I agree. And he has a point that America is much better off at the moment than most would admit. The press uniformly seems to virulently hate President Trump without regard to any fact or reason.

You have to be a white one-percenter to believe this. For everyone else, this has been a catastrophe.

In what way is that even remotely true? Everyone is better off at present.

Not a single person who has to go to a grocery store to buy food is better off. You either employ people who feed you or more likely are just another scramble brain cultist.

Grocery prices continue to rise. But Trump would know nothing about that.

Not current or former federal employees.

Not anyone who actually buys groceries.

No. America is NOT better off on any way, shape or form, you lunatic.

+1

all the new jobs went to american citizens.

that is a major improvement over Biden/Democrats

only a Democrat would argue against that.

Really? How many Americans are in the field picking vegetables, etc.? Doing the farm hand work? What about all the IT jobs sent overseas to Brazil, India, China, etc.? The good paying jobs Americans had are now oveseas for the IT environment.

Meatpacking used to be a stable, middle-class union job, with multiple generations of families working at the same plant. In 1960, the industry was 95% unionized, paying wages that were comparable to those in the auto and steel industries. Meatpacking was skilled labor. A meatpacker was trained like an old-fashioned butcher to take an animal from slaughter to final cuts.

In the 1960s, a company called IBP (Iowa Beef Packers) figured out that you didn't need skilled labor if you didn't care about your workers. Instead of workers doing a variety of jobs, IBP had workers do one cut all day long, maybe separate the hind quarter from the carcass, or slice a single cut of steak.

Meatpacking wages across the industry stayed high through the early 1980s, but then started to fall, as more companies adopted the IBP method. After all, anyone could be trained to do a single cut. By the mid-80s, wages had plunged and unions were disappearing. It was a race to the bottom and meatpacking was quickly becoming the worst job in America.

One reason it was now so awful, was that the IBP method resulted in a huge rise in repetitive stress injuries and debilitating knife cuts caused by inattention and fatigue. Doing one cut all day long on a speeding factory line was good for corporate profits but disastrously bad for actual humans.

Today, Places like Tyson Chicken and Smithfield Ham need an endless supply of 3rd world immigrants to keep wages low and unions busted, but also because it's a job that destroys the human body and spirit. Even if you're not injured, the work is so grueling that most immigrants can only do it for a couple of years before they move on. That's why you'll see that the ethnic composition of rural meatpacking towns goes through successive waves of foreigners-- Mexicans, Somalis, Sudanese, Guatemalans, Haitians-- as each group gets brought in and burned out, while management goes looking for another group of suckers.

Shutting down the immigration pipeline and deporting the illegals will go a long way to restoring the balance between workers and corporations. Likewise, we need to go back to a system with lots of small-scale regional meat processors staffed by skilled workers, something that will require breaking up these abusive corporations and overhauling the USDA inspection program.

Yes, prices of meat will certainly rise, but you already shouldn't be eating factory-farmed meat and you shouldn't be patronizing corporations that are actively wrecking America.

When are you and your kids going to get a meat peaking job?

Imagine whatever stupid thing he would say on any topic, and you're correct. Nothing new except he decided to give money ($1,776) to a million people in the military, probably to encourage committing more war crimes.

Trump is taking money out their housing allowances approved by Congress and giving it to them in a “bonus” so it looks like it came from him. It’s just a shell game with military pay from the ultimate con man.

Is this real? If that’s actually what hes doing, he’s screwing them over. Housing allowance is tax free while pay is taxable.

Yes this is real.

That’s awful-doesn’t that mean that targeted housing assistance for some military members gets cut and redistributed as a 1776 benefit for all?

America was actually great a year ago for us UMC/rich folks...and it's better this year, but honestly would have likely been even better this year with Harris in charge because the whole tariff debacle would have been avoided.

My best investment return years were 2021 and 2024 in the last 10 years. 2019 was good and 2025 has been good. 2022 and 2018 were the worst years.

However, things have generally sucked for the MC and LMC since COVID. You also have AI (or at least the buzz of AI) creating tons of uncertainty for highly paid W2 workers, causing economic anxiety to go through the roof.

Nothing Trump is currently doing will reverse it...it logically can't reverse it unless perhaps the Supreme Court strikes down the tariffs and Trump abandons them and then blames the Supreme Court. Also, stop with the deportations which are actually making inflation worse and reducing economic activity. The jobless rate for teens and black Americans has now shot through the roof, and manufacturing jobs have declined every month of 2025 since March.

I lost 10% of my mutual fund yesterday. It’s back to where it was when Biden left office. Thousands in one day. T Rowe Price and it usually has had an 8.35% return. I’m tired of the volatility of the stock market under Trump. Check your 401k. No, 2025 is not a good year now. Trump wiped out all the gains.

Not a single person who has to go to a grocery store to buy food is better off. You either employ people who feed you or more likely are just another scramble brain cultist.

Grocery prices continue to rise. But Trump would know nothing about that.

Inflation has slowed dramatically under President Trump’s economic policies and gasoline prices are at historic lows.

Me either. No raise this year, rising health insurance premiums, and living costs skyrocketed. Thought about finding a new job but everyone is laying off.

You know it was a bad speech when Fox News quickly moved it off its front page. CNN and MSNBC still have it up, but Fox hasn't since I looked at 6 AM this morning.

Jon Karl on Trump's prime time "speech.".
I do not understand how any member of his cabinet or Congress cannot deny that Trump is mentally unfit for office and invoke the 25th amendment!
