    Trump’s America

    you can always count on a republican to bring about a recession

    How so many people in this country think they’re better for the economy when all they do is bring about recessions, massive job loss, and explode the deficit is beyond me.

    The ink is still drying from the trade deals -- did you expect multi-billion dollar manufacturing plants to just pop up overnight? LOL -- liberals have no idea how things work in real life. Trump has successfully negotiated the most manufacturing investments in the USA in history.


    GOOD DAY

    Again dumbass no matter how disinformation you want to spew manufacturing was already popping up under biden. Your dumbass cult hero did nothing other than crash the economy.

    The trucking industry was BOOMING under Biden nd now it's dead.

    Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a candidate for dumbest post of the year! How does an industry decline 185%? It's worth less than zero? LMAOOOOO

    Low trucking rates are excellent for the economy -- helps lower inflation.... something Trump has done masterfully, as inflation is now under 3% and under Biden it kissed 9%.


    GOOD DAY

    National Economic Council Chairman and Trump tariff toady Kevin Hassett said this during a morning interview:

    "I think there could be a little bit of an almost quiet time in the labor market, because firms are finding that AI is making their workers so productive that they don't necessarily have to hire the new kids out of college and so on."

    Quiet time in the labor market? What's the word we usually use to describe that? The throw away "and so on" at the end is, I think, his brain telling him he just screwed up by being too truthful.

    I've been waiting for a long time to hear what "great again" means exactly, and here it is in a nutshell: Making 'Merica great once more means scrimping on Christmas presents because our disposable income is dropping so fast.

    There are so many things happening that people don't even realize. They don't all happen to the same person so you don't see the scale.

    Medicare cuts are crushing. The top insurers are pulling out of hundreds of counties for both medicare advantage and PDP with many smaller insurers discontinuing PDPs all together. Driven almost entirely by the cuts to Medicare.

    Agreed, we see some obvious ones because they affect us, but the scary things that are happening that we don't see because of all the friggin chaos (which is by design), things like the dismantling of the Consumer Protection Group who help us, all the research that has stopped, the funding for just about anything will take awhile to feel and see the effects.............whoever wins in 2028 will have to put the government structures back that were there to help us.

    The great news is that if a democrat succeeds Trump they'll get to spend their term fixing the chaos and broken country and hand it back to a republican.

    How many people are about to die because they can no longer afford health insurance?

    New home buyers rejoice. Home inventory is on the rise, due to the increase in foreclosures. Buyers are on the decline, due to the Trump Economic Miraculous Uncertainty. Trump is keeping his promise!!!
