We would be in a MUCH better position if Kamala won, IMO. We wouldn't have a trade war, the economy would still be growing, govt would not be slashed, BUT republicans WOULD control both house and senate and have the ability to do what they wanted legally, then it would be up to Harris to veto or agree. Govt the way it should work, instead of the chaotic dictatorship we have now. Of course if you believe that the govt needs to be torn down and the US needs to withdraw from its allies and the world, well then you're getting what you want.

Or not.

So inflation came in at 2.9%, .1% lower than last month, same as when Trump took office. Good news I guess but I'm skeptical. Why did inflation tick down? We didn't get any policy changes to ease inflation. Only thing I can think of is the layoffs, budget cuts and financial chaos has made Americans pause on their spending. Will be interesting to see now that tariffs are full steam ahead as of this morning, will the ensuing higher prices lead to more inflation or will consumers just stop spending which usually leads to lower inflation.

Some people here actually believe this.

Rubio number one thing he wants to see is death. Ok? https://x.com/KevinlyFather/status/1899573556184490232?t=GSTLIYXa1gqw4zh-vqbV_g&s=19

Musk gives another $100M to Trump. Trump runs a Tesla commercial from the White House says he's buying a car but isn't allowed to drive, then the herd like Sean hannity do the same, trying to pump up failing Tesla. So pathetic. For years these clowns decided electric cars no they're all buying them to appease musk.

Inflation hasn't been released yet but is expected to climb .3%

Still worried?

Who started the trade war?

President Trump wanted a trade war with the world, and Americans are getting it, good and hard. Stock prices continued to decline on Tuesday amid the latest Canada-U.S. tariff tit-for-tat. By the end of the day the two sides were talking about a temporary truce, but who knows which side of the tariff bed Mr. Trump will wake up on Wednesday? Mr. Trump went ballistic, even by his standards. Canada “must immediately drop their Anti-American Farmer Tariff of 250% to 390% on various U.S. dairy products,” Mr. Trump said on Truth Social. He said he’d double his metals tariffs on Canada to 50%. And oh, “the only thing that makes sense is for Canada to become our cherished Fifty First State.” Nice of him to concede, if obliquely, that his trade war with Canada makes no sense. His exhortation that Canada become a U.S. state is a tacit acknowledgment that the two economies are deeply integrated. His splendid little tariff war will harm businesses and consumers on both sides of the border. When Mr. Trump behaves as if his manhood is implicated because a foreign nation won’t take his nasty border taxes lying down. We said from the beginning that this North American trade war is the dumbest in history, and we were being kind. https://www.wsj.com/opinion/donald-trump-tariffs-canada-doug-ford-trade-war-ba0c6147

EU retaliates with their own tariffs now. It's honestly difficult to imagine that Trump is really this stupid. You have to wonder if this is a purposeful sabotage of the economy.

What does the US want?

These are afghans that fought with us in war and in exchange we promised them security and freedom. Then trump broke that promise. If we ever get into war again this will be remembered. This isn't the first time trump stabbed an ally in the back. Won't be the last either.

Neither did Democrats

What the fück is wrong with you?

I heard about this week's ago. Of course it's terrible but so is everything.

Trump also said that violence against Teslas will be treated as domestic terrorism. But storming the Capitol, well that's ok.

Yeah but those song lyrics

Trump was selling teslas in front of the White House today. Is this real life?

Trump bent the knee. Told Lutnik to call him and apologize and start talks. Trump is a cuck.

I'll be sure to tell her.

Even more regrets now that the market tanked. She asked me beginning of last week if she should go cash in her 401k. I told her not to. I still think it's the right move but she's even more upset now.

They are doing both but this was never about fentanyl. Don't be stupid. Trump doesn't give 2 sh1ts about fentanyl. This is about Trump bullying his neighbors, trying to gain respect, trying to gain power and influence....

He's honestly dumb and too prideful to admit when he makes a mistake. Also scared, he ran away and won't respond to you.

Who do you guys think negotiated the current trade agreement that Trump now says is "unfair"?
