Donald Trump spent his first 100 days back in the Oval Office driving an economy that the world envied to the brink of crisis, risking America’s reputation as a financial safe haven and fostering fear among voters who’ve lost confidence in his leadership.

Americans were desperate for relief from high grocery prices and bought into Trump’s promise to make America affordable again in November 2024, partly out of nostalgia for the pre-pandemic economy of his first term.

But the president deliberately and singlehandedly adopted policies that are almost certain to spike prices even more; that could lead to shortages; and that have CEOs and small businesses dealing with chaos and the possibility of a recession.

Let your local magats know how you feel since this is what they wanted. The business owner ones even made it easy to figure out who they are over on their Nazi safe space at public square

AIPAC, the self styled King makers of US politics, dont care who you vote for as they all support israel. It's business as usual as far as they're concerned.

Looking wistfully behind me at the "brink" of crisis

Trump did not do that, America did. I only say this as no one seems to be doing anything tangible to stop this miscreant.

While yes, he won the popular and electoral vote, he is still the one carrying out these idiotic and dangerous policies. No one wants a bloody revolution in the streets, the majority of people are just trying to survive.

Congress could easily deal with this dictator, but the GOP are fully complicit and have zero desire to do anything to stop him. We've all seen the numerous townhalls of GOP reps getting torn apart over this insanity, and yet they truly do not care.

I think many Americans are still kind of shell shocked by everything. Hell, I'm still in disbelief that he even won to begin with. My disgust towards those who voted yet again for this criminal makes me not even want to fight for them.

We should be recalling the broken Congress critters at this point. It's fucking absurd.

Victim blaming is always a totally defensible and cool thing to do

[-] liverbe@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

And what exactly do you propose we do?

[-] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 days ago

I'm not sure what you mean by "we" in this new age of strident nationalism and creeping isolationism. I don't even know generally what should be done, let alone exactly. It has to do with money, power, greed, human nature...all that shit and more I assume. I guess I will do one thing today that I have control over. I'm Canadian and I will vote today.

Give the Orange Asswipe a break, the idiot is following his orders from the Kremlin and he is doing a fan-fucking-tastic job of destroying the US economy and foreign relations.
