Summary
Trump’s campaign warnings of an economic crash under Kamala Harris have resurfaced as markets plunge under his own administration.
In 2024, Trump predicted a “1929-style depression” if Harris won. Now, following his April 2 “Liberation Day” tariff hikes, global markets are collapsing.
The Dow fell nearly 350 points, while major international indices dropped 8–13%. Critics call the crash ironic and self-inflicted, with “every accusation is an admission” trending online.
Economists warn Trump’s trade war and unilateral tariffs could trigger the very recession he once forecasted under Democrats.
If you didn’t know Netanyahu was on the ballot then you need to get your head out of your ass. Regardless, Biden shipped the weapons, participated in the coverup, and started the crackdown on free speech on college campuses. If someone gets killed in the commission of a crime, we charge everyone involved with that murder - even if they only supplied the weapons.
Huh, let me check the ballot again. Nope, Netanyahu was not on it in 2024. It doesn’t look like he got a single vote.
I did find 2 candidates who both wanted to remain allied to a rather odious country known for human rights abuses and bombing large numbers of civilians. I’m talking about Saudi Arabia, of course.
You know this isn’t Reddit, right? You and your fellow bots can downvote me all you want. I won’t miss the karma.
So, I’m supposed to believe that you have no idea how “on the ballot” is regularly used in politics to refer to something that is not literally written there? Please. There is no way you are that obtuse.
As for Saudi Arabia, sure. It’s not what we were discussing, but all the problems I have with Israel can easily apply in some form to Saudi Arabia, with one exception. Support for SA was not polling in a way that was a concern for the election - which is the topic we were discussing. (Well, what everyone else was discussing. I don’t know what the hell you are doing.)
Perhaps you should ask why people didn’t give a shit when the US was supporting SA in Yemen but suddenly cared deeply when it was lose-lose for Democrats. Why did Netanyahu refuse to sign a ceasefire until after the election? Why was no one calling Trump Genocide Don back when SA was bombing Yemen or now that he’s announced plans to ethnically cleanse Gaza?
As for what I’m doing, I have zero desire to rehash the same script again and again.
I just said that I have the same problems with SA that I do with Israel. If you don’t want to rehash things, you have a weird way of showing it. The fact that there are reasons why one impacted the election and the other didn’t, and the fact that Israel was intentionally manipulating our election were undiscussed, but don’t contradict what I was saying.
Public support for Israel in Gaza had dropped to around 60% long before the election, despite both parties and the media constantly glazing Netanyahu. Imagine how low it would have dropped if Democrats had a backbone and actually acted like leaders. That was the path to overcome Netanyahu’s interference - not to mention avoiding participation in a genocide.
When leaders lead, people follow. Republicans don’t twist their positions into pretzels looking for a path to appeal to 51% of the electorate. They tell people what to believe, and they do it with conviction. Most of the population wants that, even if they won’t admit it. That’s why Democrats are so universally dispised, even by their voters.
