the Orange Filth is a bad joke !
The Panic of 1873 should be your historical foundation. The government and economic textbooks says that a hike in interest rates is used to combat inflation. That’s totally not true. Historically untrue. So inflation happens and the job losses pile up. If you use 1873 as your North Star, you know multiple wage cuts are going to happen. Like you getting your pay cut 3 times in 1 year. Prepare for that. Corporations are going to declare bankruptcy and the government is going to let them. So, if you can buy shit and put in your company’s name, you should be set as long your LLC isn’t named I’m a Black Man Trying to Increase Black Economic Success. The IRS isn’t going for that.
I’ve been preaching the same list of people for ever before the election and now they are going to find out the hard way. A lot of people got food because he took over Obama economy for a few years, but once he did the tax cut in 2017 everything started to go haywire before Covid even started. The tariff thing is going to really put everything into chaos very quickly. I would be laughing at people telling them I told you so but I’m going to be hurt by some of that BS.Details About the 6 Trump Corporate Bankruptcies

Those people are christians and those type of people that should be hurt.
This dude will end up in a pine box if he keeps acting stupid
"We require a commitment from these Countries that they will neither create a new BRICS Currency, nor back any other Currency to replace the mighty U.S. Dollar or, they will face 100% Tariffs and should expect to say goodbye to selling into the wonderful U.S. Economy.
'They can go find another “sucker!” There is no chance that the BRICS will replace the U.S. Dollar in International Trade, and any Country that tries should wave goodbye to America.'
BRICS is an intercontinental economic coalition led by Brazil, Russia, India, Chinaand South Africa that many see as the primary vehicle looking to challenge Western political and economic dominance.
Other countries involved in the alliance now include South Africa, Iran, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Ethiopia.
The comments by Trump come after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced he wanted to de-dollarize the world economy at the latest Brics summit last month"
lets see how his task master Putin moves...
Was telling my family at thanksgiving that Indians and Asians are out biggest silent threat. Half looked baffled. Those A-rabs, Indians and Asian corner store owners hate our fucking guts. To have a red dot selected proves they’ll choose whichever side goes against us.
How people don't see this as a primer to go after civil rights is beyond me.
There are stories of FBI directors wearing dresses and acting like certain BGOL members.
The Feds killed black folks because that’s what white people do. They didn’t lay a finger on the Bundys.
Those idiots forget that the Supreme Court only protected president’s ass and not members of his administration once out it’s open season for their lil’ asses !
Andrew Jackson already showed you how much power the Supreme Court really has. The theatre displayed since is really to appease irresponsible negroes who prefer to read European literature instead of the room.
The goal in life is not to realize that your god has failed you at your death.
MAGA people finding out that trump is good for your stock/crypto portfolio Don't know what some of you liberals was voting for but we trump supporters are up right now!
No, this is the last go around for these stocks because once those tariffs hit, that’s it. America is going to turn into a small version of Argentina. Milton Freeman ish
He looks like dude who played Alex on The Expanse..
they say ole boy CRIPPLED Argentina
Don't feed trolls
Yeah, you are right
Watch it fall after Trump's crypto deregulation allows the next FTX to flourish.
Same with the stocks. Prices went up because everyone expects Trump to cut corporate taxes again. How long do you think that will last?
deregulation...................................there is no crypto regulation as of now but we will get clear rules within trumps first 100 days and FTX was the democrats doing I don't want to get down in the weeds trying to explain FTX but gary gensler looked the other way while they wrecked the crypto market.
Just to simplify it THE DEMOCRATS DON'T WANT THEIR BLACK VOTERS TO BECOME WEALTHY, IT ERODES THEIR MOST LOYAL VOTING BLOCK AND THEY LITERALLY DON'T HAVE TO GIVE THEM SHIT EXCEPT SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Democratic party slogan might as well be "vote for us, we're not as bad as Republicans." But when the president-elect is about to bring on the fourth Reich that's no small thing.
I am on my way to pick my car up from the shop. Figured I met as well get that out of the way. Rockauto still has dirt cheap prices but Im not chancing it. I will go lean for the new year if I need to thanks to the Idiot in Chief.
Obviously.
Black Republicans feel left out of Trump’s 2nd-term picks
Besides HUD secretary, the president-elect has picked no Blacks for his Cabinet.

As President-elect Donald Trump fills out his Cabinet and chooses his closet advisers ahead of Inauguration Day, many African American leaders are asking why more Black people haven't been appointed to key positions.
ABC News spoke to more than a half dozen longtime and new African American conservatives and Republicans within Trumpworld, in and outside of Washington.
Last month, the president-elect appointed Scott Turner, who was executive director of the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council during Trump's first term, to serve as secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
One area of frustration for many Black Republicans was speculation that if Trump did nominate an African American to his administration, it would be at HUD, the department that has had the most Black secretary appointments of any.
One Black Southern Republican told ABC News, "Why is every Black person given HUD?" adding that it was "the literal Black job of the administration."
ABC News reached out to Trump’s transition team for comment on his selections but did not get a reply.
Six African Americans have served as HUD secretaries, including Robert Weaver, the first. His appointment in 1966 by President Lyndon B. Johnson also made him the first African American appointed to a Cabinet-level position.
The first African American woman to serve in a presidential cabinet was Patricia Roberts Harris, who was the first African American Health and Human Services director and later HUD secretary. She served under President Jimmy Carter.
Former HUD Secretary Samuel Pierce was the only Black Cabinet official in the Ronald Reagan administration. Dr. Ben Carson at HUD was Trump's sole Black cabinet member in his first term.
In mid-November, Carson posted that he was "excited to speak with President Trump about how I will continue to advance the America First agenda, and I am meeting with him in the near future."
"However, contrary to reports, I will not be serving as the Surgeon General," he said.
The departments of Treasury and Interior remain the only departments that have never had a Black secretary.
Another key position Black conservatives believe needs to be filled by an African American is assistant to the president, a senior-level role within the White House. Trump previously appointed Omarosa Manigault Newman, a contestant on his "The Apprentice" TV series, as the sole Black assistant to the president.
"I do think if you're really talking about Black influence inside the White House, does Trump want his only legacy of having the only AP for two terms be Omarosa?" one Black Republican strategist asked.
After Newman's departure, Ja'Ron Smith served as a special assistant on legislative affairs before rising to deputy assistant to the president for domestic policy. Ashley Bell, a prominent Black Republican, served as a White House adviser on entrepreneurship and a regional administrator for the Small Business Administration. Bell's former boss is former SBA Administrator Linda McMahon, who Trump announced as his pick for the Department of Education. McMahon also is co-chair of the Trump-Vance transition team.
White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council Executive Director Scott Turner speaks with President Donald Trump as they participate in an Opportunity Zone conference at the White House in Washington, Apr. 17, 2019.
Some of the former president's most ardent defenders have grown restless with the lack of Black appointees, as Trump selected several others who would be firsts in those positions. If confirmed, Sen. Marco Rubio would be the first Hispanic secretary of state; Scott Bessent would be the first openly gay Treasury secretary; and Tulsi Gabbard will be the first Asian American and youngest-ever director of national intelligence.
"I can't tweet that we need more Black conservatives because the left will attack me saying it's a DEI hire," the southern Republican said.
However, one Black Republican operative told ABC News it is still very early when it comes to appointments.
"The Republican Party has never really fallen into the category of 'representation matters.' Our strength comes from diversity, but that is not our bumper sticker slogan. We're not going to nominate Black folks for the sake of nominating Black people," the Republican operative said.
The operative noted that Black Republicans have made strides in leadership across the country. Sen. Tim Scott will chair the National Republican Senatorial Committee; Rep. Byron Donald is speculated as possibly running for governor or U.S. Senate in Florida; and Winsome Sears is seeking to become the first Black female governor in the country in Virginia.
Donalds on CNN last month took aim at President Joe Biden’s focus on diversity within his administration when asked about the lack of diversity among Trump’s nominees, saying “if you look at how the Democrats filled Joe Biden's cabinet, they wanted to have a piece of every identity. But did they get the job done? Did they actually serve the interest of the American people?"
"What Donald Trump's election is about, is bringing competency and reality back to D.C. in the White House, regardless of their race, regardless of their religion, regardless of their creed." the Florida congressman added.
Although some Black leaders inside and out of politics are highly qualified, another barrier that Black conservatives face is added scrutiny because of their dual identity.
In this Aug. 27, 2020 file photo, U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Ben Carson speaks during the final day of the Republican National Convention at the Mellon Auditorium in Washington.
Dedrick Asante-Muhammad, president of the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, a non-partisan organization that studies diversity in government and congressional staff, said that the Trump administration differs vastly from past Republican administrations.
"Trump isn't a traditional Republican, he doesn't use traditional Republican institutions in the same way that past presidential candidates have, so there isn't a kind of pipeline, long-term relations," Asante-Muhammad said.
"Being a part of Trumpworld isn't easy. It is almost a personal blacklist thing in the outside world. So it is risky, in my opinion, to be a part of this organization for Black people that may want to be a part of the cause, but it's not worth their bottom dollar," one Black Republican strategist added.
"When Black people are put underneath this microscope of being Trump-affiliated, they look past your color and you are public enemy number one," a Black Republican operative said.
The Republican strategist said Black Republicans face a different set of expectations -- they don't necessarily thrive in spaces that are massively disruptive, such as the second Trump term.
"I don't think disruption really leans into our skillset the way things are currently set up, we have to play things a little bit differently. There's no Black Republican version of Matt Gatez. They don't last," the strategist added.
"Those of us who have survived and been there for years and made it work have done so by being steady, consistent, reliable, and trustworthy, " the strategist said.
The majority of Black Republicans who spoke to ABC News acknowledged that while the optics of Trump being surrounded by mostly white people aren't ideal, they believe if Trump delivers on a better economy, securing the border, Second Step Act, and judicial reform it could be transformative for the Black community, but they do want the former president to hire more Black conservatives.
