knowing he won't be around for the consequences. He's not getting any younger.

He sticks to his belief about himself when people push back. He digs in deeper. He truly thinks that tariffs are the best way to stimulate the economy. He's a fool.

... because legit banks wouldn't loan Der Dingleberry money, so he had to cozy up to the Russian mafia. And Eloon and his goons want to force everyone into buying/using untraceable Bitcoin, ethereum, Clown Coins, etc...

If "the market" decreases, that's a theoretical value that, if all the companies involved could be sold at once, is lost. But of course, you can't buy or sell the whole of a stock market at once. But GDP is a real measure of useful work that people (in this case, the whole world) will do in a year. It means our efforts will be less effective, or there'll be less opportunity to benefit ourselves and others.

Hitler launching World War Two was more damaging, relatively, I'd guess, but maybe no other act by one person has rivalled this.

I have no idea how domestic news is covering this, but it is the lead story on BBC World and Bloomberg Radio. Trump is actually beginning the process of wrecking the global economy, which we all sort of knew he was and would. But this makes it a bit more real.

If Trump comments on this at all, I'm betting it's only to call IMF chief Kristalina Georgieva "a nasty woman with a low IQ."
