So what’s it about?

putting it as "the economy craters" is much too passive - i'd say: they are standing behind them as he purposely craters the economy. like right there, out in the open, proudly.

+1 it's been a decade already. they supported him through all of it so far. why stop now?

sarah longwell's theory is that his support has to get down to about 33% before the party turns on him. let's see if him driving us into a recession for absolutely no reason gets us there. i don't have a lot of hope. somehow, i think he'll come out just fine no matter how much everyone else suffers.

The only thing laughable is that you MAGA morons thought he cared about you or America.

The party stayed with him through two impeachments and a coup attempt. There is no bottom.

I think the point here is that they won't have a job if they keep blindly backing Trump. Trump is going to be a hugely losing pony to ride after he crashes the economy.


We need to make sure to prosecute these maga congresspeople and Amin officials when this is all over. A clear message needs to be sent.

I think many of the ultra wealthy know they can make lots of money during a big economic downturn just like they did during the Great Recession. Honestly these people are psychopaths.
