    I have seen him drag himself back from the dead way too many times to say he is cooked.

    The man is literally the zombie President coming back from the grave.

    Having said that, his handling of tariffs and his economic policy in the media has been terrible, but in fairness a lot of that is because tariffs are a really bad idea.

    That's very fair, LOL.

    Wife, who couldn’t care less about politics or politicians, was complaining about beef prices yesterday.

    well, if you really care...

    drought
    import restriction due to screwworm infection
    rising labor costs due to inflation, fewer migrant workers, and stricter limits on H2A
    raising cost due to 10-25% proposed tariffs and uncertainty around it

    Tariffs are a negotiating tool to improve access for American goods into global markets. Deals are getting done regularly -- improving the terms of trade for American goods & services. Tariff income helped produce a budget surplus in June -- first in many many years. In addition to these benefits, tariffs have not led to inflation -- foreign producers are absorbing the cost... and inflation in the USA remains well under 3.0% -- very low. And the stock market is at an all time high. Investors are loving the outlook.

    The American economy is ROARING.


    GOOD DAY

    The WSJ, who is attacking Trump on the daily, admits that Trump's approval rating is resilient and RISING as the stock market rises. 46% approval overall -- very much in line with historical levels.

    Unfortunately,

    He doesn't care.. He's not running again, so do you really think he cares about approval numbers...

    Again, everyone keeps trying to treat him like the politicians and presidents of the past and he's not.

    You can spew lies all day on the internet but none of it makes it true. You're still in a cult and you're very low iq. The US economy isn't "roaring" when customer sentiment is in the gutter and inflation is accelerating

    Record earnings, trade deals getting done, low and stable inflation, record stock prices. Enjoy the Trump Golden Era!


    S&P 500 posts fifth straight record close this week, powered by solid earnings
    https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/24/stock-market-today-live-updates.html

    More than 82% of the 169 S&P 500 companies that have reported to date have beaten Wall Street’s expectations, per FactSet data.

    “The bull market lives on, supported largely by favorable fundamentals,” Terry Sandven, chief equity strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management, told CNBC. “Inflation is stable, interest rates are range-bound and earnings are trending higher, and that presents a favorable backward drop for stocks to trend higher. We still look for a risk-on bias to be intact as we move through this earnings season.”

    On top of earnings, recent deals between the U.S. and its trading partners have helped push the market to new heights. Earlier this week, President Donald Trump announced a “massive” trade agreement with Japan, which includes 15% “reciprocal” tariffs. The president also said this week that the U.S. and Indonesia have settled on the framework of a trade agreement.

    Trump said Friday that he expects more deals to be done before next week’s Aug. 1 tariff deadline. An agreement between the U.S. and the European Union could be one of those, as European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen posted on X later Friday that she and Trump have agreed to meet in Scotland on Sunday to discuss trade.

    Stock market went up 40% under biden. Nobody gives a ****. In the real world people care about grocery prices + housing costs + Healthcare. That's the only thing people care about.

    ACA premiums for 35+ million Americans are about to double
    Major grocery chains are warning price hikes in future
    Housing expenses are skyrocketing as labor is more expensive without illegals + lumber/copper prices are at all time highs

    You are brainwashed

    Trump's approval rating is something special.
