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.

    Feel better now?

    Why the fuckity fuck would I feel better? You are reading something into my post that just ain’t there.

    Before you shriek “BOTH SIDES” again

    Read my post and tell me where I said any such thing, nevermind shrieking it, oh, and stop being a twat. This bullshit is just as bad as the thought terminating cliches of the right.

    I voted for Harris. I also knew that the “we are a bit less fascist” narrative would never drive turnout as well as the “we are the good guys narrative” because I’m a fucking adult who understands a bit about how elections work.

    Note that I argued that the Democratic politicians should be blamed TOO. Yes, voters fucked up badly. Yes, this regime is a nightmare. I never denied either. However, getting votes is the job of a politician, and not committing genocide is the job of everyone.
