Quote:Remember how only Trump can satisfy a Trumptard such as yourself? It is the same mechanism with Fascists: only Mussolini could be leader and he was from 1921 to 1945. In Russia, only Putin is imaginable as leader from 2000 to 2025. Certain kinds of people, authoritarians, must have a strongman with a strong name-brand. Democrats don't have that need.

The president-elect is expected to raise more money than ever for his second inauguration. He’s keeping tabs on who’s donating — and who hasn’t

Large sums of please-don’t-hurt-me cash comes from corporations that have a lot of business before the government. American companies are forking out money to Trump's inauguration at a time when he's threatening to slap major tariffs on foreign goods, and his decision to grant certain companies exceptions could be make or break for their profits.
When the president-elect asked about one big-name corporation and was told it hadn’t donated, Trump replied, “Well, they better do it soon then.”
US business leaders set to break record on donations to Trump inaugural fund
Donations, not restricted by campaign finance laws, come as industries seek favor with incoming administration.

Trump’s inauguration will cost twice as much as any other president’s:

Trump's 2017 inauguration was famously puzzling because no one could figure out what he spent all his money on. He only held three parties and a lunch, and the entertainers were the likes of The Piano Guys, Lee Greenwood, and DJ RaviDrums. So where did the rest of the money go?

It’s already happening. Trump is beginning to tank the economy.

There is a difference between Wall Street and Main Street. We see some stocks increasing in value in anticipation of Trump’s promised tax cuts and deregulation while the labor market may be beginning to cool.
I have a friend in a very red area of a blue state. He and his friends and co-workers and everyone they know there voted for Trump or for RFK Jr. Harris was too liberal for them and for most of the population in their county (like rural counties everywhere). My friend lost his job at a mill in September. The factory where he had previously worked reduced its workforce again last week. My friend has applications in at several other mills, and has been to the state workforce agency for help finding work. They told him there is basically a hiring freeze “because of the election.” There is uncertainty created by Trump’s promise of tariffs, his threat of deportations and the disruptions they will cause, and the appearance of instability in his next administration. These companies are not hiring. They are waiting to see the effect of the next administration on the economy.
It won’t be good. Businesses need a predictable environment for their markets. Right now they don’t see that in the near future. That Musk and Trump played around with a government shut down doesn’t instill confidence in the future.
Banks and investment firms may think things are looking up. In this example, businesses on the ground and their Trump voting workers not so much. If people are not working, they are not buying, and there are consequences for the economy. Trump and Musk are not good at stability…they are similar in that they have no impulse control and are good at disruption. They may already be disrupting the economy.

Article Title: It’s already happening. Trump is beginning to tank the economy.
Last sentence of Article: They may already be disrupting the economy.
Not to mention this entire breaking news article is based off of an anecdote for some imaginary Trump voting friend this dude has.

Quote:6ix, you Trumptards never understand that your stupidity causes your problems. Instead, for examples I have repeatedly seen for decades, you Trumptards lie about why your wife left, lie about why you got fired, why you have financial problems, why your business suffers, why drinking, smoking, drugs, gluttony, and sexually transmitted disease couldn't be the whole reason for your poor health, why this, why that, never grasping that it is your fault for what happens to you Trumptards. Trumptards keep claiming it is Democrats doing it to you.

Most Americans who supported Donald Trump probably thought they were voting for lower grocery prices; now he says never mind, let’s seize Greenland instead. Also the Panama Canal and maybe Canada.
I’ve seen various attempts to rationalize Trump’s sudden embrace of what looks like old-fashioned imperialism. A Panamanian hotel has sued the Trump Organization for what it says is tax evasion; Greenland has deposits of rare earths; Canada has poutine. But I think that all of this ascribes too much rationality to Trump’s posturing. I mean, does this sound like someone engaged in sophisticated geopolitics? (No, Chinese soldiers aren’t operating the canal, despite what Trump claims.):
Quote:May I say that Trump is still benefiting, maybe more than ever, from media sanewashing? How many Americans, even those who pay attention to the news, know that THIS was the president-elect’s Christmas message?
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Merry Christmas to all, including to the wonderful soldiers of China, who are lovingly, but illegally, operating the Panama Canal (where we lost 38,000 people in its building 110 years ago), always making certain that the United States puts in Billions of Dollars in "repair" money, but will have absolutely nothing to say about "anything." Also, to Governor Justin Trudeau of Canada, whose Citizens' Taxes are far too high, but if Canada was to become our 51st State, their Taxes would be cut by more than 60%, their businesses would immediately double in size, and they would be militarily protected like no other Country anywhere in the World. Likewise, to the people of Greenland, which is needed by the United States for National Security purposes and, who want the U.S. to be there, and we will!...

Anyway, does the Greenland/Panama/Canada thing reflects anything beyond brain worms?

What will happen to U.S. economic power under Trump?
Economic statecraft needs, like, a state

There is a faction that wasn’t important in Trump I and is very important indeed in Trump II. Crypto. Important Trumpworld people like David Sacks, the incoming “crypto czar,” and Elon Musk, were made men in the “PayPal mafia” – the quarrelsome group who founded the payments platform. And PayPal had a core goal in its early days - to displace the U.S. dollar.
As Peter Thiel later described it, their collective ambition was “to create a new Internet currency that would replace the U.S. dollar.” All of the founders were “obsessed with creating a digital currency that would be controlled by individuals instead of governments.” Many years later, when Bitcoin came along, Sacks anticipated that it might fulfil PayPal’s “original vision to create ‘the new world currency.’”
Now, those people, together with less ideological crypto boosters like Howard Lutnick, the incoming Commerce secretary, will be key players in setting U.S. policy, and in shaping regulations or getting rid of them. Lutnick has deep financial ties, for example, with Tether, a crypto “stablecoin,” which provides an “incognito dollar” that is widely used for sanctions evasion. The Biden administration wanted to take action against Tether - the Trump administration, likely not so much. So too for a variety of other means of sanctions evasion, including the Tornado Cash bitcoin ‘mixer’ service, which Republican appointed judges on the Fifth Circuit have just declared off limits to U.S. sanctions authority.
In January, we are about to start discovering what the U.S. economic security state looks like, when it is run by the seat-of-the-pants, likely stripped of a lot of the state capacity it needs to actually get things done, and influenced by people who have a long standing aversion to the power of the U.S. dollar. As I said, it’s going to be a wild ride.

This has nothing to do with me. Why do you keep trying to shit all over me personally when I call out the bullshit that you refuse to call out in your articles.
Your article headline states, as a fact without a shadow of a doubt, that "Trump is beginning to tank the economy." "It's already happening".
Then it's filled with nothing to support that assessment other than sourcing an unnamed low-level union worker friend of the writer and what he said about things he likely doesn't have a fucking clue about even if he is a real person. (Anybody who has been laid off before knows that they don't tell you shit about shit when it happens, they don't care at all about people whispering about all the reasons why the pending layoffs are happening outside of the HR meetings where they use every nice-sounding word in the thesaurus to let you know that you're likely going to be unemployed soon without ever using the words "fired" or "laid off", and if you weren't escorted immediately off the premises by security or police on the day you lost your job you had a good day).
After two paragraphs of this meaningless, impossible to source or verify, and almost certainly fabricated story, the article concludes with a much, much softer allegation in its last words by stating "They may already be disrupting the economy."
They may already be? Disrupting? But you just told me in the article headline that he's tanking the economy, which goes well beyond mere disruption. You told me that it's already happening.
You posted a bullshit article.
Just acknowledge that, keep that in mind the next time you read an article at the dailykos, and move on. No need to get shitty about it.

Republicans quietly slashed $20 billion from the Internal Revenue Service.
December 26, 2024/11:44 a.m. ET
The president-elect plans to appoint anti-tax extremist Billy Long to take over the agency next year, who repeatedly tried to abolish the IRS as a member of Congress.
The Biden administration said the cuts would end up adding $140 billion to the national debt, as they hurt the tax agency’s ability to audit big corporations and the wealthy.
Specifically, the White House said, the IRS will conduct 400 fewer major business audits each year, and 1,200 fewer audits of rich individuals.

Americans are starting to wise up to the harsh reality that President-elect Donald Trump has no plan – and never did – to cut prices and bury inflation woes.
A day late and a dollar short, Americans are realizing that President-elect Donald Trump plans to short them a few dollars. That’s right: Since the election, U.S. consumers have become more likely to say they expect prices to rise next year.
While Trump ran his 2024 campaign on appealing promises to bring everyday prices that have skyrocketed for consumers in recent years down, he acknowledged in a Time magazine interview only after winning that election that he could do no such thing.
“I’d like to bring them down,” Trump told Time magazine. “It’s hard to bring things down once they’re up. You know, it’s very hard.”
The only thing surprising about the admission from Trump is that he said it out loud.
One thing Trump didn’t acknowledge, however, is how his economic agenda — tariffs, deportations, tax cuts, and kneecapping the Federal Reserve — could worsen the problem that voters hired him to solve. But Americans seem to be catching on anyway.
