Full Episode
Trump voters are regretting what they did, especially individuals in the market who are or who are looking at their pensions and 401ks right now or those in the investment community. You had people like Geiger Capital who had previously posted no one other than fairly stupid partisans on the left think that Trump is truly going to implement 20 percent tariffs on everything across the board.
Maybe didn't predict 145% tariffs against China or whatever cockamamie formula they use. And then Geiger Capital responded to their own post recently. I won't delete this tweet because I am a man of honor. But yes, I was wrong on the tariffs in November. He has indeed put blanket tariffs on every country. Trump 2.0 is very different. Also, seeing a lot of posts like this.
I've lost $208,000 since Trump became the president. I should have voted for... And of course, the person can spell Kamala Harris's name correctly. It says Camilla and other statements like this. It's no secret I voted for Trump, but I didn't vote for a global trade war. He better fix this strife immediately if Republicans want a chance to keep the House or Senate.
71 million Americans have a 401k. We are the world's largest consumers. Our trade deficits could have been ironed out with a phone call. I believe this is a huge miscalculation. Democrats should be jumping up and down tonight celebrating. Actually, we're not jumping up and down celebrating. This is a horrible time generally.

As of we're recording this, you never know with kind of the pump and dump meme coin economy that Donald Trump has turned our markets into. So I want to be careful what I say. But as the markets are once again in a crash mode right now, Donald Trump held a cabinet meeting and he talked about the big day we had the prior day. Here, play this clip.
Prescription drug prices are even to down. We're doing very well. It's been amazing. We had a big day yesterday. There will always be transition difficulty, but we had a... In history, it was the biggest day in history. the markets. So we're very, very happy with the way the country's running.
Very happy with the way the country is running. Let's call in Democratic Congress member Jimmy Gomez. Congress member Gomez, he's very happy, very happy with it. Transition problem, very happy with it. What's your response to that?
Well, it pisses me off. It actually makes me extremely angry because his economic plan, if he wants to call it, has just been creating chaos. One We always knew taking on having a trade war would be difficult, especially when you're picking a war with every single country on the globe, including your own allies. That's insane. He always said, oh, these are going to be easy to win, easy to win.
