Summary
Fox News openly blamed Donald Trump for Monday’s stock market crash, with the Dow dropping 890 points and the S&P 500 falling 2.7%.
The Dow is now 1,500 points below where it was when Trump took office. Analysts cite his chaotic messaging and steep tariffs on key trading partners as driving investor uncertainty.
Trump refused to predict a recession, calling it a “transition,” while his officials gave conflicting reassurances.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned of a “detox period,” further fueling market fears.
My point stands. Whether it’s society breaking down and local citizens looting off of each other, or you’re worried about a Trump Gestapo coming for you doesn’t matter. If you advertise that you’re stocking up on ammo and supplies, and either other citizens or Trump’s thugs decide they want it, they’re going to come for it and you’re not going to be able to fight them off. You are not the Terminator. You are not Rambo. You are not a one-man-army.
If you want to stock up on ammo, more power to you. Build up a cache like Schwarzenegger’s shed in Commando. But you are not Schwarzenegger. The best way to make sure that you still have that stuff if shit goes sideways is to make sure nobody else knows you have it. Otherwise, they’ll just barge in and thank you for building up a huge supply cache for them to take by putting a bullet in your head. Whether you’re worried about looting citizens or Trump’s thugs is irrelevant.
When the FUCK did I claim to be a one man army? Holy shit my dude. I simply said I’m trying to convince my other progressive/liberal friends to arm themselves and keeping myself armed. If I thought I was a one man army I wouldn’t be trying to get them to arm themselves. Your point doesn’t stand because it’s coming from an assumption that you’ve made not from truth
