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.

Just saying things used to work for Trump. It doesn't anymore. He's lost too much credibility and influence. And it certainly doesn't work for you.

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.

Huh. Shocking.
“President Donald Trump’s $1,776 checks for more than a million troops, announced Wednesday, come from Congressionally-allocated reconciliation funds intended to subsidize housing allowances for service members, a senior administration official confirmed”

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.

No, "all" the new jobs did not go to american citizens and....the jobs that have not been filled means food dying on the vines and seniors getting substandard or no care, our veterans getting substandard care and so on.

Things are not better- you have to have your head in the sand if you believe this.

What’s the deal with the checks? Are they in the mail? And how can he appropriate money from the tariffs to do this? Does congress do anything anymore?

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 have to hope that people watching were fact checking with what they see in real life as it relates to eggs, gas, real estate, and it made them question the rest of his speech. Otherwise, he sounded better than usual and his supporters will like what he said - 100% border control, new jobs only for Americans, etc etc. Teleprompter and no one asking him questions. I imagine some people still bought it.
