Fox News host knocks Trump: ‘You either own the markets or you don’t’

Quote:
Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto challenged former President Trump’s record and comments on the stock market Monday after the former president blamed President Biden and Vice President Harris for this week’s slide.
Quote:
“The Donald Trump thing in the market amazes me,” Cavuto said. “When they’re up, it’s all because of him and looking forward to him. When they’re down, it’s all because the Democrats and how horrific they are.”

“Yet some of our biggest point drops, three of the biggest of the top 10, occurred during his administration,” he continued. “Now, a lot of those were in the COVID years, I get that, but, you know, you either own the markets or you don’t. It does confuse me.”

I feel like that one might backfire lol. It actually isn't a bad hashtag given the whole Roe vs Wade thing

That was Walz signing a law to give kids free lunches. Compare the children to Sarah Hackabee's signing of a law allowing child labour.

Wasn't Trump just walking around with a Tampon on his hear and his followers followed along as well?

Hard to say.

The Asheville city proper is very, very, very D, but if you travel even a few minutes outside of town, even to a neighboring town 15-20 minutes away, it's hard evangelical R town.

If it were condoms or birth control then sure but how can tampons be a problem? Everyone needs tampons. We are no longer in a world where girls suddenly bleed and don't know why.

I think most people making that hashtag trend don't really understand anything about what tampons really do or really work besides they are related to reproductive health and that is bad.

Rural NC and VA are all about Trump.

I do know at least a few people who were very hippie-liberal. They were extremely liberal on social issues, and were all about natural foods. But thought COVID vaccines and restrictions were the biggest affront to their lives and reluctantly somehow moved over to Trump.

I can see them finding a home with RFK, and I can certainly see a few of those type living in Asheville.

What is grade 4? Ten years old? These guys are doing weird. Some kids start puberty early, even earlier than that. Get over it weirdos.

Based on things I've seen on Twitter, a lot of them think using a tampon is a sexual activity.

Tampon Tim should include a campaign on free feminine hygiene products in washrooms across the country. Thanks for the suggestion, MAGA.

Evangelicals have some really, really weird beliefs about how anything to do with the female body should be treated as a source of secrecy and shame. Some conservatives believe that using a tampon means you're not a virgin anymore (and are therefore tainted and worthless to your future husband in the eyes of evangelicals) or that using a tampon somehow promotes teenage promiscuity for ?reasons?.

They're also the biggest proponents of the terrible and failed policy of "abstinence only" sex education, so they never properly learn how menstruation works. Many conservative men genuinely believe that women can just "hold it in" (like urine) and therefore it's not necessary for schools to provide feminine hygiene products to students.

They'll never admit it, but these people share far more common beliefs with the Taliban than they do with mainstream Americans.

Yeah, but would you say any of this if Evangelicals were BLACK women??

Trumps view on abortion is fair. He's against a national ban on abortion and wants the citizens in each state to vote on it.
Peoples opinion on abortion differ in various states and this seems like the only logical solution.

Right I totally forgot that tampons are somehow sexual. Silly me! I would have gone with #ToxicShockTim if I was them but that might be too deep of a cut lol

What's the benefit for a state to outright ban abortion, apart from placating religious zealots?

I cannot state this clearly enough:

Trump is a known liar. He cannot be trusted to follow through on anything he says.


That being said, let's assume the same of Kamala.
If she is lying, nothing changes.
If Trump is lying, then things get a lot worse for the whole country.

So in the WORST possible case with Kamala (she is lying) things don't change.
Any better case (she is telling the truth), and things improve for people all over the country.

In the BEST possible case with Trump (he is telling the truth), things don't change.
Any worse case (he is lying), and things get worse for people all over the country.

Put that on a risk matrix and see where reasonable people think they'll end up.

Trump regularly tells people that in California they are killing babies 4 weeks after they are born.
He's either straight up lying about that, or he's so dumb he actually believes it.
Either way, what about statements like that make you think he'd continue to allow that to happen (even though it actually/obviously isn't).

100% guarantee it goes something like this:
Trump: Today I'm enacting a nation wide abortion ban
Everyone: But I thought you said it should be left to the states, and that you would never do this
Trump: What they're doing in California is horrible, we need to put a stop to it
Everyone: But that's not actually true about California
Trump: Well a lot of people are saying it is, so that's something someone should look at....
