Trump Broke America’s Financial System #usa #america The US is now experiencing capital flight - this means people are taking their money out of the US and putting it into China, Europe, or Japan. The US dollar is weakening rapidly, the stock market is falling, and bond yields keep going up. When the dollar goes down in value and bond yields go up - that is a highly unusual and scary situation that signals that there is a loss in confidence in the US. This will make it prohibitively expensive for the government to borrow money, which is not exactly something you want when you’re entering into a recession and you’re passing a budget that will add seven trillion to the debt. Historically in times of crisis, the opposite happens and people put their money into the US because it’s stable – There is rule of law, the President can’t fire the head of the Federal Reserve, and generally speaking all policy in the US happens within the 40 yard lines. And so then traditionally nations and investors buy US debt, which the US then uses to stimulate the economy - and since Americans account for over 30% of all consumer spending, this then raises all ships and puts an end to the crisis. But investors just don’t believe in the US anymore, economists say that Trump has broken the country and its finances, and Noah Smith wrote that the world is treating the US like a developing nation. Trump is defying several court orders, he’s threatening to fire Powell again, and he’s enacting extremist policies across the entire nation…. People are taking their money and going elsewhere. The world has subsidized America’s way of life for a really long time and it’s all coming crashing down.

·6d ago China sharply raised its tariffs on imported U.S. goods overnight, from 84% to 125% starting on Saturday. That is in response to President Trump’s increased tariffs on imported Chinese products to 145%. While the trade war is likely to increase costs for most Americans, some business owners who use domestically-manufactured goods are seeing booming business. #china #trunp #tariffs

·4d ago Former President Barack Obama highlights the double standard with him and Donald Trump, saying that had he taken the same actions as the current president, the backlash would have been immediate. "It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me or a whole bunch of my predecessors,” he told an audience at Hamilton College. #barackobama #hamiltoncollege #donaldtrump #doublestandard #politics #news

·1-23Financial markets are down today after President Trump took to Truth Social to attack Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, calling for him to lower interest rates. The president called the Federal Reserve chair “Mr. Too Late” and called for him to lower interest rates, using all caps, “NOW.” Though Trump has long criticized Powell, whom he appointed during his first term, the president’s complaints have ramped up in recent days amid a major market reaction to his tariffs shock. Markets extended their losses after Trump’s post, with the S&P 500 falling as much as 2.9% and now down 16% from its February peak, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 1,000 points, or about 2.7%. The Nasdaq fell more than 3%. #economy #trump #stockmarket #finance #money #news #politics

·1w ago In April 2025, California Governor #GavinNewsom and Attorney General #RobBonta filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, challenging the legality of newly imposed tariffs on imports from countries including China, Canada, and Mexico. The state contends that #DonaldTrump exceeded his authority by invoking the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to implement these tariffs without congressional approval. California argues that the tariffs are causing significant economic harm, particularly to its agriculture and technology sectors, and seeks to have them declared void and unenforceable.   This legal action is part of a broader trend among Democratic governors to assert state authority in the face of federal policies they view as overreaching. For example, #MichelleLujanGrisham of New Mexico signed a climate change funding bill allocating $210 million for projects aimed at mitigating climate impacts, despite federal efforts to limit state-level climate initiatives. Similarly, #WesMoore of Maryland enacted the RAISE Act to expand registered apprenticeships and strengthen the state’s workforce, demonstrating a commitment to economic development independent of federal directives.   #GavinNewsom #RobBonta #DonaldTrump #MichelleLujanGrisham #WesMoore #Tariffs #ClimateChange #RAISEAct — Help this information get to more voters. 🇺🇸 A well-informed electorate is a prerequisite to Democracy.—Thomas Jefferson Dem Govs are taking Trump to court. repost @demgovs
