is he gonna pay off everyones mortgages and credit balance? /doubt
Donald Trump and the Republicans are insisting the economy is great and unhappy Americans are deluded. Just like Democrats under Joe Biden, they’re lying to themselves and everyone else — and will eventually pay the price.
Not until the rest of us have paid way more than they EVER will.
Because he only considers the ruling class real Americans. So yes, economy is doing great for them. It’s K shaped.
hes emulated putins inner circles, practically the same mode of govt.
It always makes more sense when you replace
economywithrich people's yacht money.KK <-- you dropped these
lucky for the republicans, the American people will just bow in silence and wait for the non existent democracy to save them
Amen
they actually believe it will be stopped in the adminstration, just like his 1st. this time around DEMs have no control over the govt, plus the old guard dems are very complicit to this adminstration.
Richest country in the world. Sure don’t feel like it when you look at our: infrastructure, schools, healthcare, public transportation, etc
it all goes to defense budget, by extension also israel defense.
Which part of the USA’s enormous debt makes it the richest country? They’re paying $2b per day just on interest repayments and have a national debt of over $30 trillion. At present the debt far exceeds GDP so I would say the USA is broke.
Richest country in the world turns out to mean that a burger and beer plus tax and tip is 50 bucks. But our education, health care and infrastructure is a global embarrasment. And we are the ones driving the equivalent of ladas now. Russians now drive posh chinese cars, which we dont sell here because itd destroy our domestic market overnight. Its all a big joke.
That’s not how it works. No, it isn’t anything like your personal household debt.
Indeed…+1. Whenever an American tells me that shit, I ask them why hunger still exists in the USA along with the extreme poverty.
What is the meaning of “the richest country in the world,” anyways? Highest digital numbers in bank? The phrase has always been so deceptive
Aircraft carriers and nukes, of course! Yay. So much “winning” for you and me.
also lots of BILLIONAIRES, and hundred millionaires, with thier wealthy enclaves.
We live in a company town now. Every cent that comes in goes right back out. No savings. No retirement. Our paychecks are picked apart by fees, middlemen, subscriptions to things we used to own, corporations forcing us into choose to pay for everything or figuratively love ina cave disconnected from society. CoL and inflation increases that pay never keeps up with, working more hours, harder, with less people, for stagnant pay, and never getting a break or vacation.
Broke doesn’t mean living in a box under a bridge. You can still have the trappings of modern life, but be a complete slave to the grind with no end in sight.

St Peter don’t you call me, 'cause I can’t go.
I owe my soul to the company store.
History repeats.
Overheard an argument at a bar the other day and the Trumpie had the dumbest retorts.
“Gas prices are up” -> “But they’d be worse under Biden”
“Grocery prices aren’t coming down” -> “Yes they are, they talk about it [on Fox News] all the time”
“ICE is terrorizing communities” -> “Fake news”
It just went on and on and on and I always the former person for keeping their cool but the trumpie is an absolute fucking moron.
You can answer back in something like:
“You’re a black trans-woman”
“I’m not. I’m a white guy”
“You’ve deluded yourself”
I wished they would live in their own reality and not effect the rest of us. I would call them skitzo but that may be disrespectful to the people actually suffering that condition.
My brother was schizo and despised Trump. Glad he didn’t have to see him reelected.
He heard all sorts of shit, but never any thing like this vile dribble
E: somewhat important context - conservative evangelical upbringing for us
More cult. Cults are literally brainwashing. The TV brain washes you into their cult. If you had no other source, you could imagine how people are sucked in. Leaving cults takes deep deprogramming. I don’t wonder if you pretended to be interested and asked them to show you how all they think is true, as if they were winning you over.
Eta: disclaimer, I don’t in any way think that excuses their behaviour.
Very ignorant of Trump.
Biden said the same. That’s why Trump won the election
It’s one of the reasons, along with the broken promises and the genocide support.
Americans: We’re broke.
Trump: No, I’m not.
This is literally what’s going on in his brain
We said Americans, not Russian plants.
They will be saying this until they all have to move to military bases like Stephen Miller because people are burning their fucking houses down
can we skip to the part of the timeline where MAGA gets burned out of this world?
I remember reading somewhere how part of why Yugoslavia collapsed was because the high ups in the communist party knew about a whole lot of problems but they chose to do nothing to not trouble the old man Tito, so things festered.
Balkanization of America coming up?
I kind of really hope this happens. We could be a federation like Europe and probably get along much better if local regions could do what they want. Though I don’t have much hope for quality of life for the southern regions.
Trump: you’re not broke enough. Not yet.
Slight correction: We’re “Broken”
It’s worse than that. He doesn’t care if you’re broke or not.
It’s worse than that, no one (well that he doesn’t hang with) are even people to Trump. They’re devices to toy with and to his delight and give him power over a soon to be known as an ex great natiion. We can quibble about the great part but no denying they were a respected entity, now they’re a laughing stock. Least they paid lip service to being better before.
I think his internal answer is “it doesn’t matter” but the narcissism gives him just enough energy to continue to gaslight, obstruct, and project to keep the attention flowing.
He cares superficially if people in general are broke, because then be can’t grift them as easily, but he doesn’t give a rat’s ass about individuals
Sometimes I feel like they’re fucking up the economy intentionally. I notice that it’s always enough to fuck over everyone who isn’t rich but never enough to screw up the stock market. Maybe they just want to get rid of the middle class while attempting to make themselves impossible to vote out.
it will never get reported on fox, or any right wing media, sine the inbreds/voters will never hear of it.
Of course he’s not broke. He’s getting paid from our taxes. Mfer
