While the Convicted Felon and his Grifting Crime Family Continue to Profit Bigly...
The Dow sinks, Down -640 points today...
"Trump's approval rating slips as Americans worry about the economy."
"The share of Americans who think the economy is on the wrong track rose to 53% in the latest poll from 43% in the January 24-26 poll.
Public approval of Trump's economic stewardship fell to 39% from 43% in the prior poll."
"In the latest poll, only 32% of respondents approved of Trump's performance on inflation."

Folks are awakening to reality: Incompetence and uncertainty are bad for the economy and the markets.

Every gop administration in the last 25 years has led us into a recession, Trump looks to keep the streak intact.
Agent Krasnov just personally authorized the largest tax increase on the middle-class in American history!

The trade war begins, Prices going up...the opposite of what was promised...
"The trade war stepped up a gear overnight, with 25% tariffs on goods from Mexico, Canada, and an additional 10% on China taking effect."
"Within hours, China and Canada announced retaliatory measures. Mexico said they will take similar measures."
"China raised tariffs on food and other farm products, as well as adding to export restrictions on American companies. It also filed suit with the World Trade Organization.
Canada increased tariffs on nearly $100 billion of U.S. imports."

These guys can read the room:
"I’m concerned." Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.)
"Uneasy, I think, is the word." said Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.)

Are Dems focused on *how*


*How* not just to take power if and when this gets rejected.....

*How* to not just take power.....but how to make it governing power?

Nope.

Still playing checkers. And that's how when you win, the best you get is a Goldman Sachs Democrat and you say "it's better than Trump" or "better than Bush"

Wow with such strongly worded wavering, Trump must be quavering. Susan Collins needs to check to see if she still has all her pearls.

would not make much of the tariffs...look at trump years 1-4. trump has the propensity to back off from china, and after retribution, mexico and china may go up or down some small amount.
let's not forget trump's ability to change his tariff stance on any grift or whim. someone the genius trusts must have informed him that coffee tariffs, for a nation that needs much more global warming to grow it ourselves, is a bad idea. but this was a rarity.

what has changed is any notion that trump is responsible for ever-escalating level of prices across all things MAGA once cared about ; eggs, cars, houses...
this not hair-splitting over the rate of these increases to technically define inflation, but even that will apply in some cases.
this is the complete opposite of trump somehow lowering prices back to his 'great again' days. so what if MAGA is feeling it? the 24\7 media is basically silent compared to the pre-election cudgeling of biden.

so according to the gop, not only is the economy doing much better, but there is every chance prices will go down. and if\when it happens, trump will forbid it being called a recession.

While the Pedophile-N-Chief and his Grifting Crime Family Continue to Profit Bigly...

WAPO, Page One:
"It’s the toughest time in years to be searching for work in America."

"Retail job losses jumped 242% year-over-year through August 2025, with nearly 6,000 stores shuttered in the first half of the year." (Even poor Jedi lost his job @Target!)

"Persistent inflation and unpredictable trade policies are making businesses hesitant to hire."

"Stricter immigration and economic policies are causing job losses in industries such as manufacturing and government employment."

"Many are facing additional stress due to Trumps budget cuts, Medicaid, and SNAP program reductions."

"Yes! This is what we voted for!" ~Dope

Under Trump the MAGA suffering continues...

"Americans are missing their car payments at the highest rate in decades, according to Fitch Ratings data."

"Auto Loan Delinquency Rate is at its highest level in 14 years, and those in Southern states (MAGAS) are the biggest offenders."

"Southern states have the highest levels of auto loan delinquency. 9.8% of Mississippi auto loan borrowers have at least one delinquent account, ahead of Louisiana (8.4%) and Georgia (7.8%). Southern states occupy the top 14 spots."

"Generally speaking, Southern states have the lowest average credit scores, which would affect their loan burden. Because of that, they also tend to have above-average monthly payments."

Are we great again yet? Anyone? Bueller?

One local MAGA expert shoots this whole “red states suck” conspiracy theory down by explaining that gold was discovered in California in 1848 and New York built a port in the 1600s.

Seriously.

The current regime will probably carry on the work of the Bush junta in making it progressively harder for people to declare bankruptcy.

Steve..give them another lecture about "personal responsibility"

Once you creat a pool of debt slaves, you have your low wage work force.
