Trump Slump: Market Tumble Stokes Debate Over Dems’ Best Economic Attack On Trump 2020 | MSNBC

  1. Wall street lawyer works for who…. definitely not the poor… these are the corporate scum screwing over people for billionaires…

    1. Why is it that every other Republican changes the system to trickle down economics? “Lets give all the money to the top 10%, and they will trickle it down to the poor” Time and time again this has been proven to not work. Tronald Dump did it to straight out pander to the rich, using “trickle down” as an excuse, and what did the 10% do with all that money? Did they trickle it down? Of course not! They used that money to do stock market buy backs of their own companies, that gave a false impression that the stock market was doing well. Meanwhile to pull off the big tax cuts to the rich, they borrowed and raised the debt, and they cut all the things previously put in place to help the medium to poor Americans cope. In just one example, They cut the aid for low income and first generation college students, and eliminated a 50 year old federal supplemental educational opportunity grant program, that was meant to go to more than a million of America’s poorest students. Just so the rich could be more rich!?!

    2. @2 piece Willy How much money do you think that fat cat wall street lawyer makes a year. Oh, that’s OK, you probably can’t count that high.

    1. That’s probably the only way Donald Trump will do anything about this coronavirus besides stand there and lie to us like he does all day every day!!!

    2. @terry dever indeed that’s the Republican way don’t do anything about it until it happens to us

  2. The attention span of the average deplorable is the same as a goldfish. Drumpf’s only policy was a wall. He never built it and pocketed the money. Joe is slipping a bit but I don’t think he’s senile. He has too many endorsements. Bernie, on the other hand, states his policies clearly and eloquently. I hate to think it’s too late.

    1. Goldfish don’t have poor memories for an animal they just have very boring lives so to entertain themselves they have to do things that are very very repetitive

  3. REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP CLAIMED HE’D HAVE NO TIME TO GOLF IF ELECTED BUT HAS SPENT MORE TIME GOLFING IN 3 YEARS THAN ANY PRESIDENT HAS IN 8 YEARS? TRUMP’S GOLFING TRIPS ALONE COST THE US $340 MILLION SO FAR. THAT IS THREE HUNDRED AND FORTY MILLION DOLLARS IN LESS THAN 4 YEARS BILLED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FOR GOLFING. TRUMP SPENDS MORE TIME AT MAR-A-LAGO, GOLFING, AND AT HIS CULT RALLIES THAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE OR IN WASHINGTON DC.

    1. Yeah, and the many, many hours spent daily watching TV and bleaching his hair, getting the combover just right. Ridiculous,

  4. Just an observation – every time there’s a crash and a bailout, inequality grows, and it always favors those getting the bailout at the expense of those paying the cost.

    1. Shady Island Chronicles But Remember when Bush Jr crashed the economy in September before Obama was elected not one Republicunt voted to bailout the auto industry and banking industry and airline industry. Now these Hippocrates will open their checkbooks for anything related to a loss.

    2. Not if you OWN stock in these companies , thats what poor people can never seem to figure out. Spend your money on investments, not TVs , Clothes, booze and Cars !!!

    1. @Esteban Marburry I see the 4chan parscale death star talking points are starting to coelesce. Vlad and the internet research agency would be so proud of you qtip

    2. @Briza Ac don’t forget that the Grand Wizard of the Republikkklan party said that nazi’s who murder real Americans are fine people.

  5. Didn’t Dodd and Frank spearhead legislation that Wall Street hated and the Republicans attacked as “government regulation”?

    1. Gillian Kennedy do you know that bankruptcy for a business is different than personal bankruptcy?
      Did you know that bankruptcy is THE NORMAL WAY to dissolve a business in this country?

    2. @El Jay how do you bankrupt a casino people literally walking with money expecting to walk out with less without walking away with a single product

    1. Yep the Coronavirus is going to expose just how close we are to third world systems and exactly how Atgolf sees us as commodities.

    2. So when it starts going back up, who did it, Barry-oh?
      😂
      The stock market will go up again, and it only went down because of the irrational fears over the coronavirus

    3. @El Jay You should read up on what Saudi Arabia is doing to the oil market right now. It might make you look less stupid. Maybe. 😆

  6. Atgolf Twitler is rattling the stock market with his disinformation campaign, treating Americans like commodities is not helping.

  7. Fairly pointless to ask a Wall Street lawyer about Democratic socialism. He’s not at all likely to have an unbiased opinion.
    Perhaps we should ask the Wall Street lawyers what they think we should do, and then do exactly the opposite.

  8. No Wall Street execs, it’s time for the people to take their country back from the top 1%…

    1. @Nevyn of OZ 1973 thanks for the interjection of negativity in an already depressing subject. 💙

  9. Bernie has a clear message. REVERSE socialism for the 1%. The 99% needs
    a break. Healthcare for all, education, green new deal. KISS

  10. I dont want hear shyte about how we pay for Medicare for all. The tax breaks made me tone deaf to all the rich whinning.

  11. #BernieSanders2020
    The only one who supports
    MEDICARE FOR ALL AMERICANS
    Because we need it.
    #Bernie2020

    1. So you think it’s okay to kick off a hundred sixty-five million Americans off their perfectly good health care they have now right to make people that work for a living pay for those that don’t that’s b******* by your own f****** Healthcare not with my dime

    2. @Billy Pardew your language is a reflection of why our country will not move forward without at least discussing a mean. It’s ok, you won’t have to worry about Medicare for all in the next 4 or 8 years. Americans will continue to rant against it while other countries become stable and represent world powers.

    3. @4Knewt the only countries on Earth with populations anywhere near our our population that have Medicare for all our communist countries
