Leftists ridiculed for trying to drum up economic boycott during Trump years: ‘You’ll last a couple of weeks’

A leftist loon is facing mockery for vowing to contribute as little to President-elect Donald Trump’s economy as possible.

In a Twitter/X post published on Saturday, the leftist who goes by “Prez” claimed he intends to spend as little money as possible these next four years in the hopes that his non-spending temper tantrum will somehow tank Trump’s economy.

Look:

In the post above, the lunatic claimed he and his fellow leftists boast the power to make it so “Trump will not have a good economy.”

“I myself plan on paying my bills and saving every penny beyond that. I will not contribute to this economy in any other way,” he wrote.

This means, he explained, that he won’t buy any new clothes, he won’t eat out at any restaurants, he won’t watch cable TV, and he won’t support any mainstream media company.

FYI, the vast majority of the mainstream establishment press is just as anti-Trump as him, so it’s not clear what he’d prove or accomplish by boycotting them.

“I will not go to the movies, sporting events, or any local attractions,” he continued. “New furniture or household goods will wait until 2028. I’m going to install a few other search bars and avoid Google as much as possible. I will not buy a new car before 2028. I will do everything in my power to hold on to as many dollars as possible.”

“I do not care about the consequences of a poor economy. If they want to put us through some things then I will deny corporations my money and if we all do the same we can put them through some things at the same time,” he added.

“Prez” wasn’t alone in his attempt to push an economic boycott. Known Trump-hater “Brooklyn Dad” also encouraged the idea to his many followers:

As of Tuesday morning, Prez’s post boasted only 13,000 likes despite having been seen over a million times, while Brooklyn Dad received similar results. The comments meanwhile were nearly all critical.

Case in point:

Meanwhile, Wall Street investors have reportedly been salivating in happiness ever since Trump’s decisive victory.

“U.S. stocks’ capitalization rose by $1.62 trillion [last] Wednesday, their fifth-best one-day showing ever, following Donald Trump’s decisive election victory,” the Wall Street Journal reported.

“The surge highlights the opportunity that investors, bankers, and others in finance are hoping to embrace over four years of tax cuts, deregulation, and economic expansion,” the journal’s reporting continued.

“We know kind of where the world is headed in a Trump environment because we’ve seen it before,” TD Cowen President Jeffrey Solomon told CNBC last week. “I think the regulatory environment will be much more conducive to economic growth. There will be lighter and targeted regulation.”
