief somehow made himself above every law, above Constitutional checks and balances, we have to start by removing the criminals that enable and support that, or worst case scenario take every opportunity to highlight it to low information voters

He can only flout the law because he has supporters that enable criminal behavior. Remove them and this all comes tumbling down

100% he is making bank off this. So are his buddies. What DOGE was all about, setting up the US Gov't to be fleeced as a cash cow for the crime family. We need these criminals removed and full security audit on our entire gov't computer system. Every US citizen is currently at risk due to negligence but these fools. That doesn't even cover the extensive list of civil rights violations and oh...you know, constitution violations. But it matters not unless the are actual consequences. But money makes those go away.

It’s not even clever. Him and Elon are made for the same hell.

He's been accused of a lot of things. Doesn't mean anything until he gets punished

It is kind of amazing how selective the justice system is. There is a man who spent 30+ years in prison for stealing a loaf of bread. Apparently he had a criminal record prior and that meant he had to be thrown in prison for that long for any subsequent crime... but I find that utter bullshit.

It's kind of amazing how "justice" doesn't exist at all.

And? Who’s going to do anything about it? The stupidest people in this country gave a con man unilateral power to do anything he wants, what did they expect?
