Trump And The GOP Bragged About The Stock Market's Gains But Were Given A History Lesson By Twitter

Trump And The GOP Bragged About The Stock Market's Gains But Were Given A History Lesson By Twitter

Donald John Trump is not a man notorious for being bound by unimportant things like facts, reality, truth... ya know, that boring stuff.

He doesn't need facts, numbers, supporting evidence, nada.


It's gotten to the point that networks have started refusing to air him live due to his "pattern of misinformation," which is a polite way of saying ya boy 45 is pretty much always:

Mmm, there really is a gif for everything.

So his penchant for alternative facts (whether accidentally or on purpose) and his love for bragging came together in a perfect storm recently. Unless you've been hiding under a rock—which we would totally not fault you for given the current pandemic—you've probably heard that the stock market took a massive tumble in the wake of ... well ...

Life.

The fumble was significant enough that even after a historic upswing, it still wiped out all of the gains that began in Obama's administration. Even after the biggest come-back in almost a hundred years, we're still not back at square one, that's how jacked up things got.

We could talk about the why's... about a global health crisis or denial and total mismanagement or even about illegal insider trading... but we're not economists.

All we really need to know at this point is that it fell so far so fast that the great stock market crash of 1929 suddenly didn't seem like a big scary thing outside of the realm of possibility.

Still, we should totally brag about that increase, right? It's not the choice we would have made, but it's certainly an option that exists. It also happens to be the option that Trump and the RNC went with.

First, Trump did this:


After Trump made his comments to the press, the Republican National Committee (RNC) bragged about the historic increases on Twitter.

The RNC—aka GOP—then tried to back up their boast with numbers.

But they maybe kind of neglected to mention all the other stuff.

That's okay, though. Twitter is here for us, fam. See, the last time numbers were this bad the world was, essentially, a raging dumpster fire.

We were doing the Cha Cha Slide with the Great Depression and a World War. So if current numbers are matching those numbers, what does that say about the state of the world?

Apparently nothing, if you're Trump and whoever is running Republican Twitter.

That's cool.

Twitter is here to say it for you.








Facts. Gotta love 'em.

Awkward Typo In Elon Musk's Bizarre 'Education Department' Trump Meme Is A Total Self-Own

Billionaire Elon Musk was widely mocked after he celebrated President Donald Trump's executive order to begin to dismantle the Department of Education (DOE) by posting a meme of Trump at the department's grave, only for an awkward misspelling to get all the attention.

Support stands at 33%, with opposition particularly strong among Democrats—98% oppose it, while just 1% support it.
