In this context being forced to sell when the market is low, can also be expressed as being forced to eat your seed corn.
Another Trump official trying to trick us. People who are 73 years old and above must sell off a chunk of their retirement accounts every year. Most do it monthly. It’s called required minimum distributions.
WELKER: Trump promised he was going to improve the economy on day one. What's your message to Americans who want to retire and have just seen their lifetime savings drop significantly?
BESSENT: Most Americans who have put away for years in savings accounts don't look at the day to day fluctuations

i am fascinated by the outright refusal of people in the professional political commentary class to just consider the possibility that there is no plan and that trump really is a braying idiot with the more acute case of narcissistic personality disorder on record

In case you’ve forgotten how we used to treat this sort of thing…
There would be bipartisan calls for investigations
Impeachment would be a foregone conclusion
Several people would’ve resigned or been fired by end of day
Back when responsible adults were in charge, not this insane clown posse

I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.

Putin made Trump wait almost two hours. Their phone call was supposed to have taken place already, but Putin was still at a conference. When Putin is reminded of the meeting, everyone starts laughing; they're literally mocking Trump.

The expected standard of behavior Americans have for Democratic versus Republican politicians has always been clearly unfair, but the way Republicans swallow Trump's short-comings is kind of staggering.
Imagine if Joe Biden had reposted a liberal pundit saying ‘shut up about gas prices’ in 2022. It would have led the news, all of the news, for days, weeks, on end.
