The bar is “it could be worse, we could be getting nuked.”

Trump: "You want to see a stock market go down? Let a couple nuclear bombs be dropped on us or frankly any place else, and then you'll see a stock market that goes down. So the stock market has not gone very much at all. It's gone down a little bit. Much less than I thought. And frankly the gas hasn't gone up as much as I thought."

Key Takeaways
What the community is saying — both sides
Supporting
1
Dangerously unfit for office
many replies call him “insane,” a “malignant narcissist,” and demand impeachment or invocation of the 25th Amendment to prevent catastrophic decisions.
2
Stock market first, people second
critics say his moral calculus is driven by market moves, treating human lives and foreign policy as variables that matter only insofar as they affect portfolios.
3
Personal and family profit
accusations that he and his circle manipulate markets or short-sell on advance knowledge to cash in while ordinary Americans suffer.
4
Admitted willingness to hurt Americans economically
respondents point to comments that he expected gas and market pain and didn’t care, framing it as a deliberate, callous trade-off.
5
Risk of extreme provocation or false-flag tactics
some fear he’s either capable of authorizing violent acts (including nuclear use) or could orchestrate/allow a false flag to advance political or financial aims.
6
Defenders and market opportunists
a minority downplay the rhetoric as damage-control, call him “not wrong,” or admit they’re waiting to buy the dip, treating the episode as a trading opportunity.
7
Frustration at loyalist gullibility
several replies express bafflement and anger that a segment of supporters continues to accept or excuse his behavior despite repeated contradictions and harms.
Opposing
1
mentally unfit
and urging invocation of the 25th / impeachment because his words are described as dangerous, incoherent, or delusional.
2
reckless and irresponsible
dangerously normalizing apocalyptic scenarios and potentially escalating real-world risks.
3
stock market over human life
, mocking the idea that market fluctuations matter if a nuclear attack were real.
4
out of touch on gas costs
, noting ordinary Americans bear the burden while he benefits.
5
insider trading / market manipulation
by elites who would short stocks ahead of violence and profit from chaos.
6
stopped Iran from getting nukes
and therefore acted to prevent greater harm.
7
word salad
, repetitive “frankly/stock market” tics, and evidence of poor communication or cognition.
8
nuclear anchor
to reframe subsequent economic numbers as trivial (anchoring bias).
9
take the nuclear codes away
, for leaders to step in, and for someone competent to replace or check him.
10
mutually assured destruction
and arguing that actual use of nukes is implausible and therefore the rhetoric is bluster rather than policy.

Saying ‘you should be happy with the plummeting stock market cause at least a nuclear bomb wasn’t dropped’ is beyond unhinged.

So the bar is nuclear bombs or higher gas prices? That’s where we’re at?

https://t.co/kQdYk33tZN “The man is crazy. He has a mental problem. He really does…I am always impressed by his ignorance.” Trump’s too stupid to understand alliances or adversaries. He's an idiot that should go back to running real estate, not the free world.

I know if a nuke were to drop my first thought would be, "There goes the stock market!"

No, 🤡, you thought Iran would be like Venezuela. You didn’t even think it would impact the stock market, gas prices, or even the Strait of Hormuz.
