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?

Which will be taxed.

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.

This is extra strength cope. Why bother to try to try to defend his utter and complete failure? I get that it’s anonymous, but it’s still kind of cringey and embarrassing.

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.

Annual mutual fund distributions. Always happen in December. I despise this administration but you can’t lay this one on them.

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.

What new jobs? Unemployment is up. Job creation is down.

So glad we left the military and only regret we didn’t do it sooner. What a waste of our lives and what stupid sacrifices we made for this &hithole country that voted for this absolute POS.

You didn't actually lose it...it's just there is a lag between when the mutual fund makes its capital gain distributions and when they show up in your investment account. There is a reason you don't hold mutual funds in a taxable account because of the capital gain distributions on which you have to pay tax, but you will get a large chunk of that 10% "loss" back when you actually receive the distribution.

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.

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

Biden brought inflation and gas prices way down after the crisis of COVID and the disaster of Trump's handling of Covid. On average gas prices are ten to twenty cents lower now that a year ago. Stop with the nonsense.

Everything else is infinitely worse under Trump starting with groceries. Eggs are 11% more expensive

Unemployment has climbed to 4.6%, the rate right after a worldwide pandemic.

Electricity is up 7%.

Natural gas is up 9%.

Healthcare costs are way up.

Consumer confidence is way down.

It's funny how gas prices are just weaved into everyone's subconscious as though it's a major monthly expense.

It is for trucking companies or any business that uses lots of oil & gas...but for the average American who drives 1200 miles per month, it's no more than $200/month at $4/gallon. So, each $1 reduction in the price of gas saves you a whopping $50/month.

Washington Gas just announced another 12% increase starting in Jan. The same thing is happening everywhere.

I, for one, enjoy an old man in too much bronzer screaming at me about the guy previously in his position while gaslighting me on current conditions. WTF was that?!

Dead wrong. I will give you gas prices. They are down. Nothing else is cheaper than it used to be- groceries, insurance, utilities…etc, are up huge. Additionally, there are very few jobs, but the “president” seems to have other priorities.

I’m glad you have such rose-colored glasses. When Trump isn’t focusing his time on lying is into a war with Venezuela, he is tweeting away day and night with his usual toxic vitriol- you know stuff if any of us said at our own jobs would create an HR nightmare and get us fired, but somehow he gets to be President!!!

Trump is right about “Sleepy” Joe, but that he mentions it every day, and with such nastiness, is a bad look for any adult, especially a President. Then there is the irony that Trump is too old to be president and takes plenty of naps himself during meetings.

At least Biden could get out of his own way and had a cabinet that had the integrity. Don the Con is a stain on our country and is taking us down the same road as everyone of his failed businesses.

Regarding the $1767 military bonuses…
