Completely predictable. Empty shelves will be Biden too. Massive inflation? Also Biden. Unemployment, interest rates, everything Biden. He has no other play except to blame someone else so that is what he’ll do.
Normally, I do give the benefit of a doubt for the first year or so of economic news under a new President no matter which party. Policies do not usually have time to have that kind of effect so quickly. It’s great when you can point to a President you don’t like and say “see, the economy went down”, but it usually doesn’t work that way.
Not this time. Trump moved so fast to break so much that he gets to own the whole thing. Doubly so when the Fed’s predictions had been pointing downward when they had been pointing upward before Trump took office.
And triply so when the effects of Trump’s shit “policies” were entirely predictable and warned about in advance.
It’s important to note why he did the tariffs.
It wasn’t because there was an economic trade imbalance.
It wasn’t because he thought they were unfair.
It was because it is essentially the only non-military weapon he has and he wanted to look powerful.
It was because he wanted to alienate our allies under the direction of Putin.
It was because he wanted to feel like a big man. He wanted to show the world he was a dictator.
It was a selfish, dick-measuring move.
I disagree.
He did the tariff BS in order to tank the US economy, so that the elite wealthy can buy/consolidate/privatize at rock bottom prices.
His regime was all by design. And all is going according to plan.
And he can claim he’s cutting taxes, because to him the tariffs aren’t a tax which is a load of bull.
Plus he’d be claiming all the credit if it were better
Yep. There is a direct cause and effect here. He owns this shit.
He was handed a GREAT economy and he fucked it all up.
huh, I’m getting to the point where i can recognize genai instantly from just the thumbnail, neat
It’s a particularly bland style
AI, I need a picture with Linux red hat…
I’m sorry sir,
Or ma’am,Both,
it seems I’m not allowed to show images of people with red hats. Would you like images of small cats instead?
?
It actually is kinda Biden’s fault. See, under Biden, the economy actually grew last year, which is why this makes Trump look so bad.
Also, that he ran for 2024, which is at least part of what allowed the current situation…
Also, and perhaps most importantly, that he appointed a do-nothing conservative attorney general who slow-walked prosecuting Trump for the coup attempt (among other things) instead of actually upholding the rule of law.
Trump shouldn’t have been able to run in 2024 in the first place because he should’ve been hanged for treason in 2021.
“Biden is to blame for the economy. If he didn’t drop out and then he won the election, none of this would be happening right now, and I wouldn’t be blamed.” -tRumpo
As long as his lies are allowed to spread nothing will get better.
Someone needs to muzzle that dog!
lol bitch got BDS
Giving him the headlines for saying shit like this is, exactly what he desires. Because it works.
That’s why I like the rule you put up in your politics community about only posting things he’s done or actually doing.
Thanks Sir Patrick. :) Unfortunately, I had to lock it and have me as the only one posting. It was really hard to get people to understand what that meant.
Oh, I didn’t realize that (Just though you were the most active).
I always appreciated that it was smaller and was a bit of a hidden gem. This community gets…charged a little too often (that’s an intentional understatement lol). The only other one I kind-of liked was Beehaw’s, but lately it’s just a lot of knee-jerk comments of little substance.
If you ever decide to re-open it, I’m not interested in modding, but I can be sure to report things.
Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind and I appreciate the kind words. I set it up to kind of keep track and share if people were interested. It was getting where people didn’t understand the vibe. It seemed they were well intentioned, but it just got too hard to keep saying the same things. I don’t want to ban people who are doing what they think is helpful either. It’ll probably stay locked.
But please, if you see people shit stirring or trolling, report it. I only ban for a few days for the non-serial or non-serious stuff anyway. It seems to keep the professional trolls away.
Thanks again.
more lies from the criminal president
He’s right. When the bulk of tariffs’ impact hits, it’s going to be much, much worse than it is now.
He’s not right.
It’s pretty simple folks. If something bad happens, it’s someone else’s fault. If something good happens, Trump did that.
See how liberating it is not having to worry about who is right and wrong? Life is just so much simpler knowing that all good things come from Trump. Ahhhhhhh, zen.
I know it won’t change Trump supporter minds, but I wish they would ask what quarter will it get better by? That way there was at least something to track.
SAD!
Lmfao this is great. Bet he tries to blame Clinton and Obama and AOC and George Soros next, in no particular order
“”"
That didn’t happen.
And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
And if it is, that’s not my fault. <-- here
And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.
“”"
I hope all the republicans realize what horrible people they are before they die.
I hope all the republicans realize what horrible people they are before they die.
I hope that realization comes as quickly as possible.
They won’t, and will live long comfortable lives with their obscene amounts of money rather than being hanged as traitors like they should.
You’re forgetting the poor uneducated rural voters who will directly suffer by their own hands, yet again.
Can anyone remind me why we give the dumbest and least productive of us the most representation and govt handouts?
Oh, you’re talking about Republican voters. They also won’t, and will blame DEI, woke, and Democrats for all their problems 'til the day they die.
With the tariffs being randomly lifted it seems like we’re at ‘i didn’t mean it’
Privately, not publicly. And I think that chart is mostly about what step they are willing to say out loud so far. Since they need outside approval, when they fuck up, which is often, this is the tried and true path to get the least flack from the people they want to be praising them as soon as possible again.
The regular narcissists in your life follow it too, it’s practically instinct.
He mishandled covid leading to lots of extra death and when they wouldn’t elect him again he organized a lynch mob to storm the capitol and we all watched both crisis play out live on TV. None the less 94% of those who consider themselves Republicans voted for Trump in 2024. They are absolutely incapable of learning.
If we literally become the nazis and round up and murder millions before Trump offs himself in a bunker they will find a way to blame it on the Democrats and make Trump the victim then vote for someone who venerates him. We literally can’t fix them nor expect them to be fixed. We can only work on the folks in the middle the famous persuadable voter eg those too stupid to have a clear position.
honestly, the nazis always had the right idea, just the wrong targets. They should have put themselves in the damn gas chambers.
There it is. The one thing he wasn’t lying about, there was a bump in stocks after the election.
As much as he lies there were LOTS of things he wasn’t lying about. Mostly incredibly bad and crazy shit that he said he was going to do and is as we speak trying to do!
And only because he said it and some idiots bought it.
Why are you bringing facts to a bath salt sniffing party?
The GDP last year was positive all around under Biden. I wonder what could possibly have changed in US this year to cause this stark reversal.
Thanks Obama!
