    Oh shoot. What did Biden do this time? Who’s constantly letting him sneak back into the White House to sign random stuff with the DJT signature?

    No, we were downgraded from AAA to AA under W I think it was? It was all over the news at the time

      There are three top credit rating agencies and this was the final one to downgrade the US. First one was under Obama in 2011 due to Republicans playing games with the debt ceiling. Then in 2023, but I’m not sure why. And now it’s due to continued brinkmanship, but I think primarily due to Trumps impact to current and future health of us.

      To be fair, Trump didn’t (singlehandedly) cause the uncontrolled US debt - formet presidents did that too (as well as Trump im his first term)

        No, but trump (and his republican Toadies) did just singlehandedly shake the confidence the financial world has in us… Again.

        Debt can be fine, as we’ve seen real presidents use debt and not drastically hurt the US credit rating. Having a demented and unpredictable sociopath controlling the financial system is a much bigger problem, considering he’s thrown out any pretense of normal behavior and is clearly just fucking with the stick market for personal gain.
