William Lindsey :toad:<p>Andy Kaczynski, quoted by Bulwark, reminds us of a "top banker" quoted by media after Trump's election, who said he felt "liberated" because he could now say the words "pu—y" and "ret-rd" with fear of being "cancelled." Kaczynski wonders if Financial Times can check in on that banker about how "liberated" he's feeling right now.</p><p> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/tariffs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tariffs</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/StockMarket" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StockMarket</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/economy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>economy</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/crash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>crash</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/SmootHawley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SmootHawley</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/recession" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>recession</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/inflation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>inflation</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/stupidity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>stupidity</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/incompetence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>incompetence</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/destruction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>destruction</span></a> <br>/8</p>
William Lindsey :toad:<p>"Callers to my radio show—as well as when I posed this question [of why Trump is crashing the economy] online—overwhelmingly responded that Trump is doing this because he is a 'Russian asset.'
