Lisa murkowski R Alaska mentioned yesterday that caucusing with the Democrats as an independent could be an interesting idea. She’s an old school Republican-she didn’t sign up for this level of MAGA stupidity and recklessness. |
At this point, it only works if two others join her. |
We can’t give you a date because Trump keeps putting dates out and then backing off of them. That’s a you problem. |
Grocery prices are up 20%...I guess you shop somewhere special. the $75 B in tariff revenue can also be cast as "US Consumers have paid $75B additional taxes so far this year" What do you think will be the drag on the economy and corresponding losses as this mounts? |
Dems touted the Biden economy for most of his term. The numbers did indeed look good for the most part. Biden was still one of three most unpopular presidents in our history and he caused the Dems to lose the 2024 election to a weak opponent. Trump's history at the POTUS position has shown him to be as unpopular as Biden. When we have normal presidents in office, the economy is the number one factor by far in determining a president's job approval status. When unfit elderly men are somehow POTUS, a good economy doesn't guarantee a popular sitting POTUS. Those that have been paying attention over the past 8 years will understand this. |
I didn’t vote for Trump, but I’m sick of idiots on here literally being wrong about EVERY SINGLE PROJECTION. Kamala was a great candidate. Tariffs are going to crater the economy. Mandate Covid shots for children. Ukraine is going to win the war in 2024. Crime isn’t a problem in DC. I can go on and on and on and on. You people are literally wrong about every single issue. |
Again. Stop lying. We can all use the internet. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2025/06/11/cpi-report-may-2025-data/84131716007/
To sum it up. Tariffs have had a minor influence on inflation but are not nearly as bad as expected. Rent is down, which matters for people out of ritzy DCUM land. Wages are up too and the S&P is nearing historic highs too btw. Please tell me how this is bad for Trump. |
Because he chickened out from actually implementing the tariffs he intended to. So your point is not a point. |
Economic numbers looked great during the first three years of Trump's first term and he was still a very unpopular president. Trump is simply a very poor leader of the American people just like Biden was. Get over it, move on, and vote better next time. |
DP to add, dropping inflation and rent prices started before Trump. It was Sept, 2024, last year, that the Fed cut by a half point. We are doing well because Trump did not change much in the end, thankfully, so the existing trends from prior to Trump continue. I personally would still like to see the Dow gain back the 2000 points it lost since Trump took office. My 401k would respond nicely. Yes, I know the Dow is not the economy. |
Reading your post, I could not help but LOL |
Be honest. Trump keeps kicking the can 90 more days down the road. China is still under the same tariffs of January 19, 2025, no change. The stock market has just figured it’s not going to happen at this point. |
Inflation is coming, jobs numbers are crashing and the stock market is unregulated(which always results in a crash). Oh and the market is flat or down from Jan 21. |
You people thought we were in a recession for the entirety of Biden’s term. |
