Stock market isn’t the economy. He hasn’t talked the economy, but he’s working on it. That takes time. I think corporate greed, and the expectation that Trump and his cronies will keep taxes and regulations low, have kept the market artificially high.

Based on the quality of the episode's dialogue, I think they actually brought him in for a guest writing spot

The truth that most people in this country are completely incapable of grasping is that the President doesn’t have nearly as big of an impact on the economy as you might think. Presidential actions do have a bigger impact in the midst of a crisis, like the one Obama had to deal with. But despite his best efforts,…

Little-known fact: His first cameo was actually in season 7, episode 6.

Rodgers has always been the elusive type.

Or maybe it’s this guy!

This one was ripped straight from the headline (I mean, 1970's headlines, but still)

Only slightly less creepy than the Ford Motor Company doing the exact same thing IRL for the Pinto fuel tank recalls. https://www.tortmuseum.org/ford-pinto/

The stock market doing well at this point is the exact opposite of the economy working for people. Companies are valued on profits and maximized profits are often incompatible with fair wages and benefits (since we have little regulation to keep this under control, the companies have it in their best interest to…

Not even the windmills themselves--but the NOISE they make. We reached Peak Stupid a long time ago but fuck.

A real possiblity is that he will wage a war against Iran/Wakanda/Neverland to distract from his tax returns/obstructions/pussygolfing.

The Trump building here in Chicago is a soulless lump of glass and steel on the riverfront. I’d rather see a parking lot there.

The gold standard is legitimately a child’s understanding of economics, and it’s bewildering to me that so many people think it’s a good idea.

He’s going to push hard for a return to the gold standard, as evidenced by its support from all of his Fed nominees. It’s one of the stupidest economic policies imaginable, so it makes perfect sense that he’d support it. Plus, it gets a ton of support from the kind of sociopathic conspiracy-minded wackjobs who are…

Every time I see one of these stories, I think about that scene in Mr.Robot where Angela confront Philip Price about poisoning her hometown, and he explains that E-Corp had already calculated how many people would die and set aside the money for the settlements years before. The fight against the lawsuits is just…

I never said or implied anything of the sort.

Somewhere in his organization there is a slew of accountants doing a cost/benefit analysis of upgrade v.s paying the fines.

$2 million a year in fines? Pfft, Trump covers that with 20 minutes of grifting

I’m not sure what exact date it was that Trump built his first tacky monstrosity to blight the Manhattan skyline but from that date forward, the City of New York should demand strict environmental compliance.
