DOW DOOM: CNN Cries Potential ‘Great Depression’ in Stock Market
NewsBusters ^ | 4/23/2025 | Joseph Vazquez

President Donald Trump’s first 100 days haven’t even been completed yet and CNN is already whipping out "Great Depression" scare porn to describe the current stock market under his administration. No, you didn’t misread that.

“We’re suddenly talking about the Great Depression when discussing Trump’s stock market,” read the insane April 22 headline of CNN Business Executive Editor David Goldman’s latest anti-Trump flapdoodle. “Trump’s stock market is throwing off some jaw-dropping statistics. How extraordinary? We’re now making comparisons to the Great Depression,” he continued.

Making freakishly outlandish claims seems to be a trend for Goldman, as he’s the same so-called journalist who blurted in February that the “jury is decidedly out on how much federal spending” under President Joe Biden “contributed to inflation — if at all.” Also, in Goldman’s view March 10, Trump was allegedly responsible for ruining America’s so-called “nearly five-year economic boom.” In essence, it isn’t a surprise he found some more tomfoolery to belch onto the CNN website.

Wasn’t CNN part of the cabal that tried to redefine what a recession is under Biden? How could they possibly know what a depression is?

DemocRats are so desperate for Trump to fail that they don’t care if the US fails, too.

Depression is the state of mind of CNN viewers.

They aren’t looking at the economic numbers coming out every day, that’s for sure.

The economy started getting better when the TDS Lawfare failed and Trump ran for office again—Spring of 2024.

The US is a huge ship that was heading straight for a gargantuan iceberg.

Trump is doing everything possible to avoid the collision.

Some stuff will fall over during the sharp turn, and it will not happen instantly.

The alternative is the end of Western civilization.

‘ The economy started getting better when the TDS Lawfare failed and Trump ran for office again—Spring of 2024.’

Trump gets credit when he wasn’t president, but deserves no blame for when he is president?

I mean, what kind of bs is that?

That’s the Deep State plan. Burn it all down if it means letting Trump succeed.

In his comedy screenplay for Stuart Saves His Family (1995) former Senator Al Franken said: “A lot of people my age lived through the Depression. Their mother’s.”

There is great upward pressure in the market, we see it every time there is a hint of good news on trade or tariffs. Yes we are due for a recession, but the conditions for a great depression do not exist. Goldman knows this, he’s just being an antiTrump dickhead.

The big problem Trump has is the American people tend to have a really short attention span and a short amount of patience they allow for anything unpleasant.

If something isn’t done right away they desert the political leader who proposed it.

During Vietnam I heard “Young people have watched so many TV shows that they think a war should be over by the end credits a half hour or hour later.”

And when MTV came in, the quick scene shifts and off and on closeups and distance shots favored quick responses and not long term thinking. Wikipedia of 3 pages instead of one is now almost as unbearable to young students as imagining “long form reading” meaning reading a full book.

The Common Core Standards do not require reading complete long works of literature. Even by the time we arrive at the 11th and 12th grade set of standards for reading literature, the standards only refer to “stories, dramas, and poems.”

There are, throughout the standards, references to Shakespeare and “foundational works” or literature. But the standards do not suggest that students should, at some point in their academic career, read an entire book. Appendix A provides highly technical explanations of how to consider text complexity and quality, but somehow avoids discussing the value of reading an entire novel. Appendix B provides “exemplars,” of reading selections, but the exemplars from novels are all short passages.
