When the stock market jumps under Biden Trump takes credit. 

When the stock market crashes under Trump he blames Biden.

And the Trumpers here actually beliive it!

This is a cult. There is no other way to explain it. 





Trump attempts to take credit for stock 
market record highs under Biden
JAN 29 2024

"THIS IS THE TRUMP STOCK MARKET," Trump 
wrote in an all-caps Truth Social post, 
"BECAUSE MY POLLS AGAINST BIDEN ARE SO 
GOOD THAT INVESTORS ARE PROJECTING THAT 
I WILL WIN, AND THAT WILL DRIVE THE 
MARKET UP."

Trump cited no evidence to back up the 
claim that investors are buying into the 
stock market now in anticipation that the 
Republican ex-president will beat the 
Democratic incumbent in an election nearly 
10 months away.

I think that's actually Lyin' Leavitt.

Guy did a good job making the tatts look real.

Also at that URL is Bondi yammering insanely about Trump saving "285 million
lives".

Not only did Ukraine sympathizers in Russia execute a high ranking
Russian military official, they videoed and posted it.

I would not call this "gaslighting". I would call it "Trump has no clue."

    Trump asserted that "China was making over a trillion," without it being
    immediately clear what he was referring to.

    "From 500 billion to 1.1 trillion… frankly if we didn't do business we
    would've been better off," he said.

    China says it sent around 15% of its exports, worth $525 billion, to the
    U.S. last year — about 3x what flowed in the opposite direction. (U.S. data
    differs on the total value by nearly $100 billion, but the ratios are about
    the same.)

    "We'd like to see China opened up so we can compete in China and give
    people something that they've never had – access to something that would be
    great for the world, great for the businesses, and great for friendship,"
    Trump said.

Then we need background trade negotiations to get our intellectual
property payments back.  Not high drama and war.
