THE TRUMP 2024 THREAD

[Darmark7]

Interesting that we just watched the 93% freak out about their plans for world domination messed with a little bit and the rest of us 7% are fighting for them?

I woke up this morning. I had eggs and bacon and drank my coffee. If I hadn’t heard the news nothing changed for me. And I’m sure I lost a bundle. When you play in their sandbox, you realize it was never really yours to begin with. I’ll keep playing the game. I just upped my investments.

I was just talking to a guy that said he pulled some money out of his 401k. I asked him “why, did you need it?” He said “no“ but he just felt he needed to do something. He is my age 62. I said I don’t pay much attention to “today” because I’m not planning on touching my investments until I’m in my 70s. If someone Doom scrolls all day and follows the news you will be one to buy high and sell low on top of living in constant fear. I told him cut the TV off and enjoy your life. After our talk he said he felt stupid for reacting so quickly and now costing himself money. I watch these people like @Next Day Err and others here that have freaked out about everything from COVID, the vax, ivermectin, Trump and now the Stock market and I wonder how they keep from eating a bullet. I can’t imagine what that does to your body to live in constant fear over so many things.
Hope everyone takes a moment to turn off the negative news and goes out and enjoys this beautiful day.

There's nothing wrong with Walmart consumers. Walmart has been the country's biggest anti-poverty institutions, one might argue. Decades of much lower prices on consumer goods has really been beneficial to Americans' standard of living.

That might be coming to an end.

Well, I’ve never heard of Pro union guy say this in my life. Actually quite the opposite, that Walmart is the biggest pro poverty institution. You truly have a weird outlook

with the recent tariff changes walmart has been beating on china to reduce their prices. they didnt get so big by being victims of trade policy.

Walmart is not backing away from asking Chinese suppliers to cut prices to cover the costs of U.S. tariffs, Bloomberg reports, citing anonymous sources.

I'm not saying Walmart's labor force should have remained unorganized but I am saying that it's pretty clear that the net effect of Walmart's lower prices for decades have helped lower middle income families by the tens of millions afford a higher standard of living. One could argue.

You were scared less of grocery prices and trans people just a few months ago.

Is the stock market worth 10% less than last week or was it not really worth what it was last week?

The markets were "priced for perfection" at the end of Biden's term and the beginning of Trump's term. Any negative force was sure to change expectations for the markets for the worse.

This is on Trump.

I wish people wouldn’t repost TikTok or Instagram links. Not a member and they won’t let you see them if you don’t join. Don’t plan on joining so oh well.

Better put your head in the sand, then, instead of simply searching for the story to read.

The four men were later identified as Troy Knutson-Collins, 28, of Battle Creek, Mich.; Jose Duenez Jr., 25, of Joliet, Ill.; Edvin Franco, 25, of Glendale, Calif.; and Dante Taitano, 21, of Dededo, Guam.

Sounds like blue states or DEI areas anyway. 'em.

Yeah, I’m gonna go out of my way to search for a story from him when you can’t even post an actual link to anything other than any high school website. Even funnier that you would think I would bother with reading anything MSNBC said. There’s a reason people don’t watch it.

So are you saying those problems have been taken care of? I guess I wasn’t scared less enough to notice but thanks for updating me.
I sure wasn’t so worried about them that I had to get drunk and lose my on people that disagreed with me to the point that I got banned over and over.

Thank you and I read about that yesterday elsewhere. Not a great look, but Biden did plenty of things like that too. Sometimes presidents seem to get focused on the wrong things. I didn’t really make a big deal when Biden did it either.

I think he was giving you an excuse that made sense.

Oh my god! You really mean you don’t even have that to blame it on? That is scary.
