Trump got shot! Staged? Not?

How much money did you lose in the stock market just this week?

S&P 500, Nasdaq post sharpest weekly losses since April amid tech rout

Anyone who'd post that has 0 invested. If your time horizon is week-to-week, you're better off going to the casino. Had you read the story, the sell-off was triggered by the crowdstrike outage. I guess it didn't affect the pumps at the gas station.

[Fat_Elvis]

Do you like paying more for gas? Do you like paying more for groceries? Do you like high interest rates? If so you must like Sleepy Joe.

The President, regardless of party, does not control gas & grocery prices.

Market was up 700 points on Wednesday. My mutual funds were soaring.

[Sleek]

Yeah. Midweek was my ath...down a grand since then tho.

It'll pick back up. A lot of my dark horses are starting to move up, so soon it won't be entirely based on what nvidia does in a day.

That said, prices are lower this summer... you'd think that someone who sells cars would know this.

To his defense, taking the time to educate yourself with facts is less convenient that just believing what a reality TV star who lies 98% of the time says.

[Bono Nettencourt]

I'm well aware. My son goes to college in CNY. He's typical of the region. It's Trumpier than Kentucky.

[TooOldToCare]

The NYP has reported (I don't think I've seen this mentioned) that Crookes flew a drone over the rally site earlier in the day. There is a lot of weird shit about this that does not make sense.

[aerozeppelin]

There's probably no real conspiracy to the shooting but the Trump team could certainly put that to sleep if he consented to an independent medical evaluation to rule out physical damage from the shot/confirm that it was actually the bullet and not some other shrapnel that cut his ear. Seems like they are concerned about that shifting this heroic narrative they are building around him.

Yes. No medical transparency to a presidential candidate. JB immediately released records and statements about his recent Covid diagnosis. I don't follow that closely, but Trump has always been secretive or deceitful about his medical conditions. Recall the Bruce Vilanch-looking doctor who submitted a fabricated report around 2015 before the election.

I also read that several other SS or security folks on stage around Trump were treated for cuts and scratches from metal and plastic debris caused by whatever the bullet(s) struck. Could be the same for Trump but he's selling his usual snake oil. Who knows what is real anymore?

I can’t wait til Donnie gets back in, prices will go down fast! He said so last night! Let’s gooooo!

So much idiocy here where to start. Pandemic, supply chain breakdown, higher gas, grocery prices and interest rates WORLDWIDE, not just in 'Merica. The President and VP do not sit in some magic control room raising prices by pushing secret buttons. Thousands of factors are involved many of which are beyond their control. I know these are complex concepts for simple minds. Also "He said so"! Really? The known "truth teller"? Our very own modern day George Washington said so? On TV?? Gotta be true.
You need to spend less time on ebay bro...

[Jason Jennifer Leigh]

The supply chain will never return to normal … no presidente can save America at this point … you’re DONE and the world is laughing.

Well, higher prices ARE the result of button pushing, to some extent. 20% of all US dollars in circulation were printed out of thin air in the last 4 years.

Someone's (!) creating money out of nowhere to pay bills. And the result is that us shmucks are paying more for food, gas, and thus concert tickets as well!

Super simplified and does nothing to explain the same things occurring worldwide. Also Joe and Kamala do not sit in the mint pressing magic print money buttons. That would be the FRB. And again I haven't voted for a mainstream political party candidate since 1988 and won't be this time either unless suddenly CA comes into play. I got no horse in this race but call BS when I see it. Maybe you should go shirt shopping with Mattley...

Yes, it's a "super simplified" view, but I'm experiencing the same thing here in Europe. The US wasn't the only one to send out $1000 checks out to households that didn't need it (my mom got one), and in France I got a similar albeit lesser amount that I didn't ask for or need either; both of these gifts were after and related to the pandemic.

Trust me, every additional dollar that is printed means that each dollar you hold is worth less (worthless haha). And this isn't a political thang, my mom's check was signed Donald Trump and Biden likely would have done the same thing.

I already have too many band shirts, but I did score two bitchin Billabong wifebeaters today during the national sales!

Agreed.

I don't care about the politics but...

I hate wokeism

And since the woke people hate Trump -> I find it great that the Trump train is going forward and making the woke people pissed

Then you do care about politics. You contradicted yourself in your own post. Also see EF's post about the origination of the term woke above. And if you still feel the same have fun polishing up your jackboots and goose stepping in time until they discover a trace of mongrel blood or deviant behavior in you and show up at your door...

[cowpins]

Did wokeism exists before Trump? I don't recall things like "being woke" and "fake news".

These clowns will always be surprised when the leopards eat their faces. And they will. The only reason the smile from the schadenfreude won't leave stretch marks on my face will be because the leopards will have already eaten mine.

[Nate S Axel]

Wow...

Rumors are circulating that Hillary is planning to replace Biden as the nominee. Unconfirmed since everything is "anonymous tips", opinion pieces, or political commentary in the meantime.
https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/47 ... -2024/amp/

Trump said in his Michigan rally that he wants to run against Whitmer since she's "terrible".

Biden's camp denies he's going to step down and he's ready to start going after Trump again.

Gonna be good!

[Rocker4Real]

Alex Jones says it's going to be Hillary, so it likely isn't.

[Bono Nettencourt]

Good Lord who the hell was that who wrote that fanfic mash note... right down to the old trope that she was the "most qualified candidate" ever. Yeah, let's run a woman who can't deliver the women's vote. Speaking of which, no guarantees that the cackler will bring home the A-A vote either - remember "Kamala is a cop"?

[Nate S Axel]

I still think the only person who could defeat Trump at this point in the game is Michelle Obama.

The Democrats could avoid the calls of "racism" and "sexism" by skipping over Kamala if Michelle was the one that replaced her, but no interest from her so far, even if Republicans like to think Barack is still calling the shots.

Biden polls "better" than Kamala, and Kamala polls better than Gavin Newsom. I haven't seen polls on the other rumored candidates, but it's getting late in the game to build up momentum.

(Too bad the Democrats sToLe tHe eLeCtiOn in 2020. Trump would be finishing up his second term now, and it would be open season for both parties.)

[cowpins]

Nah...with the stacked Supreme Court he'd be King Trump by now and there would be no elections.

[Jason Jennifer Leigh]

I just saw that Kamala polls better than Biden. Lol

Trump’s going to blow it, his mouth is just too much for America 2024 and if the Dems can pull a rabbit out of their ass Trump will lose.
