Things are not looking great for the US these days.

So less money spent at the pump equals less money out of your pocket. Over all inflation DECREASED by even more than expected. Trump's leadership on the economy is working. The deficit is DECREASING. Also 2025 job growth was anemic because we cut 300,000 federal jobs out because they were unleaded like USAID.

US January budget deficit falls to $95 billion as revenue gains outpace spending growth​

The deficit was almost $100 billion for one month, you fucking idiot. That’s $1.2 trillion for a year.

I’ll repeat. Fuel is a worldwide commodity, not set by any president. Food and rent still exceed that inflation rate.

Why the anemic job growth? Oh that’s right, Trump DIRECTLY ELIMINATED 300,000 jobs.

What part of the K-shaped economic curve escapes you?

Not true. The CPI is at 2.4% while inflation is running about 2.7%.

It sure is, and We the People mandated it.

Nope. America is currently circling the drain thanks to you idiot.

DOW hits 50,000 - Marxist warn of gloom and doom.

For them, of course..

The next time any Trump stooge says "Stock Market"

Ask them to compare it to foreign markets in dollar terms. The rest of the world’s stock markets are crushing the US market since the start of 2025. Dow was under 15% for the year MSCI was just under 30% Nekkei over 25% Kospi a whopping 75%! So compared to everyone else, especially Asian...

I'll repeat Trump is REDUCING the deficit through tariffs. No one says he has eliminated the deficit you moron. If Biden or the drunk Kamala were in office the deficit would be even worse.

Jobs numbers have been in the tank for a year.

tRumple thinskin has likely permanently destroyed any and all goodwill and trust in the world.

Everything from permanent closer of bases around the world to completely dropping the dollar as the international currency of trade, are on the table.

China sees this and is already in motion to take advantage of it around the world.

We aren't in a good spot here, folks.

This in the news today, Feb 15, 2026, If this is what " looking up "looks like to MAGAS we are in deep shit.

Well doesn't seem to want to come up.
But it was an article on how Americans are selling their blood just to buy food. NOT GOOD.

I don't see it. Putin likely wants NATO and Western Europe to stop supplying arms and munitions to Ukraine, but he's in no position to do anything about it militarily or politically.

...

i said before Trump took office this time that the WHite House and America would be for sale.

Meaning that if Country B is negotiating some deal with the US where there are billions of value to be exchanged and where both countries expect to benefit, instead Country B could quietly get word to Trump that they would give him personally a few million if he cut the US side of the deal, even to a point where it costs tax payers billions.

With Trump crytpo that has become a reality as Countries, and Tech Oligarchs looking for govt welfare, and criminals looking to have their cases dismissed or a pardon, or Putin looking for Ukraine and Nato help, or China wanting the US top AI chips, all get what they want.

Wouldn't this indicate that there's a growing demand for this 'product' and that the supply isn't keeping up?

I think any claim that this has anything to do with Trump or MAGA is BullShit......this is a long running trend.

Well, that too. As long as I can remember there were college students selling plasma because they were broke and needed party money, etc. for example.

Nobody said it was illegal the point of it was if things are going so great in the MAGA world why are people having to sell their blood to buy food for their families,

 

[IBDaMann]

NO but I do read the news

Nope. You read the curated talking points that tell you what you are to believe, how you are to think and what you are to regurgitate.

and other things showing that the MAGAS are not happy

I'm happy. You fail to meet the null hypothesis. Your argument is falsified.

and as said after the BBB is completely in place and it starts hurting not only them ...

You can't be saying "them", you have to say "you" because I am one of them.

Let me check ... nope, everything you're saying is incorrect.

 

[IBDaMann]

Who stole any elections?

The DNC.

You believe everything that Trump says?

Nope.

 

[IBDaMann]

Oh and one more thing As per the Constitution states legislatures have the right to appoint their delegates to the EC ANY WAY THEY CHOOSE.

All of this has already been discussed ad nauseum.

They don't even need to hold election they can just assign and tell them whom to vote for.

Yes. All of this has been discussed ad nauseum.

 

[IBDaMann]

Here is an interesting article about how the MAGAS are starting to go against Trump.

I don't care about crafted propaganda. Start with me. Tell me how I am starting to go against Trump.

 

[IBDaMann]

I don't think so MAGAS are finally waking up and seeing what is going on ...

 

[Crepitus]

There is, and the US is one of the few places you can get paid for "donating", I was just reading the we supply 70% of the world supply because of that.
