Hard to put this into words.
You're criticizing that a billionaire couldn't get call through = influence the biden admin even though he gave large sums of money, but with trump its super easy after donating. And that's somehow a good thing?
And at the same time trump admin is on the side of the common people and is supposed to drain the swamp, amirite?
Are you trolling?

H20 believes it, that's all that matters.
This has a meaning in Hungarian that cannot be given back in English. It means something like, "vile troublemaking son of a bitch.
Donald Trump's administration would cut NASA's budget by nearly half next year, reports Yahoo News. This could soon put an end to weeks of uncertainty. An across-the-board cut of almost 50 percent in NASA's science programs would mean that NASA's budget would be $3.9 billion instead of $7.3 billion. "In that case, the majority of active science missions and those in development would be completely wiped out," Casey Dreier, space policy director at the Planetary Society, told Space.com.
Cutting the national space agency's budget would mean that many ongoing and planned missions would have to be cancelled. For example, no telescopes other than the Hubble and Webb space telescopes would be funded. In addition, the complete closure of the Goddard Space Flight Centre in Maryland is proposed, with the likely lay-off of some 10,000 staff at the centre.

We (77+ million) voted for this. Simple fact, break the law, get arrested, prosecuted & imprisoned.

Alright degenerates, gather ‘round. This is the post-mortem for the analysis the mods couldn’t handle.
21.5k upvotes. 4.8 million views. 3.3k comments. 7.5k shares. 4 awards.
Then? Deleted. No rule cited. No DM. No “tone it down.” Just gone. Why?
Because I said what the markets won’t:
The Fed blinked. China and Canada are holding the detonator. And the U.S. Treasury market—the holy grail of global finance—isn’t bulletproof anymore.
Let’s recap:
- Japan started quietly dumping Treasuries. Data from Japan's Ministry of Finance indicates that Japanese investors were net sellers of foreign bonds in the week ending April 5, 2025, marking a significant shift in their investment behavior. www.fxstreet.com
- China responded to tariffs by not escalating—a silence that screamed “we’re ready.” China's measured response to the U.S. tariffs suggests strategic positioning rather than immediate retaliation. www.theguardian.com
- Japan, South Korea, and China began coordinating trade and financial policy. Reports indicate that these nations have engaged in discussions to align their economic strategies in response to U.S. trade policies. www.reuters.com
- Canada issued a $3.5B USD bond, signaled reserve repositioning, and quietly hinted at coordinated selling. Mark Carney didn’t even have to raise his voice—just moved a piece on the board and let the pressure rise. www.snopes.com/
- Bond yields exploded. Liquidity evaporated. The yield on the 30-year U.S. Treasury bond briefly surpassed 5%, reaching levels not seen since late 2023, signaling a significant drop in demand. www.theguardian.com
- The Fed muttered, “we’ll stabilize markets if needed.” This statement indicates the Federal Reserve's readiness to intervene in the markets to maintain stability amid the volatility. www.theaustralian.com.au
This is no longer about interest rates or inflation. This is a trust war.
And trust—not tanks—is what backs the U.S. dollar.
Here’s what I didn’t get to post:
The infrastructure broke.
The system cracked under the pressure.
According to Risk.net, over $2 trillion in U.S. Treasuries were traded per day during the height of the tariff fallout—double the average daily volume. www.risk.net (Paywalled)
FIS and Trading Technologies—core post-trade platforms used by major brokerages—experienced significant processing delays due to the unprecedented trade volumes.
This wasn’t Reddit lagging under upvotes. This was the clearing layer of the bond market going offline.
That’s the nightmare:
A liquidity shock colliding with a back-office failure.
It creates a bottleneck that spirals into margin calls, repo freezes, counterparty chaos, and then—
maybe—an actual market halt.
And what happened right after?
A surprise tariff exemption.
Which brings me to the biggest tell of all: the walkback.
Trump spent days imposing 125% tariffs. Then suddenly:
He backs off. Quietly. Subtly. A pause. A delay. A face-saving half-reversal.
content.govdelivery.com
Why?
Because the bond market screamed.
Because Japan’s selling worked.
Because the Treasury floor buckled—and the White House blinked.
That tariff exemption validates everything:
- If the tariffs were effective, there would be no need to flinch.
- If China, Japan, or others weren’t leveraging their holdings, there’d be no fear.
- If the Treasury market wasn’t exposed, the Fed wouldn’t have signaled intervention.
It limped across the finish line.
So what now?
This is the foundation under your economy catching fire.
And the Fed just checked the beams and heard them hollow.
If you missed the original post, I’ve reuploaded it onto my profile An idiot's Reddit profile.
If you’re a mod, just admit it rattled you. Don’t pretend it was “low effort” or “off-topic.”
You know exactly what this was.
If I’m wrong? Great. I’m an idiot with a flair for drama.
But if I’m right?
I'll reiterate
Tick.
f***ing.
Tock.
Edit:
To save me responding to all the "braindead/CCP cope/OP is an idiot" comments:
Also, for everyone else:
One of the things that was baffling to me is how Americans’ concept of freedom, at least the many Americans I’ve encountered while growing up here, is tied to owning guns. Which is odd. Because there’s more to freedom and a free life beyond just owning guns.
Ironically, their rationale for the 2nd Amendment and gun rights is how guns are supposed to prevent tyranny in the US. Yet tyranny and fascism is descending on the US and the vast amount of firearms in the US has done nothing to stop it.

Here! Here! As any SOUND nation would.
