Yeah, you seem to be forgetting the other time, when Trump kept arguing that COVID was no big deal, and that everyone should just get it so we could all get immunity.

Nonononono, that was his LAST term.
He's already clarified that was moot when he fucked with the (art of the) trade deals he negotiated then.
If you are thinking in terms of terms (4 years) or years (1 year) you are daydreaming. Get your head out of your head! Get into the here & now. Grab the here by the now! Week on week? Weak eats weak. Day at a time, hour by hour, minute by minute, second by second, trade by trade

Threaten, bully, strong-arm. That's how you business. That's how you run a casino. That's how you win. The house always wins, so it's time to double down!
We aren't looking at yesteryear or even yesterday. It's not even about the forecasts of tomorrow.
It's about the here and now.
Markets are closed? Don't care.
Markets are shut down due to a selling circuit breaker? Don't care.
Markets are open? Why aren't we buying?

It's all about line goes up. And if it doesn't go up, it's about buying.
You see, winners buy the dip. Everyone should be buying right now. And the US tariffs that. Tariff the buy, so other people pay to make the line go up.
If the US is selling, the US is being swindled. So buy the dip.

(Idk what the fuck this is. Some drunken ramblings. I hope everyone is doing well, even if we are all being fucked over financially)

Idk what the fuck this is.

No problem, I could see some "economist" from the government saying exactly that in an interview.
