Donald Trump is not a sane man.

Nothing stabilizes the economy like a monkey with a machinegun.

Any bets that Donald takes off his shoe and starts pounding it on the table during this speech?

Look, MAGA. It's really your asses now. No one is asking you like liberals.

We're asking you to save yourselves, in order to make it easier for us to save ourselves.

Is anyone tracking the trades of the people in his orbit? Wouldn't be surprised if he backed off again and we watched the markets rebound as a response.

Bets on whether the people pulling his strings made out by buying low and selling high?

'Lie Fest 2025!'

I have odds on the number of later verified lies being over 100.

But obviously Trumpers are like delusional lovers when it comes to Dear Leader; the love to be lied to by him. It's erotic for them, really. They really get off on his ability to stand up there and repeat bald-faced lies that everyone knows are bald-faced lies.

It's great TV, and they don't even have to pay for porn.

Market manipulation by Hair Furor for the benefit of himself and his billionaire buddies. All at the expense of other investors.
