If it's not the shitposting it's gonna be the shitposting about him.

Fucking masterful piece of art. It's beautiful.

Between the stupid propeller hat and the couch fucking thing, his meme and shitpost stock value has a lot of potential. Someone to keep an eye on, especially so for the ladies envious of Usha Vance out there. Hubba hubba.
The funniest thing about the Vance meme is that they're mocking a noted NAFO pedo who literally wore that same get-up to their famous convention.

>Elect Trump based on the economy
>Trump tanks the economy by 6% the first quarter he's in office

"Ackshually this was part of the plan!"

Unhinged. You can't make this shit up.

It is a little more unhinged that you expect an administration that's only been back in power for three months can undo 8 years of damage. Only a little unhinged, just a little.
 
War aims are not for here.

Broadly speaking, however, Biden administration thinks they were weakening one of their enemies. Trump administration thinks that they are getting nothing except leverage to get Ukraine's minerals (which apperantly don't even exist according to The US Geological Survey).
Fair enough. My view of the entire thing is that it seems like no one can really articulate why the US should be involved to the degree it is in involved.

It’s effectively why Trump is so pissed, the entire thing just seems like Europeans wanting us to throw money at their problems and scowl at us for daring to tell them not to make their access to cheap energy dependent on Russia.
Like Trump getting pissed how Putin had to deal with RussiaGate came across as pissed that the British helped make it and it fucked his 1st terms attempts at diplomacy.
 
*squints at this map*

-Hawaii: Known for its Kona coffee, grown on the Big Island, Hawaii is the most prominent coffee-producing state in the U.S. Other islands like Kauai also have significant coffee farms.
Overpriced non-entity. $20/lb for Kona is a fucking crime. The only people that go for it never tasted actually good coffee. I think Hawaii makes about $100 million a year on coffee in a market worth $230 billion, so market share is like 0.05%
-Puerto Rico: This U.S. territory has a substantial number of coffee farms, primarily producing commercial-grade coffee.
Their production is so low I can’t even find an estimate
-California: There are experimental and small-scale coffee farms in California, particularly in areas like Santa Barbara and Goleta.
Oh, lol, please, hahahaha

Turns out the previous president propped up the economy to make his numbers look good during election season and now that the crutches are gone, the market is normalizing. Trump has only been office for a month but for some reason he's supposed to have everything done now so he can spend the next 4 years playing golf
 
The economy (read: the one holy line) was great when we shipped manufacturing to Asia.
It was great when we sold out the American worker.
It was great when we destroyed the housing market.
It was great when we disintegrated our industrial capacity.

Perhaps there are better identifying signs of a healthy nation than the eternal line.
 
That said, I think it's sad that code efficiency has gone out the window due to the absurd speed of chips these days. It's a waste of resources and energy.
All that is true, and we certainly would be better if we dragged Taiwan into the Gulf of America, but there's a world of difference between "90% of modern high-end chips" and "90% of chips". One is economically significant, the other could prevent you from even waging war (though as we've seen, Russia can build their own).

I would LOVE it if we hit a "chip plateau" for a decade or so, where things maybe got a bit more energy efficient but no real gains in power; just so we could finally get some software developers who weren't pajeets leaning on ever-increasing speeds.

How many consecutive months did the jobs numbers have to be revised down?
 
B-b-but... line go up!! Line must ALWAYS go up! We have to smash windows so the glass companies line go up! Oh my God, maybe we can put more niggers in prison so their lines and the goyslop lines can go up? I just can't live in a world where lines don't go up. We're so fucked!
The market threw a way worse hissy fit when the Fed started raising rates in 2022. These tariffs are a love tap compared to it.

Mein nigger, the economy was set to expand by 3% a month ago, now it is set to contract by 3%. This is not "undoing damage" this is just doing damage.

And how was he doing that? What specific actions was he taking to "prop up the economy for the election season?"

Okay how about we use Core CPI inflation, which still hasn't fallen below 3%.
