I can give up supporting Nuke the Whales for Nuke the NASDAQ.

Hell yeah, shoot everyone holding government bonds so you don’t have to pay them back! Dude is playing 8D battlebot chess

Trump said that because he is senile and has no idea what he is saying.

That guy is just a senile, word association fruit salad that has no idea what he is doing at any given moment.

He heard the word “intervention” and just immediately thought “military” and BS’d his way through what his wet mush of honeydew grey matter interpreted as a totally reasonable scenario in which the military “somehow” leverages its resources to improve the bond market.

Yes bomb Wall Street!

Amazing he said that with a straight face.

[–] mrmisses@lemmy.world 12 points 21 hours ago

Well his face is never really straight anymore, after all the strokes

[–] orc_princess@lemmy.ml 3 points 17 hours ago

If that keeps their military out of my country, I support it

It's probably a better idea than their current one which basically amounts to opening up a higher interest rate credit card to pay off the debt from another credit card.
