Trump Praises Impact of Tariffs After Dow, Nasdaq Futures Dive: 'A Beautiful Thing to Behold'

Source: MEDIAite

Apr 6th, 2025, 8:45 pm


President Donald Trump on Sunday said the impact of his tariffs is coming in now and is a “beautiful thing to behold,” even as Dow futures dropped 1,500 points on Sunday and investor fears of another crater impact on Monday grow.

Resistance to the slew of tariffs unveiled by Trump against dozens of countries has continued over the weekend, and the stock market has been rocked with the uncertainty. On Sunday it was reported that Dow and S&P 500, and Nasdaq futures sank on fears of a continuing major sell-off in Monday trading.

Trump took to Truth Social in the evening to continue defending the move, something his surrogates did on the Sunday morning news shows, and said that the tariffs are “now” bringing billions into the country already.

“We have massive Financial Deficits with China, the European Union, and many others. The only way this problem can be cured is with TARIFFS, which are now bringing Tens of Billions of Dollars into the U.S.A.,” Trump wrote in his Truth Social post. “They are already in effect, and a beautiful thing to behold.”

He fails up and thinks he's successful. It's quite evident he ignores his failures. For him, they never happened. Because he doesn't suffer any severe or longterm consequences he seems to get away with his failures.
There is no way Karma exists, otherwise how do you explain this walking heap of dung. The whole Republican party must be held responsible. There are no Maga, or conservative or moderate Republicans. There are just Republicans. If you don't want his stink on you, then leave the party.
No more excuses, no more fighting it from within.
If you could have saved your party, you would have done it already. The stink won't come off.
Get in the lifeboats and row.

trump hates the nation of his birth.
It's the nation that never loved him enough.
It's the nation that called him a racist for wanting the Central Park Five executed without trial and for, with his father, running a racist Redline LLC op in NYC.
It's the nation he hates for not electing him by large enough majorities to soothe the burn to his ego.
It's the nation he hates for not electing him in 2020.
It's the nation that tried to prosecute him for his crimes.
It's the nation populated by millions of women who are disgusted by him.
It's the nation with military vets whose existence reminds him of what a coward he was and is.
He is paid to disassemble the nation he hates by his combo dad-and-Roy-Cohn, Vladimir Putin.
If you ask how and why, it ALWAYS comes back to revenge and hate.

if you're trying to tank the economy as per P-U-tin, then it's a beautiful thing.

Maybe not so beautiful from the view of those of us who would rather see him dead.

Wonder what tramp's "Queen of Diamonds" was?
