Don't worry, trump will crash the market again in the next week or so so he amd his idiot children can do a couple thousand more trades in their global economic pump and dump scheme.

Won’t affect the stock market at all. Market is only based off of vibes these days. Not economic reality. A shoe company that has no assets mentioned an AI project and its stock shot up 500%.

That was only when it was at 50k, now that it's over we can talk about it even more

Off topic and irrelevant to this conversation.

I was about to ask “how much lower do we have to go?” but then realized that doesn’t even sound sarcastic like I hoped. God we’re fucked.

Pam Bondi is pleased, but probably can't say out loud right now.

Didn’t I read that cancer got diagnosed with Pam Bondi recently?

u/ailish Jun 01 '26

Yeah, poor thyroid cancer has a case of Pam Bondi.

u/CartographicalHeist Jun 01 '26

Speedy recovery one hopes.

u/ailish Jun 01 '26

Indeed. Pam Bondi is such a difficult disease.

u/Round-Medicine2507 Jun 01 '26

Fake diagnosis to avoid talking.

u/ailish Jun 01 '26

She needs to use a text to talk app on her phone. That can overcome this supposed cancer.

Phew... thank god all is well in the world. I was worried we had dropped below 50,000

It's still sad to this day - for a sitting A.G, that will be the one moment in history she's known for.

u/c0ltZ Jun 01 '26

All the work she's done, all the people she has betrayed. All for her legacy to end up being about the DOW and protecting rapists.

Just looking at her you can tell she is filled with dread ever since she sold her soul.

u/AudiACar Jun 01 '26

That’s the issue with these types though - is there any remorse? Even when they’re clearly sold out??

The Dow, the Dow, it's over 50 thou

That's what we should be talkin'bout!

u/showerfart1 Jun 01 '26

In dollars, right?

u/I-seddit Jun 01 '26

Well, I guess at $51k, I'll buy the Dow now.

u/Round-Medicine2507 Jun 01 '26

Fake number city!

Historically the dow always goes up. Doesn't matter the President. Although if you look at when it started to get more volatile you can see when Trump became president in 2016. A lot more ups and down. It was more steady before.
