Well, our Poor

If Gomer wasn't afflicted with one of the worst cases of TDS the world has ever witnessed -- he might realize that the "team" he continues to parrot isn't the "team" he originally signed up for.

Instead, his cognitive dissonance leaves him sweating it out on where he'll be able to afford his next XXXL Rainbow T-Shirt at Walmart.

Wolf Blitzer has him in a Full Nelson.

--------------------------

"If Trump sent the stock market to the moon, liberal pundits would be saying he's just helping the rich get richer. Instead, he's focused on bringing back Main Street and same coastal elites are still crying bloody murder. These people have been wrong about everything the last decade. Their policies have destroyed our cities and threaten to destroy our country. We aren't listening to them anymore."

Is the economy really being destroyed?
Nah, biden took care of that years ago when he pushed inflation through the roof, printed ten’s of trillion's and grew government by hundreds of thousands to the largest in American history. That ship has sailed.

Trump’s monumental task is to fix it and he’s doing a hell of a job. Unbelievable really. Greatest patriot since Washington
 
As a Trump supporter, I am deeply concerned about the direction of the economy. I agree with many of the socially conservative things he has implemented but I’m a hard No on this tariff policy. I get the unfairness in the way the U S is treated but destroying the U S economy is not a solution. I guess I was naive- never thought he would go this far in such a haphazard way in constructing tariffs. I could see a more targeted approach. Also not convinced this will result in an influx of new jobs and manufacturing. Understand there is a push by some who Would like to see Congress step in to perhaps halt some of this. My main concern at this point is Trump’s ego will not allow him to admit this may have been a foolish approach and reverse course Am I now anti-Trump? No but my support is not as strong simply because of this one issue
Trump said he would do tariffs in a bold way during the campaign. I can only conclude many voters didn’t think he would. I don’t think the tariffs are high enough. China’s manufacturing base is in better condition than ours. The tariff on that country should be equal to the one on our products. Make it truly reciprocal.

Trump left himself room to retaliate if they do... no doubt. I kinda like where we started. Make no mistake, China needs access to our consumers far more than we need theirs. I mean how much bite can they have upping tariffs if they dont buy that much from us to begin with? China aside though, it is becoming apparent we will be making deals with other countries. Clearly it will be a win for our businesses. All these so-called experts aside, call me intrigued to see how this plays out.

This is what you guys don't really understand. The "Trump Mandate" is really that he's a meme President. People loved him because he just said a bunch of crazy meme stuff and didn't actually do anything in his first term. He rode the Obama economy for the first three years to "greatness" and his D.C. insiders that he filled his cabinet and staff with kept him from doing anything unhinged. At times they blatantly just ignored him. That's what everyone loved about him. Then his first real test, Covid, came and Trump showed he couldn't actually lead.

Unfortunately, after 3 years of a rougher economy, everyone blamed Biden and reminisced on the first three years of our meme president. Trump would not have won the election if anyone actually thought he was going to implement tariffs. Everyone thought it was just meme talk like making Mexico build a wall.

Hopefully he backs off of the tariffs soon before he creates real destruction of the market. But at this point, no one in the business world trusts Trump. That uncertainty is going to plague the economy the rest of his term no matter what and lead to the Democrats taking back over.

Main Street just lags behind the Wall Street. You can keep posting this nonsense, but if Trump doesn't backtrack Main Street is going to start paying more for goods at the same time losing their jobs.

That's a recipe for disaster for a populist president.

Too funny. Obama was king of promoting low expectations. His "new normal" was designed to do just that. Trump came in and called BS... hold my beer. He then went on to produce an economy Obama didnt know would ever exist again. You guys are too much

We could single-handedly send China back 40 years in 6 months.

Trump's approval ratings are now higher since the tariffs were announced.

The goal is no tariffs and a free trade zone between the largest countries.

You're now in the last 20% of Americans who believe the Democratic Party is the answer.

Of that 20%, at least 10-12% of those individuals were likely making money through laundered NGOs and want it back.

So now you're the very elite club (8-10%) of those who weren't receiving stolen taxpayer cash and desire the corruption back.

This makes you exotic.
 
Maybe destroy is too strong a word but is it helping the economy?

I do think deatroyed is too strong a word, and used too soon.

Maybe the tarriff battle really hurts us, maybe it ends up helping, in the long run. I don't think we can take a snapshot of the initial knee jerk reaction and assume it to be permanent.

Indeed, the classic Obama comment of “what’s he going to do …wave a magic wand”?

That comment alone told me how economically illiterate Obama was.
 
Agreed. How fast people forget things like "the new normal", just so they can pretend to be outraged by Trump.

It would be funnier if it wasn't so pathetic.

These are some of the reasons why I have to shake my head and say wtf when these liberals in power and the sheep that follow them act like they know what it takes to build a strong economy... like they know what they are talking about right?

This is what is truly sad. There is ample data that proves the Democrats are better about building an economy you just willfully choose to be wrong.

When this tariff things end up being a failure, you're going to deny it and not learn from it.
 
The swing voters who helped him get elected are starting to turn


Why does this excite you? The markets will recover regardless of how this plays out and the economy will be 1000% better when that happens. They warned us weeks ago about potentially slipping into an induced recession in an attempt to undo all of the sins perpetrated by villains like Joe Biden.

Yep- Bill is spelling out the reality that Trump has no actual plan.

Dow Futures are down more than 1,000 points for Monday.

At church this morning, I got up the confidence to ask one of our elders about what he was thinking right now. He's been a Trump fan. He wouldn't say anything negative about Trump or about what he thought but he said his wife was very worried and was having severe anxiety attacks and he was worried about her. He said he needs to withdraw a sizeable amount to pay for a recent medical issue but he can't do it right now with the market dropping so much. I didn't press him on the topic and just dropped the subject.

Our economy is not going to get better with tariffs. Our economy is going to get better once Trump loses power and backs off of his tariffs.

That's the scary thing. It's ok to have differences in opinions if you're able to admit when you're wrong. But we have an entire political party that just refuses to live in reality. It isn't sustainable.
 
Joe Biden was running circles around his staff, right?
And the border is closed

And this inflation is transitory

And the laptop is Russian disinformation

And Hunters the smartest person I know

And “mostly” peaceful protesters

And I’ve never taken a penny from China, Ukraine or any other countries that offered

🤣

Last I checked we are not the supporters of a party that is stubbornly staying on 20 side of so many 80/20 issues. Weird hearing you guys talk about reality.
