    I would hope you are right - but I am not as optimistic.

    Trump is an exceptional campaigner, very good instincts - will do anything to win........ and while there are Asians and Hispanics that may regret voting for him, he can scoop up more middle class and poor whites. I cannot tell you how many middle class (not upper middle class) white couples under 35 are Trumpers... don't even have to be white, just need a white husband.

    S&P 500 hits ANOTHER all time high today. Investors across the world are putting their investments behind President Trump's economic leadership. Nice to see him doing it through pro-growth initiatives, and not just inflation like Biden.


    GOOD DAY

    - 20 million people will lose their Healthcare in the coming years
    - 3 million Americans will lose food assistance next year
    - Healthcare premiums are on pace for largest y/y increase in decades
    - native unemployment is highest its been in 5 years
    - beef prices are seeing their largest y/y jump in years

    People arent going to vote for the democratic party cuz of anything they did but how bad Trump has ****ed up the economy. Its about to get ugly

    Imagine bragging about the stock market at a time the job market is shredding jobs. You think the average American gives a **** about the S&P when theres no jobs?

    Delusional and out of touch

    This will be a fun one to revisit in a few months when the AI bubble bursts.

    Americans care about Main Street, not Wall Street.

    He is a self proclaimed industrialist. Industrialists love labor woes because then people are stuck working for lower wages or stave.

    Agreed - if things continue on this path, there will be a push away from Trump and his type. It has happened historically.

    However don't under-estimate how many Americans are going to double down on blaming minorities, other nations, women, liberals - etc..

    Facts matter:

    The two groups losing their health care insurance and government benefits:
    A) Illegals
    B) The able-bodied who refuse to work

    Are you here to say their health care insurance deserves to be covered by our taxpayer dollars?

    No illegals are on Obamacare. Millions are going to lose their health insurance due to premiums jumping 80% bcz of the expanded ACA subsidies expiring. 30 million Americans will be effected

    Why are you so braindead at debating facts? Youre so bad at this that it's embarrassing as hell

    Hes really just an idiot

    Imagine saying "facts matter" and then spouting a bunch of lies.

    Just to illustrate how far off base you are... only 22 million Americans are on the enhanced ACA subsidies. Yet you falsely claim that 30 million will lose them.

    Your math isn't mathing. Again. No credibility.

    Facts matter: Trader_Jorge was never a Karl Rove PSYOP aimed at sowing discord among a small group of Houstonians on an obscure message board.
