Clinton experienced a −7.18% one-day drop during his presidency, though the events that caused it were not because of him.

Which went way more smoothly than the tariff roll out and see how the American media is total fucking shit. Trump does not exist if the media didn't carry his water 24/7

7. Yes, including The Apprentice, which IMO is the biggest reason he won the repub nomination in 2016.

NBC put him in every living room in America touting him as a tough, successful businessman & the gullible fell for it. And yes, the media definitely gave him a second term.

10. Joe Rogan pretending to be outragged by deportations

Like he didn't interview Trump for three fucking hours and not talk about child separation and kids in fucking cages who Trump had lost the parents contact information. Hey Joe, how could you not know the deportations would be dehumanizing after the first term when he treated immigrants in dehumanizing ways. You had three fucking hours to ask him and you talked about Hunter Bidens laptop.

Joe Rogan is everything wrong with American media, he has no training, non credentials, zero screening, zero prep, and he is a top Podcaster delivering shit information to people and rolling in cash. Woot!

It's still the leftovers from the Joe Biden economy, he can take credit if he wants, because Trump owns the April jobs report which is going to be a bloodbath.

S&P 500 closed at 5669 on Wednesday. Currently 5171.

Or measure it from the closing level on the 2024 election day - 5783. That's 10.6% down.
