What happened on Day 100 of Trump's second term and why does Don call it a 'shit show'?
Happy Friday. I'm kidding. Even my dog. Did you hear my dog? He's like, what? Happy Tuesday, everyone. How you doing? Happy 100th birthday. I don't know what you want to call it. 100. Is this a celebration? Is it a what? Is it a what what? I tell you what it is, though. It's a shit show is what it is. Let's just be honest. It is a you-know-what and shit show. And people think like, oh my gosh, it is the poorly educated. Those are the people who are taking us down. Those are the people who are supporting this administration. They're the reason he got in office. Not so fast. Because there are a lot of rich people, a lot of them, who were hankering for another Trump presidency so that they could become richer. And I believe it is the rich who are taking us down.
And I'm going to show you why. I'm going to show you why. MAGA mud butts, 100 days of torture, someone says. Okay, so you guys know the drill. What did I tell you? The algorithm. What do you have to do? Tell me, please. Anyone. Anyone. Oh, I should go. Let me go on the TikTok. Anyone. Can you tell me? Can anyone tell me what the deal is as it relates to, I'm trying to get this all settled in here. Why I tell you to hit the thumbs up, right? Hit the thumbs up because it affects the algorithm. More people become aware of us. Cheryl Jones, you're right. They're taking us down. I am just saying, okay, and you guys know when I make these, when I say these things, you know that I'm not just saying them because I feel like I like to give the evidence.
Just like this morning, I was talking to my team before and I said, how's the market? And they said, the market's up. And I said, all right, we'll see. Today, we'll see. I had something, it feels like something's not so... Something's off. Well, the market wasn't down for the day. But this market at close today for the first 100 days, this is the worst stock market they've had for any president in the first 100 days. I believe it was since what? There it is, 1973. Wall Street Journal, the S&P 500 just ended the day with its biggest loss in the first 100 days of a new presidential term since Nixon's in 1973. Not many people want to be compared to Nixon. But I told you, again, old people be knowing, either the market's going to go down or this is going to mark something.
Hi, JoJo. Good to see you. I'm just shouting at some of the people in the comments. Where are you guys tonight? It helps Al Gore's rhythm. Someone says Al Gore's internet. Let me know where you're streaming from. Wow, says Patricia Santos. Right, Patricia. Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. So welcome to the show, guys. Are you guys tired of winning yet? Anna in St. Louis, Missouri, are you tired of winning yet? Vils, who's on TikTok. Fisher in Memphis, are you tired of winning yet? Nautica in Seattle on TikTok, are you tired of winning yet? Sandra in Texas, are you tired of winning yet? Joyce in Maryland, tired of winning? Lisa in Oklahoma, are you tired of winning? Cincy Mom in Nashville, are you tired of winning on YouTube?
Dry says, I'm tread. Kathleen in Phoenix, Arizona, are you tired? Shania. Are you tired? Maureen Marfelt in San Francisco. Are you tired of winning yet? Scottsdale Baby, Tamiya. So here's the thing. Are you tired of winning yet? Are you loving this new American golden age? Now, golden age for who is the thing? Can I just show you something? I want you to take a look at this. And that was the thing that I just showed you from Kyle Griffin, right? Let's put it back up again because I want people to see this. This is a Wall Street Journal. The S&P 500 just ended the day with its biggest loss in the first 100 days of a new presidential term since Nixon's in 1973. Just end it. Let that sink in for you. I wanted to put it up there a couple of times.
Double V in California. In the TikTok. Yep. Hi, Bex in Canada as well. I'm just saying. Now consider that alongside the fact that Jamie Dimon is now saying that the best case scenario for the rest of 2025 is that, and I quote here, we face a mild recession. That is the best case scenario. The best, not the worst.
