Trump will be in denial until his death, always blaming anyone but himself. It's the type of man he is. The spoiled brat raised on a silver spoon is now almost 80 years old, and still incapable of manning up and accepting responsibility for his actions
Biden can hand off a healthy economy (continuous GDP growth, record job creation, soft-landing) to the convicted felon, but it is on Trump to keep the US economic engine humming. A month into Trump 2.0, the economic data is painting a sad economic picture on the consumer front, on the wholesale front Wholesale prices for Jan 2025 pop pointing to persistent inflation pressure in the guts of the US economy the cost of wholesale goods jumped 0.6% in January 2025 mostly because of higher oil prices food prices in Jan leapt 1.1% mostly due to the spike in the price of eggs While the dotard can and will continue to lie and point fingers, the economic data don't lie
The work that Trump and DOGE are doing on cuts to spending will reduce inflation over the long term, as the savings kick in. This will occur as the US will need to finance smaller budget deficits over time. Interest rates will also come down over time as this work is successful. Obviously you can't expect a President to reduce inflation in 3 weeks, after 4 years of runaway spending and reckless financial behavior from the Democrats. Reasonable people understand that with ease. American voters sent a clear message in November that Democrats were responsible for the high inflation.
Auto loan delinquencies are running at around 2.9% - that is the highest since the Great Recession where it peaked around 3.5% Trumpflation + Trumpcession could see a new record.
How can you say that when the Democrats lost power at the ballot box at every level? Even with the full support of the media, Presidency, and 4th branch of government - the DC establishment? Who is out of touch? 1) Republicans: The party that wants to lower inflation, end wars, grow the economy, cut government waste, secure the border, and lower taxes? 2) Democrats: The party that created the runaway inflation, whose policies led to war breaking out, rampant illegal immigration, a $2 trillion/year explosion in federal spending, promotes censorship, and weaponized government against political opponents. EASY CHOICE (and the voters across the country overwhelmingly agree)
The only meaningful legislation that Republicans have passed are tax cuts, thats it. Economic metrics have historically been better under democrats. Your "waste cut" has no over sight. The border has already been secure(by Democrats). The tax cuts really only benefit the super wealthy. Tell me which President started the Iraq war? Trump hasnt ended any wars, he's just making ways for dictators to get stronger(you wont believe it no matter what I say). The last 10 of America's last 11 recessions were under a Republican. But you'll never admit you were wrong, you dont have a vested interest in doing so. You only care about lining your pockets, so you wont see the reality.
You are out of touch. Trump won the vote on deception and lies. He's not even what most would call a Republican. MAGA was deceived by a billionaire snake oil salesman and his oligarch sidekick. Now the circle of billionaires Trump put in places of authority will feed like sharks at the expense of the "middle class and poor" to serve themselves the biggest payout of all. Make no mistake, the biggest fraud of all is the man in the orange face pulling off the biggest con game of his life. Majorities across parties — 80% of Democrats, 62% of Independents, and 52% of Republicans — prefer that lawmakers steer clear of tax breaks for the wealthy and program funding cuts in order to protect vulnerable groups. Over 80% of voters want to increase funding or keep funding the same for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and SNAP. Additionally, fewer than 1 in 4 voters want to see cuts to federal housing programs, renewable energy programs, the ACA, or federal student loans and grants. And while Trump has pressured millions of federal workers to resign their positions, only 24% of voters want to see cuts to the federal workforce. A significant majority of voters agree that the wealthy pay too little in taxes — particularly billionaires, CEOs, and corporations. In contrast, very few voters think that middle-class and low-income earners are paying too little. https://www.dataforprogress.org/blo...-give-tax-breaks-to-the-wealthy-are-unpopular
Lots of brain dead ranting, but I want to draw attention to this one. Trump ended the Israel-Hamas war before even taking office -- and was credited by Biden for doing so. Trump is also negotiating an end to the Russia-Ukraine war as we speak. All of this in a month -- simply incredible. Have you missed this in the news? WOW if so. You've got to give credit where credit is due to maintain any shred of credibility. Your decision. GOOD DAY
Trump wants to ethnically cleanse Gaza, thats not what anyone wants, even Republicans. Trump being Putin's b**** and leaving Ukraine to starve is also not what Americans want. That war hasnt ended and likely wont end. The problem is you and I want different things. Your values arent bad, the problem is that you dont know how people actually live. Your wealth insulates you from that.
Wars in the middle east will never stop. They might pause, but relocating people won't change their beliefs. Just like truth slapped in front of your face when it comes to Trump lies never changes your beliefs. You can believe that he isn't a self-serving liar all you want, but that doesn't mean it's true.
Looks like Trump failed to remember to make that one phone call to get inflation down and prices back to their 2020 levels. Grandpa needed his nap, I guess. [BBC] US inflation unexpectedly increases
trader jorge is out of touch the party that started ill-conceived trade wars under Herbert Hoover's presidenct, the trade war led to economic contraction, ushering in the Great Depression under Trump 1.0, the trade war planted the seeds for inflation
Trump 2.0 ’s biggest economic vulnerability has emerged Three weeks into his second presidential term, Donald Trump is largely getting his way on Cabinet nominees, deregulation, deportation, and Elon Musk’s dismantling of the federal bureaucracy. His biggest priority, a huge set of tax cuts requiring congressional legislation, is coming into focus. One thing, however, is not going according to plan: interest rates. And it’s already getting under the convicted felon's skin. “Interest rates should be lowered,” Trump posted on social media on Feb. 12. “Something which should go hand in hand with tariffs.” Markets don’t see it that way — and unlike the many politicians Trump is steamrolling in Washington, markets can’t be bullied. Stubbornly high interest rates, in fact, could end up the bane of Trump’s second term.
obviously you cant, but thats exactly what trump campaigned on. so are you admitting that he lied jorge? “Starting on Day 1, we will end inflation and make America affordable again" - donald trump in august 2024 and are you saying that the runaway spending and reckless financial behavior only happened under biden? you sure about that texxx?
Still can't believe we have a president who is allowing his administration to deliberately cause a recession Still can't believe large swathes of the "business community" convinced themselves that the pro-recession candidate was not going to cause a recession
It took almost no work, it took a total abdication/mass delusion by Congress, the media & the business community, & within a month a bunch of neo Nazi chuds with lanyards ripped out the plumbing of the house without replacing it
