(12,592 posts)Every time he opens his mouth it drops another thousand points. It's about 23,000 right now, so all he has to do is do a couple of dozen more speeches or major press events and he'll be the first president to totally wreck the economy, all on his own. And since the rest of the world follows the U.S. lead, he'll get credit for destroying the global economy, too. He's going to have lots of asterisks after his name in the history books:
Donald J. Trump
* Awarded the presidency by the Electoral College after losing the popular vote by 3 million votes.
** First president to be called "illegitimate" by a previous president (Jimmy Carter).
*** Third president to be impeached.
**** Mismanaged response to pandemic.
***** Destroyed U.S. economy.
****** Destroyed global economy.
