The problem is that 35% of the country believes him and 15% aren't sure. You will never convince the 35%. They could be eating rat soup to survive and they'd still insist Trump is a great president who has done wonders for the economy because "the economy" is just an abstract, almost metaphysical concept to them like a ritual state and it is being purified of the evil spirits of "woke" and "dei" so it's in its proper order.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

He is not wrong. It does well destroy the US economy, and the economical trust of the world in the US.
If you look at US bonds, they paint another picture. Other countries are off loading their US assets (bonds)…..so the dollar, if this continues, will be worth as much as a DJT crypto coin
Looks like $TRUMP is worth around $8 right now. Still $7.9992 more than it should be worth. I'm convinced Trump is tanking the dollar on purpose, expecting that to boost his crypto holdings.
Being President is a side-gig to his main job as crypto influencer, a side gig with the perk that he can't be jailed for market manipulation.
He, his billionaire buds, his corrupt as fuck political and social supporters made a killing so it's all good.
The rest of you are losers for being better at raping everyday Americans.
It is crazy to me the years of recession fears under Biden as prices kept going up and now as Trump keeps banging his tariff hammer, we're still in "recession fears" territory.
Conservatives don't mean things when they say words.
And he accused Biden of being senile
Putin is ecstatic.
I have to take him at his word. If he thinks it is going well, that means the chaos is what he wants.
He is either gaming the stock market for profit, or trying to harm the world economy.
The very slim possibility is that he is being told by others with an agenda that things are working as planned.
