Normally it wouldn’t be fair to blame the POTUS for inflation. But since Trump played the game for years and promised Low Low Prices Day 1, it feels appropriate.

Normally, because normally economic forces are outside presidents’ control & effects take months to unfold. Obviously someone like Hoover who exacerbated problems are different. But Trump *did do this, this problem is entirely of his making & his decisions.

like it or not both sides are gonna have to figure this out.

I am a Canadian so it doesnt affect me directly.... but I think it is safe to say the US has just killed a foreign countrys leader and religious leader.   there is a very real chance of terrorism coming down the pipe. 

you want these guys working.   even if the rest of the govt remains in shutdown, you need to make a deal of sorts here so you have your best security people on the job.  Now is not the time to pinch pennies on this issue or remain firm along party lines.    you guys need to sort this out before something serious happens.

so both republicans and Democrats I implore you:   quit being children.  get the security guys at the airports and the air traffic controllers back on the job.

Let the shutdown affect the rest of government if you must.   the safety of the public needs to be the #1 priority here.

make it happen

 

There needs to be a law that when these asshoIes want to play the political posturing game and "shut down" the government, Congress doesn't get paid until everyone else gets paid. With no backpay for Congress when things resume. 

That's the only thing that will put a stop to this buIIshit.

They support ID of some kind to vote, different thing altogether.

I’ll accept that. Point is that voters on both sides want ID. The puppet masters in the DNC don’t.  I wonder why? Power to the people!

Actually their staffs. A lot of Congressmen are wealthy, losing their biweekly paycheck won’t bother them. If you want to put pressure on them cut off their staffs’ paychecks, then they’ll change their tune quick.

Let's talk inflation and that word nobody knew before Trump :rolleyes: "groceries":

 

Ground beef up ~20% YOY: 

Coffee is up: 30.3% YOY

Orange Juice prices are up

Eggs are cheaper (no massive bird flu yet, but still)

Results were households spent an estimated 310 dollars more in groceries in 2025 and they estimate higher in 2026. 

 

Don't want to talk groceries? Fine,

household energy prices are up 6.2% YOY.

Electricity prices rose at more than twice the overall inflation rate- fastest increase in a decade.

Gas prices jumped 19% in a month.

 

Trump has failed the people who voted for him after he promised lower prices.

Notice that the people that voted for him seem to be moving away from their vote, I told you, you must stand with your vote.

They're only wealthy because they're congressmen. Most of them didn't have a pot to pisss in prior to their desire to become public servants.

I like when Don says we’re the “hottest” country, like it’s a nightclub. 🤡 

The sad part is the economy is a hot as the Happy Hour at the Chili’s in the parking lot of the mall.

This is wrong. Anyone who regrets voting for Trump, you are forgiven. You are welcome to join the resistance at any time.

Calling the Proud Boys in Dallas at the NO KINGS event "Pro-America protesters" 😂

https://x.com/MichaelSapirUSA/status/2037982399313899855

Dallas Fox News reporter David Sentendrey sounds like a CNN reporter. Covering the No Kings march by indivisible organizers. Reporting Pro-American counter protesters are disruptive. Just like no kings protestors have a right to protest so do pro-America protestors! #FoxNews

Trump is our President regardless of what anyone thinks.  Who is going to be the replacement?  Can we for once get some good candidates? 

Depends. We can give up on the GOP giving us anyone worthwhile. Hopefully the Demshits nominate someone like Shapiro or Bashear and not Newsome.

The way things are going, I doubt Trump's overall approval will even be at 35% come November. If Republicans have any chance at all, they need to distance themselves from his most unpopular policies before the mid-terms, but that doesn't look likely, does it?

Obamas was at 38 pct in his second term, and he had the benefit of a fawning media. 

Yeah, but didn't end at 38% did it?

Fun Facts;

Barack Obama left office in January 2017 with a high approval rating, generally hovering around 57% to 60% in major polls. Gallup recorded his final favorable rating at 58%, while CNN and The Washington Post placed his approval at 60%.

The choices now are normal, competent administration with some rooting in traditional values that you may share, & populist degradation of our assets by whim sliding towards authoritarianism.

The media landscape is completely different now. Newspapers have been reduced to tabloid size & consolidated, CBS is neutered, & people more & more rely on “Know Nothing” podcasts & TikToks like Rogan & random people talking in cars. The WH & Pentagon press corps are curated as well. Trump has no excuses.

Just to speak to HT2’s other point here, Dems very much ran from Obama during the ACA debate, which I am guessing is when his approval declined because all the choices sucked (some wanted Medicare for all, others were ticked about abortion etc etc). - But the Maga GoP is *not permitted to separate from Trump, they will be punished if they do one way or another. We have a Senate race here & the ads are about who is *really loyal to Trump. It’s crazy.

Of course the Dem superior in almost every level of qualification but it’s ignored.

In normal political times, I think you're absolutely correct. When a president becomes unpopular, people seeking a more prominent role in the party will start to challenge or separate themselves.

The fact that we aren't seeing this at all should be a very worrying sign for anybody concerned about the future of the GOP.

The ACA was at the. Beginning of his first term. Another fact free kneejerk reaction from our top TDS sufferer.

I’m aware, and you did say 2nd term. But every time you bring up Trump, derangement & syndrome, come on, that just ends badly. Today Trump showed he doesn’t even know who he’s supposedly negotiating with in Iran. How does a President wuth that kind of disconnect from reality improve his standing?

You said Obama’s rating in his second term, after being re-elected, was because of what happened at the beginning of his first term. Just own up to the thing you made up on the fly.
