1. Oh dear...the emergency rooms are going to be packed

With bankers with hernias from laughing their asses off.

[Rebl2]

2. Yeah right

[LuckyCharms]

3. He can call for that...

and the banks will likely call for him to fuck off.

Unless of course, he threatens them.

Which he probably will.

[newdeal2]

4. This is for looks

A talking point. But it will go nowhere.

[Frasier Balzov]

5. If he thinks this is going to save his failing party

from losing control of Congress

he is going to be disappointed.

[sop]

6. Imbecile Trump actually thinks he has the power to do this.

[UpInArms]

7. Oh my

[bucolic_frolic]

8. Intensive outpatient eval ...... STAT

Some of us don't have to drink

[Buckeyeblue]

9. Interesting. Let's see how much he talks about this

Public perception is a big deal for banks, so if Trump starts calling out individual banks, there could be ramifications far beyond card. Trump calling out a bank could cause a run on that bank and put them in a bad position pretty quickly.

10. If it happens, CC credit lines will vaporize overnight.

Then we will have a Greater Depression.

11. Trump trying to figure out how to bribe us, so we give him a pass. Hope people are not going to fall for it.

12. Oh, The Irony Of The Term "Trump Derangement Syndrome"!....

We are living in a our very own Neronian** Era, when the country is perishing but the insane despot fiddles.

When "madness takes its toll." ("Time Warp," from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" ).

** I would say Neo-Neronian, but that apparently is a term referring to the notion of rehabilitating Nero's reputation as a vicious insane tyrant to focus on his alleged interest in art and architecture. Oh, wait......

[thought crime]

13. We know what's coming.

An Executive Order that declares that, "Henceforth, everything will be Affordable".

[dalton99a]

14. Now do the price of beef

[Tribetime]

15. And to the right of me the Epstein Files

Pay no attention to that
