    that’s right lutnick, keep people guessing as the world dumps us bonds. this is it, people: the world’s richest economic powerhouse is tearing itself apart to satisfy the fantasies of a hate-filled dotard. the collapse of the us is the most spectacular self immolation in history.

      That bond situation is crazy. The US is standing on the precipice and the Trump administration doesn’t even realize it.

      Absolutely. It makes me crazy that people can’t imagine what the consequences of American isolation will be. We built this position and lifestyle over generations, and every single other administration including his was smart enough not to fuck with it

        That would sum it up nicely; however, It’d be unfair to not mention the 77 million Americans that voted for this clown, the 90 million people who neglected their right & responsibility to vote, and the 75 million americans who voted against him.

      I mean, it’d have to be pretty impressively fucked up to outdo Brexit. So far, it is!
