Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Tuesday, April 22, 2025

Craig Fuller, the CEO of FreightWaves, a freight-focused organization that analyzes the freight and logistics market, has regretted "enthusiastically" supporting President Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 election, warning that the administration's policies are likely to "wipe out supply chains and small businesses within 100 days."

Craig Fuller was a strong Trump supporter and actively campaigned to serve in his administration. The tone shift on FreightWaves in the lead-up to E Day and in the weeks that followed did not go unnoticed. So, while this is correct, I want to shout from the depths of my soul, FUCK YOU, CRAIG.

Trump-Voting CEO:I Didn't Vote For A Neutron Bomb

Trump sure uses DJT stock as a piggy bank.

When everything else in the market (including it) is cratering buyers magically appear to prop up this worthless stock which doesn't even have a P/E ration because it has NEGATIVE earnings (losses after losses).

"We are all of us in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."

Just think: We are in this collective gutter because on 5 Nov 2024 a plurality (49.8%) of eligible American voters elected in the Trumpf junta which is devastating not only that 49.8%, but the rest of us as well. We are enduring a mass socio-economic suicide. This is quite astonishing. Future historians will conclude that a significant portion of the early 21st-century American electorate were-- to use an academic term-- Dumfuqs.

8. I'd welcome tactical neutron bombs in this country. I've been an advocate of them ever since my kids' grade-school parking lot.

Yes you did.

Suck it.

He told you...all of you...that he was going to torch the nation...and you voted for him anyways because his opponent was a stable, sane and competent black woman.

Saying this tells me they don't know what they actually voted for.

Because it was very clear what Trump was going to do, both because he stated it in many instances and because in others, he's a known scumbag and grifter who made it clear he was going to use authoritarian rule to turn the US into a personal piggy bank.

Idiot MAGA morons swore up and down the entire election season that that wasn't going to happen.

Given what's going on, they need to sit down and STFU because they're obvious too stupid to have an opinion.

Gallup's yearly reading on Americans' assessment of their personal finances shows a record-high 53% now believing their situation is getting worse. This marks the first time in the trend dating back to 2001 that a majority have expressed financial pessimism.

Perhaps the dumbest thing about Trumpalosers is their belief these policies would only hurt Democrats.

You cannot support a known fascist and his gang to return to the White House and then pretend surprise when they do what they can to ruin our democracy, and along the way terrify people with threats of taking away social security and medicare and much of the safety net.

CEO gloom rivals financial crisis as tariffs hit S&P 500 stocks
finance.yahoo.com

... Not since the financial crisis has Corporate America been so downbeat about the state of the economy in earnings calls, an ominous sign for investors trying to figure out how much more pain Donald Trump's trade war will inflict on the stock market.

The ratio of positive to negative comments on macroeconomic conditions during this reporting season has dropped well below its average and is on track for the worst proportion since 2009, according to a Bank of America Corp. (BAC) analysis of the first conference calls.

Earnings season is usually a boon for equities, but with the S&P 500 (^GSPC) down nearly 15% from February's all-time high as investors brace for the fallout of Trump's attempts to rewrite the rules of global trade, the stakes could hardly be higher this time around. That's especially true for firms with profits more closely tied to vagaries of the economy, like carmakers and transports.

Some executives are struggling to gauge the impact of the White House's rapidly shifting policies on their businesses. That's further pressuring US stocks that threatened to sink back toward a bear market in recent days on the heightened risk of a recession and a resurgence in inflation from Trump's levies.

"Almost every corporate CEO is revising down their outlook," said veteran market strategist Jim Paulsen. "The commentary warnings of the corporate sector have escalated." ...


Perhaps this is why Pres Trump has been retreating from his hard line positions on tariffs of late?
