One thing we learned in 2019 and again in 2025 … Donald Trump is great at putting the economy and the stock markets into the toilet.

Democrats must be getting tired of constantly having to straighten out the economic mess left behind by the Republicans.

Wanna know how your Federal House Reps and Senators score for ethics based on where their campaign finances come from and if they're trading stocks while in office? Here's a growing spreadsheet of every one of them. 1/2

"A week ago we all asked where Donald Trump’s pain threshold lies when stock markets gagged on their first taste of the president’s tariff 'medicine'. Now we have an answer: it is when selling spills into the US government bond market and there is intense talk of negative feedback loops and financial Armageddon."

"Message to the world — and to the Chinese: 'I couldn’t take the heat.' If it were a book it would be called 'The Art of the Squeal.'”

But don’t think for a second that all that’s been lost is money. A whole pile of invaluable trust just went up in smoke as well."

"There’s no victory here, whatever the Dow Jones does and the Trump administration claims. The White House has risked everything, ruined plenty, and gotten nothing. The country’s economy is weakening, and the possibility of a recession remains."

"Trump rolled out an absurd policy which on its own terms would need to be held to for years to have any hope of success. After repeated pledges never to relent, he caved after one week. He now looks like an even bigger fool and menace on the international stage than he already did which is a feat of some magnitude."
