MSNBC host Jonathan Lemire claimed Monday on “Morning Joe” that President Donald Trump is quelling a rebellion from Republican lawmakers over tariffs.
Lemire said, “This morning Goldman Sachs again raised the odds of a us recession now to 45%. It’s the second time it has raised its forecast in the last week. We’ve heard from President Trump again this morning. He’s taking it to social a couple of times, including just a moment ago. I’m going to read it. It’s on the screen. ‘The United States has a chance to do something that it should have been done decades ago. Don’t be weak. Don’t be stupid. Don’t be a panican.’ Which appears to be a term he coined. He puts in parentheses ‘A new party based on weak and stupid people. Be strong, courageous and patient, and greatness will be the result.’ So Joe and Mika, this is a clear reaction to what we’ve heard in the last few days. Even some Republicans, let’s be clear, mild, tentative criticism, but we heard from Senator Ted Cruz earlier.”
He added, “There have been others who have spoken out questioning the wisdom of these tariffs, at least as a long term solution. And this appears to be President Trump’s efforts to try to quell any rebellion before it really erupts within the GOP.”

who gets paid to think this shit up
evil psychologist or taylor swift fans?
Keep hearing this wishful thinking from the Left. The base is with Trump and not rebelling. However, some of the weak-spined Rinos in Congress are murmering, like Bacon from NE and a few others.
Has Lemire been fact checked?
I’m sure the fact that they did not get a black Monday put a real damper on the gopE efforts to get Trump.
I’m going to say there is actually some truth to this.
We all know the republicans hate conservatives. There should not be anybody surprised by this statement.
Most of the elected republicans are not conservative. No surprise should be in that statement either. So the Establishment are going to get more uppity, in particular as their McCain voting base freaks out over the media’s constant drum beat over damage being done to people’s 401k accounts.
The media knows how to motivate the GOP Establishment. We are watching it happen in real time. The GOP Establishment is going to use people’s 401k accounts to great effect in the coming days and weeks, in order to push back against Trump.
Worst case - they win, horrible economy continues and worsens, and Trump is proven right and MAGA gets political credit for at least trying.
There’s an underlying assumption that doing what we’ve been doing would produce a better outcome than what Trump is doing.
4 Rinos is a rebellion?
how is the market looking today
Who needs a Black Monday when we already had a Black Thursday and a Black Friday!
Weathermen are better at predictions than Wall Street economists. Which is to say, nobody is great at predictions so take them all with a grain of salt.
In the Middle of COVID when everyone was sitting at home going crazy the markets were booming. I think these people will miss all the people on the streets who are super happy that gas prices are collapsing. You will see an improving REAL economy. I know it hurts that the funny money is going away but I’d say using only the markets as a gauge is going to blindside you. If there were a primary tomorrow Trump will win in a romp, again.

Jan 26, 2024 — A widely predicted recession never showed up. Now, economists are assessing what the unexpected resilience tells us about the future.
Always listen to MSNBC and believe every word they say.
Unless you want to remain sane and logical.
CORRECT
This is the ultimate of self delusion.
If you ask the questions correctly of AI, you will see:
What % of the population has $0 saved for retirement. Answer: About 50%.
What % of that total are over 50. Answer: 20%
What % of the population has <$50,000 saved. Answer: About 58%.
Meaning . . . those people don’t care what the stock market does, and they are largely Trump voters, not Republican voters, because . . . populism, they are the furthest thing from elite.
And they are most of the population.
The Democrats have STILL not grasped the devastation they bring on themselves by hitching their wagon to university professors and liberal arts grads with $100s of thousands in debt (pssst, the stock market doesn’t touch them either).
