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.

    I remember when their entire policy was 100% we’re going to go kill children and it’s the US doing this and not a foreign nation, so make sure to vote for the fascist who supports genocide but also wants to make the victim give up it’s territory for a resort area as well instead.

    no, wait, that was the russian and chinese social engineering shifting the narrative so dumbfucks could feel justified in voting away their own rights not to be deported to Salvadorian internment camps.

    or maybe you’re a russian, I don’t know. If so, good job, you got us good.

      Is it the Russian and Chinese that bribed the dems to run with it too? Lol

      They could have, idk, stopped selling bombs to a genocidal state and condemned them instead. To pretend how they approached it wasn’t a massive fuck up is silly.

        Bribed them to follow established policy,? Nope, but you’re naive if you believe any politician would have done any different when weighing options against political investment. I do believe it was Israel itself that was pushing the narrative that Biden was committing these acts to divorce their own involvement after the initial topic was broached. The investment in resources into Israel for decades to have at least a semblance of a foothold into a very politically volatile and traditionally unstable region seemed like something that couldn’t be thrown away because back in those days (before the current administration) I believe that the politicians were still banking on using America’s stability to try to calm the aggressions and not completely lose the investment that had already been dumped in over the past several administrations. All of the politics behind it really don’t matter at this point anymore, because nobody could possibly still see this country as a stable political force again for at least another 40 years (if we were to suddenly get a competent leader all of a sudden.)
