I believe with all my heart that if a democrat had been elected president and was doing what this one is doing Dems would have impeached him by now. History will not look kindly upon the gop enablers who are allowing this to happen.

โ€œNever before has an hour of Presidential rhetoric cost so many people so much. Markets continue to move after my previous tweet. The best estimate of the loss from tariff policy is now is (sic) closer to $30 trillion or $300,000 per family of four,โ€ he wrote in a post on X.

Summers elaborated in an interview with CNN, saying that itโ€™s unprecedented that a presidential action causes such a big collapse in the stock market. Often, a stock market downturn of such gravity is caused by external factors, such as the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, he added.

โ€œThis action has taken $3 trillion off the stock market as a consequence of an hour of rhetoric. The stock market reflects only part of the economy. So if you took the cumulative loss, extrapolated from the stock market, itโ€™s closer to $30 trillion. Thatโ€™s more damage than any economic policy pursued by any president in the lastโ€”probably in American history,โ€ he said.

On Friday, the stock market rout continued as China levied 34% tariffs on American exports in retaliation. All major indexes were down as of Friday afternoon, with the the S&P 500 leading the losses with a 4.5% drop. The tech-heavy Nasdaq and the Dow Jones were down 4.2% and 4.4%, respectively.

Trump's tariffs have cost the US nearly $30 trillion, this translates to an additional $300,000 per family of four.

Thatโ€™s more damage than any economic policy pursued by any president in US history. He's bankrupting the country in real time.

I donโ€™t think people are paying enough attention to the fact that the North Carolina court of appeals just ruled that 65,000 votes donโ€™t count, and that the Republican Supreme Court candidate who lost actually won.

This will be appealed, but make no mistake: theyโ€™re trying to steal this election.

The US is scheduled to co-host the World Cup in 2026 and the Olympics in 2028.
Why would thousands of international athletes and millions of fans from around the world come to a country where tourists, asylum seekers, and visa holders are being disappeared to foreign prisons?

Guardian headline: 

What will it take for a former president to speak out against Trump?

The silence from former occupants of the Oval Office has been deafening as the incumbent cuts a destructive path

Under normal times, past Presidents have been reluctant to speak about the sitting President's actions and policies. It is a time honored tradition, good for democracy.

But American democracy is under attack.

I urge Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Biden to use their bully pulpits to denounced Trump.
