Right after the election, Trump glazers celebrated and pranced around and took their victory lap, rubbing it in liberals faces. Then once Trump took office and started screwing everything up in historic fashion, they quietly slunk into the shadows. Typical cowardly behavior from that ilk LOL
How many trillions of dollars would need to be lost before you would think he was screwing things up?
What are the Trumper's favorite accomplishment in the last 2 1/2 months? Signalgate where top Trump officials illegally used the Signal app to text attack plans and accidently included a journalist DOGE firing of employees only to realize their huge mistake and hire them back DOGE's wall of receipts that was quickly taken down after it was shown to be fraudulent itself The unconstitutional deportations of immigrants with legal, protected status and no criminal record The Onion again, off again, on again, off again tariffs that are currently tanking the markets The bluster suggesting we use military might to attack an ally in Denmark to take over Greenland More bluster about making another ally, Canada, a 51st state All this bluster causing a serious reduction in international travel into the US, causing a lost of billions in tourist dollars Trump's Maoist style loyalty pin Curious which is the biggest win that makes us great again?
Some have a life. But you are a full-blown, Stage 5 TDS sufferer who wakes up thinking about Trump and probably mumbles his name in your sleep. It's not healthy to hang here 24/7 and deliriously repeat the same nonsense in every post. Get some sun, do yoga, and read an uplifting book.
Even Trump supporters have to admit this trade war is a disaster with unclear goals and self-destructive actions.
Oh man, that's with DOGE cuts and before the full increase in defense spending. And that's spending, not deficit - which is going to explode with the [in progress] economic downturn and the [big, beautiful bill] tax cuts. It was funny watching the deficit hawks in Congress pretend to have a spine but ultimately cave in to the Senate's $4 billion worth of cuts version that pushes the debt ceiling up another $5 trill.
I was thinking it was cause I have most of the Orange Skid Mark Lovers blocked.... But they are probably off praying to their Golden Trump Idols....
To infinity and beyond. They aren't genetically capable of saying the stable genius has even slightly misfired, much less criticize this abject cluster. Bond market showing instability again today, which caused Wednesday's Trumpian flip flop/capitulation. 10 year rates higher than just 2 days ago, when Japan (our most reliable Treasury purchased) triggered a panic Treasury sell off. U Mich consumer sentiment survey (released today) is at 2d lowest all-time level since initiated in 1952. And VIX index (CBOE volatility index) at 3d high all-time since initiated in 1990, only eclipsed by GFC and Covid. But he's a great businessman, and this is all part of his master plan.Spoiler alert: he has no master plan, just slogans for sheep. What an effing joke.
Nah, their orange god can do no wrong. Even if he does, it's is someone else's fault or the usual whataboutism, deflection, equivocation, distraction cards come out.
Figured you’d like this George Will Op ed. The title says it all. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/04/10/trump-tariffs-macroeconomics-progressivism/ This is 10-thumbed, fumbling, overconfident governmental progressivism Trump might be the most progressive president since, early in the 20th century, progressivism defined itself with three core tenets: First, only an energetic executive can make modern government “wieldy” — Woodrow Wilson’s word. (“The president,” said Wilson, “is at liberty, both in law and conscience, to be as big a man as he can.”) Second, the separation of powers is a premodern mistake that permits Congress to meddle in government and allows the judiciary to inhibit the executive. Third, conservatives see modern society’s complexities as reasons to avoid attempting dramatic social engineering, lest unintended consequences overwhelm intended ones. Progressives think conservatives are worrywarts too timid about wielding government.
I view what Trump is trying to do with tariffs as being similar to surgery. Surgery has mixed results. Sometimes it is successful. Sometimes it is not. A lot of times that depends on the surgeon, but even successful surgeries are procedures that hurt or injure initially. Then you see the full benefits of that surgery after a full recovery. We are in the operating room right now, and Democrats are freaking out because they see blood. It is very predictable because that is what Democrats do…they complain about Trump and anything and everything he does. We were told by the Clintons in the 90s countries like China would westernize once they tasted the fruits of western capitalism. That argument turned out to be a big turd of a lie, and now we are dealing with the fall out of that decision in a peer military power that is plotting to displace us as the world’s premier economic and military power. Globalization did not deliver on its promises, and we are seeing the multi-decade disaster of economically building up a communist regime into a world power with our investment in that country. The lesson to be learned here is we should not base our evaluations of the moment like a crack addict or an alcoholic evaluates their decision to get drunk or get high. A longer term perspective is needed. A lot of times the best decision is to accept a worse position in the short term to gain in the long term. Time will tell if this works in the long term. TBD.
Can you tell me what any of that has to do with 10% tariffs on the EU or the UK or 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada? Also, if you don't think China has westernized, I highly suggest a visit to Shanghai, Beijing, or any large city in China. Enjoy the KFCs and Walmarts while you are there.
