True TDS is when faggot left-wingers screech and flail about because the stock market, which does NOT represent the ECONOMY,
falls a bit. Only idiots freak out and sell.
The idiots: The term "the stock market is cratering" often indicates a loss of investor confidence. Such a situation can lead to
panic selling and may be associated with negative news, economic indicators, or geopolitical events that impact market stability.
The market will bounce back, and the ONLY "losses" will be by those who panicked, because the left-wing media and faggots like
you, told them the market is "cratering"... but remember, faggot...

Tim Cramer: Just in case you needed it, more proof that the Department of Education is an epic failure.
Some doofus: Am I the only one who finds it ironic that after crashing the US economy...
The stock market is not the economy. I want to say it again. The stock market is not the economy. Where have I heard that from?
Oh yeah, when Trump's stock market went through the roof during his 1st 4 years, we were told not to take that as any kind of
indication on how well he's doing because, well, the stock market is not the economy. I learned that in school before the
Department of Education came in, so.

A throwback to Democrat financial guru and Trump hater Robert Reich. Yep. The stock market is not the economy!

Professor Robert Reich: "The next time you hear someone say the stock market is a reflection of the economy, tell them that's
RUBBISH. The real economy is jobs and wages."

Robert Reich's article "The Stock Market is Not the Economy" was published on March 18, 2020. In this piece, he discusses the
disconnect between stock market performance and the overall health of the economy.
Robert Reich posted on X on December 12, 2024, at 15:00 CST, stating: "Just a casual reminder that the stock market isn't the
economy." This is the most direct reference to the phrase "the market is not the economy" from his X posts.
No other X post from Reich explicitly uses the exact phrasing "the market is not the economy," but this one conveys the same
sentiment. If you were looking for a different or more specific post, could you clarify, or would you like me to dig deeper into
his content?

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into
three distinct phases or stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm,
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting
solely of hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received
positively by TDSers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was
a punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people
in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
