You know what has actually been decimated? Your bank account....

[Ol Janx Spirit]

President [REDACTED] keeps telling us that the U.S. military has "decimated" Iran's military. And while the modern abridged definition of decimated means severely reduced in number, destroyed, or heavily damaged, the actual meaning is derived from the Latin decimatus, meaning "to take the tenth"--referring to a Roman military punishment where every tenth man was killed.

While it is not the brag he thinks it is to say 'we have destroyed 10% of Iran's military,' there is something he alone has actually destroyed 10% of: your net worth.

Through his idiotic tariff regime, his destruction of jobs through misguided immigration policies and efforts to reduce the federal workforce, his tax cuts paid for by making healthcare inaccessible to millions which raises the cost of healthcare for all, and now his idiotic war of choice in the Middle East which is making fuel much more expensive and destroying the value of your 401K and investment accounts, he truly has probably taken at least 10% of what you had before he strutted back into the White House like a demented Foghorn Leghorn on Adderall.

Even though he doesn't know the actual meaning of the word, President [REDACTED] has definitely decimated some things. Unfortunately, they are OUR things...or were....

1. The Dow is still up over 6 percent since he took office.

Yes, a year into his term, the market irrationally reached 50,188 and in the past six weeks its dropped almost 8 percent from that high. And yes, his decisions have set the economy on a course for further damage.

But for folks with money in the market, the overall picture is not a 10 percent decline in their net worth. Yet.
